How to Customize your dunning
letters for a language change?
While dealing with customizations in different languages
one of the frequently encountered problem is changing the headings of
the columns in the letter and changing the verbiage of
the letter. Oracle provides the facility to change the verbiage via
external files that resides in $AR_TOP/srw location on
the application.
The column name reside in the RDF file so one has to customize
the rdf file to achieve that change.
For instance if you want to have the text in German or
Dutch for the Dunning letter. The numeral part that is invoice amount etc
is same as roman but the verbiage of the letter and the column headings
need to be changed. One of the problems with dunning
letters is that it prints the columns on the first page
of the letter and then it does not on the subsequent pages and that can
be discombobulating. To overcome the aforesaid hurdle
do the following.
1. Change the ardlxx.txt files according to your needs
by changing the verbiage in a text editor.
2.Copy the ARDLP.rdf file and change its name.
3. Change the XXX_ARDLP.rdf file by opening it in the
reports designer for the following
a) In the before report trigger ascertain the country
that you are running for.
b) with that as a parameter introduce the boiler
plate texts and flip the format trigger( return true or false)
according to this parameters
4. Change the print condition to ALL on the boiler plate
properties to print heading on all the pages.
