INTRODUCTION TO PAYABLES

Oracle payables help in effective management of creditors. Effective management calls for: -

Correct booking of expenses (capital or revenue) under the right account head and in the right accounting period.

Scheduling the invoices for payment so as to avail maximum credit period.

Primary pre-requisites Invoices can be entered only for suppliers who have been defined as such

Suppliers this refers not only to those who deliver goods or render services but also includes with in its scope every other person eligible to receive payment through Oracle payables e.g. Employees / tax authorities

Payments can be made only against an invoice or invoices (Batch Payment) i.e. against recorded liability only.

Work areas in Oracle Payable

The two important work areas in Oracle Payable are: -

Invoice Workbench: We can enter the invoices of all types in this area.

Payment Workbench: We can make payment for approved and validated nvoices from this work area.

FINANCIALS OPTIONS

SETUP(OPTIONS(FINANCIALS

Use the Financials Options window to define the options and defaults that you use for your Oracle Financial Application(s). Oracle Payables, Oracle Purchasing, and Oracle Assets share values you enter in this window. Depending on your application, you may not be required to enter all fields.

Accounting Region

Future Periods. Payable displays the number of future periods you use in your set of books. Payables uses this value to limit the number of future periods you can maintain in the Control Payables Periods window. You can enter invoices in future periods.

GL Accounts

LiabilityPayables assign this account as the default Liability Account for all new suppliers you enter. You can override this value during supplier entry. If you use Accrual Basis accounting, then the Liability Account for an invoice determines the liability account(s) charged when you create accounting entries for invoices.

PrepaymentThe Prepayment account and description for a supplier site's invoices. The Financials option value defaults to new suppliers, and the supplier value defaults to new supplier sites.

Future Dated PaymentIf you use future dated payments, then enter a value for Future Dated Payment account. This value defaults to all new suppliers and new bank accounts. The supplier value defaults to all new supplier sites. The bank account value defaults to new payment documents.

When Payables accounts for future dated payments, it uses the Future Dated Payment Account from either the supplier site or the payment document, depending on the option you select in the Payment Accounting region of the Payables Options window.

If you relieve liability payment time, this should be an asset account. If you relieve liability at future dated payment maturity, then this should be a liability account.

Discount Taken If you choose to distribute your discounts to the system Discount Taken Account, Payables uses this account to record the discounts you take on payments. Use the Payables Options window to select your method for distributing discounts for your invoices.

PO Rate Variance Gain/LossPayable uses these accounts to record the exchange rate variance gains/losses for your inventory items. The variance is calculated between the invoice and either the purchase order or the receipt, depending on how you matched the invoice. These accounts are not used to record variances for your expense items. Any exchange rate variance for your expense items is recorded to the charge account of the purchase order. Payable calculates these amounts during Payables Invoice Validation.

Expenses Clearing

This account is required when you use the Company Pay payment option of Oracle Internet Expenses. Payables uses this as a temporary account to record credit card transaction activity. Payables debits this account when you create an invoice to pay a credit card issuer for credit card transactions. Payables credits this account with offsets to the original debit entries when you submit Expense Report Import for an employee expense report entered in Internet Expenses that has credit card transactions on it.

MiscellaneousUsed only when importing invoices submitted via iSupplier Portal or XML Gateway. If you enter a value here then the system uses this account for all miscellaneous charges on invoices your suppliers enter in iSupplier Portal. If you do not enter a value here then the system prorates miscellaneous charges across Item lines on iSupplier Portal invoices. The system also uses this value for any miscellaneous charges your suppliers send in XML invoices. If you do not enter a value here then import prorates miscellaneous charges across Item lines for XML invoices.

Retainage - Enter Account Code for Retainage

Supplier Purchasing Region

RFQ Only Site

Default value for all new suppliers. You cannot create purchase orders in Purchasing for a supplier site which is an RFQ Only Site.The options you define in this region, except for Inventory Organization, are used as default values for the Purchasing region of the Suppliers window. The supplier values default to new supplier sites for the supplier, which default to new purchasing documents for the supplier site

.

