<div style="text-align: justify;">
Existing Oracle eBS customers who are on R12 can leverage the features of Fusion General Ledger and extensive reporting capabilities of Oracle Fusion without re-implementing or upgrading the entire sub-ledger system to Fusion ecosystem through a co-existence configuration setup using Fusion Accounting Hub (FAH).<br />Oracle Fusion Accounting Hub, comes embedded with Essbase multidimensional cube that can be leveraged to derive business benefits through BI analytics, Smartview reporting, Financial Studio reporting, Account Monitor and Account Inspector and a very intuitive Allocation Manager for creating Allocation rules.<br />Using GoldenGate, a seamless integration between Oracle eBS and FAH has been provided. GL actual balances data can be transferred to FAH and drill-down back to eBS system is also possible.<br />The SaaS model of FAH deployment would provide faster time to deployment and lower TCO for customers as well while the existing eBS system can be an on-premise installation.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Fusion security architecture in Fusion is quite different from EBS and relates to real world scenarios better. Fusion security is externalized from Applications and moved to standardized Fusion Middleware, OPSS and LDAP. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Management of enterprise users and roles in fusion applications is done via Oracle Identity Manager (OIM). OIM manages this data in a database and keeps it in sync with the LDAP directory.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Management of enterprise users and roles in fusion applications is done via Oracle Identity Manager (OIM). OIM manages this data in a database and keeps it in sync with the LDAP directory. OAM is authentication, authorization, and auditing solution that provides centralized security administration. This includes functionality for access control, single sign-on (separate from Oracle Single Sign-On), personalization, and user profile management in heterogeneous application environments across a variety of application servers, legacy applications, and databases. OAM provides key features for creating, managing, and enforcing access policies. In Fusion v1, the LDAP server will hold both the Identity Store and the Policy Store. Identity store holds users and external roles. Policy store holds Application roles, Function and Data security policies.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fusion ships with a full pre-seeded set of Job Roles. Separation of Jobs and Duty allows access control to be customized to a company’s particular organization</div>
<br />
• You can add/change jobs and their duties<br />
<br />
• You can add/change duties and their privileges<br />
<br />
Below is a comparison of EBS security with Fusion Apps.<br />
<br />
Job Role -> Top Level Menu<br />
<br />
Data Role -> Responsibility <br />
<br />
Duty Role -> Sub Menu<br />
<br />
Privilege -> Form Function<br />
<br />
Permission -> Executable<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, at times you may need to create a new set of policies, duties and job roles. I will try to demonstrate the steps necessary to setup this using an example in another article.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Whoever is implementing Oracle Fusion will definitely have to answer the following question; </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Do you need to have the Oracle Fusion environment hosted on your premises or do you want to host with a third party or host this in Oracle via the Saas or OnDemand model?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To add some more complexity, Oracle provides you with option either to install the application on 'bare metal' or leverage Oracle Virtual Machines (OVM) to host all components.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our experience has been that the fastest and easiest way to get going is if you use hosting service of Oracle or some third-party. However, the flip side of using a hosted applications is that you will see an increase in the turnaround time if you are upgrading, applying patches or debugging, which will be quite high in the initial days and you should keep a buffer for all these exigencies in your project plan.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The next best alternative is to use an on-premise OVM install. You can be up and running in 3 days. Internally at Wipro we are able to set up an environment using OVM install in less than 3 days. The last route is to go for a bare-metal install. This is quite a challenge from DBA perspective and can take well over 2 weeks to set up the environment. Oracle ships both bare-metal as well as OVM versions of the releases, so customers can choose either of these.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Oracle Fusion Apps is the next generation in ERP space. It's completely web-based and takes in the best in class of all products under the Oracle umbrella. Some truely world-class features include the following:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- co-exist with third party legacy applications, thereby giving huge business benefits where customers have already invested heavily in legacy applications and want to plug and play Fusion Apps with existing system.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- Best in class user roles and responsibility features. Truely amazing if we compare this with R11i and R12 stack of products.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- Complete web-based solution, so no hassles of installing client thin or thick. Only thing that you need to be up and running is a browser. Fusion works great on Google chrome, Mozilla along with IE.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- Oracle Fusion Applications feature embedded business intelligence. So, you have plenty of Dashboards, BI reports, smart reporting tools like Smartview (uses an excel add-in) and FR Studio (again uses the best from Hyperion reporting)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- complete SOA based architecture, makes processing and integration real cool.</div>

