STREAMLINED REPORTING: GENERATION OF REPORTS AND ACCOUNT GROUPS AND

REPORTING STRUCTURE PREVIEW IN RAPID IMPLEMENTATION
The Streamlined Reporting enhancements are a set of solutions that jump start and ease report setups to
provide instantly available financial reports. The report generation feature integrates with the Rapid
Implementation Enterprise Structure setup to automatically generate Financial Reporting reports and Account
Groups based on the specific accounting configuration created. An embedded report previewing feature
provides additional validation of the reporting structure setup in the context of a sample report to facilitate any
required re-alignment.
STEPS TO ENABLE
RAPID IMPLEMENTATION INTEGRATION WITH GENERATE FINANCIAL REPORTS AND ACCOUNT

GROUPS PROCESS
In the Natural Accounts worksheet of the Rapid Implementation Enterprise Structure Setup spreadsheet, in
addition to providing your natural account segment value set and account hierarchy along with account type
tags for the account values, tag the parent accounts that are your highest level and comprehensive revenue and
31
operating expenses accounts. Use the expanded account types of Revenue - Top Revenue Parent Account and
Expenses - Top Operating Expenses Account respectively. Optionally, also assign the expanded account type
of Expenses - Top Cost of Sales Parent Account if this is applicable for your scenario.
The Generate Financial Reports and Account Groups process will use these parent accounts as the basis for
deriving the accounts that are referenced in the reports it creates by taking the immediate descendants of these
parent accounts to define the rows of the reports. The process automatically generates a set of Financial
Reporting reports and Account Groups according to the accounting configuration defined in the Rapid
Implementation spreadsheet after this is successfully submitted.
Depending whether both the top operating expense and top cost of sales accounts are tagged, different
variations of the Financial Reporting income statements are generated. If the optional top cost of sales account
is provided, the income statements Financial Reporting reports will also include a gross margin section. An
individual set of Financial Reporting reports as listed below is generated for each ledger that is defined within
that Rapid Implementation accounting configuration.
1. Income Statement
2. Consolidated Income Statement
3. Rolling Quarterly Income Statement
4. Rolling Monthly Income Statement
5. Trial Balances by Ledger Currency
6. Trial Balances by Entered Currency
The process also generates three Account Groups. These include two for the infolets, Revenues and Expenses,
and one for the Close Monitor, Close Monitor Summary Income Statement. A set of these three account groups
is generated for the balances cube, to be shared among all the ledgers that are part of that balances cube.
32
Rapid Implementation Enterprise Structure Setup Natural Accounts Worksheet
RAPID IMPLEMENTATION SPREADSHEET SAMPLE REPORTS PREVIEW
After completing the Rapid Implementation spreadsheet, click the Validate button in the COA, Calendar, and
Ledger worksheet. The validation will go through all the worksheets and check if there are missing or
inappropriate setups. If everything checks out and it finds no errors, you will be presented the option to preview
some samples of the reports that will be generated. The preview reports will incorporate elements of the Rapid
Implementation setup you have provided, including the derivation of the report rows based on the top parent
revenue and expense account values you have tagged.
In addition to previewing the reports that will be automatically generated, this is also an opportunity to validate
whether you have set up your natural accounts reporting hierarchy in a way that align to reporting needs
because this will be reflected in the sample reports. If the natural account hierarchy requires adjustments, this is
your chance to make those corrections before actually creating the account hierarchies in the application since
this will only happen when you finally submit the accounting configuration in the Rapid Implementation
spreadsheet. You can make modifications to your enterprise structure setup, validate the spreadsheet, and
preview the revised sample reports for as many times as you need.
The validation routine marks errors as actionable items in a Validation Report worksheet that it dynamically
generates for the workbook. You can review these anomalies and make the corrections as indicated. In the
Field column, it will note the item that is an issue, and the text is a link. Clicking on it will navigate you to the
appropriate field in the spreadsheet that you need to update.

2. For the Revenues and Expenses Account Groups created by the report generation process, these will be
automatically set as the defaults for your Revenues and Expenses infolets in the General Accounting
Home Page if there is no existing Account Group already associated as the default. For the Close
Monitor Summary Income Statement, this can be assigned to your ledger sets when you complete the
Close Monitor setup.
KEY RESOURCES
The Instructions worksheet in the Rapid Implementation Enterprise Structure spreadsheet contains important
information on how to use the spreadsheet and submit the accounting configuration. It also provides
information on how to create additional account hierarchies, or additional account hierarchy versions. It
describes the various business objects that are created as part of the accounting configuration, including how
they relate to one another. Recommendations and best practices are also included to help you optimize your
Rapid Implementation setup. Areas that require caution and special consideration when planning your setup
are also noted in the instructions to help you avoid pitfalls.
ROLE INFORMATION
To successfully submit the Rapid Implementation Enterprise Structure Setup spreadsheet and generate the
Financial Reports and Account Groups, the user will need to have the Application Implementation Consultant
job role assignment because this feature is related to many setup elements that are secured by the various
privileges assigned to this role.
GENERATE FINANCIAL REPORTS AND ACCOUNT GROUPS PROCESS AND COPY ACCOUNT
GROUPS
The Generate Financial Reports and Account Groups process can be submitted at any time to automatically
create Financial Reporting reports and Account Groups. The Copy Account Group feature allows you to
leverage existing Account Groups and modify the copy to easily produce another report variation.
STEPS TO ENABLE
GENERATE FINANCIAL REPORTS AND ACCOUNT GROUPS PROCESS
To submit the Generate Financial Reports and Account Groups process, select the chart of accounts and
accounting calendar which identifies the balances cube and ledgers for which you wish to generate the reports.
Specify the top three parent revenue and expenses account values to base the generated reports.
35
Revenue - Top Revenue Parent Account
Expenses - Top Operating Expenses Account
Expenses - Top Cost of Sales Parent Account (optional)
The Generate Financial Reports and Account Groups process will use these parent accounts as the basis for
deriving the accounts that are referenced in the reports it creates by taking the immediate descendants of these
parent accounts to define the rows of the reports. The process generates a set of Financial Reporting reports
and Account Groups for the selected balances cube and its ledgers.
An individual set of Financial Reporting reports as listed below is generated for each ledger that is part of the
selected balances cube. Depending on whether both the top operating expense and top cost of sales accounts
are tagged, different variations of the income statements are generated. If the optional top cost of sales account
is provided, the income statement reports will also include a gross margin section.
1. Income Statement
2. Consolidated Income Statement
3. Rolling Quarterly Income Statement
4. Rolling Monthly Income Statement
5. Trial Balances by Ledger Currency
6. Trial Balances by Entered Currency
The process also generates three Account Groups. These include two for the infolets, Revenues and Expenses,
and one for the Close Monitor, Close Monitor Summary Income Statement. A set of these three account groups
is generated for the balances cube, to be shared among all the ledgers that are part of that balances cube.
When specifying each of the top parent account, you can pick the specific tree and tree version of the parent
account that you wish to base the generated reports. Use the Search feature to look for the specific parent
account by one or more criteria, using value, description, tree and tree version.
36
Generate Financial Reports and Account Groups
Specify Parent Account Value by Tree and Tree Version
COPY ACCOUNT GROUP
Use the Copy Account Group feature to make a copy of an existing account group, which can then be readily
modified to satisfy a different reporting requirement by having another Account Group variation. You can make a
37
copy of any account group to which you have access, whether it is an Account Group you own, an Account
Group that is shared with you, or an Account Group that is public. You will be marked as the owner of the
copied Account Group, which will be set to Private Access by default but can be changed to the setting that you
like.
Copy Account Group

1. When specifying the top parent accounts to submit the Generate Financial Reports and Account Groups
process, you can pick a specific tree and tree version for each parent account. All three parent account
values can be from different trees and tree versions, although ideally, you would choose a common tree
and tree version for all of them so that the hierarchy basis of all the rows in the report is consistent.
2. The Generate Financial Reports and Account Groups process will create an initial set of Financial
Reporting reports for each ledger included in the request submission. To prevent the unchecked
proliferation of such Financial Reporting reports, unless the original reports created were renamed or
deleted, a resubmission of the report generation process will not generate new Financial Reporting
reports for the ledgers. In contrast, for Account Groups, a new set will be generated for the balances
cube with each submission of the report generation process.
3. For the Revenues and Expenses Account Groups created by the report generation program, these will
be automatically set as the defaults for your Revenues and Expenses infolets in the General Accounting
Home Page if there is no existing Account Group already associated as their defaults. For the Close
Monitor Summary Income Statement, this can be assigned to your ledger sets when you complete the
Close Monitor setup.
ROLE INFORMATION
To submit the Generate Financial Reports and Account Groups process, the user needs to be assigned either
the Financial Analyst, General Accountant, General Accounting Manager, Financial Application Administrator
or Application Implementation Consultant job role. To work directly with the account groups and Financial
Reporting reports created, the user needs to be assigned either the Financial Analyst, General Accountant or
General Accounting Manager job role.
MANAGE CROSS-VALIDATION RULE VIOLATIONS PROCESS

Cross-validation rules determine whether a selected value for a particular segment of an account combination
can be combined with specific values in other segments to form a new account combination.
38
Use the new Manage Cross-Validation Rule Violations process to list and optionally disable account
combinations that violate cross-validation rules for a given chart of accounts. The process also lets you preserve
attributes of account combinations to prevent the Inherit Segment Value process from reenabling them.
STEPS TO ENABLE
1. Select the ‘Manage Cross-Validation Rule Violations’ process from the Scheduled Processes work area.
2. Select the chart of accounts for the applicable cross-validation rule.
3. Select All or select a specific cross-validation rule.
4. For the Disable Accounts parameter, select from among the following options:
No: Lists account combinations that violate the cross-validation rule.

Yes: Disables account combinations that violate the cross-validation rule if the Preserve
Attributes option for the account combination isn't set.
Yes and Preserve Change:
Disables account combinations that violate the cross-validation rule if the Preserve
Attributes option for the account combination isn't set.
Sets the Preserve Attributes option on account combinations to prevent the Inherit Segment
Value process from reenabling them.
5. Submit the process and review the output file.

1. After you define a cross-validation rule, you can run the Manage Cross-Validation Rule Violations
process to:
Test that the rule is set up correctly.