Note: If you use the Multiple Organizations Support feature, values you enter in this window will default to both the Supplier and Supplier Site.

You can override defaulted values during entry of the supplier, supplier site, and purchasing documents.

Ship-To /Bill-To Location

The name of the ship-to/bill-to location for the system default value. If the name you want does not appear in the list of values, use the Location window to enter a new location.

Inventory Organization

You need to choose an inventory organization if you use Purchasing. You can associate each of your Purchasing operating units with one inventory item master organization. When you associate your Purchasing operating unit with an inventory organization, items you define in this organization become available in Purchasing. You can only choose an inventory organization that uses the same set of books as your Purchasing operating unit. Do not change the Inventory Organization after you have already assigned one to Purchasing.

Ship ViaFreight carrier you use with suppliers. If the type of freight carrier you want does not appear in the list of values, use the Freight Carriers window to define a new shipping method. The value you enter here is the value in the Description field of the Freight Carriers window in Purchasing.

FOBIf the type of FOB you want is not in the list of values, use the Oracle Purchasing Lookups window to define a new FOB.

Freight Terms

The freight terms for a supplier identify whether you or your supplier pays for freight charges on goods you receive. You can define new freight terms in the Oracle Purchasing Lookups window.

Encumbrance

To use encumbrance accounting or budgetary control, you must install Payables, Purchasing, and General Ledger. Use this region to enable encumbrance accounting and to specify the default encumbrance types Payables assigns to your invoices, and Purchasing assigns to your requisitions and purchase orders.

If you enable encumbrance accounting or budgetary control, Purchasing creates encumbrances when you reserve funds for a requisition or purchase order. If you use the perpetual accrual method in Purchasing, Purchasing reverses purchase order encumbrances when you inspect, accept, and deliver the units. If you are using the periodic accrual method in Purchasing, Payables reverses the purchase order encumbrances when you create accounting entries for invoices.

Payables creates encumbrances when there is a variance between a matched invoice and the purchase order to which it is matched, and when the invoice encumbrance type is different from the Purchasing encumbrance type.

Oracle Financials provides two predefined encumbrance types that you can use to identify requisition, purchase order, and invoice encumbrances: Commitment and Obligation. You can define additional encumbrance types in Oracle General Ledger in the Encumbrance Types window.

Use Requisition EncumbranceEnable this option to encumber funds for requisitions. If you enable this option, Purchasing creates journal entries and transfers them to General Ledger to encumber funds for purchase requisitions.

Encumbrance TypeIf you enable Use Requisition Encumbrance, you must select an encumbrance type by which you can identify your requisition encumbrance journal entries. Purchasing assigns this encumbrance type to the encumbrance journal entries it creates for purchase requisitions.

Reserve at CompletionIf you enable Use Requisition Encumbrance, indicate whether you want requisition preparers to have the option to reserve funds. If you do not enable this option, only requisition approvers will have the option to reserve funds.

Use PO EncumbranceEnable this option to encumber funds for purchase orders, purchase order and receipt matched invoices, and basic invoices (not matched). If you enable this option, Purchasing encumbers funds for purchase orders and Payables encumbers funds for variances during Payables Invoice Validation for purchase order and receipt matched invoices. If you enable this option and enter a non-purchase order matched invoice, Payables will encumber funds for it during Payables Invoice Validation. All Payables encumbrances are reversed when you create accounting entries. If you enable Use Requisition Encumbrance, you must also enable this option.

PO Encumbrance TypeIf you enable Use Purchase Order Encumbrance, select a purchase order encumbrance type by which you can identify your purchase order encumbrance journal entries. Purchasing assigns this encumbrance type to the encumbrance journal entries it creates for purchase requisitions and purchase orders.

Invoice Encumbrance TypeIf you use purchase order encumbrance, select an invoice encumbrance type by which you can identify your invoice encumbrance journal entries. Payables assigns this encumbrance type to the encumbrance journal entries that it creates. We recommend that you use an encumbrance type different from the Purchasing encumbrance type so you can identify invoice encumbrances.

