1. Overview
The purpose of this training document is to give the intended users step by step operating
instructions in doing the Account payables related activities in Oracle Applications 11i
ERP system.

The Accounts Payables module of the Oracle Applications 11i (Release 11.5.10) is
configured to meet the requirements of Food Corporation of India

Accounts Payables module involves the entering of the invoices of the supplier and
making their payments.

The system is configured as per the Accounts Payables Set Up document. All the required
data to configure the system are collected from the business process owners of Food
Corporation of India. To perform Accounts Payables related activities in the configured
system, it is essential for the business users to know the operating steps. In this context,
the user guide is prepared and distributed to the intended users.

Based on the functional processes in the Accounts Payables, the following processes are
to be performed in the system:

1. Create supplier and supplier additional information

2. Create Supplier and Customer


Set up suppliers in the Suppliers window to record information about individuals and
companies from whom you purchase goods and services. When you enter a supplier that
does business from multiple locations, you store supplier information only once, and you
enter supplier sites for each location. Most supplier information automatically defaults to
all supplier sites to facilitate supplier site entry. However, you can override these defaults
and have unique information for each site.

The system uses information you enter for suppliers and supplier sites to enter default
values when you later enter transactions for a supplier site. Most information you enter in
the Suppliers window is used only to enter defaults in the Suppliers Sites window. If you
update information at the supplier level, it will not update existing supplier sites.

To create TDS Authorities, In Classification Tab select ‘TDS Authorities-IND’ as


classification type. For creating VAT Authorities select ‘VAT Authorities-IND’ as
classification type. For other Tax Authority select ‘Tax Authority’ as classification type.

For suppliers created from payroll:

1. Supplier will be created automatically , whenver any active employee is created in


Payroll.

2. Any changes done in active employees in Payroll , will automatically get reflected in
Supplier also.

3. If any employee is inactive in payroll, and user activates it in payroll, corresponding


supplier will be created in APPS (if no corresponding supplier exists).

4. If any active employee is inactivated in payroll, the classification of corresponding


supplier in APPS, will change to FCI Retired Employee, and if it is again activated in
payroll, the classification in APPS will change to FCI Employee.

5. No manual creation of supplier with supplier number as staff code and classification as
FCI Employee or FCI Retired Employee is permitted in APPS.

4513: Cash with other disbursing Officers

The AP to AR process will create a transaction in AR with transaction date and GL date
same as the maximum of prepayment application date/ payment date of the related AP
invoice. Previously the process used to create transaction in AR with transaction date and
GL date same as the GL Date of the related AP invoice .

AP to AP: If invoices with certain accounts and negative amount in distribution are
entered in Accounts Payable, it automatically creates a payable for the same in Accounts
Payable. Such type of transactions originating in AP and resulting in an invoice in AP

13. Cancelling Invoices

You can cancel only unpaid invoices. You can cancel any unvalidated invoice, or a
validated invoice that does not have any effective payments or accounting holds. If an
invoice has a hold that prevents accounting, you must release the hold before you cancel
the invoice.
You can cancel an invoice that was paid with a payment that is now voided, if the invoice
status is now Unpaid. A cancelled invoice does not show up in your invoice liability
reports and you cannot pay or adjust a cancelled invoice. You can cancel single invoice
distributions by reversing them.
When Payables cancels an invoice, it sets the invoice amount to zero, sets all scheduled
payments to zero, and reverses all invoice distributions and any matches to purchase
order shipments and distributions. Payables also submits Invoice Validation for the
invoice and, if there are no accounting holds on the invoice, updates the status of the
invoice to Cancelled.
Steps to cancel an invoice
1. Find the invoice.
2. In the Invoices window, select the invoice you want to cancel and choose Actions. In
the Invoice Actions window, select Cancel Invoices and choose OK to have Payables
cancel the invoice.

15. EMD

Whenever an EMD is received from any party, a standard receipt is required to be created
in the name of the party who deposited the amount. When the contract is finalised then it
is known if the EMD amount is to be refunded or adjusted as security deposit in the same
office or the amount of the EMD is to be sent to any other office. Even the EMD amount
could also be sometimes adjusted against the sales amount in case of the tender sale.

Upon finalisation of the contract when the requisite action for refund/conversion to
Security Deposit or adjustment of sales is to be done a standard receivable invoice should
be created and the following distribution should be taken in respective case.

Tata Consultancy Services Confidential Page: 52


Document Id: FCI User Guide -AP Version 1.0

a. In case of EMD is to be refunded:


The distribution should be taken as the unit code by which the refund is to be done with
account code 1801.

The system will automatic create a payable invoice in AP module for payment to the
party which should be paid.

b. Conversion of EMD to SD
In case the EMD is to be converted to Security deposit:

The distribution should be taken as the unit code in which the security deposit is to be
kept with account code 1802.