Document Capture (ODC), Oracle Imaging and Process Management (IPM), Oracle Content Management and Oracle BPEL process Manager to provide a seamlessly integrated solution supporting the entire payables cycle starting from scanning of physical invoices, invoice image recognizition using OCR to pre-populate invoice header, routing of the scanned invoices to AP entry specialists and subsequent approval and payment of invoices. Oracle is the only vendor in the market today offering a fully integrated solution without the use of third party bolt-on solutions.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Once the invoice arrives in a centralized mail room, the imaging specialist would sort and prepare the invoices based on parameters like invoice amount, due date, supplier, etc. and then scan these invoices using ODC. Next the images are automatically sent to Forms Recognition for intelligent recognition to extract key invoice header data like PO number, Supplier, Invoice Number, Invoice Amount and Invoice Date from scanned images using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) capabilities. Once the key header data recognition is completed, the invoice images are sent to Oracle Imaging and Process Management for storage and subsequent routing to accounts payable invoice entry specialists using Oracle BPEL Process Manager workflows. The BPEL process is generated whenever an invoice image is saved successfully in Imaging and Process Management, and this image is then routed to the AP invoice entry operator based on pre-configured rules like invoice amount, supplier, etc. The AP specialist views the scanned image and then fills up the remaining fields of the invoice to kick-off the subsequent process of invoice validation, approval, accounting and payment.<br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>Krishanu Bosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04170210661742727991noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23042094.post-77810047549521899052011-12-18T02:59:00.000-08:002011-12-18T03:01:18.647-08:00Reference Data Set<div style="text-align: justify;">This is a new concept that has come in Fusion. Reference Data sets are logical groups which provides the enterprise to decide which business unit access the reference data groups, such as grades, locations, AR & AP payment terms, departments, and jobs. Oracle provides a default Reference Data set which can be used across all Business units. However, we can define our own Reference data sets, to partition the data from effectively.<br />E.g. in R12 we had to live with the entire list AR payment irrespective to the fact whether one OU was using it or not. however, in Fusion we can restrict payment terms across BU's, so only the relevant ones will be accessible to the BU.<br /></div>Krishanu

</style> <![endif]--> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Business Units (BU) definition: A business unit is a unit of an enterprise that performs one or many business functions that can be rolled up in a management hierarchy. A business unit can process transactions on behalf of many legal entities. Normally, it will have a manager, strategic objectives, a level of autonomy, and responsibility for its profit and loss. <span style="">(1)</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Prior to Oracle Fusion Applications, operating units in Oracle E-Business Suite were assumed to perform all business functions, while in PeopleSoft, each business unit had one specific business function. Oracle Fusion Applications blends these two models and allows defining business units with one or many business functions.<span style=""> (2)</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">In Fusion Procurement context we need to understand the function of the following types of BU’s”</p> <ol><li><span style=""><span style=""></span></span>Procurement BU</li><li><span style=""><span style=""><span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"></span></span></span>Requisitioning BU</li><li>Sold-To BU</li><li><span style=""><span style=""><span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"></span></span></span>Client BU</li></ol> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Procurement Business units: As the name suggests, Procurement BU’s are responsible for the procurement business function which involves vendor management, negotiation of contracts and purchase agreements, issue of order and subsequent administration.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Client Business Unit: Any BU that will be serviced by the Procurement BU needs to be set as the Client BU. In case of Shared Services model where the Procurement services are centralized to one BU, the Procurement BU will be serving all the requisitions from the Client BU’s. </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Requisitioning Business Unit: As the name suggests Requisitioning BU is the business unit that raises the requisition for the goods or services that it needs to the Procurement BU. Sometimes, the Requisitioning BU may be responsible for the financial impact of the purchase, in which case it will also be defined as the Sold-To BU. In case there is another BU which takes the financial responsibility of the purchase then, this Sold-To BU will be different from the Requisitioning BU.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">I’ll take an example to explain the above concept.