Convert Number to word (or text)

In many cases we need to put number in words, special when it comes to amount on Invoice or Cheque/Check. If you want to convert a number in word or in text using Oracle SQL, then you use below statment

select TO_CHAR(TO_DATE( 158 , 'J' ) , 'JSP' ) from dual;


Output:
ONE HUNDRED FIFTY-EIGHT

Procedure is not getting complied

If the package or procedure is not getting complied, then one of the reasons why the package XX_YY_ZZ is not getting compiled is there are few session locks which got applied. We can find them using below query, then release them and try compiling the package…

Query ran:

SELECT *

FROM v$session

WHERE SID IN (SELECT UNIQUE SID

FROM v$access

WHERE OBJECT='&OBJECT_NAME');

OR you may use below query and output of below query will give ready made statements to kill these locks and you can directly use it…

SELECT 'alter system kill session '''||SID||','||serial#||''';'

FROM v$session

WHERE SID IN (SELECT UNIQUE SID

FROM v$access

WHERE OBJECT='&OBJECT_NAME');

Example:

alter system kill session '1120,27788';

alter system kill session '1187,32246';

alter system kill session '1355,64';

alter system kill session '1060,11503';

alter system kill session '1314,21';

We already used this solution in one of the project. After running above statements, we could able to complete the package within few seconds.

Requisition Import Problem for OSP / WIP

Issue: After the WIP move to the Outside processing operation, the requisition import is not picking up the record to create the requisition. Even after running work-flow background engine and running Requisition Import program for WIP, Oracle is not picking up records eligible.

Cause: The issue for requisition import not picking up the record was due to the setup 'Requisition Creation Time' on Outside processing tab on WIP Parameters. It was set to 'Manual'.

Solution: Change it to 'At Operation' and it will start working.
