Oracle Purchasing New and changed functionalities.

1. Professional Buyers Work Center: Oracle Purchasing Release 12.0 speeds up daily
purchasing tasks with an enhanced Professional Buyers Work Center. Based on the latest webbased user interface models,the Work Center is a central Launch Pad from which buyers can
efficiently perform their daily tasks:
View and Act upon Requisition Demand
Create and Manage Orders and Agreements
Run Negotiation Events including Auctions and RFxs (requires Oracle Sourcing)
Manage Supplier Information
The Professional Buyers Work Center leverages Multi-Org Access Control (MOAC) by
allowing buyers to view and manage documents across all of the operating units they
service.
2. Negotiations in Oracle Sourcing: The Professional Buyers Work Center increases the drill
down capabilities between Oracle Purchasing and Oracle Sourcing. Buyers can now easily
navigate from purchasing to sourcing documents, and vice-versa, using a single, friendly user
interface.
3. Enhanced Catalog Access: Release 12.0 of Oracle Purchasing builds on the popularity of
Oracle iProcurements search capabilities by offering professional buyers a similar search
interface to easily find the items they need to procure. From the Demand Workbench, buyers can
access the catalog to find negotiated alternatives to non-catalog requests. While authoring
orders and agreements, buyers can use the catalog to quickly add items, thereby
accelerating the document creation process.
4. New Supplier Setup User Interface: Release 12.0 introduces a new HTML UI for managing
suppliers, which replaces the existing Suppliers Form.

The new UI delivers an improved layout for accessing all aspects of a supplier's
setup, providing a clear distinction between the supplier's company details and the
terms & controls that are used to manage the trading relationship. General and site
level setup parameters is now available on a single page and work has been done to
rationalize the organization of setup preferences across fewer sub-tabs to allow
administrators quicker access to information.
5. Document Styles : Document styles allow buying organizations to control the look and feel of
the application to match the needs of different purchasing documents. Through reusable
document styles, deploying organizations turn on or off various Oracle Purchasing
features, thereby simplifying the user interface.
When a purchasing document is created using a document style, disabled features are
hidden to simplify the user interface.
In addition, document styles provide the ability to appropriately name purchasing
documents to align more closely with the naming conventions of the deploying
organizations business. In other words, the same purchasing document type (e.g.
Standard Purchase Order) can assume different names based on the style applied.
6. Procurement for Complex Services: Release 12.0 will support acquisition of complex

services by allowing buyers to author, negotiate, execute and monitor complex contract payment
arrangements like progress payments, advances and retainage.
7. Multi-Org Access Control (MOAC) : 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.
In Release 12.0, Oracle Purchasing will leverage the new Multi-Org Access Control
capabilities to support more streamlined operation of Shared Procurement Service
Centers. Without changing Responsibility, and without closing windows, buyers will
now be able to view consolidated requisition demand spanning multiple operating units.
Using a single Responsibility, they will be able to manage demand (i.e. requisitions),
conduct sourcing events, enter into agreements and issue purchase orders on behalf
of any of the operating units that they serve. The operating units that they can transact on
behalf of will be controlled by the security profile associated with their responsibilities.
Similarly, receiving clerks will now be able to easily inquire about, plan for and receive
expected shipments against purchase orders or requisitions or RMAs originating in
multiple operating units without needing to close windows and change responsibilities.
8. Document Publishing Enhancements: Release 12.0 further enhances the 11i10 feature, which
introduced the ability to generate purchasing documents in Adobe PDF format.

9. Support for RTF and PDF layout templates: In Release 11i10, generation of purchasing
documents in Adobe PDF format required organizations to create layout templates in the form of
XSL-FO style sheets. With Release 12.0, organizations can also use RTF or PDF layout
templates, which require little training to configure and maintain.
10. Publish Contracts using user specified layout : Release12.0 enables buying organizations
to easily publish documents on demand using any predefined layout template. To generate a
document using a certain layout, organizations simply provide the layout name as a runtime
parameter while submitting the PO Output for Communication concurrent program.
11. Communicate Document Attachments to Suppliers: Release 12.0 enables buyers to
communicate all necessary document attachments to suppliers. Oracle Purchasing supports
various types of file attachments (MS Word, Excel, PDF etc.) that can be appended to purchasing
documents in addition to long and short text attachments. In previous releases, only text
attachments were communicated to suppliers. With Release 12.0, buyers can communicate all
necessary attachments to suppliers,including file attachments via email. When the system emails
a purchase order to the supplier, the corresponding file attachments appear in a zip file attached to
the email.
12. Oracle Supplier Network - Rapid Supplier Enablement: Oracle Supplier Network lets