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">A mobile manufacturing company having global presence has its headquarters based in Norway (XYZ Norway). Its manufacturing division is based in India (XYZ India). The India operation sources its parts from the branch based in Singapore (XYZ Singapore) which does the centralized purchase of chips from different manufacturing companies based in Taiwan and Japan. However, the payment to the supplier is done by headquarter in Norway. In this case the Requisitioning BU would be XYZ India, Purchasing BU would be the XYZ Singapore BU and the Sold-To BU would be XYZ Norway</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Another example to make this clearer. I’ll take the example one of my colleagues Suchismita, uses to explain the concept;<br /></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">In a normal family, when the teenage daughter while returning home sees the designer shoe on the shop’s display, and promptly she approaches her mother with the request, knowing very well that her need would be fulfilled. The mother being a simple homemaker approaches the dad, and the dad being a doting father purchases the shoe and gives to the daughter.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">If we take the above example, the daughter is the Procurement BU as she is buying the shoe from the supplier (shoe store). The mother is the requisitioning BU and the father is the Sold-To BU as he is taking the financial responsibility of the purchase.<span style=""><span style=""> </span>(3)</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Following is the list of setups to be done to ensure this works in the system.</p> <ol><li><span style=""><span style=""><span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"></span></span></span>Select the Procurement Service Providers for the selected BU</li><li><span style=""><span style=""></span></span>Assign either one or many out of the Procurement, Requisitioning and Receiving business functions to the respective BU</li><li><span style=""><span style=""></span></span>Configure the Procurement Business Function for the BU and Configure the Requisitioning Business Function for the BU</li><li><span style=""><span style=""></span></span>Select the Procurement BU at the Supplier Address</li><li><span style=""><span style=""></span></span>Select the Client BU and Sold-To BU at the Supplier Site Assignment</li></ol> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">In today’s scenario, businesses find it beneficial to channel purchases through international subsidiaries instead of directly dealing with suppliers. The reasons range from country specific legal requirements to favorable tax treatment to having better margins due to economies of scale because of centralizing procurement. Fusion Procurement provides this feature seamlessly which in hindsight seems quite intuitive.</p> <h1><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:85%;" >Bibliography</span><span style="line-height: 115%; font-weight: normal; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:11pt;" ></span></h1> <ol><li><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style=""><i>Oracle® Fusion Applications Procurement Implementation Guide</i>.

A new transaction type called “Payables Hold Resolution” (APHLD) in AME has been introduced in R12 for the same. There has been a business requirement to release the AP invoice holds, especially the matching holds based on an approval mechanism. In R12 of Payables, this feature has been provided so that, we can send the invoice lines on hold to approvers before the hold is released. As usual the seeded AME objects can be extended to accommodate different approval groups, rules and other business conditions before the hold is released.</div><p style="text-align: justify;"

Account AP Balance ListingAs per Metalink Note 604739.1, the AP Trial Balance has been replaced by the Open Account AP Balance Listing in R12. This report is a variation on the more general Open Account Balances Listing, and shows basically the outstanding amount (liability) for all open AP invoices. The balance should match your AP liability account(s) in General Ledger. Users can create their own layout and publish their custom reports using Oracle XML Publisher.Krishanu Bosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04170210661742727991noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23042094.post-16870515658548409552010-11-18T00:35:00.000-08:002010-11-18T00:38:12.797-08:00R12: You can make a payment run across multiple OU's<div style="text-align: justify;">In R12, the payments process has undergone quite a bit of change. Earlier in R11i, one could only process payments for one OU, because the internal (disbursing) bank was associated to an OU. However, in R12, internal banks are set for an LE which could be in turn associated to one or more OU's. Hence, its possible that while doing a payment run, you can process all invoices from your internal bank across invoices raised under different OU's.<br /></div>Krishanu Bosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04170210661742727991noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23042094.post-37838329175444901212010-08-21T20:38:00.000-07:002010-08-21T21:03:37.454-07:00What to Convert in GL: Balance or Transaction Detail<div style="text-align: justify;">A key question which all consultants face while handling GL conversion is what to convert, whether to convert the prior period balances or to convert the detailed transactions.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Typically most organisations while converting GL from a legacy system bring in only the balances data and very rarely do we bring in the transactions details. The reasons for the same is as follows:</div><div style="text-align: justify;">1. Usually there is a change in COA while moving from legacy GL to Oracle GL, hence the code combination would never be the same in legacy and Oracle.