The AP_SUPPLIER_INT_REJECTIONS table in Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) 12.1.1 or 12.2.2 is a critical repository for tracking rejected supplier records during the supplier integration process. This table stores detailed information about supplier data that fails validation or encounters errors when being imported into the Oracle Payables module, typically through interfaces such as the Supplier Open Interface (AP_SUPPLIERS_INT). Understanding its structure, purpose, and usage is essential for troubleshooting integration issues and maintaining data integrity in Oracle EBS. ### **Purpose of AP_SUPPLIER_INT_REJECTIONS** The primary function of this table is to log rejected supplier records during the supplier import process. When data is submitted via the Supplier Open Interface (AP_SUPPLIERS_INT), Oracle validates the entries against predefined business rules. If a record fails validation (e.g., missing mandatory fields, duplicate vendor data, or invalid tax codes), it is moved to AP_SUPPLIER_INT_REJECTIONS instead of being processed into the AP_SUPPLIERS table. This ensures that erroneous data does not corrupt the master supplier tables while providing administrators with a mechanism to review and correct issues. ### **Key Columns and Structure** The table contains columns that capture both the rejected data and the reasons for rejection. Some of the critical columns include: 1. **INTERFACE_LINE_ID**: A unique identifier for the rejected record, often referencing the original AP_SUPPLIERS_INT entry. 2. **REJECTION_REASON**: A descriptive message explaining why the record was rejected (e.g., "Invalid Tax ID" or "Missing Supplier Name"). 3. **BATCH_ID**: Links the rejection to a specific import batch, aiding in bulk error resolution. 4. **CREATION_DATE**: Timestamp indicating when the rejection occurred. 5. **CREATED_BY**: The user or process responsible for the submission. 6. **ATTRIBUTE_CATEGORY/ATTRIBUTE1-15**: Flexfield columns for custom attributes, if configured. 7. **ORG_ID**: Identifies the operating unit associated with the rejected record (multi-org context). ### **Integration Workflow** 1. **Data Submission**: Supplier data is loaded into AP_SUPPLIERS_INT via APIs, spreadsheets, or third-party systems. 2. **Validation**: The "Import Suppliers" concurrent program validates the data against Oracle's rules. 3. **Rejection Handling**: Failed records are inserted into AP_SUPPLIER_INT_REJECTIONS with error details. 4. **Correction**: Administrators query this table, fix errors (e.g., via SQL updates or re-submission), and re-run the import. ### **Common Rejection Scenarios** - **Missing Mandatory Fields**: Supplier name, payment terms, or tax details. - **Duplicate Vendors**: Attempting to create a supplier with an existing TIN or name. - **Invalid Lookup Values**: Incorrect payment methods or currency codes. - **Tax or Legal Compliance Issues**: Mismatched tax registrations or inactive codes. ### **Troubleshooting and Resolution** To resolve rejections: 1. Query AP_SUPPLIER_INT_REJECTIONS using INTERFACE_LINE_ID or BATCH_ID. 2. Analyze the REJECTION_REASON and correct the source data in AP_SUPPLIERS_INT. 3. Purge or reprocess the batch after fixes. ### **Best Practices** - Regularly monitor this table to prevent backlog. - Use custom alerts or workflows to notify stakeholders of rejections. - Document common errors to streamline future data loads. In summary, AP_SUPPLIER_INT_REJECTIONS is a safeguard in Oracle EBS that ensures only valid supplier data enters the system while providing transparency into integration failures. Proper management of this table reduces operational delays and maintains clean vendor master data.
