The revenue budget and forecast generation process now recognizes bill rates overrides and considers billable status of tasks, assignments, and requirements. Also, you can now generate a cost budget from a workplan with cost disabled. Metalink When you generate revenue budget or revenue forecast from a staffing plan, if the bill rates are overridden on the project assignments or requirements, the overriding rates are used to calculate the revenue amounts. Otherwise, the standard rates on the target version are used. Metalink When you generate revenue budget or revenue forecast from a workplan, a financial plan or a staffing plan, the billability of tasks, project assignments or project requirements is evaluated. If the task, project assignment or project requirement is not billable, then the revenue amounts for the budget or the Metalink
Some businesses need to generate the cost budget based solely on the workplan effort. Metalink The budget or forecast generation is enhanced to provide visibility on rejections of rates such as missing cost rates, bill rates or conversion rates in the source workplan or financial plan. You have the choice to fix the rates setup and correct the source or ignore the planning lines with missing rates for budget or forecast Metalink This release includes several enhancements to streamline the creation of issues and changes, as well as the implementation of changes into budgets and forecasts.

The transaction flow for expense reports is the same for contingent workers and employees. All expense report entry methods available for capturing employee expenses are also supported for contingent workers. However, payment processing differs for contingent workers in that the payee for contingent worker Metalink 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. This feature offers the ability for line level Metalink This enhancement provides for recognizing partial payments or for reversing the cost when a payment is made. It also allows a reconciliation of the cost recorded in Oracle Project Costing with the cost recognized in Oracle General Ledger, therefore, improving the accuracy of costing your projects. Metalink
The commitment and cost reporting processes in Oracle Project Costing have been enhanced to support these new features. With this release, you can now adjust supplier cost in Oracle Project Costing under some some conditions. When supplier cost is adjusted in Oracle Grants Accounting, the accounting entries required to report the adjustment activity are generated and interfaced to Oracle General Ledger by Oracle Project Costing.

Oracle Applications R12 - New Features
Additional Information The Matching Principle is a fundamental accounting directive that mandates that revenue and its associated cost of goods sold must be recognized in the same accounting period. This enhancement will automate the matching of Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) for a sales order line to the revenue that is billed for that sales order line. Prior to this enhancement, The Cost Processor defers the recognition of COGS for a sales order issue transaction by placing the balance of the cost of the shipment into a deferred COGS account and journal line type. 1) The Cost Processor now transfers the balance from the deferred account to the COGS account in the same proportion of revenue recognized for an order line. Oracle Receivables publishes a business event when the revenue recognition percentage changes. 1) If a sales order shipment line does not get interfaced to Receivables, its associated deferred COGS balance is transferred to COGS when it is closed. Oracle Order Management will raise a business event to Cost Management when the noninterfaced shipment line is closed. 1) RMAs that reference a sales order shipment line with a deferred COGS balance will credit that balance when the accounting for the RMA receipt is performed. The credit will be apportioned between the deferred and actual COGS balances to maintain the existing revenue/COGS recognition percentage. 1)Revenue/COGS matching is supported in the customer-facing operating unit for drop shipments to customers. Intermediate (internal) operating units will not defer interorg COGS or match it to the inter-org revenue. 1)Revenue/COGS matching is supported configured items. Assemble-to-Order (ATO) synchronize and match revenue/COGS recognition for the top model. Pick-to-Order (PTO) synchronize and match revenue/COGS recognition The way RMA receipts into inventory are valued. Previously an RMA receipt replenishes inventory at the current on-hand inventory valuation. With this enhancement a referenced RMA is received into inventory at its original sales order issue cost. This ensures accurate and consistent revenue/COGS Introduces a dependency in the Receivables and Costing period close processes. Since the goal is to match revenue and COGS in each accounting period, Costing will process COGS recognition events in a closed inventory period until the Receivables period status is set to CLOSED. This report lists revenue/COGS matching by sales order line, displaying the deferred/actual COGS balances as well as the unearned/earned revenue balances. The report R12 Discrete Mfg. Release Content Document, Rev. 01 Oracle Cost Management - CST 25 flags lines where the COGS recognition percentage does not match the revenue The new Oracle Subledger Accounting (SLA) architecture allows users to customize the standard Oracle accounting entries.

