Oracle R12 – Accounts Payable Differences Document 2
Document Summary The purpose of this document is to document PwC’s understanding of the any functionality, configuration or reports in the Oracle Release 12 (R12) ERP system Accounts Payable module. The document will benchmark the functionality available in R11 (11i) against R12 to understand any changes that will have to be made to PwC Oracle Training, Practice Aids/Control Matrices and the OracleGATE tool. This document is not a comprehensive list of all configuration changes and new functionality available in R12. The items documented are those that were considered to be of relevance to PwC for Financial Audit Support and Consulting purposes. Please note that R11 installs often have been significantly tailored and that tailoring may have additional impact not noted in this document.

Configuration/Functionality Changes This section will provide a brief overview of any new or changed functionality in the module. Where possible/relevant, a process flowchart will show the typical high level process within the module. It will also identify if R12 will provide any additional functionality to the user that may be of interest from both a financial audit and consulting perspective. Additional/Changed R12 Accounts Payable Functionality Financial Impact: Accounts Receivable / Accounts Payable Netting When a trading partner is both a customer and a supplier, the organisation may choose to offset open receivables’ against open payables’ items. Netting Agreements add trading partner terms as well as deploying company controls. A selection program automatically pulls information from Oracle Receivables and Oracle Payables taking into consideration discounts, late fees, and withholding taxes prior to determining the final netting amount. A review process and trading partner approval afford further verification to support the netting event. Financing: Advances and Progressive Contract Financing Advances are generally one-time prepayments made before work on the contract begins while contract financing infuses money to the supplier as work progresses. Oracle Payables ensures that the amounts financed are recovered by automatically applying financing to subsequent invoices per the specific terms captured in the purchase order. Operational Impact: Multi-Org Access Control Multi-Org Access Control enables companies that have implemented a Shared Services operating model to efficiently process business transactions by allowing them to access, process, and report on data for an unlimited number of operating units within a single applications responsibility. This increases the productivity of Shared Service Centers for users no longer have to switch applications responsibilities when processing transactions for multiple operating units at a time. Data security is still maintained using security profiles that are defined for a list of operating units and determine the data access privileges for a user. With enhanced Multi-Org Access Control feature in Oracle Payables, access to transactional data for multiple operating units is now available to users with a single responsibility. By leveraging this feature in a shared services environment, companies can achieve significant savings in operating costs without compromising data security. Users can use the Oracle Applications Multiple Organization Support feature to use multiple ledgers for one Payables installation. They can then assign a unique ledger (with its unique calendar, chart of accounts, and ledger currency) to each organization they define. When organisations assign responsibilities using function security they can limit a user to one organization's ledger. In addition to its original title, the organization name is displayed in the header of reports also. With the Multiple Organization Support feature organisations can segregate transactions by operating unit but they can still choose to share certain information, such as supplier information, between organizations so the information needs to be entered only once.
Oracle R12 – Accounts Payable Differences Document 4
Legal Entities The new Legal Entity architecture provides the ability to model an enterprise’s legal organizational structure and define rules and attributes specific to legal entities. With adoption of the Legal Entity architecture, Oracle Payables captures transactional data within the context of legal entity owning this data, thus enabling better, more streamlined statutory compliance. In Oracle Payables, Legal Entities is visible explicitly on payables' transactions. Subledger Accounting Oracle Payables leverages Oracle Subledger Accounting to provide detailed, fully auditable accounting representations of Payables transactions. Via a flexible rules-based methodology, users can easily create and modify their accounting policies, rapidly implement changing external or regulatory requirements with a minimum of disruption, and create multiple representations of transactions to meet fiscal and management reporting needs simultaneously. See the Oracle Subledger Accounting practice aid for further details. Enhanced Invoice Approval Includes Line Level Approval With the introduction of Invoice Lines, users are able to further extend their approval policy granularity in Oracle Approvals Management for individual lines of an invoice. Notification details are targeted to the level of approval required and embedded with a view of the invoice including summary amounts, essential line information, approver sequence, and attachments. Approvers of invoices submitted without a purchase order can enter accounting details as they approve. Introduction of Invoice Lines Oracle Payables incorporates Invoice Lines into the invoice model. Adding Invoice Lines is a key architectural change, which enables Oracle Payables to better model the paper or electronic business document yet maintain key features that exist at the invoice distributions level. Merged into the current invoice transaction business flows, Invoice Lines supports the representation of the goods or services as well as tax, freight, and other charges as lines with distributions tied to each line. Additional fields record attributes such as serial numbers and item descriptions. This feature offers the ability for line level approval and matching between an invoice line and a purchase order shipment pay item, or receipt. Furthermore, it facilitates the capture and transfer of additional, pertinent information to and from Oracle Projects and Oracle Assets.