Oracle Purchasing customers leverage pre-defined connectivity to quickly enable electronic

messaging with suppliers.
Release 12.0 is certified with the OSN, which ensures that all R12.0 Purchasing and Payables
XML documents are fully supported for end-to-end message routing and transformation over the
OSN. A quick start guide is provided to help buying organizations quickly connect R12.0 to the
OSN.
13. Maintain Sourcing Rules/ASLs for Agreement Items: Release 12.0 streamlines enabling

blanket agreements for automatic document sourcing in specific inventory organizations.

Release 12.0 allows finer control of how blanket agreements are enabled for automatic document
sourcing. Buyers can now choose to enable them only in specific inventory organizations. Thus,
buyers can negotiate a blanket agreement to fulfill requisition demand for a subset of inventory
organizations and enable the agreement for autosourcing only in those inventory organizations.
14. Support for Contractor Purchasing Users: Oracle Purchasing Release 12.0 introduces
support for contingent workers in the procurement process. Authorized contingent Purchasing
workers can raise requisitions, conduct negotiations, and create and maintain purchase orders.
15. Compliance to Packaging Constraints: Release 12.0 makes inventory replenishment more
efficient and less expensive by applying supplier-packaging constraints to replenishment choices.
16. Auto-Approval Tolerance for Change Orders: With Release 12.0, business users can use a
web-based interface to define tolerances for auto-approval of document revisions.

17. eAM Support for Services Procurement : Release 12.0 extends the support for Enterprise
Asset Manager (eAM) to include fixed price services line types.Now requesters can associate
maintenance Work Orders and Operation References for fixed price services requisition lines. The
existing eAM integration for goods and amount based requisition lines is still supported.
18. Model Complex Pricing for Blanket Line Items: With Release 12.0, Oracle Purchasing
extends the integration with Oracle Advanced Pricing to allow procurement professionals to
model complex pricing rules for items listed on Global Blanket Agreements. Requisitions and
orders sourced to these agreements can now leverage dynamic pricing formulas and/or modifiers
defined in Oracle Advanced Pricing, in addition to the agreement line price and price breaks.
19. Advanced Approval Support for Requisitions:
Release 12.0 of Oracle Purchasing further expands and enhances integration with the Oracle
Approvals Management product for approval routing of purchase requisitions.This integration
gives enterprises even more flexibility to configure their business approval processes. Key
enhancements are:
a) Position Hierarchy based Approvals: Position based hierarchies allow organizations the
flexibility to create reporting structures that remain stable regardless of personnel
changes.
b) Parallel Approvals: The Parallel Approvals functionality gives enterprises the option to
speed up the approvals process by routing a requisition to multiple approvers
simultaneously.
20. Support for FYI Notifications: Certain individuals or business roles need to be kept
informed of purchases and decisions, but do not necessarily need to take action against that
notification. Release 12.0 provides new functionality to allow certain individuals or roles to
review the purchases, but do not require any response from the recipient.
21. Subledger Accounting for Budgetary Control Actions: In Release 12.0, Oracle Purchasing
utilizes the new Subledger Architecture (SLA) for encumbrance accounting entries created for
documents in Oracle Purchasing and Oracle iProcurement. These entries will be available for
analysis and reporting with other SLA reports. Customers will also now be able to configure
accounting annotations for their purchasing encumbrance accounting entries.
22. New User Interface for Oracle Purchasing Setups: With Release 12.0, more user-friendly
and intuitive web-based user interfaces will replace the following existing Oracle Purchasing
setup forms. Thease all setup forms are changed in R12.

