3.2.5. Terminology
Term Definition
Oracle Bill Presentment Architecture (BPA) is a new architectural feature that provides
the ability to retrieve billing data from multiple data sources. It provides template-based
configuration of bills for online presentment and printing, including content selection,
layout design, drilldown and grouping capability, and billing template assignment. In
identifying other sources of data, the physically presented bill is no longer limited to
information contained within Oracle Receivables. By separating bill presentment from
transaction accounting, Oracle BPA allows for more understandable and comprehensive
bills, increasing the likelihood and timeliness of bill payment.
• Support of registration of data source views. Ability to select data items from
registered views to be available for billing template design.
• Support of Oracle Receivables transaction flexfields
• Pre-defined data sources include Oracle Receivables, Oracle Service Contracts,
and Oracle Order Management
• Batch print request submission and monitoring via Oracle BPA User Interface
• Batch print request submission and monitoring via Oracle Receivables
• Generation of printed invoice in PDF format

This feature replaces the current cash positioning functionality in Oracle Treasury with an
enhanced Cash Positioning module in Oracle Cash Management, providing a single
access point for both Cash Management and Treasury users to generate their daily cash
positions based on actual cash flows from various Oracle Applications.
The new Cash Positioning module has an improved user interface, being based on the
new Oracle Applications Framework. The new User Interface introduces a cash position
worksheet, which allows more flexibility in the selection of sources to be included in the
cash position. A new source, bank account balance, has been added so that you can
include your actual or projected bank account balances for bank accounts shared between
Oracle Treasury and Oracle Cash Management, as your beginning balance for a cash
position. In addition to the three existing balance types - Ledger Balance, Cash Flow
Balance and Interest Calculated Balance, you will be able to load and import two more
balance types – 1-day float and 2-day float that can be used to offset the opening
balances. You can also enter the target balance for bank accounts shared between Oracle
Treasury and Oracle Cash Management in treasury, for display in the cash position.
Treasury user's can also choose to include subsidiary bank account balances in their cash
position, which are displayed in a separate section in the 'View By Bank Account' page.
The single Treasury Transactions source has been replaced with two new sources –
‘Treasury Inflow’ and ‘Treasury Outflow’. The new Cash Positioning module allows you
to generate daily cash positions by bank account and by currency by including actual
cash flows from Oracle Payables, Oracle Receivables, Oracle Treasury and Oracle
Payroll. You can include intra-day transactions that have been loaded and imported into
Oracle Cash Management, user-defined inflows and outflows and data from your legacy
systems through the External Cash flow Open Interface.
Using the newly updated cash positioning module, you can view your daily cash position
for a range of currencies and bank accounts, drill down to the source transaction details,
exclude detail transactions from the cash position, drill down to the details of intra-day
activities, compare the bank reported intra-day activities with the system calculated net
cash flow and generate exposures in treasury for the differences, refresh the cash position
online, view the target balance and the difference between the projected closing balance
and target balance per bank account, initiate inter-account funds transfers, export the cash
position results to an external application like Excel and view the cash position in a
discoverer workbook to analyze the results further.
Additionally, from the cash position results, you can generate Balance Gapping for any
currency included in the cash position over a given date range to identify gaps in your
Lastly, the consolidated module applies Oracle Treasury's Legal Entity security when
treasury users create and view cash positions. For Cash Management users, the Treasury
Inflow and Treasury Outflow sources along with the features of Balance Gapping and
Funds Transfer are not available.
This enhancement merges Oracle Treasury's Cash Forecasting module with Oracle Cash
Management to streamline the creation and generation of cash forecasts and in the
process eliminates dual development and maintenance. The consolidated cash forecasting
module has an improved user interface, being based on the new Oracle Applications
Framework. The new user interface allows more flexible entry of forecast templates,
giving you the option to setup forecast templates for forecasting by days either manually
or automatically. You can also copy forecast templates as well as template rows within a
template. The existing single forecast source of Treasury Transactions has been split into
two to distinguish between inflows and outflows and the new sources are named–
“Treasury Inflow” and “Treasury Outflow” respectively. The consolidated module also
provides you the option to view forecast results by bank account and by GL Cash
Position in addition to the regular transaction source view. You can do this by choosing
the option to view the opening balance either by bank account, by GL Cash Position or
both, when submitting the forecast. If you choose to view the opening balance by bank
account, you must also specify the type of bank account balance and the float for
offsetting the balance. Treasury user's can also choose to include subsidiary bank account
balances in their forecast results. The forecast results will be grouped either by bank
account name and number or the GL Cash Account for transactions sources that have a
bank account associated to them. Projected cash flow sources like Sales Order, Invoices
etc. do not have a bank account associated to them and will be grouped under a heading
called “Other” and displayed in a separate row. You can also drill down to the details of
transactions per bank account or per GL Cash Account. This new feature allows you to
project the closing bank account balance or GL Cash Position for your forecast horizon.
The GL Cash Position is no longer available as a transaction source as it is now
incorporated into the forecast submission parameters as a view option.
Additionally, from the forecast results by transaction source page you can choose to
exclude rows from summary calculation, drill-down to source transaction details, exclude
transactions from summary cash flows and add new transactions manually to the cash
flows. You also have the ability to export both the details and the summary cash flows to
an external application like Excel and to view the cash forecast in a Discoverer
Workbook to analyze the results further.
Lastly, the consolidated module applies Oracle Treasury's Legal Entity security when
treasury users create and view forecasts. For Cash Management users, the two sources of
Treasury Inflow and Treasury Outflow are not available for forecasting.
