AutoSelect-restrict selection Query 2

Subject: AP experts-AutoSelect program...

Hello everyone

We are on Oracle Apps 10.7 SC Prodn 16.1 on HP-UX 10.20 live on AP, AR, GL and FA. The issue that I am hoping to get some inputs from all you AP experts concerns the Quick Payment of approved invoices. Presently as Apps logic has it, please feed in if I go awry, all approved-Invoices (which are fed in batch mode at our site) are selected in the AutoSelect Program and are Built for payment in the same Payment Batch. Hence a single Payment Batch ends up paying for say 10 Invoices Batches, if all these batches have 'Approved' status.

Now here is the requirement for assistance:

Has anybody been succesful to enable the AutoSelect and Build Programs to select Invoices to be paid Batch-wise? What this means is that the user, while defining the Payment Batch, should be in a position to select the Batch of Invoices s/he wants to pay and leave out the rest of the approved batches.

Any suggestions to achieve this preserving the standard programs would be GREATLY appreciated.

Many thanks for your time.

Why try and reinvent the wheel?
Look into Paygroups and Payment Priorities. You can accomplish the same thing with these two items if you use them appropriately.

Joe/Everyone

The Invoice Batches created, often contain invoices of vendors with mixed Paygroups and Priorities. How do you suggest I filter out this kind of mix enabling only specific invoices to be selected for Payment??

Anyways many thanks for the suggestion.

You are not giving us enough information.
What are you using Paygroups and Priorities for if you are not using them to select the invoices for payment?

Electronic Payment - Address Style not defaulting

Date: Tue, 27 Jul 1999 09:54:43 IST
From: "Kuntal Ray" k_file2@hotmail.com
Subject: AP: In Electronic Payment, address style is not getting stored

Hi All,
I am facing a problem in AP. In case of electronic payment AP is not storing Address Style from PO_VENDOR_SITES_ALL in AP_CHECKS_ALL table. As a result, my report is not able to print address in correct format. But in other cases (check) it's taking the Address Style from PO_VENDOR_SITES_ALL and properly storing it in AP_CHECKS_ALL and all the reports are working correctly. Did anybody face this problem or can extend any help in this regard?

Thank you in advance, Kuntal


Open invoice conversion

From: philip@aleytys.pc.my
Subject: AP:10.7SC: Open Invoice conversion

Hi Oracle People,

I need to migrate all our open invoices from 9.4 to 10.7 SC. Through the invoice interface. I plan to bring over only the net unpaid portion of the open invoices. However my AP key user has asked me to bring over the gross amounts plus payments against these invoices.

I'm quite blur here. Do I bring these over as Credit invoices? How do I apply the credits against the standard invoices? There does not seem to be an AP open cheque/payments interface in 10.7 . The lockbox thingy appears to be a AR function.

Duplicate Invoices

Date: Thu, 29 Jul 1999 16:25:07 -0400
From: Margaret_Mason@keybank.com
Subject: AP: Duplicate Invoices in Payables

Hello Everybody,

We are currently on 10.7 SC and we are getting this unusual message lately. When our users are trying to key in the invoices, they get this error APP-100224 Value already exists. But when we query for the Invoice # we are unable to find them. This has started recently. We have not applied any Patches lately.

We called Oracle and they recognized it as a bug and a Tar is in place. The work around is to add an alphabet at the end of the invoice # and let it go through.

Just wanted to see why it started all of a sudden and is there anybody else having the same problem.

Thanks in advance. Margaret,


Check print order

From: oracleapps oracleapps@leco.com
To: oraapps-l oraapps-l@cpa.qc.ca, scott_kurland scott_kurland@leco.com
Subject: AP Check Print Order

Hello,

We currently have our vendors assigned to individuals in AP and when we print form feed checks (in one check run) they are sorted and grouped by each AP person's id. This allows us to easily seperate them and distribute them throughout AP people.

Now in Oracle, we are attempting to match this process. We have tried priority level, pay group and the checks still are put in alpha order for the whole check run.

Is there any way to change this? A work around possibly?

We realize we can run this by using multiple payment batches but we would like to do it in one.

Thanks and regards,

How to diable deletion of an Invoice

Date: Mon, 2 Aug 1999 10:55:45 +0100
From: geir.bardstu@ac.com
Subject: Deleting Invoices in AP

A client of mine is running a R10.7 NCA Accounts Payables without the Purchasing system. After doing a preliminary registration of an Invoice, the Red X in the toolbar is still active, and it is possible to delete the registered invoice. In the old characterbased system, it was possible to define in the setup that deletion of Invoices should not be possible (locally recommended by the Auditors). Any suggestions on how to make sure that Invoices are not deleted in AP ?

Factoring in Ver 11 as compared to that in Ver 10

Date: Thu, 5 Aug 1999 08:14:42 -0500
From: "Marcia Michalik" marcia_michalik@edisonday.com
Subject: AP: Factoring

Does Release 11 handle factoring any better than Rel 10 did - specifically the ability to write a check to a "vendor," typically a bank, other than the vendor matched from the PO? If not, I'd be interesting in knowing what others are doing as a work-around. Thanks in advance for your help.

Subject: RE: Factoring

Marcia,

I don't know how Rel 11 handles factors, but the workaround that I've seen work (in 10.7) is to have the factoring bank name as the first address line of the vendor pay site.

I've worked at a couple of companies that interacted with factoring relationships, and they've always been able to reference both the vendor and the factor name on the checks with no problems.

Thanks, Sarah

Do you have automatic or manual numbering for suppliers? You cannot automatically create employees as suppliers if you use manual supplier numbering.

Withholding tax - netting the transaction

Date: Tue, 17 Aug 1999 12:18:06 -0700 (PDT)
From: mark liberman m_liberman@yahoo.com
Subject: AP: Withholding tax - netting the transaction

Hi all,

I've set up AP withholding tax (at payment). After entering a supplier invoice, the AP reports show the total gross invoice amount as the liability.

After paying the invoice, the same reports show only the net amount (after withholding tax deduction) as the invoice amount. We need to see in the supplier reports the whole gross invoice amount (to know the total supplier turnover) and see that the payment was divided between the actual amount paid to the supplier and the tax deduction.

Does anyone know if AP supports that? Or is there any way to achieve that?

Would appreciate any input,
Mark


Handling Unclaimed Monies

Date: Wed, 18 Aug 1999 10:30:36 +1000
From: Sheila Cruickshank scruickshank@assist.com.au
To: "'oraapps-l@cpa.qc.ca'" oraapps-l@cpa.qc.ca
Subject: AP: Solution for handling Unclaimed Monies

Hi all,

We have recently come across a situation requiring a solution in AP (and possibly GL). Just wondering if anyone has seen this before and developed a solution for dealing with the requirements.

REQUIREMENTS:
Where cheques issued from AP remain unpresented for a defined period of time, legislation requires this money to be held in trust, and after a further period of time they must be reported in a government gazette. The gazette reporting requires that all of the payee/payment details be notified (ie name, address, amount etc). If the monies are then not claimed, they must be handed to the Reserve (Central) Bank. An administration fee can be deducted which in most cases will reduce the amount payable to the Reserve Bank to nil.

The process that needs to be implemented in AP/GL after the payment is voided is:

1) Store payment information to reflect that the funds are being held in trust
2) This should include ability to store all payment / payee information
3) This should include the ability to deduct an administration fee
4) This should include the ability to report all of this information for gazettal
5) This should provide the ability to ultimately pay the funds to the Reserve Bank, net of the administration fee.

Please let me know if you have any ideas.
Thanks
Sheila Cruickshank