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">2. Drill down from Oracle GL to Oracle sub-ledger is not possible as there is no linkage between sub-ledger data and GL data post conversion.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">3. The legacy system is usually archived for a defined period of time due to audit and legal reasons. This archived instance can be used for resolving historical audit and reconciliation issues that may arise at a later point in time.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">However, if we are upgrading from an older version of Oracle to a new one, then it makes sense to bring in the transaction data because drill down feature would be available and code combination would remain the same across both the versions. But, here again, we need not bring in the transaction details for all historical data but only for a small period range, typically we convert transaction details from start of the year to the cut-over date and balance data for prior period-years.</div>Krishanu Bosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04170210661742727991noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23042094.post-88335103996281710132010-01-07T19:28:00.001-08:002010-01-07T19:28:22.853-08:00Retainage and Retainage Release in Or...<DIV><B><FONT size=3>Retainage and Retainage Release in Oracle Payables for a Complex Purchase Order</FONT><BR></B></DIV><br /><DIV>Retainage represents funds withheld from payment to ensure that the contractor finishes work as agreed. The buying organization releases these funds only after verifying that the contractor has fulfilled all contractual obligations. Retainage is also called "retention" or "contractual withholds".<BR>With Oracle's Complex Work feature, contract administrator can negotiate retainage terms with the contractor and capture these as part of the contract. These terms include Retainage Rate and Maximum Retainage Amount.<BR></DIV><br /><DIV><B>Retainage Rate</B><BR>The Retainage Rate determines the percentage of the amount requested that will be withheld before releasing payments to the contractor. This attribute appears on the PO Line if the Document Styles enables the use of Retainage. The Retainage Rate specified on the PO Line is applied to all Standard Invoices billed to the Pay Items of the respective Line.

There are a couple of approaches that can be used. The same approach applies to refund from suppliers as well. </div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify"><strong>Approach 1</strong>: Invoice to retire the prepayment and then Debit Memo for refund.</div><div align="justify">Step1: Create a standard invoice and apply the remaining amount of prepayment to it.</div><div align="justify">Step2: Then enter a debit memo and pay it with a Refund payment in the Payments window.The result will be that the outstanding prepayment / advance made is no longer there as this is matched to the invoice and the refund that is collected from the employee is matched to a Debit Memo in AP so that the refund is also recorded in Oracle. However, one needs to ensure that the expense account that you use in the invoice to retire the prepayment and Debit Memo for the refund is the same account.<br /></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"><strong>Approach 2</strong>: Create an invoice to retire the prepayment to an amount equal to the refund. This approach to handle this scenario is pretty straight forward.</div><div align="justify">Step1: Create a standard invoice equal to the refund amount and apply the outstanding amount of prepayment to it.<br /></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"><strong>Approach 3</strong>:If the employee is a salesperson or someone who would incur employee expenses regularly, then in that case the easist option would be to leave the advance / prepayment amount as-is and match it to the expense the person incurs next time around.</div>Krishanu Bosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04170210661742727991noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23042094.post-90437107775419988472009-07-19T05:37:00.000-07:002009-07-19T05:43:25.456-07:00Too many Managers spoil the project<p align="justify">All of us in our childhood must have heard of the proverb "Too many cooks spoil the broth". If too many people try to take charge of a task, the end product might be ruined. This applies to any task like an implementation project as well.An easy way to identify if the project is going awry is when you find many people following up to find the status of the job being done. In one of my earlier projects there was one developer writing a piece of code and there were four managers chasing the poor lady for updates and status. However, none of these managers were capable or inclined to help out the person writing a complex piece of code.One really felt bad when a bug was detected in the code and none of the managers took ownership and started blaming each other and the poor lady for writing the incorrect code. </p><p align="justify">So, the next obvious question would be wher the top management is blind to such mis-management or most of the time over-management (sometimes micro-management)? My answer would be a definite 'Yes'. For the top management what matters at the end of the day is billing and not success or failure of projects. They are mostly driven by short term objectives of ensuring that their bench strength is low and not the long term objective of ensuring customer satisfaction by delivering a good solution for the client. Also, with having too many managers, the internal dynamics of peer rivalry; of each person trying to show case himself as the better manager in the eyes of top management and trying to out-do the other in a selfish manner puts the project at a grave risk.