Oracle Cash Management provides support for various payment formats like NACHA,
BACS etc. for Payroll EFT Payments reconciliation. In order to use this feature, you will
first need to define the transaction code that specifies the payroll payment format. When
defining a transaction code with a payment format, the ‘Payroll Matching Order’ field
will show the order you need to define your BANK_TRX_NUMBER format in your
bank statement-mapping template. You will then need to either update or define a new
bank statement-mapping template to enter the Format for the BANK_TRX_NUMBER
with the format that is needed to identify the EFT payments.
Multiple identifiers might be needed to identify EFT payments. You will need to
determine what the identifiers are and enter the Format for the BANK_TRX_NUMBER
with the formats that are needed to identify the EFT payments. The format should be
entered in the order specified by the Payroll Matching Order assigned to the transaction
code setup for Payroll EFT payments. Once the setup is complete you can load, import
and reconcile bank statements containing Payroll EFT payments.
The Bank Purging Program also kicks off the Bank Purging Execution Report that
displays bank records that are processed by the program.
To expedite the generation of a cash position, you can now specify in your cash position
worksheet the option to use pre-calculated prior day cash flow balances instead of
generating real-time prior day cash flow balances. To utilize this option, you will need to
select ‘Yes’ for the ‘Use Calculated Prior Day Cash Flow and Overdue Transactions
Balances’ field in the worksheet and run the Cash Position Prior Day Cash Flow and
Overdue Transactions program to calculate your prior day balances as well as the
overdue transactions, prior to generating your cash position. You can choose to run the
Cash Position Prior Day Cash Flow and Overdue Transactions program manually or you
can have the program run automatically according to the schedule you define. In addition
to calculating prior day and overdue transaction balances, the Cash Position Prior Day
Lastly, the existing discoverer workbook for cash position results has been replaced with
four simplified workbooks for ease of use. The four new workbooks are: Cash Position
with Surplus / (Deficit), Cash Position with Closing Balance, Cash Position with Surplus
/ (Deficit) using Calculated Prior Day Cash Flow and Overdue Transactions and Cash
Position with Closing Balance using Calculated Prior Day Cash Flow and Overdue
Transactions.

Oracle Enterprise Planning and Budgeting is a new application that delivers scalable
planning and analysis, offering sophisticated data modeling and multi-dimensional
analysis in a web environment, tailored for each customer's own business processes.
Enterprise Planning and Budgeting enables you to understand the business better by
providing analysis tools to increase visibility into your organization. A framework to
manage the critical business processes of budgeting and forecasting allows you to define
the rules, tasks, and schedules, ensuring that you control these planning processes and
achieve consensus when looking forward. The application enforces consistency while
supporting decentralized flexibility. With ongoing monitoring of the business included,
you tune plans to improve results and hold individuals accountable.
Tools are provided to analyze the data by switching between a crosstab and graph,
changing the layout of the report, applying formatting and stoplight rules, sorting the
data, applying previously saved selections, annotating the data, and including custom
calculations, all through the user interface. Calculation templates enable the users to
create variance, share, reference, time-based, and currency translation calculations within
a report, and then share those calculations with other users. Users can format and
annotate individual cells in order to highlight and explain and the data. There are 54
graph types available, including bar, line, area, pie, 3D, combined, bubble, scatter, and
pareto charts.
Users can print the reports, and export them out to HTML, Microsoft Excel, or Oracle
Reports to create or update briefing books.
11i10 Release Content Document, Rev. 11 Oracle Enterprise Planning & Budgeting 15
• Data model
First, the user chooses the time horizon for the plan and the other dimensions to be
included.
• Solve
Then the user specifies the data processing parameters: the source of each line item
(loaded, input through a worksheet, calculated, or initialized from another view), the
levels at which the data is expected to come in, the levels at which the user wants the
data available at the end of the business process, and any calculations, hierarchies,
and allocation rules, tied to the chart of accounts. From this, Enterprise Planning and
Budgeting analyzes the dependencies between the line items and builds up the solve
map, which is the list of data processing steps that will be executed automatically for
the cycle.
• Tasks
Then the user specifies which tasks are to be included, such as load data, generate a
worksheet, distribute a worksheet, manage worksheet submissions, solve the data,
run an exception alert, and update reports with the current version of the budget.
• Schedule
Finally, the user specifies the schedule of the business process: how frequently it is to
be run, and how many historic versions of the budget are to be kept.
Analyst users can also add their own exception alerts to a business process.
Once the business processes have been defined, Enterprise Planning and Budgeting
monitors their schedules and initiates a new process run of each business process
appropriately. The tasks are controlled by Oracle Workflow, and this automation reduces
the cycle time. For example, when an exception alert task is encountered, Enterprise
Planning and Budgeting evaluates the exception, notifies the accountable users for the
exception, and asks for an explanation; that explanation is then routed through to the
user’s manager for approval. Another example of automation is the loading of data from
the underlying FEM schema, into which data from any source, Oracle and non-Oracle,
can be introduced.
Users can monitor the process runs and view the status of each one, its tasks, any
bottlenecks, and the overall flow. They can pause and resume process runs, and disable
and enable business processes appropriately. Lifecycle changes in the business, such as
new analysis by customer, or changes to the input levels in a solve, can be reflected by
updating the business processes, with all reports and graphs automatically reflecting this
immediately.
To assist the user in entering the data, tools are available within the worksheet to change
the layout; to grow, increase, and spread the data; to create calculations and aggregate the
data; to create personal dimension members and extend the hierarchies accordingly; and
to recalculate the data with the underlying solve. Before the data is finalized, the user can
11i10 Release Content Document, Rev. 11 Oracle Enterprise Planning & Budgeting 16
save the worksheet and the data and, when it is ready, finally submit the worksheet data.
