Invoice No. prefix - change

Subject: Q on Pay on Receipt Autoinvoice Program

Hi,

We are in 10.7 sc 161. Is anybody know how to change the prefix of invoice number for Oracle Payables that auto generated from ERS. (Evaluated Receipt Settlemet or Pay on Receipt Autoinvoice program)

Currently the invoice number is of the following format :-

'ERS'- X - Seq#

where:

- Seq# is a unique system generated number.

- X depends on the summary level:
- if summary level = Pay Site then X = Invoice Date
- if summary level = Packing Slip then X = Packing Slip Number
- if summary level = Receipt then X = Receipt Number

Thanks,

Hi all,
Is it possible to de-activate a customer site(bill to or ship to) through Customer Interface. I am trying to achieve this functionality by inserting anew record in the ra_customers_interface_all with orig_system_customer_ref,orig_system_address_ref,customer_status(I),insert_u pdate_flag fields(U). But it is updating customer itself and making it inactive.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Is it possible in Oracle Apps Version 11.0.2 to assign diferent recievables account to the lines of an invoice( Salesrep being the same for the invoice)?. Going through the autoaccounting set up documents it seems we can have different accounts only for the revenue,freight and tax accounts.

Hi
The Receivable Account has only two sources.

Transaction Type and

In one Invoice, Transaction Type will be the same. As the Salesrep is also the same - I cann't see such a possibility. The use of Standard Lines as sources in Revenue, Tax and Freight gives them the flexibility.

Yes, this is possible. The sum of the amounts or percents of the distribution lines must then equal the total for the individual invoice line that they refer to.

Subject: RE: Separate receivables account for Invoice Lines

Hi Tom (and Prince),

This thread has been a little confusing. You can have multiple revenue distributions that total "the individual invoice line that they refer to", but you cannot have multiple receivable accounts for an invoice. As Alok said in a separate posting, this is not possible with standard functionality. The auto invoice program will not allow it, and even if it did get in the table, the cash application, credit, adjustment processes, etc. would not handle it correctly.

This is an enhancement request, and Oracle said they were trying to have it ready for 11.5 (now 11i), but I wouldn't depend on it being ready AND working anytime soon.

Hope this clears things up. Craig

Hi everybody!

We are on R10.7 SC 16.1, AP and AR, and we have legacy systems feeding to the AP and AR. We maintain our legacy masters as the corporate master and we try to update Oracle masters through Oracle Open Interface. AP has been live for 5 months and AR is scheduled to go live in a month.

Our problem is that we get so many errors when try to update the Customer master through the Open Interface, for example Customer Addresses. Our guys are wondering if anybody out there is in similar situation, that is to have the legacy master and to update Oracle master accordingly. If so, do you do it through Oracle Open Interface or through your custom codes? We have customized the master updating for Supplier because Oracle Open Interface did not support updating Suppliers.

Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.

Consolidated Billing

Subject: AR - Consolidate Billing

Hello All-

Has anyone worked with consolidated billing? We need to generate 1 invoice a month for a few select customers that receive multiple shipments throughout the month. We use OPM\GEMMS for order entry and the Autoinvoice process to generate invoices. Currently we enter these type of orders as a stock transfer with a 0 price which does not generate an invoice and then at the end of the month we enter a consolidated sales order which generates a consolidate invoice. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Subject: Re: AR - Consolidate Billing

Hi,
First if you have one Consolidated Sales order in OE you will get one invoice in Ar for which you do not need Consolidated Billing. Consolidated Billing works on the Proxima Payment Terms Concept wherin you have to define a payment term with a cut off day.Then you have to assign this Payment Term to the Customer Bill to site. Remember to enable Consolidated Billing in the Profile Class of this Customer. When you are entering an Invoice in AR this Payment term will default on the invoice.

Consolidated Billing does not use this Payment Term.
Next is run the Consolidated Billing program.In the parameters of this program specify the same cut off day and payment term which is associated to the bill to site of that customer and run the program for the same customer. This gives you a report which will be a consolidated bill of all the Customer invoices which were associated with this Payment Term raised before the Cut off day.

The next time you run this program for the next month it carries forward the old balance due and gives you the net balance after deducting payments.

Regards,
Sunil Wahi.

Thanks for the info -
We use OPM\GEMMS for OE and as orders are shipped an invoice is generated via an AR Update program and the AutoInvoice process in Receivables so our current process is as many invoices are generated as items are shipped BUT I'm curious about your other suggestion - it sounds like a monthly statement? The next time you run this program for the next month it carries forward the old balance due and gives you the net balance after deducting payments. How do you run the consolidated billing program - is this info in any of the AR reference manuals?

Hi Cheryl,
You are right, Consolidated billing is like statements but it's a different concept all together. I have mailed you the set up steps in my earlier mail.More is available in the AR reference manuals.