Identify existing account combinations that violate the rule and optionally disable them.
2. The process evaluates all account combinations that are enabled and not end-dated when the process is
submitted. The process is also affected by the Enabled option on the Manage Cross-Validation Rules
page.

CORRECT MISCLASSIFIED ACCOUNTS PROCESS

When you create a value for a segment that's assigned the natural account segment label, you must select an
account type, such as Asset, Liability, Expense, Revenue, and Owner's Equity. Account combinations
39
subsequently created with that segment value inherit the assigned account type. For example, you assign
segment value 1000 the account type of Asset and then create account combination 01-000-1000-000-
000. Account combination 01-000-1000-000-000 is classified as an asset.
If you assign an incorrect account type to a natural account segment value, accounting entries are recorded
incorrectly and financial statements are inaccurate. Misclassified accounts are also potentially handled
incorrectly at year end, with actual balances either getting zeroed out to retained earnings, or accumulating into
the next year.
Use the new Correct Misclassified Accounts process to correct account types for account combinations.
Misclassified accounts occur when the inherited account type of the corresponding natural account segment
value is set incorrectly. The process also lets you preview the correction results.
STEPS TO ENABLE
To submit the Correct Misclassified Accounts process, take the following steps.
1. Select the ‘Correct Misclassified Accounts’ process from the Scheduled Processes work area.
2. Select the value set for the natural account segment.
3. Select the value from which account combinations must inherit the account type.
4. Select whether to preview the affected account combinations or whether to reclassify the affected
account combinations.
5. Submit the process and review the output file.

Before submitting the Correct Misclassified Accounts process, it's recommended that you ensure:
Journals are not being posted when the process is run in reclassification mode.
The Dynamic Combination Creation Allowed option is disabled for the chart of accounts
When crossing over accounting years, create a journal entry that brings the misclassified account
balance to zero for the last day of the last period of your prior fiscal year. Post, and verify that the
misclassified account balance is zero. After submitting the Correct Misclassified Accounts process,
restore the misclassified account balance by reversing the journal entry you posted earlier to zero out the
balance.
When the process runs in Preview mode, the process output lists the actual balances for the affected
account combinations by ledger, currency, and fiscal year. This information helps facilitate the journal
entry that you must create for fiscal year cross-over scenarios.
When the process runs in Reclassify Account Type mode, the process first validates that the affected
account combinations have zero actual balances if the misclassification affects multiple fiscal years. This
validation ensures that the account type reclassification doesn't cause errors in the calculation of retained
earnings and beginning balances. The process then corrects the account type on the misclassified
account combinations to match the account type of the selected segment value.
In both preview and reclassification mode, the process output lists the ledgers, currencies, and periods
that have translated balances. To correct translated balances, run the Delete Translated Balances
process and rerun the translation process.

DELETE TRANSLATED BALANCES PROCESS

The Delete Translated Balances process provides the ability to completely reset translations in the event that
significant changes are made to the accounting configuration. In these cases, it is not sufficient to just submit a
translation again after making the change, but requires that all previous translated balances be deleted first.
These scenarios include making changes to the following:
Equity or income statement translation method
Translation rate type
First ever translation period for a translation currency
Cumulative translation adjustment account
Retained earnings account
Account type classification of an account
STEPS TO ENABLE
To submit the Delete Translated Balances process, take the following steps.
1. Select the Delete Translated Balances process.
2. Specify the ledger, target translation currency and earliest translation period for which you want to delete
translated balances and submit the process. The To Accounting Period has to be the latest accounting
period for which the ledger has translated balances for the given currency.
3. Make the applicable accounting configuration changes, taking into account all other necessary steps to
accomplish such a change. Refer to the appropriate documentation for the complete set of steps for the
given scenario.
4. Rebuild the General Ledger balances cube by submitting the Create General Ledger Balances Cube
process to ensure that the balances cube maintains translated balances that are consistent with future
translations.
41
Delete Translated Balances Process Submission
NOTE: After running the Delete Translated Balances process, it is very important to run the Create General
Ledger Balances Cube process to rebuild the balances cube and ensure that translated balances are also
completely reset in the balances cube. Otherwise, results from subsequent translations may not be correctly
reflected in the General Ledger balances cube.

PAYABLES
CUSTOMER AND SUPPLIER BALANCE NETTING

Use the Customer and Supplier Balance Netting feature to enable the automatic netting of Payables and
Receivables transactions within a business enterprise and issue payments and receipts for the netted amounts.
Netting agreements can be defined that incorporate the netting business rules (such as transaction selection
criteria) to support your payment practices.
The netting process automatically creates the Payables payments and Receivables receipts required to clear a
selected number of Payables and Receivables transactions. The functionality allows you to fine tune netting
settlements, prior to completion.
42
The following diagram represents the basic operations:
The feature allows you to quickly settle both AP and AR transactions for your trading partners who are both a
customer and supplier. The settlement can be automatically emailed to your trading partner and the internal
netting report and listing allow you to be able to keep track of the details of the settlement (such as trading
partners, invoices, transactions, settlement date.)
The netting agreement controls how a group of trading partners net Payables and Receivables
transactions. You can create a netting agreement for each group of trading partners that agrees to net
transactions. Netting agreements include the business rules that define the types of transactions that may be
selected for netting, and which suppliers and customers can be netted.
You can use netting groups to allow the Netting Manager to optionally create settlements for multiple
agreements at the same time. Implement netting groups to group together similar business related agreements
for settlements.

EARLY PAYMENT DISCOUNTS
You can pay invoices early in return for real-time discounts. Payments made early are offered discounts on a
real-time basis every single day of the payment cycle. Eligible discounts decrease on a sliding scale depending
on what the supplier is willing to accept. The variable annual percent rate (APR) with the days accelerated is
used in determining the discount amount and payment amount.
For example, the payment of an invoice of $10,000.00 when accelerated 15 days using the APR of 36% will
have $150.00 discount amount.

PRINT COMMERCIAL DOCUMENTS FOR POLAND

PRINT COMMERCIAL DOCUMENTS
This program allow you to select Receivables transactions to be printed, using Poland specific templates. There
are parameters that define the source of the transactions, as well as filters to identify particular transactions to
be printed. The printing process is executed in the following steps:
1. The program determines the layout to be used for each document being printed. The logic followed is
described below:
Checks the Print Template parameter to see if you asked for a particular layout.
Determines the layout assigned to the Document Fiscal Classification when the Print Template
parameter is blank.
Looks for the value in the Regional Information segment Print Template, set on the Receivables
Transaction Types when no layout is assigned to the Document Fiscal Classification.
2. The actual printing process is launched as Print Commercial Documents Child Process.
3. The Process Execution Report is generated.
The transactions can be printed in Draft or Final mode. Draft mode is used to verify that the data is complete
and correct before final printing. Once they are printed in Final mode, the Print status field of the printed
transactions changes to Printed and these are no longer available for printing in Final mode. After an Invoice
has been printed in Final mode, the user can print a copy of this output, marked as Duplicate by selecting the
attachment of the printed invoice from the Edit/Manage Receivables Transactions page.
The user can also control the currency type to be used for the amounts. The selection provided is for Entered
or Ledger Currency.

COLLECTIONS SCORING AND STRATEGY ASSIGNMENTS BY SEGMENT

The Collections Scoring and Strategy Assignments by Segment feature allows collectors to categorize
customers based on segments, such as business unit, profile class, or remaining amount due. Different scoring
formulas and delinquent strategy groups can then be assigned to segments. Collectors can also define
predelinquency settings and assign predelinquent strategy groups to customers.
80
This feature provides enhanced flexibility to collectors for managing the scoring and strategy assignments of
customers. This feature can also help increase collections efficiency and improve cash flow.
There are two major components to this feature:
New setup UI for scoring and strategy assignments.

Enhanced background processes to determine delinquencies and predelinquencies, to calculate scores,
and to assign strategies to customers.
MANAGE COLLECTIONS SCORING AND STRATEGY ASSIGNMENTS
Manage Collections Scoring and Strategy Assignments is a new setup task that can be accessed using the
Functional Setup Manager, in the Setup and Maintenance work area. The following three types of assignments
can be captured:
1. Default Assignments - default scoring formula and delinquent strategy group assignments by business
level.
The predefined scoring formulas and delinquent strategy groups are populated by default. They can be
changed to any scoring formulas or strategy groups according to business requirements.
2. Delinquent Strategy Assignments by Segment - scoring formula assignments and delinquent strategy
group assignments by segment.
Based on business needs, scoring formulas and delinquent strategy groups can be assigned by business
level, business unit, or profile class.
Thresholds for remaining amounts due can be set up and delinquent strategy groups used when the
amount is below or above the thresholds. The columns Amount Overdue Lower Threshold and Below
Threshold Strategy Group are shown in the screenshot below. (For example, the first row in the table
specifies that the strategy group Customer Low Strategy should be used, when the remaining amount
due is below 700,000.00 USD, in the business unit Vision Operations for the business level Customer.)
81
There are two other hidden-by-default columns Amount Overdue Upper Threshold and Above
Threshold Strategy Group. If needed, they can be used to capture an upper threshold for remaining
amount due and the delinquent strategy group to be assigned when the amount is above the upper
threshold.
3. Predeqlinquent Strategy Assignments by Segment - predelinquency settings and predelinquent strategy

group assignments.
In addition to managing the delinquent strategy assignments, define the amount and day thresholds to
use in order to determine predelinquencies and to assign predelinquent strategy groups by business level
and business unit. For example, if the Amount Threshold is 150,000.00 USD and the Day Threshold is
7, it means a transaction will be considered predelinquent when the remaining amount due is more than
150,000.00 USD and will become past due in 7 days.
NOTE: The delinquent and predelinquent strategy assignments by segment are optional. If they are not set
up, the default assignments are used.
DELINQUENCY MANAGEMENT PROCESS
The Collections Delinquency Management process marks the delinquency and predelinquency status for
transactions, customers, accounts, and sites based on the business level and the predelinquency settings, if
any. This process can be scheduled to run on a regular basis.
SCORING AND STRATEGY ASSIGNMENT PROCESS
The Collections Scoring and Strategy Assignment process retrieves the scoring formula and delinquent strategy
group based on the Manage Collections Scoring and Strategy Assignments setup, calculates the scores, and
assigns the strategies to delinquent customers accordingly. If predelinquent strategy group assignments are
defined, predelinquent strategies will be assigned as well. Delinquent strategies and predelinquent strategies
can run in parallel for the same customer.
COLLECTIONS WORK AREA LANDING PAGE AND CUSTOMER PAGE
Predelinquent strategy assignments can be set up and viewed for each customer on the Collections Work Area
landing page, as well as under the Strategies tab on the Customer page.
82
The manual strategy tasks generated based on the Manage Scoring and Strategy Assignments by Segment
setup are displayed in the Strategy Tasks information tile and the associated table on the Collections Work Area
landing page.
83
STEPS TO ENABLE
The Collections Scoring and Strategy Assignments by Segment feature needs to be enabled using the
Feature Opt-in page in Functional Setup Manager. It is not enabled by default.
To enable the Collections Scoring and Strategy Assignments by Segment feature, complete these steps:

2. Select Financials in the dropdown at the top of the page.
3. Click Change Feature Opt In.

4. On the Opt In: Financials page, click the Features icon for Collections.
5. On the Edit Features: Collections page, check the Enable check box for Collections Scoring and Strategy
Assignments by Segment.
6. Click Done to go back to the Setup: Financials page.

