Overview
Welcome to the
Trade Planning and Execution to Claim Settlement : EBS Business Process Advisor
Scope
This Note covers the Trade Planning and Execution to Claim Settlement Business flow, and encompasses the following eight phases:
Create Budget
Create Accrual Offer
Create and Book an Order
Ship Sales Order
Run Funds Accrual Engine
View Budget Utilization in Trade Management
Create Manual Claim
Create Credit Memo and Close Claim
The details in this Note are applicable to Release 12.1.3 of the EBS applications. Other versions offer similar functionality and approach, however this not does not detail the differences.
For an explanation of how to navigate around this Note please click on the 'How to use this document' link above, and open the collapsable sections (indicated with ).

Background
The Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) is released as a collection of separate modules. The supporting material, such as the Implementation and User Guides, focus on the set-up and use of these modules, and
tend not to detail the functionality or requirements of the other modules, nor the flow of information between modules. As most customers usually implement multiple modules there is a need to know how
the data is passed between them.
Aim
The aim of this Note is to provide material which supplements the EBS CRM Product documentation, to detail modeling of the Trade Planning and Execution to Claim Settlement business flow by
describing:
The full Business Flow from both a Process and Product perspective.
Details on specific Hot Spots where data and control passes between modules.
A complete end to end set-up to assist with basic operations and test case creation.
Links to additional supplementary information to assist with Troubleshooting and Diagnostics.
Troubleshooting
The purpose of this document is not to repeat the detailed troubleshooting tips that are available in existing notes, but it will assist with understanding how the business flow operates and how data and
control passes within it. Where relevant, additional troubleshooting and diagnostics notes are linked into each section.
For a full list of all Product Information Centers, which provide links to product specific Troubleshooting, Upgrade, Patching and other tips and tricks, please navigate to E-Business Suite Product
Information Center Index (Doc Id: 444.2).

Business Flows
Many processes are common to different organizations, and a number of these Business Flows have been identified which describe the typical processes undertaken by existing EBS users. Each flow
comprises:
The objective of the Business Flow is not to prescribe the activities that a user can undertake, but, by explaining the flow of data, to summarize the tasks which other successful customers have performed
when addressing a particular business need.
This Note covers the Trade Planning and Execution to Claim Settlement business flow, which is one flow of the many which have been identified by Oracle. It encompasses the following eight phases:
Create Budget
Create Accrual Offer
Create and Book an Order
Ship Sales Order
Run Funds Accrual Engine
View Budget Utilization in Trade Management
Create Manual Claim
Create Credit Memo and Close Claim
Please see the Related Flows tab for a list of the other flows which have been implemented, together with an indication of the scope, and modules which are employed.

The Business Process Advisor notes are the perfect way to further your understanding of how products and processes interact. Each of the tabs provide a different perspective on the business flow:
The Trade Planning and Execution to Claim Settlement Flow tab contains detailed descriptions on the interaction between products and processes, along with the flow of data and control
between each. The basic set-up guide gives the reader details of setting up a simple example to assist understanding and product knowledge.
The 'Hotspots' tab gives in-depth details for specific highlighted areas of product interaction and integration. Integration notes show, on both a functional and technical level, how the data is passed
from module to module, key set-up to be considered and areas of particular interest.
The 'Related Flows' tab allows the reader to build on the knowledge gained within this note, to link in to other related flows.
Troubleshooting
Topics relating to 'Troubleshooting' are covered in the following Key Tab: Hotspots
Whilst this document is not designed to offer a 'quick-fix' (e.g. "I have error 'ORA-11111' and want to know how to resolve it."), it does give the reader:
Details of Products and Processes engaged in the area where the error arises.
An understanding of the flow of data and control between these product and processes.
Details of specific Hotspots and integrations, along with tips on how to track data as it passes through the modules, and set-up to investigate.

The flow through Trade Planning and Execution to Claim Settlement is contained, mainly, within the Channel Revenue Management (ChRM) product itself, however there are a number integrations and
interfaces to other products, which will be detailed in this document. For example:
Items such as accruals, accrual adjustments, and discounts are tracked in Oracle General Ledger.
Promotional payments related to Oracle Trade Management can be made and adjusted through checks in Oracle Payables. Budgets and offers are updated with the payment information.
When customers make payments, the payment information is updated in Oracle Trade Management. When customers take deductions or pay in excess, Deductions and Overpayment claims are
automatically created in Oracle Receivables and passed on to Oracle Trade Management.
Orders are created in Order Management. Reference information about the order such as product number, units, quantity, value and discount, as well as the offer details are updated in Oracle Trade
Management. Budgets and offers are also updated with this information.
Promotion related accruals, off-invoice promotion expenses, budget adjustments and claims or deductions with promotional accruals or earnings, which are settled by credit memo or check, are
tracked in General Ledger.
The process flow outlined in the diagram above, and in the table below assumes a footprint including Channel Revenue Management, Order Management, Accounts Payable, Receivables and General
Ledger as a minimum.
For an explanation of what functionality is available from the different products, please review 'What is the Difference between Oracle Trade Management, Channel Revenue Management and Channel
Rebate and Point-of-sale Management?' (Doc ID 1477811.1)