Approval Process Oracle Approvals Management (AME) provides a parallel approval process. The approval parallelization shortens the time that a transaction's approval process requires. The approval

Payment Setup > System Security Options
System security options enable the organisation to set security options for payment instrument encryption, masking, and credit card control. These options are used for both funds capture and funds disbursement processes. Payments uses the settings to handle security issues, such as encrypting payment instrument sensitive data, payment instrument masking, and credit card owner verification controls. Setting Up the Wallet Payments perform system key management using features from Oracle Wallet Manager. The wallet is a file, which stores the system key. The contents of the wallet file are managed by Oracle Wallet Manager. Storing the system key in the wallet file provides greater security for the encrypted payment instrument data since the system key resides outside the Payments database. The purpose of setting up the wallet in the Wallet Setup page is to: • specify the location of the wallet file • define the password for the wallet file • specify whether to generate the system key manually or let the system do it Defining the Wallet File Password To define the password for the wallet file in the Wallet Setup page, enter any string. This password is used to encrypt the wallet file. Specifying or Generating the System Key File Location In the Wallet Setup page, the organisation can provide the system key by specifying the location of the system key file or the organisation can let the system generate the system key for the organisation. In either case, the specified or generated key is put into the wallet file and encrypted with the password the organisation provides. Encrypting Payment Instruments In the System Security Options setup page, the organisation specifies whether they want to enable or disable encryption of payment instruments and whether they wish the encryption to occur immediately when new payment instruments are registered or be performed on a regularly scheduled basis for performance reasons.
Oracle R12 – Accounts Payable Differences Document 12
Masking Payment Instruments In the System Security Options setup page, credit card numbers and external bank account numbers can be masked by selecting the number of digits to mask and display. For example, a credit card number of XXXX8012 represents a display of the last four digits and a masking of all the rest. These settings specify masking for payment instrument numbers in the user interfaces of many applications. Verifying Credit Card Owners This option enables the organisation to require users to enter the credit card security code and/or credit card statement billing address. This information is passed to the payment system, which in turn, checks with the credit card issuer to confirm the credit card owner's security code and/or statement billing address. Setting Up Transmission Configurations A transmission configuration implements a specific transmission protocol, which allows the delivery of a transaction to a specific payment system or financial institution.

Approval Use Invoice Approval Workflow
Check Box No Use Invoice Approval Workflow. Enable this option if the organisation wants to use the Invoice Approval Workflow feature to automate their invoice approval process. The workflow determines if an invoice needs any individuals to approve payment of the entire invoice (document) or invoice line, and if so, automatically routes the invoice to designated approvers who then approve or reject the invoice document or line. When they enable this option, almost all invoices must be processed by the Invoice Approval Workflow.

Enable this option if the organisation uses the Invoice Approval Workflow Program and want to allow accounts payable processors to override the workflow and manually approve invoices or invoice lines.

Update Matured Bills Payable Status
After the organisation submits the Update Matured Bills Payable Status process, Oracle Payables prints the Matured Bills Payable Report. This report shows the bills payable that the program successfully updated. The report also shows in the Exceptions section any payments that the program selected, but did not update.
C
Bills Payable Maturity Date Report
Use this report to review the amounts and maturity dates of bills payable that have not yet matured. This can help the organisation estimate cash needs by showing the amounts of bills payable due to mature on a specific date. Note that this report uses only the payment's maturity date, and does not use information from Oracle Cash Management to identify whether the payment has actually cleared the bank. Data is grouped by maturity date for bills payable within a bank account, with subtotals for all payments in that bank account that have the same maturity date. Totals are for all payments for all accounts with the same currency and maturity date. If an exchange rate is not defined between the payment currency and the bank account currency, the subtotal for that maturity date does not include those amounts, and the report notifies of this.
C