7. On the Setup: Financials page, select Collections as the functional area and choose to show all tasks.
8. The setup task Manage Collections Scoring and Strategy Assignments is displayed in the table.
84
9. Click the task name to go to the Manage Collections Scoring and Strategy Assignments page to set up
the assignments.

Enable this feature only if you have a need to categorize customers into groups and assign scoring
formulas and strategy groups by segment categorization. If the feature is not enabled, scoring and
strategy assignment will work the same as in previous releases.
The following segments are currently supported: business level (customer, account, site), business unit,
profile class, and remaining amount due.
PAYABLES
ONE TIME PAYMENTS

The One Time Payment feature facilitates seamless processing of payments for transactions from third party
external systems. This feature allows transactions to be imported into Payables from external systems as
payment requests using a predefined FBDI template. The payees and any bank account information for
electronic payments are created automatically when transactions are imported into Payables. These payment
requests are created with distributions and validated as part of the import process. This eliminates the need for
manual intervention when importing payment requests from their external systems. Payment requests can be
approved and updated, and attachments added. Separate payment runs can be processed for these
transactions from the regular payments to suppliers.
Follow the steps below to process One Time Payments:
1. Prepare the data using the predefined FBDI template. In the predefined template, you can specify
information related to the payee, address, bank account, and remittance.
2. Generate the CSV file.
3. Load the data into the Payment Request Interface Tables using the scheduled process Load Interface
Data for Import.
4. Import the data into Payables using the Import Payables Payment Requests scheduled process. Check
for rejections. If necessary, correct the data and resubmit.
5. In the Invoice work area, make any necessary adjustments to the payment request.
6. Have payment requests approved, if required, as per the approval rules defined.
7.
85
7. Schedule or run requests using Payment Process Request for One Time Payment either separately by
specifying a user-defined source, or with other payments by not specifying a source.
Payables Payment Request Import FBDI
STEPS TO ENABLE
One Time Payments needs to be enabled using the Feature Opt-in page in Functional Setup Manager.

1. The default liability and expense accounts for payment requests must be configured in the Common
Options for Payables and Procurement.
2. Process One Time Payments separately from other payment requests by using the Source criteria in
payment process requests and the payment process requests template. Sources can be user defined.
3. Only invoices with the type Payment Request can be entered into the FBDI payment requests template.
4. To enter payment requests with multiple lines, enter different line information with the same transaction
identifier and header information.
5. Header amounts do not need to be entered separately. Payables adds up the line amounts and
populates the amount in the header during import.
6. FBDI contains some hidden columns. Provide values in these columns by unhiding the columns.
RECEIVABLES
ABILITY TO LAUNCH SIMPLIFIED CUSTOMER UPLOAD VIA WEB SERVICE

The Launch Simplified Customer Upload via Web Service feature allows the Simplified Customer Upload
process to be run using the ERP Integration service to automate synchronization of customers from source
systems.
The Simplified Customer Upload process originally ran only from the Upload Customers from Spreadsheet
page. The process ran in the background, creating a batch record prior to process submission.
With this feature update, Simplified Customer Upload can be run as a standalone process directly from remote
systems, using the ERP Integration service.
To run the Simplified Customer Upload process using the ERP Integration service:
1. Populate the simplified template. (UploadCustomersTemplate.xlsm)

2. Upload the template to UCM using the uploadFileToUcm operation on the ErpIntegrationService.
3. Submit a ESSJobRequest using the submitESSJobRequest operation on ErpIntegrationService.

STEPS TO ENABLE
TAX
DISTRICT TAX CONTENT UPLOAD SUPPORT IN ERP CLOUD FOR TAX PARTNERS
In the United States, transaction taxes are statutorily imposed by many states, counties, and cities. either
creating tax zones using different combinations of counties, cities, and postal codes, or designating unique tax
districts. Taxes are calculated, reported, and remitted to municipal tax authorities for each separate transaction
tax and tax zone or district. Third-party tax partners can provide the tax content associated with states,
counties, and cities, as well as for unique tax districts comprised of particular combinations of counties, cities,
and postal codes. Due to the immense volume of existing tax zones and districts throughout the United States,
tax partners require a means to automatically load a high volume of district tax zones and taxes for both initial
creation and ongoing maintenance for Oracle ERP Cloud customers.
The Tax Rapid Implementation feature has been extended to support the efficient spreadsheet upload of tax
zone and tax district content provided by tax partners serving ERP Cloud customers in the following two key
areas:
1. Bulk upload of district tax zones throughout the United States comprised of any one of the following
geographic combinations within an individual district tax zone:

COMMON TECHNOLOGIES AND USER EXPERIENCE
COMMON FINANCIALS FEATURES

This section provides an overview of common features in Oracle Financials Cloud Release 13, which represent
overall investments in technology and user experience that are shared across Financials products.
ADD WHO COLUMNS FOR AUDITING

Auditing requirements are better supported by the addition of tracking columns in reporting.
Who columns have been added to OTBI subject areas for Payables Invoices and Expense Transactions in
Release 13, allowing users to report on Created By, Last Updated By, Creation Date, and Last Update Date.
Reports can now include information about when transactions were created and modified and by whom for all
the following entities in Financials:
Payables Invoices * and Payments Receivables

Budgetary Control Cash Management
Intercompany Subledger Accounting

95
STEPS TO ENABLE
ENHANCED INTEGRATION BETWEEN FINANCIALS CLOUD AND EPM

The current integration between Financials Cloud and EPM Cloud applications has been enhanced to provide
a more seamless integration experience. The updated integration allows users to pick the desired source
ledger from Financials Cloud, set up a few simple mappings, and then push a button to bring the data into EPM
Cloud applications.
Set up mappings between the Planning application and Financials Cloud General Ledger to write back Budgets
from Planning to Financials Cloud.
This integration, which can be run manually or scheduled for a specific time, no longer requires manual steps in
Financials Cloud and EPM Cloud. The updated integration also sets up the drill definition automatically, which
eliminates errors that may be caused when manually defining a drill definition.
Security is integrated between EPM and ERP to allow users to access information across these applications
without separate sign on.
STEPS TO ENABLE
ERP OBJECT ATTACHMENT SERVICE

The ERP Object Attachment Service supports the automatic upload of attachments for Oracle ERP Cloud
business applications. An attachment represents a collection of meaningful business information that is
commonly captured as a separate file, text, or internet URL. Use Attachments to supplement and provide key
additional information to enhance daily business operations and better track financials activities or events.
Business enterprises often require the capability to efficiently associate specific attachments with a particular
business entity or collection of business entities. For example:
Payables invoices may need to be associated with supporting documents such as duplicate invoices,
payments, etc.
Receivables transactions may need to be linked to customer-centric documents.
Purchase orders may need supplementary files attached to indicate additional details related to specific
goods or services procured or the nature of the overall purchase.
STEPS TO ENABLE
SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS
You must inherit the Load Interface Admin duty role ORA_FUN_FSCM_LOAD_INTERFACE_ADMIN_DUTY to
the integration user.
For more information on the security considerations, see Oracle ERP Cloud Object Attachment Service.
96
INBOUND AND OUTBOUND DATA FILE ENCRYPTION USING ERP INTEGRATION SERVICE
Data files can now be secured between Oracle ERP Cloud and on-premise, PaaS applications, and legacy
systems. This ensures inbound or outbound data files are transmitted over the Internet securely to protect
company sensitive information and financial transactions like journal entries, invoices, payments and bank
records, data encryption is a critical and essential element in implementing your integrations with Oracle ERP
Cloud.
This is supported by the ERP Integration Service that supports interfaces across Financials, Project Portfolio
Management, Procurement, and Supply Chain Management. This service provides the ability to protect both
inbound and outbound data files, in addition to SSL and Oracle Web Service Manager (OWSM) message
protection policy over the internet.
The following diagram illustrates the File-Based Data Import (FBDI) import integration flow in the context of data
encryption.
The following diagram illustrates the export integration flow in the context of data encryption (extracting data out
from ERP Cloud).
STEPS TO ENABLE
PGP KEYS
Oracle ERP Cloud supports Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) unsigned encryption with 1024 key size. There are two
types of encryption keys:
Oracle ERP Cloud Key

Customer Key
97
The Oracle ERP Cloud PGP public key is used to encrypt the data file and the respective private key is used by
the import bulk data process to decrypt the data file before starting load and import process. The file stored in
the content server, UCM, remains encrypted.
ERP Cloud uses a customer PGP public key to encrypt the extracted file and upload to UCM. Use the customer
private key to decrypt the file in on-premise or PaaS systems.
MANAGING PGP CERTIFICATES
Certificates establish keys for the encryption and decryption of data that Oracle Cloud applications
exchange with other applications. The Security Console is an easy-to-use administrative interface, accessed by
selecting Tools > Security Console on the home page, or from the Navigator. Use the Certificates page in the
Security Console functional area to manage PGP certificates..
GENERATE ERP CLOUD PGP CERTIFICATE
From the Certificates page, select the Generate option. On the Generate page, select the certificate format PGP
and enter values appropriate for the format.
For a PGP certificate, these values include:
An alias (name) and passphrase to identify the certificate uniquely

The algorithm by which keys are generated (DSA or RSA)
Key length – select 1024
Once the key is generated, export the public key to encrypt the FBDI data file.
98
EXPORT CUSTOMER PGB PUBLIC KEY
Follow these steps to export the public key:
From the Certificates page, select the menu available in the row for the certificate to export or open the
details page for the selected certificate and select its Actions menu.
In either menu, select Export > Public Key.
Select a location for the export file. By default, this file is called [alias]_pub.asc
IMPORT CUSTOMER PGP PUBLIC KEY
The customer public key is used by ERP Cloud to encrypt outbound files. The file is decrypted using the
customer private key. Follow these steps to import the customer public key:
On the Certificates page, select the Import button.

