COMMON TECHNOLOGY AND USER EXPERIENCE

COMMON FINANCIALS FEATURES

AUTO DISMISS POPUP

Simple confirmation popups will now auto dismiss after a short delay of 2 seconds, streamlining business
process flows by removing the need to click the "OK" button to dismiss the popup. This will improve usability
and enhance performance for simple interactions in Oracle Financials Cloud.

Auto Dismiss Popup Example for Expense Reports

STEPS TO ENABLE

No steps are required to enable this feature.

PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENT IN GENERAL ACCOUNTING DASHBOARD AND


INTERCOMPANY WORK AREA
To ensure the dashboard and work area render faster, transaction counts are no longer displayed.

STEPS TO ENABLE

No steps are required to enable this feature.

SIMPLIFIED WORKFLOW RULES CONFIGURATION


The Generate Rule File button is now located on the Instructions sheet of all templates for each
workflow.

An additional sample template ‘Invoice Approval Sample template 3’ is now available for the Payables
Invoice Approval workflow on the Manage Workflow Rules in Spreadsheet page.

STEPS TO ENABLE

No steps are required to enable this feature.

TIPS AND CONSIDERATIONS


You can now use the Invoice Request Approval Rules sheet to create approvals rules for Payables
Invoice Requests. This sheet is available in all Payables Invoice Approval workflow templates.

The Generate Rule File button creates a rule file for all the rules in the template. For example, for
Payables Invoice Approval rule templates, a rule file is generated for rules in the Invoice Requests
Approval and Invoice Approval Rules sheet when you click Generate Rule File.

10
Every successful rule upload using the spreadsheet template overrides all the existing rules for the
workflow. In case you do not enter rules in any of the sheets within a template, then no rules will be
created for that stage and any existing BPM rules for that stage will be cleared out.

If you are creating invoices for Americas localizations, then you will have to pass the values for global
descriptive flexfields, as currently the values do not default for this region.
If you are updating an invoice, then you can only update certain attributes and the update applies only to
those attributes. Related fields do not automatically get populated. For example, when you update the invoice
date in the Create or Edit Invoice pages, related fields, such as the terms date or due date, may be
autopopulated based on the invoice date you enter. Using REST API, the invoice date is updated, but the
related fields are not autopopulated. Before updating a key attribute, consider the impact on the related
attributes.

BUDGETARY CONTROL

BUDGETARY CONTROL SPEND AUTHORIZATIONS


You can enable Budgetary Control for spend authorization to reserve funds for anticipated employee expenses.

CHECK AND VIEW FUNDS

The approver can check funds and view the impact of anticipated employee expenses on the budget, during
the approval process.

16
Approval of a Spend Authorization

REJECT INSUFFICIENT FUNDS

When the approver submits the authorization for approval, budgetary control validation is performed. If
budgetary control validation fails, the authorization is automatically rejected and returned to the employee for
further action.

Reject Authorization When Budgetary Control Failure

17
RESERVE FUNDS FOR ANTICIPATED EMPLOYEE EXPENSES

When the approver submits the authorization for approval and budgetary control validation passes, the spend
authorization amount is reserved. If the approver manually rejects the authorization, the amount is not reserved
and the authorization is returned to the employee for further action.

Reserved Spend Authorization

REIMBURSEMENT OF EMPLOYEE EXPENSES

After incurring the business expense, the employee creates an expense report and associates it with a spend
authorization. The payment of the expense report reclassifies the consumption from anticipated to actual
expense.

18
Budgetary Control Analysis Report

INQUIRY AND REPORTING OF BUDGET IMPACT FOR EMPLOYEE EXPENSES

All existing budgetary control and analysis reporting supports anticipated and paid employee expenses.

Budgetary Control Results by Transaction Report

STEPS TO ENABLE

OVERVIEW OF SETUP

1. Enable the Request Spend Authorization with Budgetary Control feature found under the Financials
offering.
2. Enable spend authorizations for budgetary control in Manage Budgetary Control.
3. Set up spend authorizations in Manage Cash Advance and Authorization policies. Refer to the Steps to
Enable section for the Spend Authorization with Budgetary Control feature in this What's New document.

MANAGE BUDGETARY CONTROL

1. Enable budgetary control for the expense management business function and the spend authorization
transaction type.

19
Edit Budgetary Control and Encumbrance Accounting for Expense Management Business Function

2. Enable budgetary control spend authorization payment request transaction subtype for the payables
invoicing business function.