Oracle Cost Management adds its support to the OPM (Oracle Process Manufacturing) Inventory convergence initiative. In the past, Oracle process manufacturing customers used OPMs Inventory Management module. With this release OPM customers can migrate to Oracle Inventory for their inventory management needs. Support for lot-based materials that have a fixed usage regardless of the job size for discrete WIP jobs, OSFM lot-based jobs and Flow Manufacturing. This feature provides a more accurate valuation of assembly cost where fixed quantities of materials are used for a job. 1) Users now have the flexibility to control the value of component yield factors at WIP job level. The transaction logic now considers pre-yield BOM quantity per assembly rather than the quantity inflated by shrinkage. This enhancement eliminates the generation of unrealizable decimal quantities in WIP jobs.

Ii) Decommission Assembly Cost rollup:1) Oracle Cost Management now supports direct item delivery of service line types to EAM work orders. There is however no support for Outside Processing. i) EAM Direct Item Delivery of PO Service Lines:- Oracle Cost Management now supports direct item delivery of service line EAM work orders. There is however no support for Outside Processing. ii) Install Base Convergence:- The Cost Estimations process and the Cost processor are enhanced to support the mapping between an EAM Asset and an IB Instance. iii) EAM Budgeting and Forecasting Support:- In prior releases costs calculated by the cost estimations process are stored on the basis of maintenance cost buckets: Equipment Labor Material This method of bucketing estimated charges does not provide visibility as to the GL accounts being charged. The Cost Estimations process is modified to specify the GL accounts that are setup to be charged. This information can then be used for budgeting and forecasting purposes. Oracle Cost Management now supports costing for Chargeable Subcontracting. Chargeable Subcontracting is a concept used in Japan, Korea and Taiwan with subcontract manufacturers. On delivery of OSA items any difference between current standard cost and OSA price is posted to a Chargeable Subcontracting Variance account instead of a Purchase Price Variance account. Oracle Cost Management adds support for the architectural changes introduced by Oracle Payables in this release.The Period-End Accruals, Accrual Reconciliation and Periodic Costing processes and the associated reports are enhanced to support the new Payables architecture. Oracle Cost Management adds support for the new Bonus During Move transaction introduced by Oracle Shop Floor Management. The Bonus transaction entered during a move is costed in the same manner as an Update Quantity transaction. 1) The job close program and the job close variance program are migrated from Pro*C to PL/SQL. 2) This enhancement provides performance improvements but does not change job close functionality.

Additional Information The Matching Principle is a fundamental accounting directive that mandates that revenue and its associated cost of goods sold must be recognized in the same accounting period. This enhancement will automate the matching of Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) for a sales order line to the revenue that is billed for that sales order line. Prior to this enhancement, The Cost Processor defers the recognition of COGS for a sales order issue transaction by placing the balance of the cost of the shipment into a deferred COGS account and journal line type. 1) The Cost Processor now transfers the balance from the deferred account to the COGS account in the same proportion of revenue recognized for an order line. Oracle Receivables publishes a business event when the revenue recognition percentage changes. 1) If a sales order shipment line does not get interfaced to Receivables, its associated deferred COGS balance is transferred to COGS when it is closed. Oracle Order Management will raise a business event to Cost Management when the noninterfaced shipment line is closed. 1) RMAs that reference a sales order shipment line with a deferred COGS balance will credit that balance when the accounting for the RMA receipt is performed. The credit will be apportioned between the deferred and actual COGS balances to maintain the existing revenue/COGS recognition percentage. 1)Revenue/COGS matching is supported in the customer-facing operating unit for drop shipments to customers. Intermediate (internal) operating units will not defer interorg COGS or match it to the inter-org revenue. 1)Revenue/COGS matching is supported configured items. Assemble-to-Order (ATO) synchronize and match revenue/COGS recognition for the top model. Pick-to-Order (PTO) synchronize and match revenue/COGS recognition The way RMA receipts into inventory are valued. Previously an RMA receipt replenishes inventory at the current on-hand inventory valuation. With this enhancement a referenced RMA is received into inventory at its original sales order issue cost. This ensures accurate and consistent revenue/COGS Introduces a dependency in the Receivables and Costing period close processes. Since the goal is to match revenue and COGS in each accounting period, Costing will process COGS recognition events in a closed inventory period until the Receivables period status is set to CLOSED. This report lists revenue/COGS matching by sales order line, displaying the deferred/actual COGS balances as well as the unearned/earned revenue balances. The report R12 Discrete Mfg. Release Content Document, Rev. 01 Oracle Cost Management - CST 25 flags lines where the COGS recognition percentage does not match the revenue recognition The new Oracle Subledger Accounting (SLA) architecture allows users to customize the standard Oracle accounting entries. As a result of Cost Managements uptake of this new architecture, users can customize Receiving, Inventory and Work in Process transactions. Accounting entries are generated in a manner consistent with previous releases but are Users can control every aspect of the subledger journal entries associated with a subledger transaction. Users can define rules based on data drawn from subledger transactions, controlling which types of journal lines are created, how accounting flexfields are derived and how journal entries are described.