On the Import page, select PGP and specify an alias (which need not match the alias of the file being
imported).
Browse for the public-key file, and then select Import and Close.
The Certificates page displays a record for the imported certificate, with the Private Key cell unchecked.

FINANCIALS
Oracle Financials Cloud offers an integrated financial management suite that is designed to automate,
streamline, and manage financial processes end-to-end. It simplifies controls, increases productivity, and
improves business decisions through a broad suite of capabilities for general ledger, accounts payable,
99
accounts receivable, fixed assets, expenses, collections, and cash management, as well as centralized
accounting, tax, payment, and intercompany engines.
Advanced Collections provides a comprehensive solution to manage day-to-day collection
operations. Automation capabilities for the collection process enable collection agents to focus on work
assigned to them and follow up on tasks. A collections agent can review customer information, record
promises, submit payments, and request adjustments or disputes. Collections strategy management
automatically identifies and applies a list of both automated and manual tasks to improve the collection
experience for both customers and collections agents. Smart processes run in the background, providing
accurate and up-to-date information to the collector.
DISPLAY ON-ACCOUNT AND UNAPPLIED RECEIPTS IN THE TRANSACTIONS VIEW

The Transactions tab for customers provides an enhanced view displaying the on-account and unapplied
receipts together with other types of transactions. This feature provides collection agents a more holistic view
of delinquent customers.
To view the list of receipts, you can filter the transactions by Class or Receipt Date. Alternatively, you can use
Query-by-Example (QBE) to search for a specific receipt.
STEPS TO ENABLE
ASSETS
Assets simplifies fixed asset accounting tasks and automates asset management. Use Assets as a unified
source of asset data from both Oracle Applications Cloud and external feeder systems to provide visibility into
worldwide assets. Standard management tasks, such as asset additions, asset transfers, disposals,
reclassifications, financial adjustments, and legacy data conversions can be streamlined with automated
100
business flows. Standard accounting, operational, and registry reports are available for ease of reconciliation
and analysis.
ALIAS SUPPORT FOR KEY FLEXFIELDS IN ASSETS

Reduce data errors and improve usability of asset flexfields by using aliases for asset key flexfield
combinations, such as asset physical locations or asset categories. For example, you can create an alias
named HQ to represent the physical location of your company's headquarters.
All the Assets transaction pages and spreadsheets now support aliases for asset key flexfields.
The following screenshot illustrates the feature and its benefits.
Expedite Asset Category selection in the Add Assets page
STEPS TO ENABLE
Navigate to the Manage Asset Key Aliases, Manage Location Aliases, or Manage Category Aliases pages in
Functional Setup Manager to set up the aliases as required.

STEPS TO ENABLE
REDESIGNED OTBI SUBJECT AREAS FOR ASSETS

Assets subject areas for depreciation and asset transactions have been redesigned to better support the
creation of asset reports. Asset analysis functionality has been consolidated into two subject areas.
Fixed Assets – Asset Depreciation Real Time: The comprehensive asset depreciation subject area better
supports Assets reporting.
Fixed Assets – Asset Transactions Real Time: The asset transactions subject area enables detailed
reporting of any type of transaction, or major metrics (e.g. cost) can be aggregated to see the net impact over
an asset's life.
The intuitive reorganization of all of the attributes allows both comprehensive and more rapid ad hoc reporting.

budget import and budget adjustments.
115
Expand OTBI budgetary control reporting using the new Budgetary Control Balances Real Time subject
area, and the new requisition, purchase order, payables, and manual journal attributes in the Budgetary
Control Transactions Real Time subject area.
STEPS TO ENABLE
Three of the features in this enhancement require setup steps. There are no specific steps to enable the other
features.
BUDGETARY CONTROL AT SUBMISSION OR APPROVAL TIME
Set the budgetary control reservation point for requisitions and purchase orders in the Edit Budgetary Control
and Encumbrance Accounting page. Select Submission to perform budgetary control when you submit the
transaction, prior to approval. Select Approval to perform budgetary control on the transaction after it has been
approved.
OVERRIDE INSUFFICIENT FUNDS FOR REQUISITIONS AND PURCHASE ORDER
In the Create or Edit Control Budget page, define control budgets with override rules for requisitions and
purchase orders and assign users to approve the override of insufficient funds. Transactions requiring override
for insufficient funds will be routed for approval to the appropriate user.
116

EXPENSES
Expenses streamlines and automates worker management of travel expenses. Workers can quickly enter
expense reports anytime and anywhere with multiple entry options, including simplified online and spreadsheet
entry options, as well as mobile entry for both the iPhone and Android. Configurable rules allow managers to
enforce approval policies, per diem policies, and corporate expense policies for controlling enterprise spending.
Oracle Expenses also supports corporate card transactions, travel integration with GetThere, and electronic
image processing for faster reimbursement.
ENHANCED COMPLIANCE WITH ENTERTAINMENT POLICIES

Expenses has enhanced the spend controls for entertainment policies to help you better enforce policies. The
entertainment expense category supports entertainment events with nonemployee attendees only, gifts to
employees and nonemployees, employee team events, and events with both employee and nonemployee
attendees.
The following capabilities are new:
You can define rate limits for employee attendees. The limit is applied to each employee identified as an
attendee for an entertainment expense.
You can prevent employees from creating a new nonemployee attendee while entering an entertainment
expense. This allows companies to maintain a preapproved list of attendees.
Certain entertainment events are designed to include both employee and nonemployee attendees. You
can mandate entry of employee and nonemployee attendee information for an entertainment expense.
You can also control capture of additional required or optional information.
Expenses, such as hotel, can be itemized to include entertainment expenses. Now you can add
attendees to these itemized expenses.
Expense reports validate the required information and raise policy violations based on the configuration setup.
Managers can review policy violations which are highlighted in the approval notifications. Expense reports with
policy violations can be automatically selected for audit.
STEPS TO ENABLE
To define rate limits for employee attendees, perform the following steps:
1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, navigate to the Manage Policies by Expense Category page.
2. Click the Create Policy button and select the Entertainment option.
3. In the Create Entertainment Policy page, select the following in the Rate Definition section.
Enable rate limit check box.
Single instance limit check box.
Rate currency radio button.
4. In the Rate Determinants section, select the employee check box.
5. Click the Save policy button.
6. Click the Create Rates button to define the rate limits. You define the rate limits in the Employee table.
120
When you enter an expense report attached to this entertainment policy, the expense is validated against the
rate limits configured in the Employee table.
Enforcing Employee Rates
Defining Employee Rates
To capture attendee information, perform the following steps:
To prevent employees from creating nonemployee attendees, deselect the Enable Nonemployee
Creation check box on the Create Entertainment Policy page.
To require at least one nonemployee attendee, select the Require at Least One Nonemployee as
Attendee check box.
To require employee or nonemployee attendee information, select the Required option from the
Attendee Type, Attendee Amount, or the Job Title choice lists.
Preventing Nonemployee Creation
121
To enable itemized expense types with entertainment category, perform the following steps:
In the Setup and Maintenance work area, navigate to the Manage Policies by Expense Category page.
Create and activate an entertainment policy.
On the Manage Expense Report Templates page, assign entertainment policies to any entertainment
expense types on the Policies tab.
Assigning Entertainment Policies
In expense entry, you can add attendees to entertainment expenses that are itemized on the Create Expense
Item page by clicking the Attendees link.
Entering Attendees During Itemization
IMPROVED CONTROLS FOR EXPEDITED EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT

Expenses has added new audit capabilities and provided additional configuration to expedite expense
reimbursement and compliance with company policies. The key improvements include the following:
You can restrict users to allocate expenses to cost centers only. This enables companies to prevent
intercompany transactions for expense reporting.
Previously, when you enabled terms and agreements, both the check box and the policy link were
displayed in one link. Now, you can create terms and agreements text without a link to the policy.
Alternatively, you can enable the policy link without the terms and agreements check box.
You can mandate the capture of merchant and receipt details without enabling the selection of tax
classification codes. This allows tax classification codes to be automatically populated based on the
expense type.
122
Two new capabilities have been added to expedite expense processing of globally mobilized employees
and new hires. Globally mobilized employees are employees transferred to another location or on
temporary assignment.
Processing of expenses incurred before hire date. Previously, expense reports were not
processed if they only contained expenses before hire date. You can now process these reports
by enabling a profile option.
Submission of expense reports from a previous assignment. When employees change work
assignments, their assigned business unit may also change. When a change in business unit
occurs, expenses that were incurred during the previous work assignment are not actionable from
the Expense Items information tile in the Expenses work area. Only charges incurred during the
current assignment are displayed in the Expense Items information tile.
You can use either of the two methods to submit the expenses from a previous assignment for
reimbursement. You can select the applicable corporate card transactions from the Manage Corporate
Card Transactions page and submit them in a new report or add to an existing report. Transactions
incurred during previous assignments are identified in the page. Alternatively, you can edit a Saved or
Withdrawn expense report, add the expenses from a previous assignment, and submit them. The Add
Expense Items window is restricted to show transactions from the same business unit as the expense
report.
Auditors can add attachments to expense reports and cash advances in any status.
After an expense report or cash advance audit is complete, auditors may receive supporting
documentation or additional information pertinent to the audit. You can now attach these additional
details even if the audit is complete.
Companies that require both imaged and original receipts may use imaged receipts for audit and
reimbursement and the original receipts for tax reclamation. In cases where employees email originals to
their payables department and a central scanning service is used for creation of imaged receipts, the
original receipt received date is the date when the imaged receipt is created. Expenses automatically
populates this original receipt received date to save auditors time. We have added a new option to the
Create Expense Report Receipt and Notification Rule page to capture the default check-in date
preference.
To process expense reports accurately, auditors need to know if the employee is still with the company.
The Audit Expense Reports page and the Audit Cash Advances page display a message if the employee
on the expense report or cash advance is no longer with the company.
Previously, short-paid expense reports and expense reports already assigned to auditors could be
audited only by the assignees. This restriction is now removed to expedite expense processing. Now any
auditors in the corresponding business units can audit short-paid reports and reports in another auditor's
queue. If, however, an auditor has requested more information for an expense report, that report can only
be audited by the assigned auditor.
Employees and managers sometimes ask auditors to return an audited expense report with errors, but
not processed for payment to Payables. A new action Return Expense Report is added to the Audit
Expense Report page to allow auditors to return audited expense reports to employees. Auditors can
return the expense reports only when they are in Ready for Payment Processing status. When a report is
returned, associated expense reports for card issuers, also called .1 reports, are removed and cumulative
mileage calculation is recalculated when applicable.