Human Resources

Use this region to enter the options and defaults for entering employee information in the Enter Person windowBusiness GroupEnter the name of the business group that you want to associate with Purchasing. If you use Purchasing jointly with Oracle Human Resources, you must reference the business group that you define in Oracle Human Resources. If you use Purchasing without Human Resources, you can use the default value. The default for this field is the Human Resources default of Setup Business Group.

The business group determines which employees you can use in Purchasing. In Purchasing, you can see only the employees in this business group.

Expense Reimbursement AddressSelect the default address you want to use on payments for employee expense reports: Home or Office. The system uses this default for each new employee you enter. You can override this default during employee entry or expense report entry.

Use Approval HierarchiesEnable this option to use positions and position hierarchies to determine approval paths for your documents within Purchasing. Disable this option of you want approval paths based on the supervisor structure.

Employee Numbering MethodYou can enter your employee numbers manually or let the system generate sequential employee numbers. The system prevents you from entering a value in this field if you install Oracle Human Resources or Oracle Payroll. You can change the numbering method at any time.

Automatic. The system automatically assigns a unique sequential number to each employee when you enter a new employee.

Manual. You enter the employee number when you enter an employee.

Use National Identifier Number. The system automatically enters the employee's National Identifier Number as the employee number. For example, a Social Security number for a United States employee.

AttentionBe careful if you switch from manual to automatic entry. The employee number must be unique. When you use manual entry, you can assign any number and in any order. If you switch to automatic after having entered employee numbers manually, the system may try to assign a number that you already assigned. If you switch from manual to automatic entry, make sure the next available number for automatic entry is larger than the largest number you have already recorded.

Next Automatic NumberIf you select the Automatic Employee Numbering method, enter the starting value you want the system to use for generating unique sequential employee numbers. After you enter a number and save your changes, the system displays the number that it will assign to the next new employee you enter.

Payable System Setup

Navigation: Setup > Options > Payable System Setup

Supplier Number EntryYou can enter your supplier numbers manually or let Payables automatically generate sequential supplier numbers for you. You can change the number entry method at any time.

Automatic. The system automatically assigns a unique sequential number to each supplier when you enter a new supplier.

Manual. You enter the supplier number when you enter a supplier.

Attention: Be careful if you switch from manual to automatic entry. Each supplier number must be unique. When you use manual entry, you can assign any number and in any order. If you switch to automatic after entering supplier numbers manually, the system may try to assign a number that you already assigned. If you switch from manual to automatic entry, make sure the next available number for automatic entry is larger than the largest number you have already recorded.

Supplier Number Type

Type of supplier number you want Payables to use for supplier number entry.

Alphanumeric. Numbers, characters, or a combination.

Numeric. Numbers only.

After you begin entering suppliers, you can change your Number Type from numeric to alphanumeric at any time; however, you can change your Number Type from alphanumeric to numeric only if all your current supplier numbers are numeric.

Next Automatic NumberIf you select the Automatic Supplier Number Entry method, enter the starting value you want the system to use for generating unique sequential supplier numbers. After you enter a number and save your changes, the system displays the number that it will assign to the next new supplier you enter.

Control

The options you define in this region are used to control supplier entry and purchase order matching.

Hold Unmatched InvoicesIf you enable this option for a supplier site, Payables applies a Matching Required hold to an invoice if it has Item type distributions that are not matched to either a purchase order or receipt. Payables applies the hold during Payables Invoice Validation. You cannot pay the invoice until you release the hold. You can release this hold by matching the invoice to either a purchase order or receipt, and resubmitting Payables Invoice Validation, or you can manually release the hold in the Holds window of the Invoice Workbench. Payables will not apply a hold if the sum of the invoice distributions by accounting code combination is zero.

Invoice Match Option

Indicate how you want to match most invoices. Defaulting is in the following order but can be overridden at any level: Financials options > supplier > supplier site > purchase order shipment. The value at the purchase order shipment controls to which purchasing document type you can match an invoice.

Purchase Order. Match invoices to purchase orders.

Receipts. Match invoices to purchase order receipts.

