Creating Customer Address in TCA - Step by Step

Creating Customer Address in TCA - Step by Step 

To create an address for Customer using APIs [so that you can invoice them], is a multi-step task as outlined in brief below.

Addresses in Oracle TCA are stored in table named HZ_LOCATIONS.

To create Locations, Oracle TCA provides an API named hz_location_v2pub.create_location
This API returns Location_id once a physical address has been created.

The location_id can then be used to create Party Site.
To create party site, use hz_party_site_v2pub.create_party_site.
When calling this API, we can pass "Party Site name" alongside the location_id to which this site is attached..
This API then returns Party_site_id.

This Party_site_id can further be passed to another API hz_party_site_v2pub.create_party_site_use, which is where we specify Site Usage like Correspondance/Bilable etc.


Next thing is to make a Customer Site, so that you can start billing to the customer.
Lets say you already know the customer Account Id[assuming it already exists ] and the Party Site id(as created above).
Now to create the Customer Site, use the API call as below.

declare
px_customer_acount_site_record hz_cust_account_site_v2pub.cust_acct_site_rec_type;
begin
         px_customer_acount_site_record.cust_account_id := 90000;--lets assume
         px_customer_acount_site_record.party_site_id := 4323342;--the party site created above
         px_customer_acount_site_record.LANGUAGE := 'US';
         px_customer_acount_site_record.created_by_module := 'XX_SIEBEL';
         px_customer_acount_site_record.orig_system_reference :=
                                                  v_sibel_custom_site_num || 'CALLCENTRE';
         hz_cust_account_site_v2pub.create_cust_acct_site (FND_API.G_TRUE,
                                                           px_customer_acount_site_record,
                                                           n_cust_acct_site_id, --returned
                                                           v_return_status, --To indicagte success
                                                           n_msg_count, --
                                                           v_msg_data);
end ;
    
The last step would be to create Customer Site Usage by calling API hz_cust_account_site_v2pub.create_cust_site_use