To enhance security and to use predefined remittance advice formats, Expenses now supports the upload of
tokenized card numbers for American Express and Visa files, creation of remittance advice compliant with the
Global Remittance Utility from American Express, and PGP encryption to receive encrypted corporate card
transaction files. Additionally, companies can prevent employees from updating the merchant information on
the card charges.
130
STEPS TO ENABLE
SUPPORT FOR TOKENIZED AMERICAN EXPRESS GL1025 FILES AND GLOBAL REMITTANCE UTILITY

GENERAL LEDGER
General Ledger is a comprehensive financial management solution that provides highly automated financial
processing, effective management control, and real-time visibility to financial results. Its unique reporting
platform, natively built on top of a multidimensional data model, allows you to report and analyze financial
results in real time to help you make better decisions faster. General Ledger’s extensive spreadsheet
integration is comprehensive; you can configure your enterprise structures, such as your chart of accounts,
hierarchies, accounting calendars, ledgers, legal entities, and business units. You can also upload high
volumes of journals and budgets as well as report and analyze results from the efficiency of a spreadsheet.
CLEARING ACCOUNTS RECONCILIATION

Clearing accounts reconciliation offers sophisticated automatic and manual methods to group, match and
reconcile related 'in' and 'out' journal lines that no longer contribute to an account's ending balance. Resources
can instead be deployed wisely towards analyzing those unreconciled journal lines that are both relevant and
responsible for the buildup of the ending balance in a clearing account. This feature helps to shorten your
period close cycle where account reconciliations are critical activities. Define reconciliation types that represent
reconcilable clearing accounts (for example, asset clearing, accounts payable accrual, unbilled receivables)
and their associated reconciliation rules, in one central setup location. Enter journal lines with reconciliation
references to automatically reconcile them with minimal user intervention and enhanced productivity. Use
tolerances when performing manual reconciliation, to further enhance the success rate of journal lines getting
reconciled. You can correct previous reconciliations by subsequently reversing them. Run reconciliation
reports and perform inquiries to retrieve and analyze reconciled and unreconciled journal lines.
The following steps illustrate the feature and its benefits:
1. Create reconciliation types to mirror the reconcilable clearing accounts and their associated reconciliation
rules.
132
Reconciliation Type Defined at Chart of Accounts Level
2. Enter the reconciliation reference in the Journal Lines section, as you create clearing account journals.
Post the journals. Configure subledger accounting rules to automatically populate reconciliation
references in subledger journal lines. Upload and import clearing account journal lines containing
reconciliation references into GL, using spreadsheet-based methods (file-based data import, Oracle ADF
Desktop Integration).

UNRECONCILED TRANSACTIONS REPORT
The Unreconciled Transactions Report lists all unreconciled clearing account journal lines that have been
rejected by either automatic or manual reconciliation processes, as well as those lines that have not yet
been subjected to reconciliation. The sum of all the unreconciled lines should typically be equal to the
closing balance of a clearing account.
Process Details for Unreconciled Transactions Report
Example of Unreconciled Transactions Report
139
STEPS TO ENABLE
Both the ledger and natural account segment values that are subjected to reconciliation, must be enabled for
clearing accounts reconciliation.
1. Select the Enable Clearing Accounts Reconciliation option in the Reconciliations section on the
Specify Ledger Options page.
2. Set the Reconcile attribute of the natural account segment values, that are subjected to reconciliation, to
YES on the Manage Values page.
3. Run the Inherit Segment value Attributes process to subsequently update existing account
combinations with the changes to the Reconcile attribute on the natural account segment values.
Once the previous steps have been completed, you can navigate to the Manage Clearing Accounts
Reconciliation task. On that page, you can view and manage existing reconciliation types. Click the Add (+) icon
to create reconciliation types and their associated rules, as required.

1. To easily distinguish reconciliation types on processing pages, add a suffix with the name of the chart of
accounts or ledger to reconciliation type names.
2. Before reversing clearing account journals, first perform a reverse reconciliation on the already
reconciled journal lines. Use the Reversible Detail column on the Manage Journals page to understand
why a clearing account journal cannot be reversed.
3. Run the Enable Journal Lines for Clearing Accounts Reconciliation process to make posted
historical journals eligible for clearing accounts reconciliation. The process updates journal lines that
have neither an entered reconciliation reference nor a ledger that was previously enabled for
reconciliation prior to posting the journals.
4. Users must be assigned the Manage Clearing Accounts Reconciliation Setup privilege to set up and
manage reconciliation types and their associated reconciliation rules. The predefined job roles of
Financial Applications Administrator, General Accounting Manager, and General Accountant have this
privilege assigned by default, either through the General Accounting Functional Administration Duty or
the Period Close Management Duty. The Reconcile Clearing Accounts and Run Clearing Accounts
Reconciliation Reports privileges, through the Period Close Management Duty, provide access to
reconciliation processing pages and reconciliation reports, respectively. The predefined job roles of
General Accounting Manager and General Accountant have these privileges assigned by default.
GENERAL LEDGER REPORTING

The General Ledger journal and account analysis reports list journal entries and account balances. In Release
13 the report extracts have been enhanced to include reconciliation information for clearing accounts.
The data model now includes the reconciliation date, reconciliation group, reconciliation reference, and
reconciliation status attributes.
You can customize BIP templates of the following reports to include clearing account reconciliation information:

JOURNAL POSTING IMPROVEMENTS

Enhanced error reporting of journal posting issues helps users resolve issues quickly and independently.
You can now search for all journals with errors on the Manage Journals user interface instead of
selecting a specific error for the Batch Status field.
The improved posting execution report now shows you the journal error with details to enable you
to resolve posting issues quickly. For example, if there is an issue with the retained earnings account, the
account and the issue are specified in the error.
STEPS TO ENABLE

141
PAYABLES
Payables captures invoice information seamlessly through integration with the latest imaging technology and
reduces the time spent on invoice entry resulting in faster throughput. Payables enhances user productivity
with Excel integration for invoice creation using Oracle ADF Desktop Integration. The Payables landing page
and work areas provide a central location for users to perform tasks and monitor activities that require attention.
DEFERRED EXPENSES
Deferred Expenses (multiperiod accounting) allows you to create entries across more than one period for a
single accounting event. For example, expenses incurred on annual maintenance contracts for equipment and
rent paid in advance could be deferred and recognized across multiple GL periods. The entries would accrue
based on the number of specified accounting periods.
STEPS TO ENABLE
There are no steps necessary to enable this enhancement. When users enter a multiperiod accounting start
and end date on the invoice system will automatically consider it for multiperiod accounting.

1. The seeded multiperiod accounting rules use the proration formula based on number of periods. You
would need to customize the rules if you do not want to use proration based on periods.
2. Multiperiod accounting entries will be generated only after the multiperiod invoice is accounted in final
mode.
3. Its always advisable to run the Multiperiod Accounting Program as part of your period close process
after all the Payables transactions are entered, accounted and transferred to General Ledger.
DUPLICATE INVOICE CHECK

The Duplicate Invoice Check is an additional feature that supplements the existing invoice number check to
find potential duplicate invoices. You can identify invoices during the entry process that may have the potential
to be duplicates based on the combination of supplier, invoice type, invoice amount, invoice currency, and
invoice date attributes. During invoice creation you are alerted to a potential duplicate invoice being entered by
a warning message. These alerts are maintained at the invoice level as references for future audit purposes.
STEPS TO ENABLE
You must create and enable the lookup type and lookup code to use this feature.
Standard Lookup Type: ADD_DUPLICATE_INV_CHECK

Lookup Code: DUPLICATE_INVOICE_CHECK.

1. The feature only checks for standard and prepayment types of invoices.
2. The feature does not check the invoice number as an attribute to identify potential duplicate invoice.
3. The feature does not perform a check on auto generated invoices such as: pay on receipt, pay on use,
intercompany, and debit memo invoices.
142
SUPPLIER BALANCE AGING REPORT
The Supplier Balance Aging Report enables you to generate a supplier aging report based on a specific date.
The report only considers the invoices that are accounted for in Payables and transferred to the General
Ledger. Aging buckets for invoices are defined in the aging template. Invoices that do not fit into any of the
defined aging buckets are listed in a new residual bucket. This ensures that the balance in the aging report
matches up with the balances in the Payables Trial Balance Report.
STEPS TO ENABLE
There are no steps necessary to enable this enhancement. This report is controlled by the existing privilege
Submit Payables Invoice Aging Report which also provides access to the existing Payables Invoice Aging
Report. This report can be submitted from Scheduled Processes.
RECEIVABLES
Receivables provides a comprehensive solution for running day-to-day accounts receivable operations. It
includes services for customer credit management, billing, and payment activities, revenue recognition and
adjustments, reviewing receivable balances, and reconciliation to the general ledger. Receivables provides
SmartReceipts, an automated cash application solution that is unique in the industry. Role-based work areas

CREDIT MANAGEMENT
Credit Management provides the information and tools to monitor and evaluate the credit worthiness of
customers and make informed credit decisions. With a wealth of timely internal and external data, you can
balance growth with financial stability by tailoring credit policies to your business needs and market conditions.
As part of the Oracle Financials Cloud Credit-to-Cash solution, the Credit Management feature helps to
improve cash flow, increase billing efficiency, optimize customer relationships, and instill corporate and fiscal
discipline.
This feature provides rich and easy-to-use credit management capabilities in the following four areas:
Comprehensive credit profiles and policies