</p><p align="justify">Most of us would have seen or been part of such a project. Do share your thoughts on why we staff so many managers when there is no necessity for so many managers without defining clear boundaries and scope and conflicting job area. And, if someone has changed such a scenario, do share your experience on how to change such a situation and bring the project back to track?</p>Krishanu Bosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04170210661742727991noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23042094.post-13063195405400925192008-12-07T10:03:00.001-08:002011-04-29T01:02:04.243-07:00Learn using Sub Ledger Accounting (SLA) in R12 Oracle Payables<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:100%;">Sub Ledger Accounting (SLA) is a Rule-Based accounting engine that defines how journal entries are generated in sub-ledger transactions in Oracle sub-ledger applications. However, SLA also supports external applications generating accounting information which ultimately needs to be transferred to Oracle General Ledger. Before we get into SLA we need to know few of the basic concepts like event types, event class, etc. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:100%;">Event Class - classifies transaction types for accounting rule purposes. E.g. in Payables, following are possible event classes: Invoice, Debit Memo, Prepayments, Refunds and Payments.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:100%;">Event Type - for each transaction type, defines possible actions with accounting significance. E.g. in Payables, following are possible event classes: AP Invoice Events – Validation, Adjustment and Cancellation. Similarly we will have event types for other event classes.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:100%;">In most of the cases we would not need to customize SLA and </span><span style="font-size:85%;">accounting features will work same as 11i. Some of the typical business scenarios where we would need to customize SLA in Payables are as follows:</span></p><ul style="MARGIN-TOP: 0in" type="disc"><br /><li class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:100%;">To have a different Liability account based on Operating Unit for which the invoice is entered.</span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:100%;">To have different natural account (expense) based on different Invoice Type and Invoice Line type.</span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:100%;">To have different natural account (expense) and different liability account based on different criteria like supplier type, entering currency, pay group, etc.</span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:100%;">The cost center segment of Invoice distribution Liability account shall be picked from the Invoice distribution Account while the other segment values from the Liability account defined at supplier site.</span></li></ul><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:100%;">To cater to some of the above requirements we can use other alternatives like using distribution sets also. But setting up a custom SLA for such scenarios is an easier approach with lower user maintenance. I will try and show a simple scenario of how to derive custom accounting for a business scenario using SLA in Oracle Payables.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:100%;">Business Scenario: We need to define different liability account (natural account segment) based on Supplier Type so that business can track the liability by supplier type. The other segment values will default from supplier site. I am limiting this example to only one supplier type “Contractor". The objective would be to have a different natural account for Liability account for invoices of supplier type "Contractor" alone, while for other supplier types the normal liability account should default.</span></p><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:100%;">Solution: </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:100%;">Step1: First define a mapping set for various supplier types.</span></p><div class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:100%;">Navigation: Setup > Accounting Setups >Sub Ledger Accounting Setups >Accounting Methods Builders > Journal Entry Setups > Mapping Sets</span></div><br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><br /><div id="xinn" style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 1em; PADDING-TOP: 1em; TEXT-ALIGN: left"><img src="http://docs.google.com/File?id=dc8sv8dj_22fkf3wdc5_b" /></div></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:100%;">Step2: Define ADR (Account Derivation Rules)</span></p><div class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:100%;">Navigation: Setup > Accounting Setups >Sub Ledger Accounting Setups >Accounting Methods Builders > Journal Entry Setups > Account Derivation Rules</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><div id="d:p0" style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 1em; PADDING-TOP: 1em; TEXT-ALIGN: left"><img src="http://docs.google.com/File?id=dc8sv8dj_23d77q79hs_b" /></div><div style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 1em; PADDING-TOP: 1em; TEXT-ALIGN: left"><br /><div id="uptb" style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 1em; PADDING-TOP: 1em; TEXT-ALIGN: left"><img src="http://docs.google.com/File?id=dc8sv8dj_24f9g82df2_b" /></div></div></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:100%;"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:100%;"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:100%;">Step3: Define JLD (Journal Line Definition)</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:100%;">Navigation: Setup > Accounting Setups >Sub Ledger Accounting Setups > Accounting Methods Builder > Methods and Definitions > Journal Line Definitions</span></p><div class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:100%;">Always create a copy of the seeded JLD and do not modify a seeded JLD.