The system will automatic create a payable invoice in AP module for liability of security
deposit against that party with the liability account of the unit where it is to be kept. The
same invoice could be used for refund of security deposit whenever required. However it
is advised to place a hold on such invoices so that these are not selected for payment
inadvertently

c.In case the EMD is to be adjusted against the sales invoice


The distribution should be taken as the unit code where the EMD is to be adjusted
against sales with account code 4731. This process is also explained in the Accounts
Receivable User Guide.
The system would automatically create a credit memo in the Accounts receivable module
which should be applied to the sales invoice against which the EMD is to be adjusted.

D. In case when user has used account head 1802 in AR invoice (transaction for security
deposits) , he will have to execute the request FCI Create Auto invoice In AP from AR.
This will create an EMD invoice in AP , naming convention for which is :
Invoice_num in AR-Unit-Line_No.-EMD-Invoice_Date.User will have to search the
entry using the above naming convention.

If user wants to create SD for these entries, request FCI Create Auto Invoice From AP-AP
should be executed, that will create a SD in AP for the same.

Tata Consultancy Services Confidential Page: 53


Document Id: FCI User Guide -AP Version 1.0

16. Change of Liability account


Note: As security rule is assigned to all payable responsibilities(except interco)
,system will not allow the user to select liability account or distribution account
pertaining to any other unit.

The liability account may need to be changed in some cases. One such example is
transfer of employee from one unit to another. In such cases the originating unit needs to
send a credit note to the destination unit. The originating unit will create a credit memo of
negative amount and ensure proper accounting for the liability and distribution lines.
Then the originating unit will create a zero amount payment that will close the invoice
and the credit memo. The destination unit will create a new invoice for the same amount
and with correct natural account and unit code as the case may be. The invoice creation
process will be same as mention in point 12 above.

17. Treatment of Advances


The advances to the employees are handled in FAP from two modules i.e. (a) The
advances which are recoverable from the salary are paid through payroll module and
recovered from salary in instalments.
(b)The advance which are given for a specific purpose and the same are adjusted against
the bills submitted by the employee are paid through Accounts payable module.

When an employee is transferred from one unit to another unit the following actions are
to be taken.

(i) Where the advances are given through payroll module, an automatic IOG entry is
passed in the GL module debit the unit where the person has been transferred and credit
the unit from where the person has been transferred with the amount of outstanding
dues. The amount standing in the name of person can be seen through the report
available in the payroll module.
Search Criteria for automatically generated IOG: The category of this IOG will be
‘Transfer’, and source will be ‘Payroll’.

(ii) Where the advance has been given through Account payable module, at the outset
efforts should be made such advances are settled by the employee at the unit where the
advance was given by getting a bill against the advance and refund if any due.
However where in exceptional circumstance the advance is required to be transferred to
another unit, a standard invoice should be prepared with distribution unit code as other
unit and the account head in which the advance was given.

Tata Consultancy Services Confidential Page: 54


Document Id: FCI User Guide -AP Version 1.0

The system would automatically create a receivable invoice in the accounts Receivable
module for that employee.

Whenever a refund is received against such advance, a standard receipt should be created
and applied to this receivable invoice

18. Adjustment of advances (one party) and refund is


received
This process describes adjustment of advances paid to one party and subsequently the
expenditure is less than the advance and a refund is to be received from the party

Function Path: Invoice >> Entry >> Invoices

Steps:
1) At the time of disbursement of advance, create a prepayment invoice for the
amount of advance.
2) Now, when the supplier comes back with actual expenses bill, a standard invoice
is to be prepared for the Amount of Prepayment Invoice. In the distribution of
this standard invoice, book the actual amount of expenditure in the expenditure
head. The difference, that is the amount of refund to be taken from the supplier is
to be taken in the same account head of advance that was taken in the prepayment
invoice.
3) Apply the prepayment to the standard invoice. This will close the process in AP.
4) The concurrent program ‘FCI Create Auto Invoices in AP to AR’ is scheduled to
run at regular intervals. This can also be run manually from the view requests. The
Payables Open Interface program will pull it into payables.
5) This will create a receivable invoice in AR. Receive the refund in AR.
It is the duty of the person who is creating the payables invoice to apply the
Receivables Invoice (i.e the Invoice coming in AR from AP) with the receipt of
advances given by the Employee/Supplier.

Note: If the expenditure is more than the advance, and some amount of advance has been
refunded by the employee, then the Procedure would be same from the point 2 to 5 as
already explained above, except point 3. In Point 3, after applying the prepayment
invoice, make the balance payment to the employee.

Tata Consultancy Services Confidential Page: 55


Document Id: FCI User Guide -AP Version 1.0

19. Adjustment of advances (more than one party)


This process describes adjustment of advances paid to one party and bill received from
another party

Function Path: Invoice >> Entry >> Invoices

Steps:
1) Travel agent must be created as supplier in the Payables. Create a standard invoice
in the name of Travel Agent as mentioned in point 10 above. Enter the distribution
(expense accounts) correctly. Validate and get the invoice approved.
2) Make payment to this travel agent.
3) After that create a Credit Memo in the name of employee and save it as mentioned
in the point 13. The distribution account head in the credit memo should be same
as distribution account head of invoice made for third party.
4) When the employee submits bill, then create a standard invoice for the employee
with appropriate distribution and save it. Validate and get the invoice approved.
5) Search and open the credit memo created in step 3. Match this credit memo with
the invoice created in step 4. System would do the distribution (booking of
expense account) itself. Validate and initiate the approval process for the credit
memo.

button.

