How to Upload AP Invoices using Oracle WebADI Custom Integrator

Oracle WebADI:

Oracle Web Application Desktop Integrator (Web ADI) is Oracle E-Business Suite's solution for integrating E-Business Suite applications with desktop applications such as Microsoft Excel, Word and Projects.  "Integrators" encapsulate the metadata and other information needed to integrate a particular Oracle E-Business Suite task with a desktop application.  You can use the Desktop Integration Framework (DIF) to create custom integrators for Oracle Web ADI in Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.2. The ability to create custom importers was added in EBS 12.1.3

Prerequisites:

1.  Setup

Excel Sheet Options

A.  Go to File > Options > Trust Center

B.  Click the button 'Trust Center Settings'

C.  In Macro Settings -> check radio button Enable all Macros

D.  Click the checkbox 'Trust access to VBA project object model'

 

2. Set the profile option “BNE Allow No Security Rule” to yes as given in the below Screen shot

Integrators:

Integrator is a set of metadata that encapsulates all the information needed to integrate a particular Oracle E-Business Suite task with a desktop application.

By defining an integrator, you enable your users to do the following:

1.      Generate a formatted data template on the desktop containing application-specific fields for data entry.

2.      Enter or modify the data in the desktop application with the same kind of validation rules that existed in the EBS application.

3.      Upload data from the desktop document to feed the data to Staging Tables, Interface tables or directly to base tables.

4.      Verify the results of the upload process and correct any errors or data issues immediately.

   Setups:

    1. Define Custom Package for uploading invoices into our custom Table

    Create Custom Table:

    AP_CUSTOM_INV_INTERFACE

     create or replace package WebADI_INVOICE_UPLOAD_PKG is