The standard Oracle report 'Invoice Audit Listing' is not effective when it comes to list down potential duplicate invoices. The 'Invoice Audit Listing' is more of a listing and the payables manager has to spend time and effort in analysing this report. Also, not to mention when it comes to performance this report takes quite a while to complete if you mention a very old 'Begin Invoice date'. </p><p align="justify">A common requirement that comes to my mind is to report all invoices which are of same amount and currency from a supplier within a given time period. Although this report is a relatively simple report to design, but as a thought i feel this should be included as a standard report in payables.</p>Krishanu Bosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04170210661742727991noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23042094.post-79129539478626485892008-09-03T12:02:00.000-07:002008-09-03T14:22:22.460-07:00Indian Megavendors<p align="justify">The other day i was reading an article in <a href="http://specials.rediff.com/money/2008/aug/13slide1.htm">http://specials.rediff.com/money/2008/aug/13slide1.htm</a> on India's top three IT companies. As per this article, Gartner has come out with a report in which they predict that, Tata Consultancy Services, Infosys Technologies, and Wipro Technologies, collectively referred as 'India-3,' will emerge as the next generation of IT service megavendors. These vendors are increasingly being considered for strategic service deals, and will augment or, in some cases, replace today's acknowledged megavendors by revenue -- IBM Global Services, Accenture and EDS -- in this space by 2011, says Gartner.</p><p align="justify">Obviously this means there will be a lot of consolidation that is bound to happen in the IT space in India, as there are a lot of tier-2 firms who cannot match the pace of growth of the top 3 firms in India. This means some of these small IT companies will be forced to sell out as the war on margins and cornering a portion of the relatively fixed marketshare will become more acute. However, for the top-3 to actually reach the levels of present generation megavendors, apart from the cost advantage, they have to position on other parameters as well. The article talks of four critical competencies on which the emerging Indian megavendors are positioning themselves.</p><p align="justify">The competencies are: process excellence; world-class HR practices; providing high quality services at a low cost; the achievement of significant and disproportionate 'mind share' compared to their actual size. </p><p align="justify">However, the catch is to continue providing high quality services at a low cost and yet try and increase the mind-share further. With wage bills increasing and worries over global slowdown, maintaining low cost is definitely a big challenge. However, i feel where Indian top-3 companies are critically lacking is in thought-leadership. The culture of innovation and path-breaking developments is still not visible. The present day megavendors have primarily reached this position due to a large investment in innovation and thought-leadership. Anyways, interesting times ahead for all in tough situations, and obviously only the toughest will survive and prosper.</p>Krishanu Bosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04170210661742727991noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23042094.post-36957763603778688212008-08-31T09:35:00.000-07:002011-04-29T01:01:24.872-07:00Importing Payments and Paid Invoices into Oracle - Oracle needs to provide an APIHow many of us had a requirement of importing paid invoices and their corressponding payment details to Oracle? I would say many. But strangely till date there in no straight forward method to import payments into Oracle. I feel its time that Oracle comes up with a standard process like an API to handle this business need.<br />There are a few workarounds to this scenario. A direct update of Oracle base table is one but this comes with the risk of losing support from Oracle.<br />The other, more robust way would be to use the manual payment feature of Oracle to record such payments that have been already done in the earlier system. However, automating this process using a batch program is a challenge.<br />Do put in your comments in case you have a soultion to this problem which would help a lot of people out there.Krishanu Bosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04170210661742727991noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23042094.post-64801293205270538852008-08-11T05:46:00.000-07:002008-08-11T08:55:51.634-07:00Oracle E-Business Tax: Regime to Rate Flow in Oracle R12<p class="MsoNormal" id="al6:" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><span id="al6:1" style="font-size:100%;">In Oracle Release12, there has been some very significant changes, one among them being how we define tax.