Payment

Payment TermsPayables uses payment terms to automatically calculate due dates, discount dates, and discount amounts for each invoice you enter. If the terms you want to use are not on the list of values, you can define additional terms in the Payment Terms window.

Always Take DiscountEnable this option to have Payables always take an available discount for a supplier, regardless of when you pay the invoice.

Pay Group

The Pay Group you want to assign to any new suppliers you enter. You can choose any Pay Group you have defined in the Oracle Purchasing Lookups window.

Invoice Currency

The currency that you use as a default for each new supplier you enter.

Terms Date BasisThe date that Payables uses as the payment terms start date when Payables calculates the due and discount date for invoice scheduled payments System. Current date of your Payables system. Goods Received. The date you receive goods for invoices you match to purchase orders.

Invoice. Invoice date.

Invoice Received. Date you receive an invoice.

Pay Date BasisThe Pay Date Basis default for each new supplier you enter. The Pay Date Basis for a supplier defaults to the new supplier sites you enter for the supplier. You can override the default for each supplier and supplier site.

Discount. Payables selects invoices for payment based on the scheduled payment discount date.

Due. Payables selects invoices for payment based on the scheduled payment due date, regardless of any available discounts.

Payable Option

Navigation: Setup > Options > Payable Option

Use this window to set control options and defaults used throughout Payables. You can set defaults in this window that will simplify supplier entry, invoice entry, and automatic payment processing. Although you need to define these options and defaults only once, you can update most of them at any time to change controls and defaults for future transactions.

Accounting Methods

Automatic Offset Method

Enable Automatic Offsets by selecting Balancing or Account as your Offset Method if you want Payables to automatically create balancing accounting entries for your invoice and payment transactions.

Attention: Carefully consider this option before setting it. Changing your automatic offset setting after creating accounting entries can result in slower Payables Accounting Process performance. Also, under certain circumstances, changing this setting can result in accounting irregularities.

None. Do not use Automatic Offsets. For your invoice transactions, Payables creates one liability accounting entry, and for your payment transactions, Payables creates one cash type accounting entry.

Balancing. Payables uses the supplier site's default liability account and overwrites the balancing segment (usually the company code) with the balancing segment from the expense distribution GL Account.

Account. When creating the offsetting liability account, Payables uses the expense GL Account from the invoice distribution and overwrites the account segment with the default liability account from the supplier site.

Prevent Prepayment Application Across Balancing Segments. If you use Automatic Offsets, you can enable this option to prevent the application of a prepayment amount to an invoice or expense report amount that is charged to a different balancing segment.

Payment Accounting

Account For Payment: Choose when you want to create payment accounting entries. You can select one or both options.

Payables creates the following accounting entries, depending on how the Account for Payment option is set. This accounting assumes you use accrual basis accounting. You specify the GL accounts when you define the payment document. Any accounting entries for gain and loss are controlled by the Account for Gain/Loss Payables option, so they are not included here.

Attention: Carefully consider these settings at implementation time. After you set them and save this record, the only change you can make is to also account for the payment when the payment clears.

Both (When Payment is Issued, and When Payment Clears): Payables accounts for each payment you issue twice--once as an unreconciled payment and once again as a cleared payment. If you select both options you have the same functionality as the Allow Reconciliation Accounting option provided in previous releases.

Payables creates the following accounting entries after payment issue:

unreconciled payment: debit the AP Liability account and credit the Cash Clearing account

For future dated payments, debit the AP Liability account and credit the Future Dated Payment Account. Then, at payment maturity, debit the Future Dated payment Account and credit the Cash Clearing account.

Payables then creates the following accounting entries after payment reconciliation or clearing in Cash Management:

reconciled payment: debit the Cash Clearing account and credit the Cash account

bank charges: debit the Bank Charges account and credit the Cash account

bank errors: account in Cash account and Bank Errors account. Debits and credits depend whether the bank error was a positive or negative amount

When Payment is Issued: Payables accounts for each payment once, after payment issue. After you issue the payment, Payables creates the following accounting entries.

unreconciled payment: debit the AP Liability account and credit the Cash account.

For future dated payments, debit the AP Liability account and credit the Future Dated Payment Account. Then, at payment maturity, debit the Future Dated payment Account and credit the Cash account.