There is a separate program if you access the print documents/Consolidated billing which generates this report. This actually is not another invoice,it 's only a report which is an invoice format that can be sent to the customer.

There is one profil;e option called AR Use Billing number which you have to enable, to use a separate number generated by this program.This number will then be on every Invoice which shall be printed on this report. We are going to use this concept for multiple invoices generated from Projects of the same customer.

If you need any thing else on this topic get back to me.

Aged TB Report - Second Report with same As Of date

Date: Fri, 27 Aug 1999 13:53:00 -0500
From: Heyman_Howard Heyman_Howard@videojet.com
Subject: AR: Aged Trial Balance Report

All -

Hopefully an easy one. If the Aged Trial Balance Report is run a second time but using the same criteria, especially the as of date, will the results be the same or different? A user is complaining that the results have changed and my gut reaction is that they SHOULD change (from entering adjustments to invoices, etc.), but I can't find any documentation to support my feelings. (She runs the report on day X and then re-runs the same report with the same as of date a week later. Her issue is reconcilliation back to the GL.)

Can anyone confirm my suspicion and give me examples of the transactions that may cause a change in the balance?

Subject: RE: Aged Trial Balance Report

That's what we thought too. But it didn't always happen. We ended up running all our reconciliation reports for the EOM on the first working day of each month and nothing was entered in the new period until all the reports were reconciled. (This was not a huge organization and we also had a few custom reports that had to be run for reconciliation.)

Apart from reloading the output reports into a temp table and comparing the results (which I have done! - for a totally different reason) there's no way of telling what transactions are the difference between the two reports. My gut reaction, as to the cause, is the same, with adjustments, some type of payments, reversal of payments, or something like that, but I've not investigated it.

Subject: Re: AR: Aged Trial Balance Report

Hi,

AR Aged Trial Balance Report is a point-in-time report. So you might see different results even though you use the same as-of-date. The logic is such that it looks for 'Open' items and then calculates the balance. If you run as of today, the balance is what is stored in the payment schedules. If you run for a prior-date, then the report reads the applications against the transaction and backs them out, to arrive at the balance as of the date, you want.

Let's say you run this report as of 01-Aug-99 and you've a invoice I1 with $100 balance and I2 with $200 balance. During the first week of August, let's say there's a partial payment of $50 applied to I1, which brings the balance to $50. Also I2 is paid off fully. So if you run the report on 10th August, but with '01-Aug-99' as your date, the report will pick up $100 for I1. But guess what, I2 will not appear in the output at all!!. Because the report only looks for 'Open' items.

In this sense, AR is very different from GL.

Coming to the actual requirement of your user: Reconciling AR to GL. The Aged Trial Balance is not the best tool to do this. For GL reconciliation, what you really need what are the activities for a period , rather than what your customers owe you. So, please instruct her to consider a combination of 'Sales Journal by GL account', 'Receipts Register' and/or 'Adjustments Register' 'Miscellaneous Receipts Register' etc. I believe there's a chapter in AR Users guide about reconciliation to GL. Also I vaguely remember browsing through some good articles in past OAUG conferences on this topic.

Good luck, Murali

We also ran into this mystery. The parameters were exact. In our findings, the only time there were differences was when "clean-up" was done "behind the scenes" to either the subleder or the GL in the tables, or just the subleder and not the GL or vice versa. It was human error each time, not Oracle. You may want to ask the technical team if something was done that you weren't aware of.

Hope this helps.

Subject: Re: AR: Aged Trial Balance Report

Sadly, the answer will change every time you run the aged trial balance report.

The report (at least in 9.3 through 10.7, I dunno about 11x) looks at the CURRENT outstanding amounts from ar_payment_schedules. Therefore if any applications have been done the aged trial balance will change.

I think it is theoretically possible to create an aged trial balance that recreates a point in time, but I wouldn't like to do it myself and it would probably take a week to run. The simplest answer is to make sure your AR people routinely run and save one at the end of each period.

We originally had a problem with these totals not matching. My AR department said this was unacceptable. I logged a tar with Oracle and they supplied a patch with updated reports. Now, when we use an 'As of Date' we always get the same amount regardless of when the report is run.

Due to the response I got to my posting, I went and verified this fact this morning. I grabbed a report dated '01-FEB-1999' and was run as of '31-JAN-1999'. I ran the AGED TRIAL BALANCE - $ BUCKET and the AGED TRIAL BALANCE - BY ACCOUNT. Both were exactly the same totals (taking into account the differences between 7 and 4 buckets) as my report from 01-FEB-1999.

I do not agree. We implemented Oracle AR on 10.7 & have since upgraded to 11.02. In both versions, once you have finished closing an accounting period, your ending ATB doesn't change-----UNLESS, of course, if someone 'reopens' the period & proceeds to enter trans/receipts/adjs/etc. in that period. If July 31, 99, is your month-end and invoices that are outstanding/open at that point are subsequently paid by customers in August 99, they will still appear on your EOM ATB @ 7/31/99...........

