Home Interiors & Gifts, Inc. - September 2003 to November 2003 (One World

Xe)

Home Interiors is a retail client on OneWorld Xe using Oracle as the

database. The client's auto-cash processed ran 2 times which corrupted the

Accounts Receivable database. The error was undetected for 2 days and the

problems proliferated. Home Interior's has thousands of small dollar

transactions per lockbox, which is posted nightly through auto-cash

process. This amounted to a potential of up to 12,000 affected clients.

Peoplesoft determined that there was no good way to resolve the issue and

the only suggestion was using SQL. This was not possible due to the time

delay and the amount of ongoing transactions. I was brought in to evaluate

the problem and to assist in resolving. Through the creation of UBE's,

working hand-on with a developer, the data cleanup was successfully

completed.