Tata Consultancy Services Confidential Page: 184


Document Id: FCI User Guide -AP Version 1.0

2. TDS Threshold limits are setup for a combination of Vendor Type, Section
Type and Section Code.

The above setup can be used as a default setup across vendor types. If you
wish to setup different threshold limits for certain vendors, you can do the same
by setting up “Exception Setup”. You can define as many “Exception Setups” as
desired.

You can define following threshold types:

1. Single
2. Cumulative

Single threshold applies to a certain transaction only. If this threshold is setup


with a monetary limit, TDS will be deducted every time the current invoice
amount exceeds the threshold amount. Those invoices, which are lower than the
threshold amount, will be ignored for TDS calculation.

Cumulative threshold applies to aggregate of all invoices for the financial year. If
this threshold is setup with a monetary limit, TDS will be deducted on all the
invoices after this monetary limit is reached. In case of the invoice, due to which
the threshold limit is reached, TDS will be calculated on all the earlier invoices
also (that were ignored TDS calculation).

In case both TDS thresholds are setup with a monetary limit, Single invoice
threshold will operate only if the Cumulative invoice threshold is not reached.
Once Cumulative invoice threshold is reached, Single invoice threshold will be
ignored.

You have a flexibility to specify effective dates for each TDS Thresholds. TDS
Thresholds will operate only between the effective dates. Once an end date has
been put a particular TDS Threshold, you can define a new TDS Threshold for
that particular threshold type. Using this flexibility you can take care of the
threshold modifications happening from time to time without modifying any setup
at the individual vendor level.

Example of single threshold set up.

3. To get the threshold set up relevant to you, Query on Vendor Type and Section
Code by pressing ‘F11’. In section code query using the unit code and section

Also enter the vendor type from the following - HINDU UNDIVIDED
FAMILY-IND, INDIVIDUAL-IND, OTHER PERSONS-IND, COMPANY-
IND, FIRM-IND.

4. Enter Threshold type as cumulative ( a cumulative type of threshold can be


created for giving effect to tax rules relating to surcharge as in Income tax act)
Enter different tax rate for various threshold limit .

Reference FCI Circular No. 17/2010 dated 18.06.2010

Point 2 Amendment of section 194 C

In this, the single limit has got changed from Rs. 20000 to Rs. 30000.

And Cumulative limit has got changed Rs. 50000 to Rs. 750000. So, an end date will
have to be put to the limits of Rs. 20000 and Rs. 50000 and the next date will have to
be put as the start date for the limits of Rs. 30000 and Rs. 75000 for single and
cumulative respectively. The system will not allow any back dates. So the current date
will have to be put as end date and the current date +1 will have to be put as the next
start date.

Point 3 Amendment of section 194 I

In this the cumulative limit of Rs. 120000 is substituted by Rs. 180000/ However,
since the practice in FCI is to deduct tax if the amount is expected to cross Rs.
180000, the threshold limit is to be set at Rs. 1. The user will have to see while
making payment that if the amount is likely to be crossed in a year then the tax code
will have to be applied.

The system will not allow any back dates. So the current date will have to be put as
end date and the current date +1 will have to be put as the next start date.

Point Amendment of section 194 I

In this, the cumulative limit has got changed from Rs. 20000 to Rs. 30000.

The system will not allow any back dates. So the current date will have to be put as
end date and the current date +1 will have to be put as the next start date.

GL account. If any unit has more than one cashier then for that unit as many petty cash
bank needs to be created as the number of cashiers. Each petty cash bank will be
differentiated from each other based on depot code. For example cashier1 of unit NC14
will have depot code of ‘NC14CASH1000’. Similarly for cashier2 of NC14 the depot
code will be ‘NC14CASH2000’. One cashier should always use the same petty cash
bank.

business. Receivables and Payables, share bank definitions. Each bank branch can have
multiple bank accounts, and each bank account defined can be associated with Payables
payment documents and/or Receivables payment methods. If you use Receivables, use
the Banks window to define your internal banks, which you use for receipts, and external
banks, which are your customers’ banks with which you do business.

If you use Payables, use the Banks window to define your internal bank accounts from
which you disburse payments. For each internal bank account, you can define payment
documents for checks, electronic payments (EFT and EDI), wire transfers, and other
payment methods.
You can also enter supplier bank information for your suppliers to which you send
electronic payments. If you use Payables only, you do not need to define clearing houses.
If you are using Oracle Cash Management, you need to define a Bank Errors Account, a
Bank Charges Account, and a Cash Clearing Account for each bank account you plan on
reconciling by using Cash Management. If you use Payables, you can override these
accounts for each payment document you define.

Defining Banks
Define banks to record internal banks, where you are the account holder of a receipt