Users can further distribute the worksheet to other users who report to them. When a
worksheet is submitted, it is routed to the appropriate manager for approval.
Data security is set for each user by the Security Administrator in terms of data
ownership, read access, and write access. Data ownership determines for what data a user
is accountable; this is used for distributing worksheets, and routing exception alerts,
worksheet submissions, and approvals. Read access determines what data a user can
view: users accessing the same report or worksheet will see different rows and columns
based on their read access. Write access determines what data a user can change in a
worksheet.
Report security is essentially governed by the user’s privilege on the report: to view,
change, or share the report with other users. Report privileges can be set individually or
can be inherited from the report’s folder.

3.6. Oracle Financial Globalizations
3.6.1. Overview
Oracle develops, packages and releases centrally and concurrently one global
applications product that meets the business requirements of national and multinational
users worldwide. Oracle's globalization strategy is simple - to provide deliver a single,
seamless solution to allow organizations to compete globally, while managing their
business locally.
The Argentine Federal Tax Authority has introduced new tax reporting requirements,
through Resolucion General 1361 (RG 1361). Within the new reporting
requirements, there are two statutory flat files (one for Sales and one for Purchasing)
that must be generated plus two optional flat files. All four flat files are now available
for companies to meet the new requirements.
The following new reports have been created to support supplier account
management and periodic financial reporting activities:
The Polish Supplier Statement prints invoices, payments and prepayments for a given
supplier and range of dates. The report prints information in functional and entered
currencies. You can specify letter text to be printed in the header of the report, so that
the report may be sent to suppliers in response to inquiries.
The Polish Trial Balance Reports support the preparation of periodic financial
reports. They provide details on current and prior period activity, beginning of year
balances, year to date balances and net balances. The Polish Trial Balance Report
prints information for each accounting flexfield combination, while the Polish Trial
Balance Report by Natural Account prints the information by natural account value.
In addition, the following EFT formats are supported for Poland in 11i10:
The Polish Pekao Standard Multicash Format is designed to support the Multicash
EFT format published by Pekao for standard payment orders (polecenia zapłaty).
The Polish Citibank MTMS Format can be printed for domestic transfers where the
user has an account with Citibank Poland, and has an agreement to use the Citibank
Micro Transaction Management System.
Use the Greek General Ledger Trial Balance report to report on detailed balances
(debits/credits) for all posted transactions in General Ledger by account class
hierarchy.
The report displays, for each account class hierarchy, the cumulative totals and
balances (debited or credited) before the start of the reporting period, the total
transactions during the reporting period (debits and credits), and the Year-To-Date
totals and balances (debits and credits).
The following new reports have been created to support analysis, dunning and VAT
reporting requirements in East Central European markets:
The ECE VAT Registers replace the 11.5.9 Hungarian and Polish VAT Registers.
They are also designed to meet requirements expressed in the Czech and Slovak
markets. The reports print transaction information by VAT Transaction Type, a
classification of the tax code. They are run based on a user-specified VAT reporting
calendar and can be run in preliminary, final or reprint mode for a given VAT
reporting period.
The ECE Account Analysis Detail Report displays journals in foreign and functional
currency for a given range of periods and accounting flexfield combinations. Users
can restrict the report by entered currency and journal source, and can also specify a
report sequence number to be printed on the report to satisfy statutory document
numbering requirements in Poland.
The Regional Dunning Letter combines the efficiency and utility of localized
reporting with the flexibility of dunning letters. Users can specify dunning text to be
printed at the header of each letter. The body of the report provides details such as
foreign and functional currency amount as well as due date and days late, on unpaid
transactions. The report can be run as of a given date allowing for flexible business
planning.
The following reports were enhanced in release 11i10 to meet requirements raised in
East Central European countries:
The Receivables Credit Balances Report can be used to identify the open balance for
a customer or range of customers. This report has been enhanced to provide
information by receivables account for each customer. You can also choose to sort
the report by receivables account first, and by customer within each receivables
account. In this case, the total amount attributed to On-Account and Unapplied
receipts is printed for each on-account/unapplied account.
The RXi: Fixed Assets Register Report has been enhanced to include even more asset
information such as tag number, serial number, depreciation method, and prorate
convention. This report puts the information at your fingertips, allowing you to
arrange it in the format that best suits your needs.
No update in 11i10.
The Interface Data Transformer offers a variety of ways to transform data in the
GL_INTERFACE table. You can use string functions to parse and concatenate
substrings, reference lookup tables to convert one value into another, or call PL/SQL
functions to perform sophisticated transformations. You can even define conditions to
control when transformation rules are applied and validate the results of the
transformation through value sets and lookup tables. This flexibility makes it easier for
you to integrate non-Oracle systems into Oracle General Ledger.
The Oracle Workflow Business Event System is an application service that leverages the
Oracle Advanced Queuing (AQ) infrastructure to communicate business events among
systems within an enterprise as well as between enterprises. The Business Event System
consists of the Event Manager, which lets you register subscriptions to events that are
significant to your systems, and event activities, which let you model business events
within workflow process. For more information, please refer to documentation on the
Oracle Workflow product.
XBRL is an open specification for software that uses eXtensible Markup Language
(XML) data tags to standardize financial reporting across industries, regulatory bodies,
and geographies.
You can link FSG reports to XBRL taxonomies, enabling the automatic creation of
XBRL instance documents. The ability to create reports in XBRL allows you to prepare,
publish and exchange financial information across all software formats and technologies
in a consistent standards-based manner for easy distribution, analysis, and comparison.