Although you can reconcile the payment in Cash Management, Payables does not create accounting entries for payment reconciliation, bank charges, or bank errors, or gain and loss at reconciliation.

When Payment Clears. If you select only this option, Payables accounts for each payment once, after clearing. After you clear the payment in Oracle Cash Management, Payables creates the following accounting entries.

reconciled payment: debit the AP Liability account and credit the Cash (asset) account.

bank charges: debit the Bank Charges account and credit the Cash account.

bank errors: account in Cash account and Bank Errors account. Debits and credits depend whether the bank error was a positive or negative amount.

Account For Gain/Loss

Select the time at which you will record currency gains or losses for foreign currency payments. If you selected Account For Payment When Payment Clears above, then the system enables the When Payment Clears option here and you cannot update it.

Attention: Carefully consider these settings at implementation time. After you set them and save this record, the only change you can make is to also account for the gain/loss when the payment clears.

The combination of Payables options you select and your accounting method control which gain and loss accounting entries Payables creates. The following table shows between which transactions Payables calculates gains and losses, depending on your system setup:

Currency

Use Multiple Currencies. Enable this option if you want to enter and pay invoices in a currency different from your functional currency. Payables also allows you to define a multiple currency payment format and bank account if you enable this option.

If you update this Payables option from enabled to disabled, Payables checks and warns you if you have any multiple currency bank accounts that are using multiple currency payment formats. You must inactivate the payment documents that use multiple currency payment formats and change the Multiple Currency field value on multiple currency bank accounts to disabled before you can change this Payables option from enabled to disabled.

Require Exchange Rate Entry. Enable this option to require entry of an exchange rate whenever you enter an invoice or a payment in a currency other than your functional currency or an associated fixed rate currency. If you maintain daily rates in the Daily Rates window, Payables defaults the rate automatically, based on the date and the Rate type you enter. If the exchange rate type is User, then Payables always requires an exchange rate, either entered by the user or calculated by the system.

You cannot create accounting entries for or pay foreign currency invoices without exchange rates. After you have entered invoices or created payments, you can enter exchange rates, either manually, or by using the AutoRate program.

When you create future dated payments, you are required to enter the Maturity Rate, Maturity Rate Type, and Maturity Rate Date.

Calculate User Exchange Rate. If you already know the functional currency amounts of any foreign currency invoices you are entering, then you can enable this option so Payables can calculate and enter effective invoice exchange rates for those invoices.

This functionality applies to invoices you enter in the Invoices window and invoices you import from the Payables Open Interface. If this option is enabled, then when you enter a foreign currency invoice, if you select the exchange rate type of User and you provide the functional currency amount, then Payables calculates and enters the exchange rate.

Payables allows you to enter a value for functional currency amount in the Invoices window only if this option is enabled.

If this option is enabled then when you enter a foreign currency invoice, you still have the option of entering a foreign currency invoice amount and exchange rate so Payables will calculate and enter the functional currency amount.

Exchange Rate Type. Payables uses this as the default exchange rate type when you enter invoices or create payments.

Realized Gain/Loss. Payables uses these accounts as the default realized gain and loss accounts for payments from each of your bank accounts. If the exchange rate changes between invoice entry and payment, Payables automatically calculates the realized gain or loss and records it in this account. Payables records gains and losses only if you use accrual basis accounting. The Account for Gain/Loss Payables option controls when Payables accounts for gains and losses.

Rounding. Payables uses this account for currency rounding at the following times:

You use multiple currencies and the payment currency does not round within the payment currency precision. For example, if a payment rounds to 100.001 GBP, the payment will be for 100.00 GBP, and the rounding error of .001 will be recorded in this account.

The functional currency amounts of payments do not equal the amount recorded as the liability. The system charges the remaining amount to the rounding account to fully relieve liability. This happens when you make the final payment of an invoice that is already partially paid.

You have enabled automatic offsets and the cash account is pooled, and you have rounding errors. The system charges the remaining amount to the rounding account to fully relieve the cash clearing account. This happens when you make the final payment of an invoice that is already partially paid.