NOTE: If you do not enable the spend authorization payment request transaction subtype, the spend
authorization will not be converted to an expense.

20
Edit Budgetary Control and Encumbrance Accounting for Payables Invoicing Spend Authorization Subtype

TIPS AND CONSIDERATIONS


If Budgetary Control is already enabled then:
Spend authorization is disabled by default. You must enable spend authorization and
payment request transaction types. Note: If you do not enable the spend authorization payment
request transaction subtype, the spend authorization will not be converted to an expense.
Rebuild budgetary control cube. The cube must be rebuilt to allow for this new transaction
type balance to be stored . Run the Create Budgetary Control Balances Cube
process. See support note Maintaining Budgetary Control Cubes (Doc ID 2136813.1) for more
information.
There is no accounting when spend authorizations are approved. Accounting is created for payment
requests related to the anticipated employee expense.
Project control budgets are not impacted and burdening is not calculated.

CARRY FORWARD PURCHASE ORDER BUDGETARY CONTROL BALANCES ENHANCEMENT


You can have greater flexibility and control over the purchase order and budget balances being carried forward
from year to year. There are two new parameters and one relabeled parameter for this program.

Carry Forward Purchase Order Budgetary Control Balances Process

1. PO Charge Account Filter

Use this new parameter to select which purchase orders you want to carry forward by charge
account. This also gives you the flexibility to manage the budget options differently for groupings of
purchase orders by specifying conditions on any of the accounting flexfield segments. Add chart of
accounting flexfield segment, condition and value to meet your specific carry forward business
requirements. If you don't add any filters, all purchase orders that meet the other parameter criteria will
be selected.

22
PO Charge Account Filter

2. Keep funds available unchanged in the carry forward from year

This is a new parameter. It is available when the Run Mode is Final. Finally closing a purchase order
will increase funds available, which allows other transactions to consume these funds. Select this
parameter to indicate that a budget adjustment be made to reduce funds available by same amount. This
will keep funds available unchanged in the carry forward from year.

3. Include budget for purchase orders in the carry forward to year

This parameter has been renamed but there is no change in functionality. This parameter was previously
labeled Include Budget for Purchase Orders Carried Forward. If you select this parameter, the
budget will be created for the purchase order obligation amount in the budget period of the specified
Reopen Budget Date parameter.

STEPS TO ENABLE

There is no setup required for these new parameters.

TIPS AND CONSIDERATIONS


When the Keep funds available unchanged in the carry forward from year parameter is selected,
the budget will be reduced in the budget period associated with the Finally Close Through Budget
Date parameter.

If you use the PO Charge Account Filter, you may have to submit the Carry Forward Purchase Order
Budgetary Control Balances process multiple times to achieve the desired results.

For example, you have fund values defined as A through Z. Your requirements are:

fund values A through D and funds values L through S should carry forward the obligation as well
as the budget amounts

23
fund values E through K and fund values T through Z should carry forward only the obligation
all fund values should keep funds available unchanged in the carry forward from year.

To carry forward these results, the process must be submitted four times using the following PO Charge
Account Filter and parameter values:

Keep funds available Include budget for purchase


PO Charge Account Filter Fund
unchanged in the carry orders in the carry forward to
Values
forward from year year
Between A and D Yes Yes
Between L and S Yes Yes
Between E and K Yes No
Between T and Z Yes No

EXPENSES

SPEND AUTHORIZATION WITH BUDGETARY CONTROL


You can now reserve funds when you submit a spend authorization for anticipated expenses. When spend
authorization is enabled for your business unit, control budgets are associated with each expense type that you
want to reserve funds for. When you submit a spend authorization, the application automatically checks
whether sufficient funds are available and rejects the spend authorization if there are insufficient funds.

The application sends a spend authorization approval request to the approver when there are sufficient funds.
You and the approvers have full visibility into the funds status. Before approving, approvers can check funds to
review funds availability.

25
Approval Notification

If there are multiple approvers, the application checks for sufficient funds before sending the approval request to
each approver. Funds are reserved only on final approval and if sufficient funds are available. Rejected spend
authorizations are returned to you for further action.