For daily conversion rates, you can automatically upload daily rates from a spreadsheet or
manage rates using the web-based interface. Currency Rates Manager can even
automatically calculate the cross rates between two or more currencies to ensure
consistency in daily conversion rates across currencies. For example, if you define rates
from U.S. dollars to euros, and from U.S. dollars to Japanese Yen, the Currency Rates
Manager can calculate the cross rate between euros and yen, and the inverse rate from
yen to euros. This ensures that intercompany transactions across multiple currencies are
accounted for with consistent rates, minimizing the effect of exchange rate differences
during the intercompany elimination process. Automatic generation of cross rates also
reduces the number of currency combinations and rates that you must enter manually,
thus enabling you to work more efficiently.
For historical rates, you can automatically upload rates from a spreadsheet, or you can
automatically download rates into a spreadsheet. The ability to download historical rates
into a spreadsheet enables you to modify the rates if necessary, and copy them from one
set of books to another for ease of maintenance. Added security is provided to ensure
that you can only upload historical rates to periods that are open.
Now, you can control whether a Step-Down Allocation process should continue
processing even if one of the steps did not generate a journal entry. By setting a new
profile option, you can instruct Step-Down Allocation Sets to continue processing to the
end of the Allocation Set.
Screens were consolidated and made larger to display more data at once using fewer
windows. While primarily cosmetic, these enhancements will improve speed and ease of
use for all types of users who enter and manage these key financial transactions. Oracle
General Ledger enhanced the Enter Journals Workbench with these improvements.

3.10.2. Features
The Notes functionality works with enhanced audit processing. Line level audit issues
used in shortpay, adjust, and reject flows are summarized in the expense report notes. The
auditor can mark an expense line level issue with an audit issue code. This information is
available for the preparer in the workflow notification and is visible in the application in
the notes. In addition, a new configurable client extension supports getting information
from other sources into the notes.
• Ability to request from the preparer more information regarding the entire
expense report, without rejecting it. The preparer can respond via workflow or
withdraw the report to make corrections.
• Ability to set up audit issue codes to communicate line level issues to the
preparer in the short-pay, adjust, and reject flows. This minimizes the auditor
data entry, streamlines the audit process and helps standardize the expense
business process. Audit issues with 'canned' instruction text are shown to the
preparer in the workflow notification and in expenses entry notes.
• A new Receive Receipt Packages page allows the audit clerk just to capture the
receipt package received date and report a filing number without the need to
query the expense report lines.
Employees can use these total amounts to determine how much they owe to the card
issuer in the Both Pay scenario. They can use the page to verify that the credit card load
contains the same transactions as the card issuer records. By looking at the status of
transactions and the totals, employees can also tell if they have not yet categorized and
expensed specific transactions.
You can also seamlessly change the scenario for a card program to another scenario. The
card program's payment scenario setting is stamped on transactions at the time they are
loaded, so that the card program's payment scenario can change over time without
affecting transactions already loaded. If there are multiple payment scenarios, the
payment scenario is shown in the Select Credit Card Transactions page of expenses entry.
Oracle Internet Expenses process owners have the option to automatically activate the
card so employees can immediately use the transactions during expenses entry, or to just
assign the card but not activate automatically. A new Web-based page gives
administrators the ability to assign new cards to employees if not automatically matched,
as well as to activate the cards.
• Back Button Support: You can now use either the browser ‘Back’ button or the
application ‘Back’ and ‘Next’ buttons, to go back and make changes while
entering an expense report, except if the report is submitted or items deleted.

Seamless B2B transactions over the Internet are now a reality with Oracle iReceivables.
Oracle iReceivables, an Internet-based account management application, helps reduce the
cost structure of billing and collections by providing a company's customers with the
ability to access their accounts online. Customers can perform extensive inquiries,
dispute bills, pay invoices, and review account balances. Bill disputes are automatically
routed and processed, eliminating the need for intermediaries or paper-based claims
management, allowing companies to save money, reduce processing time and improve
customer service. All transactions accessible via Oracle iReceivables are protected by
Oracle’s standard Self-Service Web applications security.
The intuitive user interface provides users with simple and effective access to
Receivables data. The practical, Web-based look and feel, is consistent with other Oracle
Self-Service applications, and offers distinct navigation indicators and a new step-by-step
process flow.

suite. This restructuring facilitates the utilization of the 'Report eXchange Interface' (RXi)
mechanism whereby the user defines the output and layout of the resultant report to suit
their own individual business needs. The functionality provided within a flexible user
definable framework mirrors the 'Drilldown' capability offered via the journal screen
from the Accrual Set of Books and will facilitate the completion of the audit trial between
GL and the sub ledgers.

3.17.2.3. Oracle Purchasing Integration with Contract Budgetary Control
Two new features are added to this requirement; Integration with Purchase Orders and a
Year End process:
The commitment model introduces the concept of dual budgetary control. The
commitment budgetary control is a subset of the standard budgetary control where only
encumbrance expenditures (not actuals) are evaluated against the commitment budget.
Commitment or dual budgetary control can now be enforced on Oracle Purchasing
documents like requisitions, purchase orders and releases. In the commitment model
requisitions and/or purchase orders continue to represent commitment and/or obligation
encumbrances against the standard budget while the same requisition and/or purchase
order is simultaneously represented as two different types of encumbrances (defined in
CBC product) against the commitment budget. If dual budgetary control is enabled for
the Purchasing documents, funds will be checked and reserved in the standard and
commitment budgets simultaneously. Depending on the setup done, the transaction will
be deemed as successful only if sufficient funds were available in both the budgets.
