In what business scenarios do we create a non referenced RMA in Oracle order management - oracle-apps

-> Generally we create a Return Material Authorization (RMA) against
a Sales Order (SO) when customer rejects the goods.
-> In the above case, if we create a Return Order then the Sales Order
will be referenced here.
-> But Oracle ERP Cost Management module provides us to create a
Return order without referring the sales order also.
-> So generally in what business scenarios do we create that?

When a company sells it's products to distributors, there is an understanding between the Company (seller) and distributor that the distributor would return 5-10% of a product to the seller if it is unsold.
The above said scenario is called Stock Rotation RMA which doesn't have reference Sales Order reference.
For further details on RMA, please read the below link.

We applied the same that you asked about when we were in going live period, we did all RMA without referencing them to SO because we didn't have a reference SO.

Is it possible to add multiple prices to one product in Woo commerce depending on whether the customer is an individual or a professional?

My client has two customer types (enterprises and individuals), he wants to propose different prices regarding the customer type. This customer type should be defined when the customer creates its account. I still haven't found a solution to do this automatically : after account creation depending on whether the customer said he is an enterprise or an individual, I want that the right price is automatically selected. Do you have any idea of how to do this without a manual user role given ?
Before registration, is it possible de display both prices so that the enterprise also knows what it will have to pay if it registered ?
That would be awesome if you have any idea of plugins doing this or how to code this.
Thanks a lot
Have a good day !
I believe you are looking for a what will be called a Wholesale User Plugin. There's a handful of them out there that you could look into. It will allow you to set up multiple user roles with different pricing structures.

How can we understand the accounting entries in oracle applications or Oracle EBS?

I need to understand the accounting entries that are created in Oracle ebs. For example, when we talk about a standard P2P cycle, there are certain accounting entries created right from the moment a purchase order is created, approved and received.
I have basic knowledge of debit and credit entries. But when it comes to making debit and credit entries in Oracle apps, when I look at the accounts being used, I can not apply the basic dr cr entry rules to the accounts.
Please advise on this. Kindly also suggest some resources from where I can obtain this information.
This isn't a simple answer as the DR and CR entries are all driven by the accounting setup. To use your example, when a PO is created, very little accounting is done. It isn't until the line is received and Create Accounting is run that debits and credits are really applied based on how the accounting rules are set. If you were to open a PO, click "All Distributions", select a line and then click Tools > View Accounting Events, you'll see the detailed debits and credits that the accounting setup has created.
I'm not sure what your role is (developer, analyst, accountant etc.) or your experience level, but I would suggest you familiarize yourself with the accounting setup of your organization to be able to truly understand it. My suggestion is to get a Financial Super User responsibility in your development environment and ask one of your Financial Analysts to show you the basics of your account setup.
If you really want a deep dive, login to your My Oracle Support account and start looking at the documentation (Doc 1597048.1). The user guides are exhaustive but very helpful when you get the right one.
The debit and credit depends on the accounting rule setup.
In simple terms:
Inv Validated:___Dr-------Cr
Inv Exp...............100
Liability...........................100
Inv Paid:________Dr-------Cr
Liability........100
Cash................................100
There can be several steps in between depending on the Accounting rules, like Encumbrance accounting.

Contact to a lead in CRM Dynamics 2013

I know in CRM 2011 you can not convert a contact to lead. Is it possible in CRM 2013 .
In simple words i have created a contact and grouped it in to a account. I would like to convert this contact in to lead so that i can make a sales entry.
Strange all leading CRM package provides this , in 2011 its not available is it there in 2013.
This functionality is not available out of the box. However, there are a number of ways to implement this.
The easiest would be to create an 'On Demand' Workflow - that creates a Lead with information from the Contact. This can be run manually against specific Contacts - as I presume you don't want to do this for every Contact.
The alternative is to use the SDK, you could create a Lead from the information in the Contact and have a Ribbon button to invoke the SDK code.
Typically, you would convert (Qualify) a Lead into to an Account, Contact and/or Opportunity. It is unusual to convert a Contact to a Lead.
I think your problem is one of terminology, not functionality.
If you want to record a new potential sale for an existing Account or Contact, the most obvious thing to do would be to create an Opportunity.
If for some reason you want to create a potential potential deal, and want to use a Lead to hold this so you can do a more formal pre-qualification before you get to Opportunity, then just create a Lead linked to the Contact and Account. Since there is a relationship there already, you cold do this by adding a sub-grid on the Contact form, or adding Leads to the navigation on the form (like any other child entity).
You don't need to "convert" the Contact, keep that as it is and just add another record to represent the possible new sale.

Database relations query

I have two database tables
this is a sample database of a Ticketing system.
Figure 1: Sample table of air ticket.
Figure 2: Sample table of tax.
Requirement:
When ticket is made from the interface, it has multiple taxes of different names every time.
How can I store this information i.e. 'n' number of taxes for each ticket with different names every time.
I have tried to make many to many relationship but the problem is:
For each ticket if the tax is not setup, then need to add the tax first.
Any optimal solution for this?
"the problem is: For each ticket if the tax is not setup, then need to
add the tax first."
This is not a real-life problem. In real life governments declare taxes well in advance of collecting them, This gives organizations sufficient time to amend their systems which need to handle taxes. Tax is never a surprise.
"But this is very tiring solution for the end user.... to make bunch
of tax setup for each ticket"
This sort of thing is reference data, and is the duty of the system developer (hint: that's you) to populate the reference data tables. Or at least provide a screen where the user can create or amend various taxes. This is a different function from defining a ticket type.
The Ticket Creation screen should have a drop-down list (or similar widget) displaying all the existing taxes, which allows the user to pick the relevant one(s). If you reall think it's necessary you can include a link to the Create Tax screen, but that really is a very confusing workflow.
If the commentators are correct, and this is a ticket purchasing function, then your design is seriously wrong. Sales taxes must be included automatically to the cost of the purcahse as part of the transaction. Otherwise nobody would pay any tax.

How should I implement currency conversion in my Druppal application?

If an User has X amount of credits on his account (I think CCK can store this value). He can create specific Nodes (requests for admin). Each Node has a Type (Taxonomy defined, may be. Or via CCK). Each Type has associated number of credits. When user publishes a Node providing certain type, his balance of credits decreases by the number of credits Node Type has (admin will perform this request and send user notification email).
This is some kind of very simple e-shop for activation codes. I didn't want to use Ubercart due to it's complexity. May be this functionality can be achieved using some simple Drupal modules? Or may be there are some alternate ways? Or it is better to go Ubercart (can it do what I want BTW)?
I've seen folks in the Ubercart forums do this kind of thing for purchasing/posting ads on a site.
Check out these modules:
http://drupal.org/project/uc_store_credit
http://drupal.org/project/userpoints_ubercart
https://www.drupal.org/sandbox/taggartj/2343093
may be worth a look it is a credit system, adds a product feature to give user credits also has good helper functions to integrate with rules ect , also has a sub module to limit a content type by amount of credits and then deducts after the new node has ben created & has blocks to show the user their credits and credit history :)