Claim and Deduction Management Customers raise claims or take deductions for
many reasons, for example, claiming
compensation for damaged goods or for
promotional accruals for which they are
eligible. Distributors raise supplier ship and
debit claims to compensate for the loss incurred
on sales to end customers at a rate lower than
their acquisition cost or expected margin.
Distributors and retailers raise price protection
claims to compensate for the loss in on-hand
inventory value or loss incurred on inbound
price lists and outstanding purchase orders
when vendors decide to reduce the price of
their products

System Parameters enables the Administrator to setup the following information for claims:
Action Description
For example, the Administrator in an organization can set it up such that all
deductions and overpayments that do not have a reason are created with the claim
reason--"Unknown Claim Reason".
For example, the Administrator in an organization may set such claim types as
Unknown Claim Type or To be Determined.
The number of days due determines the due date of each claim. If this is not set up
for customers, the due date can be defaulted from System Parameters. When a
claim is created, the days that are due according to the customer's Trade Profile
Days Due will
first be assessed to determine the due date of the claim. But if that is not assigned,
the number of days due that is set up in the System Parameters will be used to
derive the due date of the claim.
An owner of a claim is the person responsible for driving a claim to resolution.
Claims may be assigned based on various criteria such as claim type, reason,
customer or geographical attributes. In cases when certain claims are created and
for various reasons the claims assignment territories fail to assign an owner, it is
Default Owner
still imperative that a default owner be assigned. This default owner may be an
Administrator or a Claims Analyst who will be responsible for resolving the
claims
or for finding the proper owners

Hotspots
Hotspots are areas within the Trade Planning and Execution to Claim Settlement business flow that have been identified as requiring special attention or explanation. These areas have been indentified
for a number of reasons:
Complex interaction between multiple products: Where a particular piece of functionality spans multiple products, it is not always immediately clear which products are directly, or indirectly,
involved, how they interact (i.e. what is the flow of control and data) and what setup must be considered when implementing the functionality. Particularly Integration Notes provide technical and
functional descriptions of the flow to assist in understanding and troubleshooting.
High issue re-discovery: Where multiple parties, both internal and external, via forums, communities and service requests are asking similar questions of particular areas of product setup. Whilst
the note is not intended to list bug fixes, patches etc. it does look to address common setup issues and also assist with troubleshooting particularly via the links to relevant sections of the Oracle
documentation.
Each of the pages relate to a specific hotspot and look to give details on how to understand, setup and troubleshoot that particular area. Each page contains the following:
Overview: What is the hotspot, what products are involved and, from a high-level, how do they interact.
Integration Notes: Integration notes describe in both technical and functional terms the flow of data and control through the products involved in the funcitonality. It also points toward specific
areas of setup that should be reviewed and pointers on troubleshooting.
Related Integration Notes: Where there are indirectly related areas of integration that should also be noted.
Diagnostics Docs: Lists any diagnostics notes (from either Diagnostic Test Catalog for 12.1.3 (Doc ID 1083807.1) or standalone diagnostics scripts) directly related to troubleshooting the hotspot
Troubleshooting: a dynamic list of published troubleshooting notes related to the hotspot
Related Product Information Centers: a link to specific Product Information Centers related to the products intergral to the hotspot. These notes provide further details on the product and related
troubleshooting. E-Business Suite Product Information Center Index (Doc Id: 444.2) for more details
Oracle Product Documentation: link to specific chapters in the 12.1.3 Product documentation directly related to the setup of the hotspot.

