The Period Close Check for Shipping Transactions client extension (CST_PeriodCloseOption_PUB.Get_ShippingTxnHook_Value) checks for pending transactions that prevent the period close program from processing. You can use this client extension to specify whether Shipping Transactions should be Resolution Required or Resolution Recommended. If you modify the code in the client extension procedure to return a value of 1 instead of 0 (default), then resolution of shipping transactions becomes optional. By default, the resolution of shipping transactions is required.
After a sales order is Ship Confirmed in the Oracle Manufacturing Shipping application, the inventory quantities must be depleted for the items in the sales order, and this is accomplished by running the Inventory Interface concurrent program. This concurrent program inserts rows into the Mtl_transaction_interface table. You can run the deferred transactions at a later date.
The Period Close process checks for unprocessed shipping transactions. You can view unprocessed transactions from the Inventory Accounting Periods window by selecting an Open accounting period, and choosing the Pending option to open the Pending Transactions window.
The Inventory Period Close validation also checks for pending landed cost adjustment records in the CST_LC_ADJ_INTERFACE table when LCM is enabled for a given inventory organization.
The Pending Transactions window displays the Resolution settings for shipping transactions.
You can also set up system alerts and view notifications in the Oracle Applications Manager (OAM) console. Set up system alerts by selecting System Alert Setup in the System Alerts- Notification window.