26
Overall Funds Reservation Status and Funds Availability for Estimated Expenses

When a spend authorization is approved, it is available for use against actual expenses. You assign an
approved authorization to each expense in your expense report. The application alerts you when the expense
account is different from the authorization account. The application prevents you from submitting the expense
report if the report total exceeds the reserved funds. Approvers can review the authorization associated with the
actual expense when they approve expense reports.

27
Selection of Authorization in Expense Reports

When you enable spend authorization with budgetary control, the application creates a payments request and
liquidates the reservation when validating the payment request. You can review the funds details for the
payment request in the Manage Invoices page.

Funds Details in Manage Invoices

Budgetary control actions to check and reserve raw cost amounts are not supported for project-related spend
authorizations when the project is enabled for budgetary control and the project has a top resource control
budget. Similarly, burden amount for project-related spend authorizations are not reserved. Burden amount is
reserved only when the invoice is created for the expense report related to the spend authorization.

REVERSE JOURNAL BATCH


You can now provide batch level reversal information to reverse all reversible journals within a batch.

STEPS TO ENABLE

The feature is automatically available as part of General Ledger journal processing.

TIPS AND CONSIDERATIONS


You can use the batch reversal feature in the Edit Journal and Manage Journal pages.

You can now optionally provide batch level reversal information and have this applied automatically to all
unreversed journals within the batch.
If you do not provide this, only those journals in the batch that already have reversal information at the
journal level will be reversed.
The batch level reversal information provided will override what is specified at the journal level for
unreversed journals when the batch reversal is submitted.
In the Manage Journals page, you can select multiple journal batches for the Reverse Batch action to
process all unreversed journals of the selected batches that already have reversal information.
Display the Reversal Status, Reversal Period and Reversible Detail columns in the Manage Journals
page to get more insights about reversing the journal or journal batch.

For more information about reversing journals, refer to the Oracle Financials Cloud Using General Ledger
guide in the Oracle Help Center (http://docs.oracle.com).

ROLE INFORMATION

The General Accounting Manager and General Accountant can reverse journals and journal batches, and
perform other journal processing actions like entering and posting journals.

SINGLE REQUEST SUBMISSION FOR STREAMLINED JOURNAL BATCH REVERSAL


PROCESSING
For journal batch reversal processing, separate reversal requests were previously launched for each journal in
the batch that was submitted for reversal. This has now been streamlined with only a single reversal request
being launched for the whole batch. Individual reversal batches will continue to be generated for each journal
in the batch that is reversed.

that allow for quicker data entry. Now the Freight and Miscellaneous lines are created in the section
where the item lines are created.

Create Invoice Without Purchase Order

38
Create Invoice with Purchase Order

Freight and Miscellaneous Lines Along with Item Lines

2. New tax driver on invoice lines: Suppliers can now apply different taxes for every invoice line by
providing a Tax Classification Code. The tax driver can be provided for all invoice line types (Item, Freight
and Miscellaneous).

Tax Classification Code on Invoice Lines

3. Edit Rejected Invoices: Supplier users can now edit and resubmit invoices that are rejected from the
approval users during the invoice request approval process. The supplier users will see the invoice status
as rejected and when accessed the invoice will be opened in the Edit mode. After making necessary
changes, based on the rejection comments from approval users, the supplier can resubmit the modified
invoice. Users can recognize the invoices with Invoice Type as "Standard Invoice Request" and the
status as "Rejected".

39
Rejected Invoice

4. Approval actions for Payables user: When the approval for the Standard Invoice Request (Supplier
Portal Invoices) is in progress, the Payables users can now perform actions similar to what they can do
during the standard invoice approval process. The actions allowed on Standard Invoice Request are:
Withdraw, Resubmit and Force Approve.
Withdraw: Payables user can withdraw the invoice request workflow on unmatched supplier portal
invoices when the approval is still in process. On withdrawal of approval the approval status will be
stamped as "Withdrawn" and the supplier will see the invoice status as "Pending Import".
Resubmit: The Resubmit action is only allowed for invoice request that was withdrawn or rejected.
The Resubmit action is allowed only in the online mode.
Force Approve: Payables user will be able to Force Approve an invoice request workflow when the
approval is still in process, rejected or is withdrawn. On Force Approval, the status will be visible to
suppliers as "In Process". Force Approval is a secured action and the user would need the
security privilege "Force Approve Payables Invoice" to perform the action.
5. Cancel Standard Invoice Request: Payables users can now cancel supplier portal invoices when the
invoice request approval is in progress. On Cancellation of the Standard Invoice Request
The invoice status will be updated as "Canceled". The invoice amount will be marked as zero and
the taxes will be reversed.
The supplier user will see the status as "Canceled".
Invoice request approval process will be automatically withdrawn.

