 I am covering the Inventory COGS Account Generator

Item Type = INVFLXWF Display Name = Inventory Cost of Goods Sold Account Run by the concurrent program Create Intercompany AP Invoices, short name INCIAP

This is not the OM COGS Account Generator

Item Type = OECOGS Display Name = OM : Generate Cost of Goods Sold Account Run by the concurrent program Interface Trip Stop, short name WSHINTERFACE

Basic Summary of the Problem

The Inventory COGS Account Generator does not pre-populate most of the item attributes in the workflow.

How to Debug This Error

Change the following profile options:
Account Generator:Purge Runtime Data = No This keeps the Account Generator data around in the OraApps tables after a process has run.

Optionally
Account Generator:Run in Debug Mode = Yes This generates Account Generator messages which usually dump to the log file of the program running it. This can by itself cause problems at times so dont initially turn this on.