Streamlined credit review process
Effective management of credit review lifecycle
Flexible scoring models and third-party integration
1. COMPREHENSIVE CREDIT PROFILES AND POLICIES
Customer profiles and customer account profiles now support a full list of credit-related attributes: Credit
Analyst, Credit Review Cycle, Last Review Date, Next Review Date, Credit Classification, Credit Limit, Credit
Currency, Tolerance, Risk Code, Credit Rating, Credit Hold, Include in Credit Check, Conversion Rate Type,
and Expiration Offset Days.
You can choose to maintain these credit attributes in customer profiles or customer account profiles, or both.
The values set in a customer profile by default apply to all accounts of the customer. If necessary, you can set
different values on individual customer account profiles. Most importantly, the credit limit of a customer account
defines the total credit that this one account can consume; the credit limit of a customer defines the total credit
all of its accounts can consume. Setting the credit profiles for customers or customer accounts is the
prerequisite to most credit management functionality, including credit checking, periodic credit review
generation, and auto-assignment of credit analysts.
You can set or update these attributes using either the Manage Customers page or the Customer Import
spreadsheet (FBDI). Most of these attributes can also be defaulted based on the Receivables customer profile
classes.
150
2. STREAMLINED CREDIT REVIEW PROCESS
You can conduct credit reviews on a customer or customer account. Each review is represented by a credit
case folder. Depending on the process, credit case folder creation is either automatic or manual.
Credit case folders created due to credit checking failure: When a customer or customer account fails a
credit check, and there is no active case folder for this customer or customer account, a new case folder
is created automatically.
Credit case folders created based on periodic review cycle: The periodic review process creates new
credit case folders for customers that are due for periodic reviews, based on the Credit Review Cycle,
Last Review Date, and Next Review Date settings in the customer or customer account profiles.
Credit case folders created manually: To handle any ad-hoc credit review requests, credit analysts can
create credit case folders on the Credit Reviews page.
Use the Manage Credit Case Folder Templates setup task to define credit case folder templates to capture the
default scoring model and the data points to include in a case folder. When a case folder is created
automatically, a template is selected based on the credit classification of the customer or customer account and
151
the review type (such as a periodic review). The template scoring model and data points are applied to the case
folder accordingly. Each case folder is also automatically assigned a credit analyst based on the Credit Analyst
setting in the customer or customer account profiles.
3. EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT OF CREDIT REVIEW LIFECYCLE
The new Credit Reviews work area provides credit analysts and credit managers with the necessary tools to
review and manage credit case folders. From the work area landing page, you can search case folders, view
high-level information about the case folders, and take actions such as creating a new case folder, reassigning
case folders to another analyst, and closing case folders. Predefined default searches are provided for credit
analysts and credit managers to help manage their work queue.
You can drill down to the case folder details page, which displays all the necessary information for a credit
review:
The main information in any case folder includes a list of summary and high-level attributes, the data
points displayed based on the template, and the calculated credit score. You can view how the credit
score is derived based on the scoring model and the data point values. When the credit score cannot be
calculated due to missing data point values, you can enter the data point values and re-calculate the
score.
You can create and edit recommendations, a set of predefined actions that Receivables will implement
automatically when the case folder is approved. Examples include setting a new credit limit, and
adjusting the credit classification for the customer or customer account.
You can also view the approval history of the case folder. The history includes records of when and by
whom an approval or rejection took place.
The available actions in the Actions menu are:
Refresh Data: Retrieves the latest values for all data points and recalculates the credit score.
Approve: Opens a secondary window to either specify the next approver or to approve the case folder.
Reject: Rejects a case folder.
Request for Information: Updates the case folder status and returns it to the credit analyst's work queue.
Withdraw: Withdraws a case folder that was pending approval.

4. FLEXIBLE SCORING MODELS AND THIRD-PARTY INTEGRATION
You can define credit scoring models using the Manage Credit Scoring Models setup task. Scoring models are
used to calculate credit scores based on the values of the set of data points you select. The Credit Management
feature provides commonly-used data points in categories that include Aging, Billing and Payments, Business
Information and Credit, Financial Data, and References. Values of the aging and billing data points are derived
automatically based on data in Receivables Cloud. Values for other data points can be entered manually or
imported from third-party sources using Credit Data Import. Credit Data Import uses the standard file-based
data import (FBDI) technology, and provides an Excel spreadsheet for uploads.

E-MAIL DELIVERY OF STATEMENTS

1. Use the E-Mail Delivery of Statements feature to automatically deliver statements directly to customers
using e-mail. Using e-mail delivery expedites the delivery of statements to customers and reduces costs
by omitting postal delivery of customer statements. Additionally, you help customers reduce costs by
having an appointed contact receive the statements directly.
2. The existing Consolidated Statement feature consolidates billing activity across customer sites into a
single statement for the customer account. E-Mail Delivery of Statements automatically supports this
feature by sending the consolidated statement to the designated statement site.
3.
156
3. The Create Customer Statements program has been enhanced to automatically e-mail statements as
attachments to the designated customer contacts. You can now define outbound parameters, such as
your company e-mail address and reply-to address, and create unique text for the body of the e-mail for
each organization receiving statements via e-mail.
If the e-mails to customers cannot be successfully delivered, the Reply-to E-Mail address specified under
Receivables System Options will receive returned e-mails. The user who monitors that e-mail inbox can
resend the e-mails from the local e-mail client. For this reason, it is important to set up Reply-to E-Mail
correctly.
Alternatively, the user who monitors the status of scheduled processes can perform the resend. If e-mail
delivery fails for any reason, the detailed output for the process will display a failure status. Clicking the
Send icon will invoke a dialog to send the e-mails again without having to re-submit the scheduled
process Create Customer Statements. The user only needs to enter the To, Reply-to, Subject, and the e-
mail message text again.
4. A statement is sent to customers in a timely manner using e-mail, and customers can download and view
the statements at their convenience.
157
STEPS TO ENABLE
1. To use the E-Mail Delivery of Statements feature, fill in the information under the Statement Delivery
Using E-Mail section for the applicable business unit in the Billing and Revenue tab of the Receivables
System Options page.
For each organization that sends statements via e-mail:
Specify the organization name, e-mail address, and reply-to e-mail address.
Create the unique subject text and indicate whether to include the business unit and statement
date in the subject.
Customize the body text specific to each of your business units.
This information is included in the e-mail to the customer, along with the statement, when you run the
Create Customer Statements process for this business unit.
2. In the profile class assigned to each applicable customer, you must set the Statement Preferred Delivery
Method field to E-Mail in order for customers to receive statements using e-mail.
3.
158
3. For existing customers, you can update the profile class to this option, and reapply the profile, thereby
updating all customers using this profile.
4. You can also update the profile on specific customer accounts or sites that choose to receive e-mailed
statements.
5. In the Customer Contact Point section of the Manage Customer page, you must enter the contact point
information for each applicable customer. The Contact Point Type designates the contact’s e-mail
address for receiving documents. The Contact Responsibility Type specifies the type of document; in this
case, select the responsibility type of Statements for e-mail delivery of customer statements.

TAX BOX ALLOCATIONS
The Tax Box Allocation feature is enhanced in Release 13 to allow annual reporting of tax and taxable
amounts grouped under tax boxes.
The Tax Box Return Preparation Report now lists taxable and tax amounts grouped by tax declaration box
numbers for periodic or annual allocations.
The R13 enhancement includes changes to the existing parameters and introducing new parameters. The
Reporting Periodicity parameter allows you to choose between periodic and annual allocations. A new
parameter Tax Calendar Year allows you to choose reporting year for annual allocation amounts. Use Tax
Calendar Year parameter to report transactions on annual basis. Use Tax Calendar Period parameter to report
transactions for a specific period.
The following table shows the combination of parameter values that are valid, other combinations will not list
data.
Reporting Periodicity Tax Calendar Year Tax Calendar Period
Periodic N/A Period (e.g. May-17)
Annual Year (e.g. 2017) N/A
The report output sample:The report now supports reporting of detail, summary and both detail & summary of
tax and taxable amounts. A new parameter Summarization level has three options: Detail, Summary, Both.
STEPS TO ENABLE
You can define the Tax Box Allocation rule to be used for annual allocations or periodic allocations. The Report
Periodicity field indicates the reporting frequency for which the tax boxes will be used. The possible values are
Periodic and Annual.
For the implementations with the same set of tax boxes for periodic and annual reporting and the same rules of
their designation, you create the tax box allocation rules with the Report Periodicity either ‘Periodic allocation’ or
‘Annual allocation’. In this case the tax box allocation rules defined with the Report Periodicity ‘Annual allocation’
becomes also valid for periodic reporting and vice versa.
Customize the Tax Box Return Preparation Report BIP template to meet your tax reporting legal format.

WITHHOLDING TAXES FOR ARGENTINA

To meet statutory requirements for processing withholding taxes, the following withholding tax features can be
configured for Argentina:
VAT Withholding (‘Retención de IVA’)
Using the new withholding tax options, VAT Withholding tax is calculated only on VAT tax amount, not on
the invoice line amount. The withholding rate is applied on the VAT tax amount at payment time, and only
for specified types of taxes.
Turnover Withholding Tax – Multilateral & Non-Multilateral (‘Retenciones de Ingresos Brutos - convenio
multilateral’)
Using the new turnover withholding tax options, adjust the taxable basis for tax payers subject to
Multilateral Agreements. Set up regime tax rules that will calculate the revenue percentage in each
province, on each transaction, and process the withholding for the supplier in the ratio of revenue subject
to each province. Establish regime rules that limit the amount and the proportion of the withholding
taxable basis amount allocated between two jurisdictions.
Argentina Income Withholding Tax (‘Retenciones de Ganancias’)
Using new withholding tax options, process withholding at the time of payment, including pre-payments
or multiple payments. The withholding is made on the total invoice amount and when multiple invoices
from the same vendor are paid in one payment. Track thresholds and schedules by service classification
for a document or period. When the sum of the payments is reached by withholding income tax rate
schedule, apply the correct rates. The Taxable Basis will be calculated on the total amount of each item
that is paid and the deduction of corresponding VAT.