STEPS TO ENABLE

No setups are required to enable this feature. You only need to enable the feature Opt-in “Supplier Portal
Invoicing Enhancement”.

TIPS AND CONSIDERATIONS

Consider the following when working with invoices from the Supplier Portal:

1. When the Invoice Request Approval process is rejected by the users, only the supplier users will be able
to edit the invoice from the supplier portal and submit the invoice. Payables users will not be able to edit
them.
2. When Invoice Request Approval process is rejected by the system, only the Payables users will be able
to resubmit them. Supplier users will not be able to edit and resubmit them from the supplier portal.
3. Resubmission of system rejected invoices can be done only in the online mode. Resubmission is not
supported through the program "Initiate Invoice Approval Workflow".
4. Force Approval is a secured action and Payables user would need the security privilege "Force Approve
Payables Invoice" to perform the action.

CREATE DETAILED RECEIVABLES DISTRIBUTIONS


The Create Detailed Receivables Distributions feature provides the capability to split consolidated Receivables
and Cash distributions in proportion to the balancing segments used for accounting a transaction. Having
detailed distributions provides better visibility into operations at the segment level, where a segment may
represent a fund, a product, or a line of business.

At this time, this feature is intended only for the public sector industry.

NOTE: The predefined options and setup data for the Detailed Distributions feature are labeled as Multifund
Accounting. These are synonymous terms.

42
Example

STEPS TO ENABLE

You must opt in to enable this feature. For instructions, refer to the Optional Uptake of New Features section of
this document.

Offering: Financials

Enabling detailed distributions for Receivables is a three-step process.

1. Enable the Feature Opt-in.


2. Enable it for a business unit (and ledger) in Receivables System Options.
3. Create a Subledger Accounting Method (SLAM) and associate it with the ledger.

RECEIVABLES SYSTEM OPTIONS

1. Click the Navigator, and then Setup and Maintenance.


2. Search for the task ‘Manage Receivables System Options’.
3. From this page, search for the business unit that requires the detailed distributions feature.
4. From the ‘Edit System Options’ page, enable the option ‘Enable multifund accounting’.

On enabling this option for a business unit, the detailed distributions feature becomes automatically applicable
to all other business units that share the same Ledger.

This selection cannot be reverted once enabled. Because of this, a warning message is displayed before
confirming the selection. Choose ‘Yes’ to continue.

43
SUBLEDGER ACCOUNTING METHOD

Create a Subledger Accounting Method for supporting the creation of detailed distributions and associate it with
the Ledger:

1. Click the Navigator, and then Setup and Maintenance.


2. From the Task Pane (right side of the page) select the task ‘Manage Implementation Projects’.
3. Using the reference of an Implementation Project, search for the task ‘Manage Accounting Methods’ from
the Receivables configuration.
4. Search for the predefined Accounting Method ‘Standard Accrual’ and duplicate it.
5. In the section for Journal Entry Rule Set Assignments for Receivables, delete the existing rule sets for
Adjustment, Debit Memo, Credit Memo, Invoice, Miscellaneous Receipt and Receipt.
6. Re-create these records using the following predefined Rule Sets for Multifund Accounting:
Adjustment: 'Adjustments - Multifund Accounting Balancing Method'
Debit Memo: 'Debit Memos - Multifund Accounting Balancing Method'
Credit Memo: 'Credit Memos - Multifund Accounting Balancing Method'
Invoice: 'Invoices - Multifund Accounting Balancing Method'
Miscellaneous Receipt: 'Miscellaneous Receipts - Multifund Accounting Balancing Method'
Receipt: 'Receipts - Multifund Accounting Balancing Method'
7. Activate the Accounting Method from Menu Actions > Change Status

The predefined Journal Entry Rule Sets associated with the Accounting Method will have the default status as
‘Incomplete’. On activating the Accounting Method (as stated in step-7), the corresponding Journal Entry
Rule Sets will also receive the status ‘Active’.

44
Associate this custom Accounting Method to the Ledger:

1. Using the reference of an Implementation Project, search for the task ‘Specify Ledger Options’.
2. Access the task using the scope of the Ledger for which Multifund Accounting is enabled (through the
corresponding business unit).
3. For this ledger, select the custom Accounting Method created for Multifund Accounting, in the section for
Subledger Accounting.

