The Procure to Pay cycle is vital to an organization as in this process the organization buys and receive goods or services from its vendors and makes necessary payments. Procure to Pay refers to recording the journey of transactions from requisitioning and procuring goods and services from suppliers to receiving them at their destination.

Multiperiod Accounting (MPA) in Oracle Fusion is a feature that allows users to create accounting entries for a single financial event across multiple accounting periods. It can be useful for situations where a single transaction spans multiple accounting periods, such as prepaid expenses. There are certain expenses which are incurred once but you want to apportion those expenses over a period of time. Ex: Software licenses, if you purchase a software license which is valid for one year. Setups Required : In case we want to use Pro-rate expenses by number of periods we don’t to need to configure anything, this is a default setting. If you want apportion the expense based on a number of days in a month, then custom SLA setups are needed.

Customer Numbering in Fusion

By
Image
I am going to explain about Customer Numbering in this post.  When we create customers in Oracle, system automatically creates the customer number. Customer number is the unique number assigned for each customer when it is created. We can also set our custom sequence for the customer number in Oracle. How to set Customer Numbering for Party, Account and Site levels? Best practice is to have 1XX series for Party, 2XX series for Account and 3XX series for Site. Generally clients have same series across application, we can still have customer numbering generated at LE/Ledger level(this is very unlikely). This can be achieved by selecting determining type while defining document sequence. Clients generally go for same series across application. Task: Manage Document Sequences BILLING_ACCOUNT_NUMBER = Customer Account Number PARTY_SITE_NUMBER = Customer Site Number REGISTRY_ID = Customer Party/Registry Number BILLING_ACCOUNT_SITE_USE_NUM = Site Uses Number How to ove...