The Purchasing Year End process is a concurrent process that has been added to be able
to move any outstanding purchasing encumbrance from one year to the next in the
standard and commitment budgets. Unlike the standard Oracle ‘Carrying Forward Year-
End Encumbrances’ process, the Purchasing year-end process carries forward the
encumbrances at the transaction level.

3.18. Oracle Receivables
3.18.1. Overview
Oracle Receivables has everything you need to streamline your credit to cash process, the
flexibility to meet the demands of a global market, and the strong financial controls and
strategic information to keep pace in today’s economy.
If you are integrating with Oracle Marketing Online's Trade Management to track and
resolve claims, then Automatic Claim Creation lets you automatically create claims for
short payments, overpayments, and invalid transactions through AutoLockbox. Using
AutoLockbox, you can create claims in high volume, thus shortening the time to
resolution and reducing the total cost of ownership of deductions management.
Depending on how you run your business, you can choose whether or not you want to
create claims for invalid transactions, credit memos, and negative and positive claims.
In addition, claim functionality has been enhanced to accept and store customer reason
codes through AutoLockbox and in the Receipt Applications window. Using Trade
Management, you can map these reason codes to your organization's internal codes.
Oracle Trade Management users can now apply short payments or overpayments on
remittances to open claims on other receipts. A Receivables clerk can seamlessly resolve
open cash without the hassle of jumping to various forms.
You can now manually write-off underpayments on receipts. This functionality includes
the ability to set approval limits for write-off amounts at the user and system level. This
can be done in Receivables and from Oracle Trade Management.
When credits are due to a customer, you must decide whether to refund associated
payments or use the cash to reduce other outstanding items on the customer's account. To
handle such situations promptly and efficiently, use the new Automated Receipts
Handling for Credits feature. You can set the receipt handling policy to automatically
refund credit card payments, or apply receipts to on-account cash.
When refunding, some credits require careful investigation before funds are returned to
the customer. Oracle Receivables recognizes when user intervention is required and
automatically places questionable items on account. Depending on the outcome of the
investigation, you can then initiate the refund or choose another receipt application.
You can also set your enterprise's credit card refund minimum. Amounts less than the
minimum are placed on account, letting you manage these receipts according to your
business practices.
• User-created exceptions that you can apply to specific approvers or specific types
of transactions
• Automatic currency conversion to your functional currency so that you can use
standardized rules with multiple business scenarios
The enhanced workflow also includes notification to the collector and salesperson of the
final resolution of the credit request.
Prepayments may be partially or fully refunded, either directly to a charged credit card or
by placing receipts on account.
This provides you with an efficient approach to settling open cash, because it eliminates
the need to open multiple receipts to apply on-account and unapplied cash. From just one
receipt, you can apply one receipt to another open receipt, and the balances and
accounting are automatically updated on both receipts.
In addition, if you use Oracle Marketing Online's Trade Management to manage claims,
then you can now apply to receipts that have open claim investigations, which will in turn
update amounts, or cancel claims, in Trade Management. This lets you net
underpayments with overpayments in the system. For example, you might do this if you
determined that a short payment on a remittance was due to an overpayment on another
receipt that resulted in a claim investigation.
Note: If you use Oracle Credit Management, assignment and maintenance of credit
classifications in Oracle Receivables is controlled by Credit Management.

Oracle Federal Financials, founded in public sector technology, brings over two decades
of expertise to the more than 2,000 government agencies it serves worldwide. With the
industry's only full complement of solutions and services for connecting governments and
citizens through internet computing, Oracle software powers today's high-performance e-
governments.
3.20.2.8. Reason Codes for Credit Memos, Cancelled and Returned Invoices
The form, Assign Reason Codes and Invoice Returns, captures the reason for credit
memos and cancelled invoices. The appropriate reason code can be entered for each
invoice falling in the before mentioned categories. The list of values for the reason code
field contains user-defined reason codes.
If the value in the Finance Charge Transaction Date parameter is the "System Date," then
the Finance charge debit memos will use the System Date as the Transaction Date. If the
value in the Finance Charge Transaction Date parameter is the "Original Invoice Due
Date," then the Finance charge debit memos will use the Due Date of the Invoice as the
Transaction Date. If the value in the Finance Charge Transaction Date parameter is the
"Original Invoice Date," then the Finance charge debit memos will use the Transaction
Date of the Invoice as the Transaction Date.
The new parameters do not impact the date from which the finance charge is calculated.
For the receivables instance, this profile indicates to the system whether to treat the
events of cash receipt and cash application as two distinct events or to treat them as one
event, when performed at the same time and for the same dollar amount. If the profile is
“Yes”, the system will generate the accounting entries as if two events occurred – a cash
receipt event and a cash application event. An unapplied cash accounting entry is created
for the cash receipt event and reversed in the cash application event. If the profile is
"No" and the user receives and fully applies the cash amount, the additional unapplied
cash accounting entries that are created for the two events are eliminated.
When the profile is set to “Yes”, the Multi-Fund AR programs will reverse the
core receivable accounting entries and re-allocate the invoice amount to the receivables
accounts based on the revenue distributions. When a cash receipt is applied to an invoice
the cash and receivable accounting entries are reversed and re-allocated to the cash and
receivables accounts using the fund values from the revenue lines of the invoice. If the
profile is “No” and an invoice is manually entered or the cash receipt is fully applied, the
original entry and additional reversing accounting entries that are created are eliminated.
Instead only the re-allocated entry is made. This eliminates the additional accounting
entries in General Ledger for manually entered invoices and fully applied cash receipts.
