Profile Options

This appendix covers the following topics:

Overview of Profile Options

During implementation, you can set values for profile options at various levels to specify how the Oracle Landed Cost Management application controls access to and processes data. The system administrator sets and updates profile values. For more information see, Setting User Profile Options in the Oracle Applications System Administrator's - Maintenance Guide.

These profile options are unique to Oracle Landed Cost Management.

Landed Cost Management Profile Options

You can set the profile options described in this section in any order and at any level as indicated in the profile option tables:

In addition, most of the profile options have been provided with default values.

INL: Allow Simulations for Approved Purchase Orders

The profile determines whether landed cost simulations can be created or updated for approved purchase orders.

LOV Values Default Value Where Used Supported Levels
Yes or No No Managing Simulated Landed cost S

INL: Allow to Copy and Cancel Completed Shipments

For the completed shipments, based on the action that you select on the Shipments Workbench page, this profile option enables you to:

LOV Values Default Value Where Used Supported Levels
Yes or No No Managing Landed Cost as a Pre-Receiving Application S, A, R, and U

INL: Allow Updates to Completed Shipments

This profile determines whether you can make changes to completed shipments.

LOV Values Default Value Where Used Supported Levels
Yes or No No Managing Landed Cost as a Pre-Receiving Application

INL: Default Currency Code for QP Charges Generation

This profile option is used in Oracle Advanced Pricing integration with Oracle Landed Cost Management.

This profile option defines the base currency used when integrating to Oracle Advanced Pricing. All the shipment line amounts are converted to this currency and the currency conversion type indicated in the profile options.

LOV Values Default Value Where Used Supported Levels
All available currency codes Blank Integration with Oracle Advanced Pricing
Generate Charges process
S

INL: Default Currency Conversion Type for QP Charges Generation

This profile option is used in Oracle Advanced Pricing integration with Oracle Landed Cost Management.

This profile option defines the currency conversion type used when integrating to Oracle Advanced Pricing. All the shipment line amounts are converted to this currency and the currency conversion type indicated in the profile options.

LOV Values Default Value Where Used Supported Levels
All available currency conversion types Blank Integration with Oracle Advanced Pricing
Generate Charges process
S

INL: Default Shipment Type for Open Interface

The system uses this profile option to determine the Shipment Type the Landed Cost Management shipment headers are created with, in the Managing Landed Cost as a Service flow, where Landed Cost Management shipments are automatically created for the receipts.

LOV Values Default Value Where Used Supported Levels
All available shipment types Blank Managing Landed Cost as a Service S

INL: Item Category Set

This system uses this profile option to restrict the purchase order shipments to be integrated with Oracle Landed Cost Management based on item categories.

The system uses this profile option to define the category set used to extend the logic used during the purchase order approval process. If the profile option is enabled, the LCM calculation flag is set for items belonging to this category set.

LOV Values Default Value Where Used Supported Levels
All available category sets Blank Managing Simulated Landed Cost

INL: Number of Days Filter for Landed Cost Analysis

The system uses this profile option as the default number of days filter for the Landed Cost Analysis page.

Note: If Oracle Information Discovery is installed and licensed in your environment, then refer to the Oracle E-Business Suite Information Discovery Integration and System Administration Guide for detailed information about the Information Discovery enhancements to the product.

LOV Values Default Value Where Used Supported Levels
Any number 28 Landed Cost Analysis page S

INL: Number of Days Filter for Monitor Daily Operations

The system uses this profile option as the default number of days filter for the Monitor Daily Operations page.

Note: If Oracle Information Discovery is installed and licensed in your environment, then refer to the Oracle E-Business Suite Information Discovery Integration and System Administration Guide for detailed information about the Information Discovery enhancements to the product.

LOV Values Default Value Where Used Supported Levels

INL: Quantity UOM Class

Use this profile to indicate the class defined for each unit associated with "quantity" cost factors. The system uses this profile to determine the class used for the “quantity” allocation basis. This profile, along with the weight (INL: Weight UOM Class) and volume (INL: Volume UOM Class) profiles drive the Oracle Landed Cost Management UOM conversions for the Generate Charges and Calculate processes.

LOV Values Default Value Where Used Supported Levels
All available classes Blank Generate Charges and Calculate processes.

INL: Re-Prorate Change Invoice Amounts

Use this profile to indicate how charge invoice amounts that were automatically prorated in Oracle Payables (through Invoice matching of freight and miscellaneous charges to receipt lines) are reallocated in Oracle Landed Management. These charge line amounts are used in determining the actual landed cost of a shipment. Values are:

Note: You can write your own code within the Matches Interface Hook INL_CUSTOM_PUB.Set_MatchesIntHook so that the Matches Interface Import concurrent program can generate charge lines using a different method than what is provided in the INL: Re-Prorate Charge Invoice Amounts profile option.

LOV Values Default Value Where Used Supported Levels
  • Blank (Not defined)

  • Across all Shipments

  • By Purchase Order

  • By Shipment

Blank (Not defined)

Note: If you do not set a value for this profile option, then all cost factor amounts of an invoice (irrespective if their amounts were automatically prorated or manually entered) are summarized across all shipments and then reallocated using the allocation basis from the cost factor setup.