Define Buyers
Define Approval Groups
Assign Approval Groups
Define Purchasing Options
Define Receiving Options
Define Line Types
Define Document Types
Control Purchasing Periods
Setup Expense Account Rules
Define Hazard Classes

 Define UN Numbers
Define Quality Inspection Codes
Define Job and Category Association
The new UIs will also leverage MOAC, making it easier for system administrators to
Perform setups in multiple operating units in the context of a single application
responsibility.
23. Support for Unified Process Manufacturing/Discrete Inventory : Release 12.0 of Oracle

E-Business Suite merges the Oracle Process Inventory and Oracle Inventory applications into a
single version of Oracle Inventory that manages inventory across the entire E-Business Suite.

Oracle Genarel Ledger New and changed functionalities

Multi -org Access: (Oracle Financials Applications - Architectural changeVVIMP change in Multi org environment)-Changed functionality
1.

In Release 11i, a user assigned to an Operating Unit (OU) would process data from the products deployed in that
OU. To process data for another OU, a user would log out of the first and into the second. The data generated in that
OU would be accounted for according to rules generated by various product accounting engines, and posted to
general ledger in ways appropriate for the different products, some generating part of the detail at different times in
the process. General Ledger sets of books (Sob) were self-contained, reflecting the balances of the entity to which
youd assigned the Sob, and managed by users assigned to the Sob.
In Release 12.0, by contrast, users can be assigned to multiple operating units, and are supported
by processes and transactions that can span operating units. Their data is book-kept according to
rules stored in a single accounting engine,and the accounting is stored in subledger tables that are
standard across all products. Complete accounting is maintained for every appropriate event, and
all subledger entries are fully balanced and detailed. A single, common posting engine
summarizes to your required level of detail, and posts to General Ledger.Sets of Books are
replaced by the accounting entitys ledger for data, and its Ledger Set for processing, from
reporting, opening and closing, through allocations. Ledgers can be combined into ledger sets,
and GL users are assigned to the ledger sets. User access to multiple operating units is called
Multi-Org Access Control,(MOAC).
2. Multi-Org Access Control (Changed functionality): 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, as users and processes no longer have to switch applications responsibilities when
processing transactions for multiple operating units at a time. Data security and access privileges
are still maintained using security profiles that now support a list of operating units.
3. Multi-Org Security Profile Preferences(Changed functionality): A Multi-Org Security
Profile defines the list of operating units to which a user has access. If a user typically uses a
subset of the operating units in his security profile, he may set up Preferences to limit the
operating units available to him
during transaction processing. The user can also set a default operating unit to
minimize manual data entry when an operating unit context is required.
4. Enhanced Multi-Org Reporting(Changed functionality): Consistent with the Multi-Org
Access Control feature, users are able to run reports using two levels:
Ledger: The report runs for all operating units within a ledger to which the
user has access
Operating Unit: The report runs for a selected operating unit that belongs to
the users security profile.

5. Multi-Org Integration with Accounting Setup Manager:(New functionality) The

Accounting Setup Manager is a central location to define your accountingrelated setup across all
financial applications. Here, you can define your legal entities and their accounting context,
which includes the ledgers that will contain the accounting data for each legal entity. Multi-Org is
integrated into the Accounting Setup Manager such that users can define operating units and their
relationship to ledgers. For each operating unit, users can also select a legal entity to provide a
default legal context during transaction processing. This centralizes your setup and makes it
easier to inquire on and maintain
relationships between ledgers, legal entities, and operating units.
6.GL Accounting Setup- Simultaneous Accounting for Multiple Reporting Requirements:
(New functionality)
Companies that are global in nature and that have operations in different localities often have
multiple reporting requirements. These companies and their subsidiaries often need to satisfy the
accounting and reporting requirements for each country as well as those of the parent company.
This involves performing accounting in accordance with accounting principles and standards of
multiple countries and in different currencies, charts of accounts, and/or calendars. The reporting
requirements can also be statutory in nature, and one subsidiary may even need to satisfy multiple
sets of statutory requirements. Oracle General Ledger simplifies the simultaneous management of
the accounting for all of these different reporting requirements in this latest release. You are able
to define your legal entities and the setup needed to address each accounting and reporting
requirement using the Accounting Setup Manager. New enhancements and integration with
Subledger Accounting enable Oracle General Ledger to perform accounting for all reporting
requirements of a legal entity simultaneously.
7. Centralized Accounting Setup(New feature): The Accounting Setup Manager is a central

