how to pass the same value to more than one report with same parameter in request sets in oracles apps

Ex. If you have more than one report in a request set for which the parameter value is same and the user don't want to enter it more than one time.

Here is the setup.

Use the Shared Parameter field to set a default value for a parameter that occurs in more than one report or program of a request set. Once you enter the same parameter label in the Shared Parameter field for each occurrence of the same parameter, the value that you assign to the first occurrence of the parameter becomes the default value for all subsequent occurrences of the parameter. The shared parameter label simply enables you to set an initial default value for all occurrences of the same parameter so you can avoid typing the same value all over again for every occurrence of the parameter.

For example, suppose you define a request set that includes three reports, and all reports include a parameter called “Set of Books". You want the “Set of Books" parameter to default to the same value in all reports. To accomplish this, enter a label called “Book" in the Shared Parameter field for the first occurrence of this parameter. You can also assign a value in the Default Value field of this parameter now, or wait until you run the request set to assign a default value when the parameter first appears. Enter the label “Book" in the Shared Parameter field of all other occurrences of the “Set of Books" parameter in your request set. When you submit this request set from the Submit Requests window, every parameter that you label “Book" defaults to the value you assign to the first occurrence of the “Set of Books" parameter.

Important: Note that if you later change the value of a parameter that contains a shared parameter label, you change only the value for that instance of the parameter, and not the value for all other occurrences of that labelled parameter.

Creating order using oe_order_pub.process_order api in order management

The major difference between 11i API parameter and R12 parameter is Org_Id . In R12 Org_ID as parameter we need to pass it to the API.

How to Copy Sales Order Line level sets in Order Management (R12i Feature)

In R12 Oracle has introduced a new feature, where you can copy the Line Sets (fulfillment/Ship/Arrival) while copying the sales order, this will be great help to customers where they have very large sales order with Line sets. Till now user has no option , but to copy the sales order without sets and then manually added line to the sets in new-copied sales order , this process is very tedious and time consuming if the # of lines Order are large and these lines belongs to multiple Sets. But with new functionality their job is really very easy.

This new feature to copy the Sets , has nothing to do with the existing feature of fulfillment set at the order header level , but it do results in some issues/error is not take care properly.

For this new feature Oracle has provided 2 additional checkbox in the Copy Order Form.
1. Fulfillment Set
2. Ship /arrival Set
By default these will be unchecked and also if user is not copying the Order line then these 2 check boxes will be disabled.

BITAND function in sql

Purpose

The BITAND function treats its inputs and its output as vectors of bits; the output is the bitwise AND of the inputs.

The types of expr1 and expr2 are NUMBER, and the result is of type NUMBER. If either argument to BITAND is NULL, the result is NULL.

The arguments must be in the range -(2^(n-1)) .. ((2^(n-1))-1). If an argument is out of this range, the result is undefined.

The result is computed in several steps. First, each argument A is replaced with the value SIGN(A)*FLOOR(ABS(A)). This conversion has the effect of truncating each argument towards zero. Next, each argument A (which must now be an integer value) is converted to an n-bit two's complement binary integer value. The two bit values are combined using a bitwise AND operation. Finally, the resulting n-bit two's complement value is converted back to NUMBER.

Notes on the BITAND Function

• The current implementation of BITAND defines n = 128.
• PL/SQL supports an overload of BITAND for which the types of the inputs and of the result are all BINARY_INTEGER and for which n = 32.

Examples

The following example performs an AND operation on the numbers 6 (binary 1,1,0) and 3 (binary 0,1,1):

SELECT BITAND(6,3) FROM DUAL;

BITAND(6,3)
-----------
          2

This is the same as the following example, which shows the binary values of 6 and 3. The BITAND function operates only on the significant digits of the binary values:

SELECT BITAND(
   BIN_TO_NUM(1,1,0),
   BIN_TO_NUM(0,1,1)) "Binary"
FROM DUAL;
 
    Binary
----------
         2