ACCOUNTING (SPED) FOR BRAZIL

SPED (or Public System of Digital Bookkeeping) was created by the government of Brazil to unify the
reception, validation, storage, and authentication of books and documents involved in the taxes and
bookkeeping of companies, through a single computerized flow of information. The Accounting SPED (or ECD)
is a SPED subproject where companies are required to build a text file from their accounting systems to report
all accounting transactions once a year. This text file has a specific format and is uploaded to the Federal Tax
Authority database in Brazil.
Use Accounting SPED to:
Generate Accounting SPED report file in ready-to-report format as required by the Tax Authorities.
Generate the accounting report file in multiple modes where you can either report the consolidated
information, that is, for the entire Legal Entity, or you can report individually for each Legal Reporting
Unit. This means that reports are generated in centralized or decentralized mode.
Create the accounting report file for various bookkeeping types by changing the type during report
generation: A, B, R, A/B, A/R or G.
Report all the analytical accounts and the respective parent accounts from the Chart of Accounts
information.
Choose whether the report fetches the journals in summary mode or detailed mode.
Report all the data from Subledger Accounting (SLA) or General Ledger (GL) as configured.
171
STEPS TO ENABLE
For defining a specific SPED accounting configuration, you must be assigned the Manage Accounting
Configuration for the Americas privilege.
For configuring SPED participant information you must be assigned the Manage Participant
Relationship for Brazil privilege.
For generating SPED extract files you must be assigned the Generate Brazilian Accounting SPED
Data Extract privilege.

The Accounting SPED report file is compatible with SPED Layout 4.0.
The Brazilian Federal Tax Authority provides a validator program that checks the consistency of the
Accounting SPED report file. Validate the Accounting SPED report file using this program and make the
necessary corrections before uploading the final file to the Tax Authority.

FISCAL DOCUMENT GENERATION AND MANAGEMENT
Fiscal Documents are used in Brazil to comply with regulations of the tax authorities. They also have the
purpose of registering a transfer of ownership over a good or a commercial activity provided by a company to an
individual or to another company.
Use Fiscal Document Generation to create and manage fiscal documents for your sales invoices, internal
transfer shipments, shipments of returns to vendors and internal transfer of fixed assets. The Fiscal Document
Generation process is integrated with Receivables so that the appropriate fiscal attributes can be entered, taxes
can be calculated, and a fiscal document can be generated for sales invoices before invoices are completed.
The process is also integrated with Shipping so that fiscal attributes can be captured for shipments, and fiscal
documents can be generated and managed before internal transfer and RTV shipments are released. For fixed
asset transfers, the required transaction information is moved to Receivables, so a fiscal document can be
generated based on a non-receivable invoice.
The entire fiscal document lifecycle is managed by Fiscal Document Generation:
Capture and validate transaction information required by tax authorities.

Generate a sequential fiscal document number with corresponding series and a unique fiscal document
key.
Extract and send fiscal document information to partner, who will communicate with tax authorities.
Process the tax authority return information like approval, validation errors or rejection.
Automatically complete the receivables invoice or allow the shipment to be released, after fiscal
document is approved by tax authority.
Print the DANFE so it can be shipped with the goods.
Void a fiscal document if you want to report to Tax Authority that the fiscal document number will not be
used.
Cancel the fiscal document when it is approved by the tax authority but the goods or services are no
longer intended to be provided or shipped.
Generate the fiscal document in contingency mode, so goods can be shipped even when there are
communication issues with tax authority.
Predefine time limits within which a fiscal document can be cancelled, voided or generated in
contingency mode as specified by each tax authority.
172
SALES INVOICING AND CUSTOMER RECEIPTS ENHANCEMENTS
Receivables has been enhanced to support business requirements for Brazil related to bank collection and
interest calculation.
This feature allows you to:
Create collection remittance files based on invoice payment terms and including instructions to banks
such as interest charges and protests after due date.
Create and print collection documents so they can be sent to your customers.
Generate updated instructions to banks for invoice changes like interest parameters, discounts and due
dates.
Import the bank return file, creating and applying the receipts automatically.
Calculate interest and late charges upon receipt considering local holiday rules.
If interest or penalty are not fully collected, automatically write-off the difference using a write-off
tolerance or generate a debit memo against the customer.

Federation). Implementation of specific bank formats can be worked with implementation partners.
For Fiscal Document Generation, partners must be able to get the fiscal document information from the extract
file and communicate with tax authorities. Tax Authority return and communication issues must be notified to
Fiscal Document Generation, so they can be handled properly.
PROCURE TO PAY FOR BRAZIL

TAX PROCESSING FOR FISCAL DOCUMENT CAPTURE
The Fiscal Document Capture application obtains a pre-validation from the tax authority of the fiscal document
issued by a supplier, before capturing fiscal document information. Taxes applied on it are treated as the source
173
of truth for accounting and reporting purposes. However, during fiscal document capture and processing, taxes
are additionally calculated as per tax setup, compared with the supplier notified taxes, and a hold is placed if
their difference is beyond tolerance limits. Tolerance limits for the difference between fiscal document taxes and
calculated taxes are defined within Configuration Owner Tax Options, for the event class Fiscal Document
Capture.
In the Manage Fiscal Document page, the tax amount notified on the fiscal document is captured in the Fiscal
Document Tax Amount field and the amount calculated according to tax setup is displayed in the Calculated Tax
Amount.
If a fiscal document is received in physical format, then it is manually entered into Manage Fiscal Document
page. On invoking Calculate Tax or Validate actions, taxes are calculated as per tax setup. Both the attributes
Fiscal Document Tax Amount and Calculated Tax Amount capture the calculated value and users can review
and correct fiscal document tax amount, if required.
Irrespective of the mode of fiscal document creation, only the taxes captured into Fiscal Document Tax Amount
are processed to downstream transactions. After a fiscal document is registered and validated in the application,
corresponding inventory details (through goods receipts) and supplier liability (through Payables invoices) are
automatically created.
Taxes on receipt are handled during the receipt accounting process. This treatment is based on the setup
created within Configuration Owner Tax Options defined for the Billing Business Unit/Legal Entity.
RETURN TO VENDOR FISCAL DOCUMENTS
In case of return receipts, a return shipment is created and a return fiscal document is generated against it. Tax
treatment in this case is similar to the standard approach. Taxes are handled during the receipt accounting
process and those captured on the original goods receipt are reversed.
COMPLEMENTARY FISCAL DOCUMENTS
If there is any discrepancy in the fiscal document sent by the supplier on any aspects relating to price, quantity
or tax, then a complementary fiscal document is issued by the supplier for rectifying the same. Where
complementary fiscal documents involve price or tax corrections, the tax amount notified in the fiscal document
is also taken as Calculated Tax Amount, as the transaction information would not be sufficient for invoking a tax
call.
PAYABLES INVOICE ASSOCIATED WITH FISCAL DOCUMENT
If Fiscal Document Capture is not implemented, then you have the option to register a service fiscal document
directly for a Payables invoice by classifying various charge types, calculating taxes (as per Brazil
requirements), and capturing fiscal attributes.
In this process, associated charges on a transaction could be classified as Freight, Insurance, Packing Charges,
Miscellaneous, and Commercial discount using the attribute value Fiscal Charge Type and allocating them to
Item lines. Based on the taxable basis formula associated with a tax, charge details allocated to an item line
are included in the taxable basis formula.
In case of fiscal document capture using the Fiscal Document Capture application and interfaced to a Payables
invoice, taxes applied on the fiscal document are always carried to the invoice.
However, for the applicable accounting, variances are calculated based on the difference between the taxes
considered at the time of receipt.
PROCESS AND MANAGE SUPPLIER PAYMENTS
Payables has been enhanced to support business requirements for Brazil related to supplier payments. Use the
following features to manage bank collection documents, process payments through banks, and calculate
interest and late charges according to local rules:
174
Update Payables invoice to Enable Collection Document Processing so installments are placed on hold
until they are applied to a collection document.
Update installments with interest and penalty calculation parameters like interest type, interest formula,
penalty type, and grace days.
Import bank collection documents into the application or enter them manually. The collection document
includes information such as barcode number, supplier, payment amount, due date, discount, penalties,
and interest details.
Associate a collection document with one or multiple invoice installments either manually or
automatically. Once the association of the installment is completed, the installment is released from hold.
When invoices are paid after the due date, calculate interest and penalties as per agreed terms with the
supplier. The interest can be simple interest or compound interest, and penalty can be an amount or
percentage. You can define grace days based on the type of interest that is charged.
Define a business day calendar and local holidays for the city, on which the due date is determined.
Interest is calculated on overdue invoices based on the due date.
Use Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) to automate payment order transfers between the company and the
bank. You can pay multiple third parties in the same file, using the FEBRABAN (Brazilian Bank
Federation) standard layout.
Import Bank Return file with the payments that have been processed or rejected by bank.