location to define your accounting-related setup across all financial applications. Here you can
define your legal entities and their accounting context, which includes the ledgers* that contain
the accounting data for each legal entity. If a legal entity has multiple reporting requirements, you
can include additional reporting currencies or ledgers in the accounting context to satisfy the
additional requirements.
8. Enhanced Reporting Currency Functionality (Changed functionality) : Multiple Reporting
Currencies functionality is enhanced to support all journal sources. Reporting sets of books are
now simply reporting currencies. Every journal that is posted in the primary currency of a ledger
can be automatically converted into one or more reporting currencies. This conversion can be
performed by Subledger Accounting, to convert all subledger journal entries, or by General
Ledger, to convert more summarized General Ledger journals. You can choose to convert any
journal sources and
categories.

9. Improved Processing Efficiency- Simultaneous Data Access to Multiple Legal

Entities and Ledgers: -New feature.
Can access multiple legal entities and ledgers when you log into Oracle General Ledger using a
single responsibility. This improves processing efficiency by reducing the need to switch between
responsibilities when trying to access data for different ledgers or legal entities.

10.Simultaneous Opening and Closing of Periods for Multiple Ledgers: (New feature) The
Open and Close Periods Programs have multiple enhancements. You are able to run any of the
Open and Close Periods Programs from the Concurrent Manager. This allows you to take
advantage of scheduling and request set capabilities for greater processing efficiency. Also, if you
manage multiple
ledgers, you can open or close periods for multiple ledgers simultaneously. You can even keep the
status of periods across multiple ledgers in synch with new programs that ensure a specific period
is Open or Closed for all of the ledgers you manage.
11. Cross-Ledger and Foreign Currency Allocations:(New feature) You are able to allocate
financial data from one or more ledgers to a different target ledger. This enables you to perform
cross-ledger allocations, which is useful for purposes such as allocating corporate or regional
expenses to local
subsidiaries when each entity has its own ledger. This is possible even if the target ledger is in a
different currency than the source ledger(s) because you can create allocations in foreign
currencies. Foreign currency allocations are also useful within a single ledger if you need to
allocate amounts to a currency that is different from the primary currency of a ledger.
12. Simultaneous Currency Translation of Multiple Ledgers (New functionality) If business
manages multiple ledgers; you can run the Translation program for multiple ledgers
simultaneously.
13. Financial Reporting Across Ledgers (New Functionality): Business is able to run Financial
Statement Generator (FSG) reports for multiple ledgers simultaneously. This is useful if you
manage multiple ledgers and want to run a balance sheet or income statement report for all
ledgers
at the same time.
14. Automatic Journal Copy:(New Feature) Business is able to automatically copy an existing

journal batch to create a new journal batch with the same journals and journal lines. This reduces
the amount of work you need to do to re-create a journal that has already been defined. During
the copying process, you have the option to change the period and effective date of the journal
batch.
15. Streamline Automatic Posting(New Feature): AutoPost Criteria can be shared across
ledgers that have the same chart of accounts and calendar. This dramatically reduces the number
of AutoPost Criteria sets you need to define. Furthermore, you can automatically post journals
across multiple ledgers imultaneously.
16. Streamline AutoReversal Criteria Setup:(New feature) AutoReversal Criteria can be

shared across ledgers. This dramatically reduces the number of AutoReversal Criteria sets you
need to define.
17. Streamline Consolidation Mappings : You are able to define Chart of Accounts Mappings
(formerly known as Consolidation Mappings) between two charts of accounts. Therefore, if you

have multiple Consolidation Definitions for parent and subsidiary ledgers that share the same
chart of accounts pair, and their mapping rules are the same, you only have to define a single
Chart of Accounts Mapping. This significantly reduces the number of mappings you need to
define if your Consolidation Definitions involve the same pair of charts of accounts and the
mapping rules are the same.