This will streamline the approvals process and thus ensure users are reimbursed as quickly as possible.<br />2. <strong>FYI Notification<br /></strong>Now, you will be able to define rules in AME to send FYI notifications to managers and others who should be informed of expenses charged to their area of authority, but who do not need to approve the expense report.<br />3. <strong>Aggregation of Amount</strong><br />You will be able to route expense approvals based on the aggregated amounts charged to cost centers or projects. The approval notification will show both the total amount to be approved, and how much of each expense was charged to the area of approval authority. This feature will ensure that proper approval authority is enforced when an expense report is allocated to many different cost centers, projects, or awards.Krishanu Bosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04170210661742727991noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23042094.post-24228910451469612032008-05-16T13:44:00.001-07:002011-04-29T01:01:39.329-07:00Conversion (Data Migration) of Invoices in Receivables<span xmlns=""><p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">Whenever we are going in for implementation of Receivables module, we have to consider the necessity of bringing in customer open balances from the old system to Oracle Receivables.<br /></p><p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">Some of the key questions that needs to be addressed before we take up a conversion activity. This is just a sample list and not an exhaustive one:<br /></p><p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">1. What are the different types of invoices in existing system Provide invoice samples? (invoices, credit/ debit memos, commitments, chargebacks)<br /></p><p>2. Do we need to migrate only open invoices?<br /></p><p>3. Do we migrate closed invoices also, if yes, then for what time period?<br /></p><p>4. Please explain the invoice numbering mechanism? Is it automatic?<br /></p><p>5. What are the interfaces from/to your existing receivables system?<br /></p><p>6. Will the old system still be in place for querying and reporting purpose?<br /></p><p><br /></p><p>One can adopt one of the following three strategies for conversion:<br /></p><p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">1. Consolidate all the open balances customer-wise and create a single open invoice for each customer in the new Oracle system. The advantage of this system is that it is quite easy and not data intensive and makes good business sense in case of small businesses with very few customers. The major demerit of this approach is that later on one cannot track the individual invoices which the customer had sent and can become an audit issue also. In case of dispute over payment, this invoice will remain open till the dispute is resolved. Also, aging of invoices and dunning history will be lost.<br /></p><p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">2. Bring in all the open and partially paid invoices, credit/debit memos into the new system. Migrate all the unapplied and partially applied receipts to the new system. The advantage of this process of conversion is that you can track all open invoices individually and apply the correct receipt to correct invoice. Also, the conversion effort will be moderately low compared to case if you migrate all open and closed invoices. The disadvantage of this approach is that you cannot have a track of closed invoices in the new system. Also, it would be tough to handle scenarios where there is a dispute regarding incorrect receipt application, etc. This is the most common approach taken for receivables invoice, credit/debit memo and receipt migration.<br /></p><p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">3. Migrate all open and closed invoices to the new system. Reapply the migrated receipts to invoices in the new system. This approach makes sense if your receivables data is quite small else the effort involved in migrating all closed invoices and credit memos to the new system does not make much business sense.<br /></p><p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">The next question that arises is how we should migrate the invoices, credit/debit memos and receipts to the new system. Oracle provides standard interfaces to load the same. We can also use tools like Dataloader or manually key in the data into Oracle.<br /></p><p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">In this article i will talk of invoice, credit/debit memo conversion only. Prior to invoice migration, customer migration should be over apart from other pre-requisites. Following is the list of pre-requisites that should be completed prior to invoice, credit/debit memo conversion:<br /></p><p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">•Set-up of Customer Payment Terms should be complete<br /></p><p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">•Set-up of Currencies should be complete (this is necessary in case you have foreign currency invoices also)<br /></p><p>•Set-up of Transaction Types should be complete<br /></p><p>•Set-up of Accounting Rules should be complete<br /></p><p>•Set-up of Tax rates and Tax codes should be complete<br /></p><p>•Set up for sales representative should be complete<br /></p><p>•Set up for debtor area should be complete<br /></p><p>•Set up for income category should be complete<br /></p><p>•Automatic customer invoice numbering should be set to 'No'<br /></p><p>•Customer and Customer address should be migrated in the system<br /></p><p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">•Disable the Invoice interface purge program so that the data successfully imported should not get purged in the interface table.