Invoice

Overview

Vendor submits his invoices to the user department (finance) for the supply of goods and services. Most of the invoices will relate to a purchase order raised by the user department (purchase) and in few cases there may be invoices without purchase orders also.

Normally user will be entering the invoices and it will be verified and validated for its accuracy and correctness of accounting by comparing the Purchase order by another user.

Once the invoice is validated by the respective user it needs to be approved for payment by the respective users. All the validated invoices would be eligible for payments.

Terms Date (Required)the terms date defaults based on system setups. It could be changed if required.

All other relevant fields default.

Invoice Lines

The invoice lines define the details of the goods and services as well as the tax, freight, and miscellaneous charges invoiced by the supplier. There can be multiple invoice lines fr each invoice header. The Lines tab of the Invoice Workbench captures all of the details for the invoice line necessary for accounting, as well as for cross-product integration with other Oracle E-Business Suite applications, such as Assets, Grants Accounting, Inventory, Projects, Purchasing, Property Manager, and Receivables.

For each invoice, you can manually enter invoice lines, or you can automatically generate lines by matching the invoice to a purchase order shipment, pay item, or receipt.

Each invoice line can have multiple distributions tied to each line. Each distribution serves as the source for an accounting entry generated from the invoice.

Click on the Line Tab:

Number: Enter the number

GL Date: Specify the GL date to which date you want to post this journal entry to GL.

Amount: Specify the amount of distribution

Account:Select the account code combination from the LOV

Note: You can enter Charge account either at Account field or at Distribution Set field.

(You can add amount for various account in the distribution line)

Save you Work

Entering Distributions in the Invoice Workbench

The distributions you enter for an invoice allocate the total invoice amount to various expense or asset accounts. For example, you can distribute expenses from one office supply invoice to expense accounts for several departments. Payables use distributions to create accounting entries for invoices.

You can create distributions:

Automatically using a Distribution Set. Automatically by matching an invoice to a purchase order or receipt.

Manually in the Distributions window.

Manually by allocating charges.

In general, Tax distributions are automatically created by E-Business Tax. However, if your tax setup permits, you can enter tax distributions manually.

4. To match the invoice line to a shipment or distribution, complete the necessary fields.

To match to:

PO Shipment. Enter the PO Line Number and PO Shipment Number. If you are matching to a purchase order line with multiple shipments, you must enter a value here. If you don't know the shipment number, you can select it from a list of values. The list of values defaults based on the PO Number specified.

Note: If you match to a purchase order with only one line and only one shipment, then only the purchase order number is required. Also, if you enter a PO Line information, and that PO Line has only one shipment, then you are not required to enter shipment information.

PO Distribution: To match to a purchase order distribution, enter the PO Line Number, PO Shipment Number, and PO Distribution Number. If you want the GL Account populated with an Overlay GL Account, then you must specify the purchase order distribution.

6. Save your work.

7. Click Distribute to view the distributions that defaulted in from the matched shipments and distributions.

Matching to Purchase Orders Using Quick Match1. In the Invoice Workbench, enter the invoice header information.

2. Click Quick Match. Payables automatically create invoice lines based on the open, unbilled shipments for the supplier.

3. Select the Lines tab to see the information that defaulted from the Quick Match.

Accept the defaulted information or update the following fields: Qty Invoiced, Unit Price, and Match Amount. Verify that the Invoice Amount and Gross Total for the lines match or the invoice will not pass validation.

4. Click Discard to discard any lines that you do not want to include on the invoice.

5. Click Distributions to view the distributions that were defaulted in from the purchase order for each line.Invoice Entry Receipt Matching

The process for matching to receipts is the same as matching to purchase orders;

However, to match to receipt, ensure the following prerequisites are complete:

Invoice Match Option for the purchase order shipment is set to Receipt.

A purchase order for the same supplier and currency as the invoice you are entering is approved and open, and has at least one receipt entered against it.

If the Invoice Match option for the supplier site is set to receipt then the match button will default to Receipt and you can use the Match to Receipt window to match receipts to invoices.

