WHile trying to enter the necessary information for setting up the Financial options of payables, i am hitting a problem where the accounts entered cannot be saved as i kept getting prompt for selection of Inventory organization. This is strange because i am not implementing anything outside the payables. I have been following the lecture video, and my getting a problem requesting inventory organization is insurmountable. Also, when i signed in as a different payables responsibility, the same OU is till showing up irrespective of responsibility. I need help to get past this problem so that i can set up the payables as shown by the narrator. Thanks for your timely response. I am attaching a screen shot of all the issues i am having.

Attached are the files

Looks like in your instance Purchasing application is marked as license that is why Payables is asking you to provide Inventory Organization. This field becomes mandatory if Purchasing is marked as installed otherwise this field is optional. I hope you are not using Vision instance cause you will experience more issues down the line. Fresh installed is preferred for the best learning of how to setup from scratch.
Now you have two choices. You can quick create a dummy inventory organization and attach to this field. The steps are shown in the attached document.
You can go through the starting videos of Purchasing and create a proper inventory organization.
You can go with option 1 to keep things simple. That way will first learn Payables functionality before going into Purchasing.

Thanks for the feedback. However, I do not have the Vision Database Setup. I have the prod setup since that was what you advised we adopt to enable us learn better. However, when i checked under the Licensed product, i could see that every module showed licensed and installed even for this installation, which is not Vision Database. Is this a major problem, and if so, any way to rectify this please? Thanks.

In trying to set up the dummy Inventory so that I can progress on setting up the Payables Financial Options, I followed the note you set me. However, when I tried to save the entries for the sub menus, I was brought back to the first menu and required to enter a code for the Calendar. I have no clue what type of data will be accepted. When I even tried to use the drop down arrow in the form field, I got the following pop as shown on the screen below.

Kindly advise on why I am hitting all these issues which the lesson video is whown to be non mandatory.
Always appreciate your timely assistance.

"i could see that every module showed licensed and installed even for this installation, which is not Vision Database. Is this a major problem, and if so, any way to rectify this please? Thanks."

This is not a problem. You will now have deal with dependencies like the situation in hand. This will give you an opportunity to learn how to deal with such situations. I am not sure why all modules are marked as installed. Usually system asks you during the installation which modules you have the license for.
But any ways you dont have to undo anything.

The calendar field is mandatory in your system. Again this is due to licensed modules dependencies.
You can create one calendar and attach it there.
Here is the video on creating a calendar. It is a quick thing to create a calendar. http://handsonerp.com/oracle-financials-tutorials/78-14-oracle-order-management-om/6379-creating-workday-calendar.html
Alternatively you can you go through initial Order Management videos and create a proper inventory organization but this will digress you from learning purchasing module though.

Thanks for your timely response. However, after successfully setting up the dummy Inventory Organization following the successful set up of the calender, i am still not able to see the newly created inventory organization when i signed in as USI IC Payables to which i assigned the USI IC BG. Kindly see my comments in the attached document and advise on why i am still unable to see my OU, and the newly created Inventory organization that i purposely set up for this responsibility.

Thanks

Originally I thought the issue is simply the missing inventory organization but looks like you have some mix up going on operating units.

So lets keep the inventory organization on a side for now and lets resolve your OU issue.

I did not fully understand your issue (by looking at your work doc).

When you sign in as USI IC Payables you see the OU: USI Consulting OU. Looks like this is your problem. You want to see USI IC Payables.

Could you verify the values for the following profile options:
MO: Operating Unit (should be pointing to USI IC Payables).
MO: Security Profile should be empty.

I got your file from the other thread. Lets work on this problem first before opening other issues.

As I said MO Security Profile should be empty at all levels. Please do that.

Navigate back to you USI IC Payables responsibility. Tell me if you see USI IC PAyables operating unit now?

had the same issue

created a dummy HM Inventory but still not working ..Not able to set Inventory organization value.

Rajukvrk78, There are couple of issues being discussed in this thread. In order to avoid the mix-up lets open a new thread for your problem so that I could handle it directly one on one. Thanks.