TAXPAYER ID AND TAX REGISTRATION VALIDATION FOR BRAZIL

CNPJ, CPF, IE, IM and SUFRAMA are different types of tax registrations and taxpayer identifiers issued by the
federal revenue bureau, fiscal authorities and government agencies in Brazil.
These are identification numbers required for companies doing business in Brazil whenever they are selling or
shipping goods, providing services, paying taxes, requesting approval for fiscal document generation, collecting
from customers or processing payments through banks, reporting taxes, and so on. ERP Cloud provides the
infrastructure to capture, maintain, and validate such information for enterprise, suppliers, customers and other
parties in the Manage Legal Entity Registrations, Manage Legal Reporting Unit Registrations, and Manage Tax
Registrations of Legal Reporting Unit Tax Profile, Third-Party Tax Profiles and Third-Party Site Tax Profiles.
175
CNPJ (Cadastro Nacional da Pessoa Juridica or LEGAL ENTITY NATIONAL REGISTRATION)
CNPJ is an identification number issued to Brazilian companies by the Federal Revenue Bureau in Brazil. Also,
distinct CNPJ numbers are required for each company branch operating in a different address. The CNPJ of the
fiscal document issuer is mandatory information for tax authorities and can also be required for bank collection
and payment processing.
For first parties, CNPJ must be defined as Legal Entity and Legal Reporting Unit registrations during Manage
Legal Entity Registrations and Manage Legal Reporting Unit Registrations tasks.
For customers, suppliers and other third parties, CNPJ should be defined as Taxpayer Identifier number at
Manage Tax Registrations of Third-Party Tax Profiles and Third-Party Site Tax Profiles. This information is
validated for uniqueness, format, and check digit requirements.
CPF (Cadastro de Pessoas Físicas - INDIVIDUALS REGISTRATION)
CPF is the registration number for individuals maintained as Suppliers, Customers, or other third parties
involved in transaction flows. It is not maintained for Legal Entity and Legal reporting Units. CPF is assigned by
the Brazilian Federal Revenue Bureau to individual tax payers, and it is necessary to perform any legal or
commercial activity.
CPF should be defined as Taxpayer Identifier number at Manage Tax Registrations of Third-Party Tax Profiles
and Third-Party Site Tax Profiles. This information is validated for uniqueness, format, and check digit
requirements.
IE (Inscrição Estadual - STATE REGISTRATION)
The State Inscription Number is a registration assigned by state fiscal authorities for ICMS tax. All companies
that are required to pay ICMS tax must be registered to have an IE registration number. Companies doing
business in more than one state should have a different IE for each state. Also, State Inscription Numbers of
first party and third parties are necessary for tax reporting and fiscal documents.
For first parties, IE should be defined as Legal Reporting Unit tax registration in Manage Tax Registrations of
Legal Reporting Unit Tax Profile. For customers, suppliers and other third parties, IE should be defined as Tax
Registration number in Manage Tax Registrations of Third-Party Tax Profiles and Third-Party Site Tax Profiles.
This information is validated for uniqueness, format, and check digit requirements.
IM (Inscrição Municipal – MUNICIPAL INSCRIPTION NUMBER)
The Municipal Inscription Number is the tax payer identification number in the Municipal Tax Register. This
registration is required for companies providing services and which are required to pay ISS tax to the city.
Companies doing business in multiple cities should have a different IM for each city. Also, Municipal Inscription
Numbers of first party and third parties are necessary for tax reporting and service fiscal documents.
For first parties, IM should be defined as Legal Reporting Unit tax registration in Manage Tax Registrations of
Legal Reporting Unit Tax Profile. For customers, suppliers and other third parties, IM should be defined as Tax
Registration number in Manage Tax Registrations of Third-Party Tax Profiles and Third-Party Site Tax Profiles.
This information is validated for uniqueness.
SUFRAMA (Super Intendencia da Zona Franca de Manaus - MANAUS FREE TRADE ZONE AGENCY)
SUFRAMA is the “Manaus free trade zone agency” responsible for managing both incoming and outgoing
goods in the area affected by the fiscal benefits. Companies in this area should register in SUFRAMA to get a
registration number. This information is required for fiscal documents related to transactions with applicable tax
benefits. The SUFRAMA registration of the ship-to party must be shown in those fiscal documents and for tax
reporting.
SUFRAMA should be defined as Taxpayer Identifier number in Manage Tax Registrations of Third-Party Tax
Profiles and Third-Party Site Tax Profiles. This information is validated for uniqueness, format, and check digit
requirements.
176
VALIDATION PROCESSING AND RESULTS
The tax registration validation process verifies the tax registrations and tax payer IDs for Brazil based upon the
validation rule setup. The process can also be utilized to configure additional user-defined validations.
Users may configure a validation failure to end with a warning or error.
Warning: This option will perform all necessary validations and, in case of a failure, will store the entry

TRANSACTION TAX FOR BRAZIL

Oracle ERP Cloud offers comprehensive support for tax calculations and processing for Brazil.
Use the following enhanced features to ensure compliance with statutory regulations:
Value addition during tax calculation
Certain taxes in Brazil like ICMS-ST require estimation of the final price of the product in the hands of the
end user, for evaluating the tax amount on a transaction. This estimated final price is arrived at by
applying a value addition percentage, as notified by the tax authority, on the transaction amount.You can
configure this setup through taxable basis formula.
In the taxable basis formula, if the country associated with the tax regime is Brazil, then an option is
enabled for specifying value addition information. Different value addition percentages can be configured
based on various transaction parameters like:
Ship from geography

Ship to geography
Product Fiscal Classification
177
Transaction Business Category
Intended Use
Priorities can be set for specifying the evaluation sequence of these transaction conditions.
Price thresholds during tax calculation
Certain taxes in Brazil require application of notified thresholds on prices of items quoted on a
transaction. You can configure this setup through taxable basis formula.
In the taxable basis formula, if the country associated with the tax regime is Brazil, then an option is
enabled for specifying price threshold information. It can be configured based on various transaction
parameters like:
Ship from geography

Ship to geography
Product Fiscal Classification
Transaction Business Category
Intended Use
Priorities can be set for specifying the evaluation sequence of these transaction conditions.
Price threshold values can be defined on the basis of fixed price, or minimum or maximum
threshold options. If the fixed price option is set, then the specified price is used as item price for deriving
the taxable basis amount for the transaction line. If minimum or maximum thresholds option is used, then
the item price is compared against the given range of values and appropriate value is considered if it
goes beyond the given range.
Charges during tax calculation
Certain taxes in Brazil require inclusion of charges while calculating the taxable basis value of a
transaction line. You can configure this setup through taxable basis formula.
If the taxable basis type within a taxable basis formula is specified as Line amount, then you have an
option to add freight, insurance, packing charges, miscellaneous, and subtract commercial discount on
the transaction line value.
If a transaction line is categorized into any of the above charge types i.e. freight, insurance,
miscellaneous, packing charges, or commercial discount, and if the taxable basis formula of a tax is
configured to consider these values during tax calculation, then the corresponding allocated values from
these lines (to the Item lines) are added/subtracted while calculating the taxable basis value of that tax.
Fiscal Document Generation
Whenever goods are shipped to a customer, or services are provided in Brazil, they should be supported
by a fiscal document incorporating all the related information. The generated fiscal document is to be pre-
authorized by the tax authority, before it is sent to the customer through electronic mode (XML file) or as
a physical copy. Fiscal documents must include all applicable transaction taxes, correctly calculated
based upon the requirements of the tax authorities.
Fiscal documents can be generated from one of the following sources:
Receivables (invoices related to orders)

Shipping (for returns to vendors and internal material transfers)
The calculation of taxes on a generated fiscal document is standard with no changes for Brazil specific
taxes.
For information on Fiscal Document Generation, refer to the Order to Cash for Brazil feature.
178
Fiscal Document Capture
Tax treatment on fiscal documents received from suppliers ensures that taxes included on the documents
received are retained as source of truth, but verified and reconciled to taxes calculated using the tax
setup. When receiving a fiscal document from a supplier, the required transaction and tax determinants
are captured and maintained in order to calculate the applicable taxes.
For fiscal document capture, taxes are calculated in the following steps:
During XML import process

During fiscal document capture validation
Manually requested by user from the Fiscal Document page using the Calculate Tax option
To ensure the correct taxable basis:
Charges, such as freight, insurance, and packing, as well as commercial discounts, are allocated
to the fiscal document lines during the fiscal document capture process.
PO schedules with same price that are associated with a single fiscal document line will use a
single PO price.
Manual override of the calculated tax amounts can be performed to ensure the amounts are
correct.
To provide comparable values that can be used to verify the tax amount received on the fiscal document:
Both the calculated amounts and user updated amounts are stored and can be viewed for a fiscal
document.
The taxes calculated by Tax, for which there is no corresponding tax on the imported fiscal
document, are added to the tax lines for the document and marked appropriately.
The taxes received on the imported fiscal documents, for which there is no corresponding tax
calculated, can be viewed on the document and marked appropriately.
During validation, a tolerance check is performed between the calculated and imported values and
verified against a configurable tolerance limit. If exceeded the fiscal document can be placed on
hold.
FREIGHT FISCAL DOCUMENTS
Special processing is performed for freight fiscal documents. When a freight fiscal document is received and
matched with receipt lines associated with purchase orders, the details are sent to Payables during invoice
creation. During the tax calculation, taxes calculated on the fiscal document are pro-rated to each invoice
line. This percentage also applies during the process of filling for recoverable taxes.
RECOVERY PROCESSING OF PAYABLE INVOICES
When processing Payables invoices for tax recovery, taxes calculated on the source fiscal document are pro-
rated to invoice lines. If any of the taxes are for ICMS, PIS or COFINS on the freight fiscal document but not on
the corresponding goods fiscal document, the tax lines are marked for tax recovery calculation.
COMPLEMENTARY FISCAL DOCUMENT PROCESSING
Special processing is performed for managing complementary fiscal documents. A complementary fiscal
document is received from a supplier when there is a price, quantity or tax amount change to a previous fiscal
document already received. In case of quantity correction, taxes calculated on the original fiscal document are
pro-rated to complementary fiscal document line based on quantity corrected. In case of price or tax corrections,
taxes from the complementary fiscal document are updated on the original fiscal document as the basis for tax
calculations, including new tax lines.
For information on Fiscal Document Capture, refer to the Procure to Pay for Brazil feature.

2. Create a Transaction Tax Regime and assign the Country as Brazil. The specific features for transaction
taxes for Brazil will be enabled in the Tax configuration.
WITHHOLDING TAX FOR BRAZIL

ERP Cloud offers comprehensive support for Brazil withholding taxes by handling tax thresholds, schedule
rates, supplier exemptions, and allowing withholding calculation at both invoicing and receipt time.
The following withholding tax features can now be configured for Brazil:
Withholding amount deduction per dependent
This feature can be used for IRPF tax implementation which is an income tax for individuals and is
withheld upon payment. There are deductions allowed for suppliers by their number of dependents.
Dependents can be economically dependent persons, like children until 21 years old, or partners with no
income.
Calculation of Withholding Tax on Transaction taxes
Withholding tax calculation can be on gross amount including transaction taxes, instead of being on the
total item lines amount.
This feature can be used for ISS tax calculation which is a municipal tax payable on services performed
by companies or individuals. ISS is an inclusive transaction tax but depending on the type of service, city
where the service was provided, city of the supplier, and supplier registration status, this tax can be
withheld by customer.
The withholding solution is also extended to Receivables to comply with tax authority requirements for Fiscal
Documents. You are now able to:
Calculate withholding taxes on Receivables Invoices prior to generation of the Fiscal Document, as these
taxes need to be reported on the Fiscal Document that is generated and sent to the Tax Authority for
approval.
Re-calculate the withholding taxes while the corresponding fiscal document is not yet sent to the Tax
Authority or not in correction mode.
Review the calculated withholding amounts on Receivables Transactions. Both invoicing-time and receipt-
time withholding calculation amounts are displayed.
Correct receipt-time withholding taxes in case of differences between the actual withholding tax amounts
and calculated taxes.