Hi Marni,
We are currently on 10.7 and experience the same issue that you do not agree with. Is there something in your setup that allows this to work for you? I would be very interested in knowing what it is. If you reverse, or re-apply a receipt in the following period and run the ATB for July 31, 1999, it will provide the same information as the original ATB? We find that the issue is usually linked to reversing and re-applying receipts. We are very diligent in closing AR immediately after the fiscal period has ended.

When you state that you have finished closing an accounting period, is this just AR; or, does it include GL?

Your assistance is greatly appreciated,
Stan

Subject: AR: Aged Trial Balance

Hi,

I've seen couple of postings on this topic - some agree with my views and some don't. I've done more testing on 11.0.2 and the results still point to my earlier theory. ATB does change for the same 'as-of-date' if some open items get closed later.

I generated the ATB as of 30-Apr-1999 for a customer who had say $1234 as the balance. The customer had an invoice with $1 balance and a payment with -$10 balance. I then applied transactions in order to close this invoice & payment. Then regenerated again - the invoice & payment don't appear in the report any more.

I did look at Payment Schedules table and noticed a field called 'ACTUAL_DATE_CLOSED'. It is populated with 31-dec-4712 for open items and for closed items - the actual date of close. For my 2 transactions noted above, it's populated with 31-AUG-1999 (today).

So I guess it's possible that there's a patch available to the report(as someone indicated in an earlier posting) - which would then not only look for 'Open items', but also closed items, but having ACTUAL_DATE_CLOSED field later than 'AS-OF-DATE'.

I'm sorry if I've misled people in this forum, with my earlier posting.

So please share with the list the patch number which you applied to 'fix' this behaviour. I would very much appreciate that.

Thanks,
Murali

Hello AR experts, Gurus, and Jedi Knights.

When doing this AR conversion to Rel 11 multi-org, I am taking this strategy:

1) Import only open invoices
2) Import Credit memos against open invoices
3) Import cash receipts applied against open invoices
4) Make adjustments to open invoices

This is all fine except in step 3), cash receipts are applied against invoices that are CLOSED, but I don't want to migrate those closed invoices. Then I have to bring their CMs, cash receipts, and adjustments....then their cash receipts will apply to yet more closed invoices etc.

So, how do I deal with the unapplied amounts that I get when bringing in receipts that have amounts applied against closed invoices that I don't want to convert?

Subject: Re: AR: Cash Receipt Conversion

Hi,

I just completed a similar exercise, but in my case, it was from 9.4.2 to 11.

There are some operating units within our company, who took the decision (wise) of bringing over open invoices, credits and receipts with the amount due.

Whereas the operating units I'm helping with wanted to bring open invoices, credits and receipts, but with original amount. Poor me!. So this is what I did. I wrote a PL/SQL program to extract from 9.4.2 - which picks up only open items first. Then it goes within a recursive loop, to read applied transactions against these open items. The recursion I've noted has even gone 7 levels deep.

Anyway once all the open and their applied transactions are available, I write invoices and credits into the format required by Autoinvoice. For receipts, I used Lockbox's maximum capability of having 8 invoices against each receipt. So there's more logic to group upto 8 invoices for a receipt. And if there's more than 8 invoices, the programs prints an output with the application information. Using this output, we would manually apply those invoices to the receipts.

Also the program also prints out all credit memo applications (Autoinvoice can only handle one application per credit memo). So we decided to bring all credit memos as on-account. Using this output, we manually applied invoices to the credit memos.

Anyway, to conclude: You should consider option 1 - bring open items with amount-due. OR do this recursion.

Hope this helps,
Murali

1.Auto Invoice gives the option of calculating the tax automatically using the set up in Apps or pass the tax lines in RA_INTERFACE_LINES_ALL.

2.If the tax calculation flag is set in the transaction type then tax is calculated based on the values for the tax set up for the different segments of the location flexfield.

3.This way only the gross amount of the invoice is passed into the interface table and based on the rates set up in apps the tax is calculated.

4.You can choose to have sales tax or vat tax (predefined) taxes or make a custom tax code and define the location flexfield stucture accordingly.

5.This tax code can be defaulted at the customer level which will be used whenever the customer is picked for the invoice. Hope this is gives you some clue,

Good luck,
Murthy.


Autoinvoice and Child Processes

Hello All,

How does AutoInvoice determine how many child process (instances) to spawn? When I submit the master program, I specified 8 instances, however, the number of child instances that are spawn are inconsistent and is less than 8.

We have a specizlied concurrent manager just for AutoInvoice and it has 10 processes running.

I would appreciate it if someone can shed some light on this issue.

Francis

Call support, I have written a paper on this with the help of Autoinvoice Developer. 8 is your upper bound and it uses one sql to group those like invoices and create the instances.