<br /></p><p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">•Set up for invoice batch source name should be complete<br /></p><p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">In the next step extract Invoice data from the legacy files and using SQL loader populate the interface tables RA_INTERFACE_LINES_ALL and RA_INTERFACE_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL. Submit the Auto Invoice open interface program. Data from the two interface tables will be uploaded to the following base tables using the Invoice open interface program:<br /></p><p>•RA_CUSTOMER_TRX_ALL<br /></p><p>•RA_CUSTOMER_TRX_LINES_ALL<br /></p><p>•RA_CUST_TRX_LINE_GL_DIST_ALL<br /></p><p>•RA_BATCHES_ALL<br /></p><p>•RA_CUST_TRX_LINE_SALESREPS_ALL<br /></p><p>•AR_RECEIVABLE_APPLICATIONS_ALL<br /></p><p>•AR_PAYMENT_SCHEDULES_ALL<br /></p><p>•RA_INTERFACE_ERRORS_ALL<br /></p><p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">Ensure that the Purge Interface check box is not checked when you submit the Autoinvoice program. In the Autoinvoice errors form you can see the error corresponding to failed records. Correct the errors in the interface table and rerun the Autoinvoice program. Submit the Autoinvoice Purge Program separately. Only records that have been successfully processed by Autoinvoice are purged.<br /></p><p align="justify">Using autoinvoice you can migrate invoices, credit/debit memos and on-account credits into Oracle. However, you have to set grouping rules (Navigation > Setup > Transactions > Autoinvoice > Grouping Rule) to group lines to create one transaction and ordering rules (Navigation > Setup > Transactions > Autoinvoice > Line Ordering Rules) to determine the order of the transaction lines on a particular invoice.</p></span>Krishanu Bosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04170210661742727991noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23042094.post-77122940303473360422008-04-20T10:23:00.000-07:002011-04-29T01:01:39.329-07:00Business case - Customer on Credit Hold<p id="p0_0">Business Scenario:<br id="f78q">There is a requirement to put all open orders in Order Management on Hold by putting a Credit Hold on customer under the following two conditions:<br id="x4mk">1. Customer exceeds the Credit limit set<br id="icg_">2. Cutomer has not paid an invoice even after 'x' days of the invoice due date on invoice. However, this customer may not have exceeded the credit limit.</p><p align="justify">Solution:<br id="ypr_">The solution to the first scenario is to enable the Credit Check for the customer and put an amount in the Credit Limit field for the customer. Oracle Order Management would use this information to place an order on hold.<br id="hip4">However, for the second scenario there is no standard solution. We have to create custom program to put the customer on a 'Credit Hold'.<br id="ekbq">Step1: Enable a DFF (we can name it as say 'Over Due Days') for the customer which would hold the maximum number of days the payment is overdue that is accecptable to the business.<br id="nj-o">Step2: Write a small program that would check daily for all customers where the system date is greater than the due date by the number of days specified in the DFF. A report would also be an output of the program which is something very similar to the standard report "Past Due Invoice Report" with a couple of additional fields to capture the days beyond the maximum number of days after due date as per DFF. This program would put all customer on a Credit Hold where the invoice Due date is greater than 'Due Date + No of days in DFF'.<br id="urvo">Ensure that the program is scheduled to run just after midnight to so that the program does not miss out on any new invoices created.</p>Krishanu Bosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04170210661742727991noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23042094.post-40059417322259634812008-04-11T23:27:00.000-07:002011-04-29T01:01:39.330-07:00Customer Refund in Receivables<div align="justify">There are cases when customers overpay, or pay one invoice twice. In all such cases the customer is due for a refund. The easiest approach would be to ask the customer to absorb the overpayment if the amount is small. However, if the amount is large the customer would no doubt ask for a refund. There are basically three ways to handle customer refunds:<br />1. Issue a manual check for refund to the customer and record a Debit Memo in Receivables and match this to the receipt.</div><div align="justify">2. Ask the customer to leave the cash as "on-account" and apply this later to any other open invoice.</div><div align="justify">3. Setup customer as supplier in Payables, and issue a check out of payables. The third option is more cumbersome but will make bank reconciliation a lot smoother. First create a debit memo in receivables, using a clearing account (the clearing account should always show zero balance). Match the receipt to this Debit Memo. Then create an invoice for this customer (set as supplier in AP), using the same clearing account as the expense account in the invoice. Pay the invoice in the normal way and do a bank reconciliation.</div><div align="justify">The above process of customer refund is only limited to 11i. In Oracle R12, Oracle Receivables is fully integrated with Oracle Payables to deliver a seamless, automated process to generate check and bank account transfer refunds for eligible receipts and credit memos.</div>Krishanu Bosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04170210661742727991noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23042094.post-17243234308970821932008-04-09T11:53:00.000-07:002008-04-27T10:13:16.347-07:00Oracle Apps Marketing for Upgrade projects - A small tip<p class="MsoNormal" id="aa.u" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"></p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" id="pe45" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span id="bs9u" style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;" >It has been my observation that a lot of time and effort goes waste knocking the wrong door for Oracle Apps project.