TIPS AND CONSIDERATIONS


1. On enabling Multifund Accounting for a business unit within Receivables System Options, it becomes
automatically applicable to all the business units associated with the same ledger. If any business unit
associated with this ledger does not require multifund accounting, then it should be de-linked from that
ledger.

2. Multifund Accounting can be enabled only when there are no transactions for the business units
associated with the ledger. In addition, this choice cannot be reverted once selected. Therefore, the
decision to implement Multifund Accounting should be a part of your overall implementation
considerations, after analyzing all of your business requirements.
3. Multifund Accounting setup should be enabled before migrating the transactions from the legacy system
to Oracle Financials Cloud.

4.

45
4. All legacy transactions should be migrated as open balances (for each invoice line) using either an FBDI
template or REST service, and they should be posted to General Ledger. The option 'General Ledger
Journal Entry Summarization' on the Accounting Options Page should be set as 'Summarize by General
Ledger Date' to have all the migrated Invoices posted to a single Journal. This Journal can be manually
reversed so that it does not contradict with the open balances migration done through the General
Ledger process. It also avoids unwanted entries for Revenue/Freight/Taxes in the current period.

ROLE INFORMATION

There are no changes to the job roles or any other existing privileges for using the detailed distributions
feature. Also, the process to account and view the distributions within the Subledger and General Ledger
remains the same.

REVENUE MANAGEMENT

ENHANCED HANDLING OF INVALID CONTRACT LINES


You can now specify how invalid source document lines are handled during the accounting contract creation
process.

The Reject line option ignores the invalid source document lines and creates the contract with only the
valid source document lines.
The Reject contract option suspends the contract creation until all of the source document lines are valid.

Invalid source document lines are lines that have failed the Revenue Management data validation process.

Manage System Options for Revenue Management

MANAGE SYSTEM OPTIONS FOR REVENUE MANGAGEMENT – INVALID LINE HANDLING

There are two values for the Invalid Line Handling option:

Reject line
Reject contract

When the Invalid Line Handling option is set to Reject contract:

47
The contract creation process is suspended for source documents with invalid source document lines
until all of the invalid source document lines are corrected and error free.
The valid and invalid source document lines are displayed in the Correct Source Document Line Error
worksheet.
The valid source document’s lines are assigned a Related Line Error indicating that the line is valid but
not processed due to associated source document lines that contain data errors.
Once the invalid source document lines are corrected, a contract is created that includes all of the now
valid source document lines.

When the Invalid Line Handling option is set to Reject line or Blank:

The contract creation process is executed for all valid source document lines, regardless of whether there
are related contract lines in error status.
Only the invalid source document lines are displayed in the Correct Source Document Line Error
worksheet.
Once the related invalid source document lines are corrected, the corrected lines are added to a new
contract if the existing contract is frozen.

ContractDocCorrection.xls

CORRECT CONTRACT DOCUMENT ERRORS IN SPREADSHEET

When the Invalid Line Handling option is set to Reject contract:

The valid and invalid source document lines are displayed in the Document Line Error tab of the Correct
Contract Document Errors worksheet.
When the source document line cannot be assigned a Contract ID String, the line is displayed with a
Contract ID String error.
The valid source document lines are assigned a Related Line Error indicating that the line is valid but not
processed due to associated source document lines that contain data errors.
You can change the Data Transformation Status from Unprocessed to Purge or Reject so that the invalid
line can be excluded and processing can continue.
Use the worksheet to correct and reprocess the invalid source document lines.
When you upload your updates in the worksheet, the Validate Customer Contract Data process is
executed and the lines are reprocessed.

When the Invalid Line Handling option is set to Reject line or Blank:

48
Only the invalid source document lines are displayed in the Document Line Error tab of the Correct
Contract Document Errors worksheet.
You can change the Data Transformation Status from Unprocessed to Purge or Reject so that the invalid
line can be excluded and processing can continue.
Use the worksheet to correct and reprocess the invalid source document lines.

STEPS TO ENABLE

No steps are required to enable this feature.

