Keywords: Invalid Transactions; Invalid Entity Location; Post Transactions to Financials job
After XOGing transactions and running the Post Transactions to Financials job, these transactions can remain unprocessed in the Invalid Transactions page, with an error message of "Invalid Entity Location". All the preliminary checks that need to be performed is provided in this KB. If all these preconditions checkout, and if the transactions continue to get rejected, perform the following analysis.
Cause
Missing records in one of the financially related tables.
There are several checks that are performed by the Post Transactions to Financials job before it rejects transactions with this error message. The flow leading up to the rejection is as follows.
1. Determine WIP Entity using the following query
SELECT
NVL(RTRIM(SOURCEFIELDENTITY), 'PE')
FROM
NAMEOPTIONS
2. Obtain Entity. If the first query did not return any result, replace <provide_code> with PE.
SELECT
ENTITY
FROM
locations
WHERE
locationid in
(
SELECT
DECODE('<provide_code>', 'CE', CS.LOCATIONID, 'EE', E.LOCATIONID, P.LOCATIONID)
FROM
IMP_TRANSACTIONIMPORT T
, PAC_MNT_PROJECTS P
, CLNTSUPP CS
, PAC_MNT_RESOURCES E
WHERE
T.TRANSIMPORTKEY in
(
SELECT
TRANSIMPORTKEY
FROM
IMP_TRANSACTIONIMPORT
WHERE
IMPORTSTATUS = 'N'
)
AND P.PROJECT_CODE = UPPER(T.PROJECT_CODE)
AND CS.COMPANY_CODE (+) = P.COMPANY_CODE
AND E.RESOURCE_CODE (+) = T.RESOURCE_CODE
)
3. If no entity is returned above, the transaction gets rejected.
Environment
Version: 15.8.1
Resolution
1. Check for missing records in PAC_MNT_PROJECTS or PAC_MNT_RESOURCES tables. It can be verified by running the following queries.
SELECT
locationid
FROM
pac_mnt_projects pmp
WHERE
pmp.project_code IN (
SELECT
project_code
FROM
imp_transactionimport
WHERE
importstatus = 'N'
)
ORDER BY last_updated_date DESC
SELECT
locationid
FROM
pac_mnt_resources pmr
WHERE
pmr.resource_code IN (
SELECT
resource_code
FROM
imp_transactionimport
WHERE
importstatus = 'N'
)
ORDER BY last_updated_date DESC
2. If records are missing or incomplete in PAC_MNT_PROJECTS, then go to the corresponding Project record, make some change, update it and revert the change. Verify the record in the table again
3. The same approach as in Point 2 can be followed for Resources, if records are missing in PAC_MNT_RESOURCES table
4. Note that the change would have to be related to the financials. Such as setting a new location and reverting or changing the financial status etc.