18. Replacement for Disabled Accounts: When an account is disabled, you can prevent
transactions that include the account from erroring during journal import by defining a
replacement account for the disabled account. Journal import replaces the disabled account with
the replacement account and continue the journal import process if the replacement account is
valid. This improves processing efficiency by preventing the journal import process from erroring
and enabling the successful creation of the journal with minimal user intervention
when an account has been disabled.
19. Data Security across Legal Entities and Ledgers: In R12 release, since you can access

multiple legal entities and ledgers when you log into Oracle General Ledger using a single
responsibility, Oracle General Ledger provides you with flexible ways to secure your data by
legal entity, ledger, or even balancing segment values or management segment values. You are
able to control whether a user can only view data, or whether they can also enter and modify data
for a legal entity, ledger, balancing segment value or management segment value.
20. Management Reporting Security: You can designate any segment (except the natural
account segment) of your chart of accounts to be your management segment and use Oracle
General Ledgers security model to secure the management segment for reporting and
entry of management adjustments.
21. Prevent Reversal of Journals with Frozen Sources: Journals with frozen journal sources
are prevented from being reversed to streamline the reconciliation of data from Subledger
Accounting sources.
22. Prevent Reversal of Unposted Journals: Users are no longer allowed to reverse Unposted
journals.
23. Entered Currency Reporting and Analysis: Oracle General Ledger tracks the balances that
are entered in your ledgers primary currency. This enables customers to perform currency
analysis on amounts that are entered in the ledgers primary currency for the purposes of currency
valuation and hedging.
24. Foreign Currency Recurring Journals: You can use Recurring Journals to create foreign
currency journals. This enables user to pre-define journals that are recurring in nature and that are
in foreign currencies and simply generate them when business need them.
25. Intercompany Balancing Support for Encumbrances: Intercompany encumbrance journals
are automatically balanced during journal posting.

26. Integration with Subledger Accounting: Oracle Subledger Accounting provides tools that
allow users to meet multigaap, corporate, and fiscal accounting requirements. With a flexible tool
called Accounting Methods Builder, users can determine the accounts, lines,descriptions,
summarization, and dates of their journal entries. Users can also add detailed transaction
information to journal headers and lines. Detailed subledger accounting journals are available for
analytics,auditing, and reporting. They are summarized, transferred, imported and
posted to Oracle General Ledger.

Oracle General Ledgers integration with Subledger Accounting provides a unified process to
post data to general ledger from Oracle subledgers and external feeder systems. Also, it provides
a consistent view when drilling down from general ledger balances to subledger transactions.
Please refer to the Oracle Subledger Accounting section of this document for more information.
27. Enhanced Intercompany: The Global Intercompany System (GIS) feature from previous

releases has been incorporated into the Oracle Advanced Intercompany System product.
Please refer to the Oracle Advanced Global Intercompany System section of
this document for more information.
28. GL Standard Reports Integration With XML Publisher: Oracle General Ledgers Account

Analysis, General Journals and Trial Balance standard reports are now integrated with XML
Publisher. Using XML Publisher allows you to leverage the formatting features of a word
processing application to design the layout of your report.
In R12 a new product called Oracle

Subledger Accounting is introduced.

Completely new product

Oracle Subledger Accounting is a new product in this release. Oracle Subledger Accounting
enables corporations to comply with corporate,local and managerial accounting and audit
requirements via increased control,visibility and efficiency.

Oracle Projects (Project Costing)

1. Integration with Oracle Subledger Accounting (chaned functionality): Oracle Subledger

Accounting provides tools that allow users to meet External Reporting (IAS.IFRs, US GAAP,
etc.), corporate management, and national fiscal accounting requirements. With a flexible tool
called Accounting Methods Builder, users can determine the accounts, lines, descriptions,
summarization, and dates of their journal entries.
Detailed subledger accounting journals are available for analytics, auditing, and reporting. They
are summarized, transferred, imported and posted to Oracle General Ledger.
Oracle Project Costing has been enhanced to fully support Oracle Subledger Accounting.To
provide customers with a reasonable timeframe to migrate their accounting rules,Oracle Project
Costing honors both the accounting rules defined in AutoAccounting and the accounting rules
defined in Oracle Subledger Accounting.
2. Multi-Org Access Control (Changed functionality): 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.
Oracle Project Costing supports multi-org access for expenditure entry, expenditure inquiry, and
transaction processing.
3. Legal Entity (Changed functionality) : Oracle Legal Entity Configurator strengthens ones

corporate legal structure in a centralized solution. With an accurate representation of ones