TIPS AND CONSIDERATIONS

When using the Invalid Line Handling feature:

The Invalid Line Handling option can be modified. The default value is Blank.
Profile option changes takes effect from the time the changes are saved, and are applied to all
processing from that point forward.
Profile option changes are not retrospectively applied.
Contracts are identified and assigned unique Contract ID Strings by the Validate Customer Contract
Source Data process.
When lines are reprocessed, the latest active contract identification rules are applied when
determining the Contract ID String for the line.
If the source document line status is Unprocessed and the Contract ID String is not blank, the
Contract ID String is updated with the new value and the source document line status is set based
on the source document line status of the revised Contract ID String.
If the Contract ID String is blank for a line, the line is tagged as Unprocessed and assigned a
Contract ID String error.
You can correct invalid or missing Contract ID Strings using the spreadsheet.
You can change the Data Transformation Status from Unprocessed to Purge or Reject so that the
invalid line can be excluded and processing can continue.
After lines are reprocessed, invalid lines with a status of Purge are deleted from the table
and lines with a status of Reject are ignored.
After you save and upload the worksheet, corrections to the line and all other lines with the same
Contract ID string value are reevaluated and processed.
When Invalid Line Handling option is changed from Reject line to Reject contract:
New logic will be applied from that point forward.
Changes apply only to new lines and unprocessed lines, once they are corrected.
Lines are eligible for further contract creation processing only when all of the lines with the same
Contract ID String are in a status of Processed.
Source document lines in a status of Processed that have the same Contract ID String will be
processed.
When the Invalid Line Handling option is changed from Reject contract to Reject line:
Changes apply only to new and corrected lines.
After lines are reprocessed, any line with the same Contract ID String in a status of Processed is
converted to a contract, regardless of whether there are other lines with the same Contract ID
String in a status of Unprocessed.
Use caution when assigning invalid source document lines a status of Purge on the Correct Contract
Document Errors spreadsheet. When the lines are reprocessed, they are deleted from the table and are
unavailable for future processing unless they are reloaded as new lines.

SUBLEDGER ACCOUNTING

UPLOAD MAPPINGS OF SUBLEDGER ACCOUNTING MAPPING SET RULES USING FBDI


You can import high volume mappings using the subledger accounting file-based data import mappings
spreadsheet template.

To do this, you must use the Create Mapping Set page to create a mapping set rule definition with
corresponding input sources and output types before adding the mappings using the subledger accounting
mapping import template.

Add the mappings by completing and uploading the spreadsheet template with the following steps:

1. Download the Subledger Accounting Mapping (XlaImportMappings) spreadsheet template from File-
Based Data Import for Oracle Financials Cloud guide.
2. Enter the mapping information in the Mappings worksheet. There are examples provided. For examples,
using the account combination or segment value as the output for the mappings.

Subledger Accounting Mappings Import Spreadsheet Template

After you finish preparing the mapping data in the spreadsheet template, click the Validate button
to validate date format, line numbers, required fields, and default mapping. Correct any error
reported.
You can save the original XlaImportMappingsTemplate with any name.
Next, click the Generate CSV File button in the Instructions and CSV Generation worksheet tab.
The Process generates both a CSV file and ZIP file.
Review the generated XlaImportMappingsTemplate.csv that is appended as a worksheet in
the same spreadsheet. It must have the same number of mapping lines that exist in the
Mappings worksheet.
The next step is to load the generated .ZIP file to the interface and application database tables.
Navigate to the Scheduled Processes workarea.
Select the Load Interface File for Import process.
Select the Import Accounting Setup process.
Upload the XlaImportMappingsTemplate.zip data file and upload it.

STEPS TO ENABLE

No steps are required to enable this feature.

TIPS AND CONSIDERATIONS


1. Use this FBDI spreadsheet solution to upload high volume mappings that have more than 2,000 lines -
for mapping set rules. Use the existing mappings import feature or enter mappings using the user
interface for low volume mappings.

2. Review the log and output files of the Load File to Interface child process for information about the data
that caused the failure.
3. Review the log and output files of the Import Accounting Setup process for information about errors from
validations performed by the application. For example, duplication of mappings.

TAX REGISTRATION NUMBER VALIDATION FOR 5 NEW COUNTRIES (COLOMBIA, ECUADOR,


MEXICO, PERU, AND TAIWAN)
Oracle Tax provides the infrastructure to capture, maintain, and validate the information for enterprise,
suppliers, customers and other parties in the Manage Legal Reporting Unit Registrations and the Manage Tax
Registrations of Legal Reporting Unit Tax Profile, Third-Party Tax Profiles and Third-Party Site Tax Profiles.