For the Receiving instance, this profile indicates to the system whether to treat the events
of goods receipt and direct delivery as two distinct events or to treat them as one event,
when performed at the same time and for the same quantity of goods. If the profile is set
The Prepayment tab in the Federal Options window has an Enforce Tolerance checkbox
and the fields “Tolerance % “and “Advance Limit”. When matching a prepayment to a
purchase order the “Enforce Tolerance” checkbox and “Tolerance %” fields are used to
see if the tolerance has been exceeded. If the “Enforce Tolerance” checkbox is selected,
the “Tolerance %” cannot be exceeded. If the “Enforce Tolerance” checkbox is not
selected, the user receives a warning message when the “Tolerance %” is exceeded.
The FV: Split Invoice Distribution for prepayment application profile allows users to
enter one invoice distribution line to record total expenses, apply any outstanding
advances against these expenses, and generate the appropriate accounting to correspond
to each event. This profile can be established at the site and application level.
The Payables tab in the Federal Options window has an “Enforce Tolerance” checkbox
and a “Shipment Tolerance %” field. When matching an invoice to a purchase order, the
“Enforce Tolerance” checkbox and “Tolerance %” fields are used to see if the “Shipment
Tolerance %” has been exceeded. Payables invokes the AP Max Shipment Amount Hold
on the invoice if the shipment lines exceed the tolerance percentage.
The FACTS Transaction Register will show dates from the transaction date descriptive
flexfield attributes assigned on Federal System Parameters window. Otherwise, the
FACTS Transaction Register will show the creation date of the document for requisitions
and purchase orders and the receipt date for receiving transactions.
Because of Treasury’s implementation schedule, some agencies will be using SPS and
others will be using ECS to submit the payments to the RFCs. The target date for FMS to
start migrating agencies from ECS to SPS is now late calendar year 2003-2004 and FMS
has not established a schedule for every agency. They are hoping the entire cutover
occurs within 6 months (start to finish), but it definitely should not exceed 9 months.
In order to address this new functionality, Oracle U.S. Federal Financials will incorporate
the following SPS formats together with the new file layouts:
Oracle U.S. Federal Financials will incorporate the Sender Treasury Account Symbol
(TAS) and Sender Standard General Ledger (SGL) account information on the IPAC
transactions and reports in accordance with the IPAC bulk file format layout changes.
See FMS Website Release 2.1 for layouts.
• advance flag
• transfer - department ID
Typically, these attributes are derived from the Enter Appropriations form. However, in
the cases where transactions are entered directly into the General Ledger, the attribute
values will not be available for reporting. In addition, the Define System Parameters
form was modified to include these fields on the form and allow users to designate the
descriptive flexfield attribute columns that will capture the values on the GL Journal
Lines DFF. This feature is very similar to the way the FACTS I trading partner is
currently extracted from the GL Journal Line DFF.
In addition, U.S. Federal Financials will also include another new FACTS II reporting
requirement for Apportion Category A. This new requirement for Category A is the
same as the current requirement for Category B. The difference is that OMB will provide
valid Program Reporting Categories from which the users will be able to choose. The
OMB list of Program Reporting Categories will serve as a control table or as a reference
table in FACTS II. However, if OMB does not provide specific Program Reporting
Categories, then the Federal Program Agencies can use the default program reporting
number “99” and description “All Programs” or the user can use their own program
reporting number and description to report obligation activity.
Oracle Lease Management automates the lease creation and management process to
provide equipment-leasing companies with a global view and control over the entire lease
and loan lifecycle. It enables leasing organizations to bring innovative lease and loan
products to market and offers instant visibility into all lease and loan information across
the lessor’s enterprise.

the asset on the behalf of the customer.
Vendors can view the following Program Customer Lease Contract Fee and Service
details on behalf of the customer:
• Fee Line details (e.g., amount, effective dates, recurring basis – if applicable)
Vendors can view disbursements you have paid to them. Disbursements for the cost
of the equipment, services and fees may be prepared manually or generated
automatically through pass-throughs. Typically, vendors may view disbursement
history related to a specific customer account or to a specific Program Customer
Lease Contract.
Vendors can view and update the usage meter (for an asset or a group of assets) on
the Program Customer Lease Contract. Usage Meter information includes the
following:
Vendors can track the status of returned assets to determine assets available for
repurchase.
Vendors can view the following information about the security deposit paid by the
customer:
• How the security deposit will be refunded (e.g., through credit memo or
netting against the termination proceeds of the contract)
Vendors can view amortization schedules for their customer’s loan contracts with a
breakdown of interest and principal for each payment on a loan contract. Customers
may need the amortization schedule for their internal accounting purposes.
Vendors can generate and view the variable interest rate statement for the customer’s
variable interest rate loan contracts. The statement shows the interest rates that the
contract was subject to during the date range specified by the vendor.
Vendors can view and request quotes for Termination, Restructure, Renewal,
Insurance and Repurchase.
View and Request Termination Quotes
Vendors can view all restructure quotes requested in the past and the quote status
(e.g., Accepted, Expired, etc.)
View and Request Renewal Quotes
Vendors can request renewal quotes for the Program Customer Lease Contract on
behalf of the customer. Vendors can also view the list of all renewal quotes that have
been requested in the past and to see the status on each of these quotes (e.g.,
Accepted, Expired, etc.).
View and Request Insurance Quotes
Vendors can request an insurance quote (lease and optional) for the Program
Customer Lease Contract on behalf of the customer. They can view the list of all
insurance quotes that have been requested in the past and to see the status on each of
those quotes (e.g., Accepted, Expired, etc.)
