Hi Feroz,

Could you give more details on what you meant by OIC 12 with 11i as back office ?

If you mean having 2 instances (12 for OIC) and 11i (for Order/Onvoice), yes, it can be done.

Regards,
Srini

Hi Satya,

OIC can be used to calculate thr rebates.

OIC can interface the rebate amount to AP if the reseller is et up as supplier.

If you need create Credit memo for the rebate amount and send it back to AR, this will be a customization. I see this is a common requirement.

Hope this helps.

Hi OIC gurus,
We are exploring OIC 11.5.10 to fill in for Rebate accrual functionality to compensate reseller customers, based on their quotas and sales achievements. We have tried Oracle Trade Management module, but decided that the functionality there is not robust enough to accomplish what we are trying to do. I know that it is NOT the intended use of OIC, but I was just wondering if anyone used the module to track sales budgets, achievements and paying the rebates etc. We have implemented the entire Distribution suite of applications.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Bharat,

Thank’s for your comment. When we implemented OIC (release 11.5.10), we also used staging tables. We didn’t use Oracle Order Management and Receivables either. During the setup of OIC, you have to map these staging tables with the Oracle OIC tables. Besides this approach, it is also possible to create manual transactions, which can sometimes be usefull.

If you sent me an email, I can give you some documents with some screenprints how to set this up. There are of course other setupsteps needed before you can collect, load, calculate and pay the transactions. I will put screenprints with these setupsteps as well. I have another document with steps from collect till the payment process.

Please sent your email to richard.deboer@amis.nl

Kind regards,

Richard de Boer

Srinivas,

You can build a program to load quotas from spread sheet or flat file. There are API available to load quota into oracle.

Let me know if you need more details.

Thanks,
Srini

Hi San,

If you have a need to build a report to get the commission rates for multi dimension rate table table, it can be done. Depending on how the rate tables are set up, we can build a custom report.

Please contact me at parimi_srini at yahoo if you need help.

Thanks,
Srini

Hi Richard, I have been assigned a project for implementing OIC R12i. I have worked with OHR for some time now, but this is the first time I am implementing an OIC.
The client wants to use Open collections rather than Standard Collection as he does not have Oracle Order managemnt and receiveables. There are 2 staging tables created in OIC which are loaded with data everyday for creation of transactions.
I wanted to know what is the process that is required to be set to create transactions and how.
I hear there are 2 batch jobs to be run, 1 for collecting transactions (CN_COMM_LINES_API) and 2nd called TRansfer Interface load (whchi loads data into comminsion lines and commission header)
I am a little confused as to how to load the order data and ready the system for calculation. Request you to please throw some light on the same as I am not able to get a clear understanding from User guide/implementation guide.
Thanking in anticipation, Bharat
