Updating Oracle Internet Expenses Messages

For example, you might change the instructions in a window to use terminology that is unique within your company or modify the content of an error message to provide additional information. All Internet Expenses messages use either the prefix AP_WEB or OIE
in the message name.

Changing the Description Message for Credit Card Transactions
If you use credit card programs and set the Payment Due From field in the Card Programs window to Both or Company, invoices will be created in Payables that are due to the credit card issuer. For both remittance and reconciliation purposes, the invoices utilize this message to provide employee’s name and card number.
If you use both pay, the invoice header’s description field displays the content of this message. If you use company pay, the message information is displayed in the description field of the invoice distribution records.
By default the applicable description displays the credit card number and card holder name, followed by the expense report purpose. You can change the order of the description, or you can remove either the credit card number and card holder or the expense report purpose.
1. Log into Oracle Applications using the Application Developer responsibility.
2. Navigate to the Messages window.
Note: If the total number of characters for credit card number, card holder, and description exceeds 240, Internet Expenses truncates the message.
3. Query the message OIE_INVOICE_DESC.
EMP_CARD_NUM represents the credit card number and card holder.
EXP_RPT_PURPOSE represents the expense report purpose.
EMP_FULL_NAME represents the card holder’s full name.
4. The default message is EMP_CARD_NUM - EXP_RPT_PURPOSE.You can choose which descriptions to show in the message and which order they are shown in. For example: Delete EMP_CARD_NUM to remove the credit card number and card holder from the message.
5. Save your work.