The Accrual Reconciliation report and the associated Write-Off process are enhanced to improve processing performance and feature usability. The transaction data load process is run independently from the Accrual Reconciliation report generation process. Data for balanced accrual transactions are no longer stored. This significantly reduces the volume of generated data increases processing performance. 1) The Accrual Reconciliation Summary Report allows users to view the accrual accounts with outstanding balances. For each account the accrual balance by transaction type is displayed. 2) The Payables and Purchase Order Accrual Reconciliation Report allow users to view Three new accrual Write-Offs forms allow users to write-off aged or erroneous accrual balances. The Payables and Purchase Order Write-Off form displays accrual balances at the PO distribution level. The user can select a specific distribution and view the associated The accounting template for periodic costing inter-organization transfers is now consistent with the template used for perpetual cost methods. The template adds inter-org Payables/Receivables, in-transit and accounting by cost group. The periodic item cost is calculated after taking into account all cost owned transactions rather than being calculated after each transaction. This enhancement produces a more accurate periodic item cost and minimizes the generation of variances. The Periodic Item Cost Change report provides details on the calculation of each items

Material overhead absorption rules are now supported in periodic average cost organizations. Metalink Enterprise Asset Management work orders are now supported in periodic average costing organizations. The Periodic Cost Estimations processor allows users to estimate EAM work order costs based on an items periodic average cost. Metalink Periodic average cost processes respect the WIP job final completion flag. If the final completion flag is checked, all incurred costs will be absorbed into the completion cost.
Metalink
Users can optionally base the completion costs on the required quantity defined on the jobs Bill of Material rather than the actual quantity issued to the job. When the completion cost is based on actual quantity, unrelieved scrap values are absorbed into the completion cost. When the completion cost is based on required quantity, unrelieved scrap values are absorbed into the completion cost only when the final completion flag is checked.

As-of Date 1) On-hand, Intransit, and Receiving valuation reports have a new optional As-Of Date parameter.

This facilitates the timely identification and resolution of costing errors and minimizes problems during the period close process. Metalink This new report displays the details of all transactions preventing period close. This report, based on Oracle XML Publisher technology can be easily customized to meet user requirements. Oracle Cost Management adds its support to the OPM (Oracle Process Manufacturing) Inventory convergence initiative. In the past, Oracle process manufacturing customers used OPMs Inventory Management module. With this release OPM customers can migrate to Oracle Inventory for their inventory management needs. Support for lot-based materials that have a fixed usage regardless of the job size for discrete WIP jobs, OSFM lot-based jobs and Flow Manufacturing. This feature provides a more accurate valuation of assembly cost where fixed quantities of materials are used for a job. 1) Users now have the flexibility to control the value of component yield factors at WIP job level. The transaction logic now considers pre-yield BOM quantity per assembly rather than the quantity inflated by shrinkage. This enhancement eliminates the generation of unrealizable decimal quantities in WIP jobs.

1) Oracle Cost Management processes are enhanced to support the new Ledger and Legal Entity architecture. In this new architecture, Ledgers replace Set of Books. Each Operating Unit is associated with a Primary Ledger. Multiple Legal Entities can be tied to a Ledger through the accounting set up flow. The existing link between Operating Unit and Legal Multi-Org Access Control enables companies that implement 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 as users no longer i) Creating Snapshot of Bill of Materials:The Supply Chain Rollup process is enhanced to optionally store a snapshot of the Bill of Materials used.