The different types of validations for the tax registrations and taxpayer identifiers issued by the federal revenue
bureau, fiscal authorities and government agencies of the countries Columbia, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru and
Taiwan are as follows:

1. Colombia’s Party Tax Registration Number Validation:

Colombian entities (companies or persons in the public and private sector) have a tax identification
number, known as the Numero de Identificacion Tributaria “NIT”.

For first parties, NIT is defined as Legal Reporting Unit Registrations during Manage Legal Reporting Unit
Registrations task.

For customers, suppliers and other third parties, NIT is defined as Tax Registration Number / Taxpayer
Identifier Number at Manage Tax Registrations of Third-Party Tax Profiles and Third-Party Site Tax
Profiles. This information is validated for uniqueness, format, and check digit requirements.

This validation check does not apply to Foreign Entity third parties. Each foreign entity has its own
country-specific tax registration number standard, which can include alphanumeric characters.

Validation details are as follows:

a. Validation Type - ORA_CO_NIT

Description - Colombia NIT

No of Digits - <=20

Format - Only Numeric Characters are allowed

Check Digit - Yes (Last Digit)

Check Digit Validation - 11- Modulo 11 (Each number of the NIT multiplied starting from right to
left, with a sequence starting from 2, then 3, and so on until 7, if there are additional numbers, then
that start with 2 again). If the result is over 0 and less than 10, that is the verifying number we are
looking for. If the result is 11, then the VD is 0 or if it is 10, the verifying digit is 1

Example TRN No.:

Good: 412615336

Bad: AR1234567 (Invalid Format – Only Numbers allowed)

b. Validation Type - ORA_CO_NIT:FOREIGN

Description - Foreign Business Unit Entity for Colombia with Foreign Origin

No of Digits - <=20

52
Format - No Restriction on the characters

Check Digit - No

Check Digit Validation - No Check Digit Validation

Example TRN No.:

Good: AR1234567

2. Ecuador’s Party Tax Registration Number Validation:

The Registro Unico de Contribuyentes “RUC” is the unique code used to identify an entity for taxation
purposes. Validation of the “RUC” is critical to ensure the third party transaction will be valid when doing
the Transactional Amendment for the Ecuadorian Government (Monthly legal reports). This information is
validated for uniqueness, format, and check digit requirements.

Validation details are as follows:

a. Validation Type - ORA_EC_RUC:COMPANY

Description - Ecuador RUC validation for Companies

No of Digits - 13

Format - Only Numeric Characters are allowed

The 3rd digit from left to right is “6” or “9” depending on the type of entity and the three last
digits on the right are 001, 002, 003 de-pending upon the number of additional
establishments of the same third party.
The two first positions indicate the province where it was expedited, therefore could not be
over 22 or less than 1.
Last three digits could not be 000 private or 0000 for public persons or institutions, as they
should have one establishment at least.

Check Digit -

When the 3rd position is 9, then Check Digit is 10th Digit;


When the 3rd position is 6, then Check Digit is 9th Digit

Check Digit Validation -

When the 3rd position is 9 (the verifying digit is in position 10 in this case)
Existing coefficients: 4.3.2.7.6.5.4.3.2
When the 3rd position is 6 (the verifying digit is in position 9 in this case)
Existing coefficients: 3.2.7.6.5.4.3.2

NOTE: when the reminder is 0, then the verifying digit is 0 (zero)

Example TRN No.:

Good: 1790085783001

1760001040001

Bad: AR1234567 (Invalid Format – Only Numbers allowed)

Description - Ecuador RUC validation for Individual Persons

No of Digits - 13

Format - Only Numeric Characters are allowed

The last 3 digits of the RUC represents the number of locations: 001, 002, 003, etc. for this
person where the two first digits are the province where it was expedited: will be numbers
between 1 and 22 only. Therefore, the last 3 digits will never be 000 as there is at least one
existing location.

Check Digit - 10th Digit

Check Digit Validation -

The DNI is validated as per the “Module 10”, where the first 9 digits are the DNI itself while
the 10th digit is the verifying number.
The used coefficients for the validation are: 2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2 (if the remainder is 0, then the
verifier digit is 0)

accuracy. This Tax Registration Number in Mexico is known as “RFC” - “Registration of Federal
Contributors” (registered at federal level), and attached to the legal entity, used by Companies and
individuals acting as a business.