View and Request Repurchase Quotes
To mitigate the residual value risk of the assets on the lease, vendors may enter into
repurchase agreements with you. Vendors can request Repurchase Quotes for
returned assets that have an associated repurchase agreement. Vendors can view all
restructure quotes requested in the past and the quote status (e.g., Accepted, Expired,
etc.)
The residual value amount recorded on the financial asset line of the contract is the
anticipated cash inflow.
The inflow is expected to take place on the end date of the contract.
Securitize Streams by Subclass
Lease Management has seeded two subclasses, Rent and Residual. Rent, Advanced
Rent and Interim Rent streams are associated with the Rent subclass. Residual Value
streams are associated with the Residual subclass. In the past, you selected the
You can create disbursements to pay investors for all the elements included in the
securitization:
Process Disbursements for Residual Securitization
You can process disbursements for residual securitization. The sale of assets creates
an asset disposal stream. The disbursement process processes these streams to create
payable invoices to the investor.
Calculate Disbursement on a Different Yield than the Contract Yield
You can process disbursements with different yield to investor. The amount paid to
investors is defined on the investor agreement instead of being calculated on the lease
contract yield.
Process Disbursement Based on Early Termination, Asset Disposal, Evergreen and Rebook
You can process disbursements for rent upon early termination. The contract
obligation in is treated as rent paid by the lessee. The disbursement functionality
processes these streams to create payable invoices to the investor. You can also
process disbursements based on asset disposal, evergreen and rebook.
Process Disbursement for Late Charge and Late Interest
You can process disbursements for late charge and late interest. You can define the
share of late interest and late charge to be paid to the investor.
• Split contracts
• Released assets / contracts
4.1.2.3. Subsidies
Subsidies and discounts are often exchanged between the lessor and third parties on a
deal to adjust the lessee’s rate or supplement the lessor’s income. Vendors and
manufacturers may offer you discounts or subsidies in exchange for a reduction in the
interest rate paid by their customers for leases of the vendor’s or manufacturer’s
equipment.
Some subsidies come in the form of discounts offered directly to the lessor. These may or
may not be disclosed to the lessee depending on the type of leasing transaction. Such
arrangements allow vendors and manufacturers to protect pricing discounts from the
market that might have a negative impact on equipment pricing for their equipment sales.
Other subsidies take the form of additional income direct to the lessor as a way to lower
the lessee’s effective (borrowing) rate. Lessees may even bring such subsidies to the deal
in order to obtain the best rates. These types of subsidies are often billed by the lessor and
then amortized as income over the life of the deal.
You can pre-define subsidy processing and calculation attributes as well as the
conditions under which the subsidy may be applied, such as valid contract products,
contract attributes, customer attributes, equipment attributes, sales territories or dates.
During asset creation, you select from a list of values that presents only the subsidies
that are valid for the contract or quote asset being created.
You enter subsidies for individual assets on quotes and contracts. From the list of
applicable subsidies, you can select one or more subsidies for each asset and define
the subsidy provider (vendor). Lease Management booking validations also check if
the subsidy is valid for the selected contract and customer during contract activation.
Users define the basis on which the subsidy amount is calculated. Users may elect to
specify a fixed amount or calculate the amount based on a formula, a percent of the
asset cost or a rate contribution.
During an asset split (or process that uses asset split feature) the subsidy stream is
split so each asset maintains the same proportion of income. Subsidies are also
recalculated during rebook revisions.
You can override the calculated subsidy amount and enter any subsidy amount during
asset creation occurring during original bookings or rebook revisions.
Upon funding, for discount type subsidies, Lease Management maintains the amount
of the subsidy on the payable invoice by individual lines with reference to the stream
type so it can be separately accounted. When you bill third party subsidies, Lease
Management maintains the amount of the subsidy on the receivable invoice by
individual lines with reference to the stream type so it can be separately accounted.
Configurable Accounting Method
Depending on the subsidy you set up, Lease Management generates an amortization
stream for each subsidy for accrual accounting purposes or transfers assets to Oracle
Assets at the adjusted book cost for discount type subsidies.
When you generate the accrual stream, Lease Management maintains reference to the
subsidy accrual stream type so accrual amounts can be directed to separate accounts.
You associate a separate stream type to the subsidy for accrual purposes.
Process Subsidy at Early Termination
When you terminate an asset with subsidies early (before contract expiration), Lease
Management does not include the subsidy amount in any termination quote. It
determines if the subsidy must be paid back to the provider (recourse). If you set up
If you set up the subsidy so customers can view it, you are able to view the
Subsidized Cost of the Asset in the Lease Center and in Customer Self-Service.
During contract authoring, you determine the type of to create on the contract. Oracle
Lease Management renders the appropriate fee screens appropriately to capture the
correct details. The type of fee chosen determines certain fee conditions:
• The fee attributes that you can enter to ensure consistency with the
characteristics of the fee type chosen;
Contract Interest Rate Includes Payment Income for Financed and Income Fees
Stream generation pricing factors include payment income and funding amounts in
the calculation of interest rates for Financed Fee and Income Fee contracts.
Contract Yield Includes Payment Income and Funding Cost/Expense
Stream generation includes payment income and funding cost or expense in the
calculation of yields for Financed Fee, Absorbed Fee and Income Fee contracts.
Generates Required Streams for New Fee Types
• Financed Fee amortization and billing schedules, plus accrual streams
Oracle Lease Management helps you control fee authoring by automatically renders
screens with the appropriate fields and buttons to enter the fee attributes required for
the Fee Type selected.
Oracle Lease Management applies screen validation rules to the fee attributes entered
by the user. QA Checker ensures that fees and the associated payments entered are
consistent with the Fee Types selected.