internal Legal Entities,users are able to obtain a clear view of the organization and identify
transactions for legal compliance and reporting.
4. Standardized Data Model for Multiple Reporting Currencies (MRC) (Changed
functionality)
Multiple reporting currencies provide customers with the capability to account and report
in multiple currencies in addition to the primary ledger currency. With this release, MRC
amounts are calculated by Oracle Subledger Accounting and stored in alternate ledgers.The MRC
information in Oracle Projects is no longer used.
User can view the MRC amounts in the accounting drilldown windows in Oracle Subledger
Accounting. The MRC amounts are no longer available in standard Oracle Project inquiry
windows.
5. Budgetary Controls (Changed functionality/enhencement) : The budgetary control features

supported in Oracle Financials and Oracle Project Costing have been enhanced to support Oracle
Subledger Accounting. When General Ledger accounts are required to perform funds checks or to
generate encumbrance accounting entries, the Subledger Accounting engine is used to generate
the account numbers.
6. Oracle Purchasing and Oracle Payables Integration - Contingent Worker Support

(Changed functionality/enhencement):

A contingent worker, or contract labor, can fill any project role, including the project manager.
The procure-to-pay process provides buying organizations improved methods for procuring and
managing contingent workers.
(This enhancement was first introduced in Oracle Projects, Family Pack M.).
7. Labor Cost Processing for Contingent Workers: User can optionally process contingent
worker labor as supplier costs or labor costs. When processing cost as labor, contingent worker
timecards must be entered.
The following entry methods are supported:
Oracle Time and Labor
Transaction Import/Microsoft Excel Upload
Pre-approved Expenditure Batch Entry.
8. Introduction of Invoice Lines (New functionality): 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 invoices
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.
In conjunction with the support of the new invoice line entity, Oracle Costing is introducing the
following enhancements:
A new profile option will control the default value of the expenditure item date for invoices,
receipts, payments, and discounts. You can define the option to default the value from the
following transaction attributes:
The expenditure item date entered on the purchase order
The transaction date for the invoice or payment
The GL date for the invoice, payment, or discount
The system date when the invoice or payment is created
Additional attributes are available on the Expenditure Inquiry Find window. These
attributes support inquiry by:
Supplier
Invoice Number
Invoice Line Number
Invoice Distribution Number, Payment Number.
Inquiry by invoice line number will display all costs related to the purchased item

including taxes, freight, and miscellanous charges.

7. Improved Project Costing with Cash Basis Accounting(Changed functionality): With this

release, if cash basis accounting is enabled in the primary accounting ledger then payments
instead of invoices are interfaced from Oracle Payables to Oracle Project Costing. 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.
8. Subcontractor Payment Management: (Changed functionality)
Oracle Purchasing and Oracle Payables have enhanced current functionality to improve support
for the procurement of complex work.
New functionality: New features are available to address business requirements such as
retention, advances, and finance payments.The commitment and cost reporting processes in
Oracle Project Costing have been enhanced to support these new features.
9. Removal of Supplier Cost Adjustment Restrictions: (Changed
functionality/enhencement):
With this release, you can now adjust supplier cost in Oracle Project Costing under any
the following conditions:
The Automatic Offset feature is enabled in Oracle Payables. When the Automatic
Offset feature is enabled, adjustments that result in a change to the balancing
attributes of the charge account will be denied.
Cash Basis Accounting is enabled in Oracle Payables for the primary or secondary
ledger and the invoice is fully or partially paid.
The invoice is fully or partially paid and the option to allow adjustments to paid
invoices is disabled in Oracle Payables.
A payment discount was taken and distributed to the invoice expense distributions.
The invoice is matched to a finally closed purchase order.
The invoice is prepaid, either fully or partially.
The invoice is selected for Payment in Oracle Payables.
Disable all adjustment processing in Oracle Projects
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. By generating this entry directly, Oracle Projects can
streamline the adjustment process and remove the unnecessary dependency on invoice
processing in Oracle Payables.

10. New Mass Adjust Concurrent Process: (New Feature):

To improve usability, a concurrent process is now available to perform adjustments to a
large number of transactions at one time. The Mass Adjustment window prompts you to
choose to either complete the adjustments online or to submit the new Mass Adjust Expenditure
Items concurrent process. If you choose the process, the window is released so that you can
continue work, and produces a report that lists any transactions.