54
Validation is for the format structure of the Tax Registration Number (not the data within the structure).
For persons who provide services other than those of official professional activity (not Doctors,
Consultants, Lawyers etc.), the identifying number for tax purposes at federal level would be “CURP”.
CURP is the National identifier for all Mexican citizens - “Key Unique to Register Population”. This
information is validated for uniqueness, format, and check digit requirements.

This validation check does not apply to Foreign Entity third parties. Each foreign entity has its own
country-specific tax registration number standard, which can include alphanumeric characters.

Validation details are as follows:

a. Validation Type - ORA_MX_RFC:COMPANY

First 2 digit is “17”, it is either an old RUC from 1993-2000 OR the entity is a foreigner/others
The next 8 are considered the Documento Nacional de Identidad “DNI” (identity number)

Check Digit - 11th digit (Last digit)

Check Digit Validation -

The RUC is validated using the “Module 11” rule.


Each number of the RUC is multiplied starting from left to right with 5, 4, 3, 2, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2.
Then sum all the results
The result has to be divided by 11 (the name of the Module)
After the division is made, the remaining is subtracted by 11 (11-remaining of the division)
If the result is over 0 and less than 10, that is the verifying number we are looking for
If the result is 0 or 10, the verifying digit is 1

PAYABLES INVOICES HOLDS INFORMATION REORGANIZED IN THE ORACLE


TRANSACTIONAL BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE SUBJECT AREAS
Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence Payables Invoices - Transactions Real Time subject area has been
enhanced to include attributes that help you report on invoice holds. Prior to this enhancement, invoice hold
attributes were available in Payables Invoices - Holds Real Time subject area. You can now report invoice
amounts on hold without having to create a cross-subject area report.

Hold information is now available at both invoice header and invoice line level in the Payables Invoices -
Transactions Real Time subject area. Hold related attributes were added to two new subfolders in this subject
area as follows:

The Invoice Details folder has a new subfolder named 'Invoice Hold Information'. This sub-folder contains
the following attributes for invoice header holds: hold identifier, hold date, hold release date, hold name,
hold description, hold reason, held by, released by, hold details, hold release name, hold release
description, release reason, invoice hold workflow status, invoice hold receipt number, hold creation date,
hold created by, hold last updated date, hold last updated by;
The Invoice Lines folder has a new sub-folder named 'Invoice Line Details - Hold Information'. This sub-
folder contains the following attributes for invoice line level holds: line hold identifier, line hold date, line
hold release date, line hold name, line hold description, line hold reason, line held by, line released by,
line hold details, line hold release name, line hold release description, line release reason, line invoice
hold workflow status, line invoice hold receipt number, line hold creation date, line hold created by, line
hold last updated date, line hold last updated by;

61
Additional measures are added to the Invoice Amounts and Invoice Line Amounts folders, for hold
counts: line hold count, released line hold count, total number of holds, total number of active holds.

As part of this change, the Payables Invoices – Holds Real time subject area is no longer available to create
any new ad hoc reports. Any existing reports that use the Payables Invoices – Holds Real time subject area will
continue to work as is. However, if you want to make any changes to an existing report that uses the Payables
Invoices - Holds Real time subject area, then you must recreate the report afresh and use the newly added
attributes from the Payables Invoices – Transactions Real Time subject area.

STEPS TO ENABLE

No steps are required to enable this feature.

TIPS AND CONSIDERATIONS


The hold attributes that were available in the Invoice Hold Details folder of the Payables Invoices –
Holds Real time subject area are now available in the Invoice Hold Information and Invoice Lines – Hold
Information folders.
To identify the line number of the line on hold, use the ‘Line Number’ attribute from the Invoice Lines –
General Information. This attribute should be used in replacement of the ‘Line Held’ attribute that was
available in the ‘Invoice Hold Details folder in the Payables Invoices – Holds Real time subject area.
To identify only those invoice transaction headers or lines on hold, you need to add a filter to the report
on one of the hold attributes, for example: Hold Identifier is not null or Line Hold Identifier is not null.
To identify those invoices for which header holds are released, add a filter like Hold Release Date is not
null or Released Header Hold Count > 0. Similarly, to identify those invoice lines for which holds have
been released, add a filter like Line Hold Release Date is not null or Released Line Hold Count > 0.