The credit manager can create a Checklist of required activities (tasks, documents
and approvals) to be completed prior to activating a credit line or approving a
funding request. The Checklist helps protect you from unnecessary risk when
extending credit to a customer.
Funding checklists are used when activating credit lines and requesting fundings.
You can associate the checklist to a credit line for activities to be completed prior to
credit line activation, or you can associate checklist to a credit line for activities to be
completed prior to funding approval for requests associated to the credit line.
You can assign the authority to update Checklist activities through responsibility
profiles. This strengthens your internal controls through segregation of duties.
The credit analyst might determine the requirements for the checklist during the
credit evaluation. The funding checklist is not part of the analysis and
recommendation process within Oracle Credit Management or the integration
between Oracle Lease Management and Oracle Credit Management. This
enhancement scope is limited to the set up and execution of credit line and funding
request checklists within Oracle Lease Management.
You can set up new contract party roles that are sourced from one of the following
party repositories:
You can expose the new party roles for use in the following contract categories:
Lease: For instance, contracts with subclass “Lease” which can carry various lease
classifications.
You create new parties using the new role types during authoring a contract in one of
the above categories. During the creation of these parties, the party names and details
are sourced based on the party repository defined for that party role.
You can view any user defined party roles on the lease contract in the Lease Center.
When a vendor program agreement is associated to a lease contract, the lease vendor
from the vendor program is automatically defaulted as a “Lease Vendor” party on the
lease contract.

You can change the Tax Exempt fields at the Asset level in the Lease Center.
Originally, these information fields were displayed only for asset fields. You may
update these post-booking with proper authorization.
You can add update and delete parties on a contract in the Lease Center. You can
view any user defined party roles on the lease contract in the Lease Center.
While the OA Framework migration requirement stems from internal sources, this
provides an opportunity to improve process flow and incorporate new enhancements
for sales origination. The OA Framework re-engineering for sales origination re-
design includes enhancements to the following:
• Quote Entry
• Pricing
• Credit Requests
In addition to the lease sales quote screens, existing pricing set up screens were made
compliant with BLAF standards in the OA Framework technology stack. The screens
include:
• Item Residuals
The flow of lease quoting was improved while making the lease origination screens
compliant with the BLAF (Browser Look and Feel) standards
• Enter payments and expenses for fees and services on the same screen
• Enter asset add-ons and subsidies through summary tables on the asset details
page
4.1.2.8.4. Subsidies
Configure Calculation and Processing Attributes
You select a subsidy (e.g., blind discount) for an asset line using a new screen located
in the contract asset line.
Configure Applicability Rules (Industry, Items, Territories)
The list of values is filtered so you can only select values that apply to the customer,
quote and asset line. For example, you are only able to select those subsidies
available for customers within certain industries and for certain items, depending on
how the subsidy is set up.
Compare Yields based on both Subsidized and Unsubsidized Pricing
The amount of the subsidy is included in the pricing calculation of the payment plan.
Both subsidized and unsubsidized yields are calculated and displayed on the pricing
plan summary.
Stream generation and pricing enhancements provide you the functionality used in
other Lease Management processes. As such, the solution for enhancements and or
corrections includes no screen components.
Internal Stream Generation Program
The internal stream generation program is improved to:
When you create a termination quote for a contract with multiple assets, the quote
amounts detail page presents a line item for each asset. Lease Management displays
the summarized quote lines based upon the line type. First, you can view the
consolidated amount for all the assets for each line type. Then you can drill down to
the line details for a specific line type or review all individual lines for a quote.
Some termination quotes result in the modification of a lease contract when the quote
is accepted. Lease Management calculates and displays the revised payment schedule
when the lease contract’s payment schedule changes. You can submit this revised
payment schedule to the requestor of the quote.
You can select accrual override for contracts with an end date prior to the current
date. You can select the specific loss provision transaction date for contracts in
‘booked’, ‘evergreen’, ‘approved’ and ‘under revision’ status. The accounting entry
will be created on the selected transaction date, so you can book accounting entries
prior to the system date.
You can choose to ignore the automatic Lease Management contract application of
accrual rules (e.g., insurance) and elect to accrue other streams. The streams are
associated to a financial product for accrual and defined for accrual with the
qualification:
The generate accruals functionality recognizes accrual streams marked for accrual
with the condition “Do not apply accrual rules.” These streams are accrued without
any non-accrual, catch-up or reversal.
Lease Management 11i10 functionality limits the list of values displaying streams
that may be selected for accrual to those which have accrual templates defined on the
accounting template associated with the product. This validation is also added to the
update button on the product screen to handle errors that may arise if the accounting
template set is changed.
Two critical setups are required for the accrual generation program:
If you are using a third party lease pricing software, the new pricing methods available in
lease sales quoting are supported.

Oracle Customer Data Hub provides the schema and enabling infrastructure to create and
manage a central customer data repository. At the heart of Oracle Customer Data Hub is
Oracle’s acclaimed Trading Community Architecture (TCA). Because TCA is used by
applications across Oracle’s E-Business Suite, these applications are native users of the
Oracle Customer Data Hub, requiring zero integration. Included with the Oracle
Customer Data Hub is Oracle Customer’s Online, an HTML-based application providing
simple yet comprehensive access to the invaluable data within the Hub.
Customers who have licensed any E-Business Suite application are entitled to utilize
Oracle Customer Data Hub and its features (i.e., a separate license for Customer Data
Hub is not required). However, licensing for Customer Data Hub is required if the
customer does not have any E-Business Suite applications, chooses to implement the
Oracle Customer Data Hub on a stand-alone instance, or would like to use the Oracle
