Question: I have been asked to customize Invoice Print program which happens to be an Oracle Report. What will be the steps, that I must follow.

Answer : Follow the steps below.

1. You will be told the name of the existing report that must be customized. Note down the exact name and query that name in Concurrent Program screen.
Click on “Copy Program button” selecting checkbox option “Copy Parameters”. This will help you copy the current program definition to custom version of the program. Also note down the name of the executable as it appears in concurrent program definition screen.

2. In same responsibility i.e. Application Developer, navigate to screen concurrent executable and query on the field labeled "Executable Short Name".
Note down the application within which it is registered. If the application is Oracle Receivables, then you must go to the database server and get hold the file named RAXINV.rdf in $AR_TOP/reports/US.

3. Copy that file to your custom AR Top directory. Basically that is the directory where custom reports for AR will be deployed..
cd $XXAR_TOP/reports/us
cp $AR_TOP/reports/us/RAXINV.rdf $XXAR_TOP/reports/us