Types of Offer:
Accrual Offer: In an Accrual offer, delayed discounts are offered on purchases made over a specific period of time. These delayed discounts get accrued over a period of time and retailer scan later
obtain this money by submitting claims.
Lump Sum Offer: Manufacturers may have agreements with retailers to pay them if they carry out certain trade promotion activities on behalf of the manufacturer. Promotional payments arising
out of Lump sum offers are either accrued immediately, or over a period of time.
Off-invoice Offer: This is also known as On-invoice offer. In an Off-invoice offer, discount is offered on the invoice amount when customers purchase the specified quantity of a product. In this
case, the discount is not accrued but is directly applied on the invoice.
Order Value Offer: In an Order Value offer, discount is offered on the entire order value, regardless of the number or type of products that a customer purchases. The customer may purchase
different products; discount is offered on the total value (order amount) of these products.
Promotional Goods Offer: A Promotional Goods offer includes an additional product or service with the purchase of a specified product. For example: Buy purchase a Computer and get a free
Printer.
Scan Data Offer: Scan Data offers are commonly used in the Consumer Goods industry. They appear as manufacturer-sponsored coupons, consumer rebate programs, or discounts. Customers can
redeem these coupons and avail discounts on certain products. The data is processed by third party clearing houses and passed to the manufacturer who reimburses the retailer.
Volume Offer: Volume offers are created to encourage customers to purchase higher quantities of products. In a Volume offer, the qualified retailers accrue funds based on their cumulative
purchases spanning over a period of time.
Trade Deals: Trade Deals cover a wide variety of promotions and discounts. Off invoice as well as Accrual offers can exist within the same offer and this is the advantage of creating a Trade Deal.
When you create a Trade Deal you can either:
Apply only Accrual discount rules: customers accrue funds based on sales that they achieve.
Apply only Off-invoice discount rules: customers receive discounts on products that they purchase.
Apply Accrual discount rules as well as Off-invoice discount rules: customers accrue funds based on the sales that they achieve and receive discounts on
products that they purchase.
Terms Upgrade Offer: Oracle Trade Management supports the following types of terms upgrade:
Freight terms: Enables you to specify freight terms such as paying freight charges on behalf of the customer and claiming it back from the customer at a
later point of time; or waiving off freight charges for the customer.
Payment terms: Enables you to enter payment specifications such as extended payment period for the customer. For example, your organization may have
a policy requiring customers to pay within 30 days of buying a product. By specifying payment terms, you can extend this payment period to 60 days.
Shipping terms: Enables you to offer services such as free shipping or shipping at a discounted price
Note : This note will not detail every possible flow but will, instead, concentrate on known integration 'Hot Spots'; For more information on specific setup and processes refer to:
Offers are created in Channel Revenue Management: Trade Planning and provide a mechanism for incentivising sales. When an offer is created, a corresponding Advanced Pricing modifier is created and it

Claim - also known as a manual claim and is created directly in Trade Management to handle reimbursement requests due to damaged goods, payment for services, etc.
Debit Claim - created in Trade management to charge back customers who have been overpaid and are settled through debit memos.
Deduction - created in Oracle Receivables and are used to handle situations where customers short pay(under pay) invoices for various reasons including claiming compensation for shipping errors,
pricing errors and to claim promotional earnings. Deductions can be one of the following types:
Transaction-related: deductions can be traced back to a specific transaction such as an invoice, a debit memo or a charge back
Non transaction-related: deductions cannot be traced back to a specific transaction – created using Claim investigation
Overpayment - created in Oracle Receivables when customers have overpayed what they owe
Trade Management tightly integrates with Receivables via auto-invoice, Payables through the Open Interface Program and Order Management using Return Materials Authorization (RMA) to validate and
import records as completed transactions. When customers make payments, the payment information is updated in Trade Management. When customers take deductions or pay in excess, deductions and
overpayment claims are automatically created in Receivables and passed onto Trade Management.
Note : This note will not detail every possible flow but will, instead, concentrate on known integration 'Hot Spots'; For more information on specific setup and processes refer to:
Customers may submit a claim or deduct/overpay for many reasons such as OS and D- over, shorts and damages. Claims can be made based on offers associated with orders. If a customer makes any over
payments or short payments a resulting deduction or overpayment transaction is created by AR into Oracle Trade Management.
When a claim is created, all the information necessary to process the claim is recorded. This information includes the claim type, reason for the claim, customer information, contact information, broker and
sales representative details, the amount, and currency type. The claim is then investigated and follows an approval flow before being settled.
The claim settlement methods that are available in Oracle Trade Management are check, on-account credit memo, previous on-account credit memo, debit memo, Return Materials Authorization (RMA),
automatic write-off, invoice credit memo, and contra charge. The settlement type is related to the type of claim.

The Funds Accrual Engine (FAE) is a concurrent request that, in short, pulls the accrual and discount information from ship confirmed Sales Orders created via any channel then calculates the utilization
and earnings associated with the related budget. The engine implements the following features:
Ability to calculate budget utilization and earnings based on booked orders and ship confirmed orders.
In case of Fully Accrued type of budgets with accruing to Customer, the Budget, Committed and Earned columns are to be updated with the accrued amount. But in case of budgets that accrue to
Sales; only the Budget column is updated. Committed and Earned are not populated. This allows users to transfer money from a fully accrued budget to any other fixed budgets.
Ability to reconcile budget utilization and earnings when an order is cancelled. When an order is cancelled, running the concurrent process reconciles the already adjusted budget amount.
Ability to reconcile budget utilization and earnings when an order is returned When an order is returned, running the concurrent process reconciles the already adjusted budget amount.
What Products are involved in Funds Accrual Engine and how do they Interact?
When an offer is created in Channel Revenue Management, a modifier is created in Advanced Pricing (see Integration Troubleshooting: Trade Management Offers (Doc Id: 1601533.2)). When an order is
created the modifiers apply discounts and offers where relevant and when the order is shipped/invoiced in Order Management, details of these are retrieved by the Funds Accrual Engine via APIs to update
the committed, utilised and earned amounts associated with the relevant budget in Channel Revenue Management.