You can also match to purchase orders in the Lines tab of the Invoice Workbench. Enter a PO Number and a Receipt number to match to a receipt line. Payable automatically creates distributions for the matched to receipt lines.

Credit Memo and Debit Memo

Overview

Credit Memo refers to the negative invoice. If for some reason we need to reduce the invoice amount of the vendor, we will raise the credit memo. For example if the agreed discount or rate has not been considered in the invoice, we may at our discretion reduce the equivalent amount using the credit memo.

Debit Memo is also similar to the credit memo except that it will be based on the credit memo given by the supplier. Here vendor submits his credit memo for which we are recording the debit in our books.

Normally user will be entering the credit memo or debit memo and it will be verified and validated for its accuracy and correctness of accounting by comparing the Purchase order or suppliers credit memo by another user.

Once the credit memo or debit memo is validated it would be eligible for making adjustments against the invoices.

Prepayment Invoices

Overview

A prepayment is a type of invoice that you enter to make an advance to a supplier or employee. Later, the prepayment can be applied against the invoice that the supplier sends you. When a prepayment is applied, Payables creates a negative amount Prepayment type distribution on the invoice and also reduces the amount available on the prepayment. This section deals with the process of creating, applying and adjusting advances.

Prepayment Invoice - Entry

Choose prepayment from the invoice type.

Enter the supplier and invoice information just as for any other type of invoice.

Click on Line and enter the amount. The account defaults from the supplier site.

Save your work. On validation of the prepayment, the status changes to Unpaid.

Prepayment Invoice Payment

Payment needs to be made similar to any other invoice. However, a prepayment has to be fully paid and a partial payment is not possible. You must fully pay a prepayment invoice before you can apply the prepayment to the invoice. Payment process is covered separately.

Applying Pre-payment Invoice

Apply a prepayment to an invoice to offset the amount paid on the invoice. For application, the prepayment should be of type Temporary, fully paid, approved, not cancelled, should have no holds and should not have been fully applied.

Once the payment is made the Invoice status would become Available.

Navigation: Invoices > Entry > InvoicesNormally the actual invoice would be entered on a later date than the prepayment Invoice. Whenever there is a prepayment exists and if the user is entering a regular invoice, the system will give an alert as follows;

To cancel an unapplied prepayment:

Query the prepayment in the Invoice Workbench.

Choose the Actions Button and select Cancel Invoices.

Choose OK to save your work. Then the Invoice status would become cancelled.

Applying and Releasing Holds

Applying Holds

Holds that are manually applied in Payables prevent payment and creation of accounting entries for General Ledger. You can release holds that you apply and manually release certain holds that Payables applies during validation. Holds are widely used to prevent payments to disputed suppliers.

Payables automatically apply certain holds to exception invoices during validation. You cannot manually release these system holds. For example, if the sum of an invoices distribution amounts does not equal the Invoice amount, Payables will apply a Distribution Variance hold to the invoice during Approval. So user has to rectify the reason for the hold.

Find the invoice you want to hold by querying the record.

Select the invoice and choose the Holds button to navigate to the Invoice holds window. Apply a hold by selecting from the LOV.

The following screen will be displayed.

Releasing Holds

Payment Manager

To Make Batch Payment of the Invoices, Payment Manager Screen is used, you can specify the criteria on which the invoices are to be selected and payment is made

Navigation: Payments > Entry > Payments ManagerPayment Process Requests

Once the payment process request is submitted to Oracle Payments, the Build Payments program validates the documents payable, groups the documents payable into payments according to document attributes and payment process profile grouping rules, and then validates the payments. All documents payable within a particular payment have the same payment process profile, payment method, and payment format.

Payment Process ProfilesA payment process profile is a payment attribute assigned to documents payable, which specifies handling of the documents payable, payments, and payment instructions by Oracle Payments. Payment process profiles include several types of information, including specifications for payment instruction formatting and transmission.

The selection of valid payment process profiles is determined by the payment process profile's usage rules, which are created in Oracle Payments setup. Usage rules for payment process profiles can be based on payment method, payment currency, first party organization, or internal bank account.

