Resolving records stuck in the Receiving

Transactions Interface
Reprocessing Errored Rows
------------------------On occassion it may be necessary to reprocess an errored or stuck record in the interface. The
following steps can be used to reprocess a stuck record.
Navigate to the Transaction Status Summary screen in the application from either Receiving or
Inventory responsibility (Nav > Receiving > Transaction Status Summary). Use the Find form to
query up the transaction in question and then set focus to the transaction.
You then select the Delete function from the menu by pressing on the red x icon button to delete the
record.
You can then reattempt to receive the record. If it fails again you must engage Oracle Support
Services for further disposition.
Technical Details:
----------------When a row has been succesfully processed it will be deleted from the table. When a row has been
processed for an inventory item, the rcv_transactions stable will be updated and a row written to the
mtl_transactions_interface table, waiting to be picked up by the Inventory Transaction Processor.
Once this record has been processed succesfully, the on hand quantity level will be updated.
Receiving statuses and errors can subsequently be viewed in the Receiving Transaction Status
Summary form in Purchasing / Inventory. On occassion the records cannot be viewed in this form and
they have to be queried using sqlplus.
To query stuck rows, run the following sql statement which will yield errored records for the past 7
days (if you want to change the time
period just change the sysdate - 7 criteria to a larger duration for example for the past 30 days it
would be: "and transaction_date >= sysdate - 30")
Here is the query:
SQL> select interface_transaction_id, processing_status_code, processing_mode_code,
transaction_status_code, transaction_type,
transaction_date
from rcv_transactions_interface
where (processing_status_code = 'ERROR' or transaction_status_code = 'ERROR') and
transaction_date >= sysdate - 7;
The processing_mode_code determines whether the record was received in Online, Immediate or
Batch mode. This is the column that would
need to be updated to 'BATCH' to reprocess an online record.
Troubleshooting
---------------If the receipt has gone through okay but the stock levels have not been updated then it is worth
checking if the inventory transaction manager is running and if there are any records pending or in
error in the inventory transactions interface. These can be queried via the Inventory Transactions
Interface Inquiry screen.
If the Purchase Order shows that the shipment has been received and delivered and inventory levels
show the stock levels updated to reflect the delivery, then the records can be deleted using the
Transaction Status Summary form (Ref Note 303544.1 - How To Remove Pending and Error
Transactions from the Transaction Status Summary) by selecting the record and then picking the
Delete red X icon on the toolbar in the menu. In this case there is no need to reprocess or re-enter
these transactions.
Note: If a transaction is accessible via the Transaction Status Summary form and is in error it can be
deleted.
Generic script to delete RTI records which are not appearing in Transaction Status Summary form for
deletion. Please ensure the scripts are ran on TEST instance first and tested for data
correctness thoroughly. After the scripts are ran, please check the data and only the correct records

are updated before committing. If all goes well, the script can be promoted to the PRODUCTION
instance.