Payments are built from documents payable that have the same payment process profile, among other attributes. Payment instructions are built from payments that have the same payment process profile, among other attributes.

When you create a payment process profile, you must specify whether the profile governs payment processing for printed or electronic payments. Accordingly, the payment process profile allows you to assign appropriate payment document printing values or payment system communication configurations.

Overview

An invoice in Payables can be entered only for persons or companies who have already been defined as suppliers. Payables facilitate creation and management f supplier information. Apart from Payables, other modules, namely purchasing and fixed assets also share the supplier information.

In addition to supplier name and address variety of additional information about them can be maintained in many optional fields.

In Payables payments can be made only to suppliers. It means that employees to whom business related expenses have to be reimbursed also have to be defined as suppliers. Thus the tem supplier refers not only to those who supply goods and services but to everyone to whom you want to make payment.

Setup Bank Account Maintenance Security and Account Access Security

Bank Account Maintenance Security

Bank Account Maintenance Security, which secures the creation and update of bank accounts, grants user the access to one or more legal entities. Users can create and update the bank accounts whose owner legal entity is registered in the Bank Account Maintenance Security.

Users can create Bank accounts for which the list of legal entities in Bank Account Owner LOV will be restricted by this security. Users can query and update only those bank accounts whose owner is registered in this security.

The security setup is done in a wizard called Bank Account Security Management. For more detail, see Setup wizard: Bank Account Security Management section below.

Bank Account Access security rule is composed of 2 parts:

The combination of Bank Account Access Setup:

1. Bank Account Access Setup => Bank Account Access setup defines organizations that can use existing bank account

2. Cash Management Security Profiles => Cash Management Security Profiles provide a list of organizations where an user has access to.

The user can access the list of bank accounts based on the combination of two components above.

For example:Bank account number is 8888 and has account access setup with operating unit 001. If user OPERATIONS has access to operating unit 001 in the profile then user is allowed to view and use bank account 8888. Please note, Bank Statement Reconciliation, Cash Forecasting, Cash Positioning, and Cash flow features use this security to restrict the bank account access.

Bank Account Access setup:

Navigation : Setup/Banks/Bank Account-> Manage Bank Accounts > Tab Account Access Bank Account Access setup is a part of bank account definition and defines the bank accounts use and organization that has access for each use. One or more operating units can be assigned to Payables or Receivables use but only one legal entities can be assigned for Treasury use. Finally you can assign one or more business groups for Payroll use.

Checkboxes for Payables, Receivables and Payroll uses will be always available. However, checkbox for Treasury use will be displayed only if the bank branch is linked to a Treasury company in Oracle Treasury application.

Organization access is defined in Bank Account Access page. For Payables or Receivables use, organization LOV will list operating units based on MOAC security. For Treasury use, the organization LOV will list Legal Entities restricted by Treasury company security. For Payroll use, the LOV will display all available business groups in HR system.

Cash Management Security Profile:

Cash Management Security Profiles provides the list of organizations (OU/LE/BG) that a given user has access to based on following four different securities: Bank Account Use security, Treasury security, MOAC security and Payroll security.

Bank Account Use security grants user the access to one or more legal entities. User can view and use only the bank accounts whose owner legal entity is registered in this security. User doesnt need to setup this security if any of the other three securities below provides access to the wanted bank accounts.

The bank Account Use security is implemented using UMX data security model. A setup wizard called Bank Account Security Management will be provided to facilitate the user setup procedure. For more detail, see Setup wizard: Bank Account Security Management. Using Bank Account Security Management wizard, administrator can grant a role legal entity accesses to define following three securities.

Bank Account Maintenance security control bank account creation and update Bank Account Use security control bank account access Bank Account Fund Transfers security control bank account transfers

User Procedure to launch the wizard:

The wizard will be launched from Create/Update Role page under User Management responsibility. The current UI for the Create/Update Role will include a button to launch Security Wizards. Clicking the button would launch a page that lists security wizards available to the logged in user. User could launch the Bank Account Security Management wizard by clicking against it name and then after the wizard is complete, will return to the Create/Update role UI.
