Question Accounting methods?
Answer: Accounting Methods are
1) Accrual Base Accounting
2) Cash Basis Accounting

Answer: Accounting method 2 accounts created ->

expence a\c dr to liability a\c....1
liability a\c dr to cash clearing a\c

Answer: Accounting Methods are two types in oracle 11i

1. Accrual
2. cash
In Accrual method we are recording the Transaction in two times -> one f
or invoice and one for Payment.
In cash method we are recording the transaction only for payment.

Answer: Accounting Methods

When you set up Payables you choose a primary accounting method.
In the Payables Options window you can also choose a secondary accountin
g method.
The accounting method determines the types of accounting entries Payable
s creates.
For each accounting method, cash or accrual, you choose a set of books i
n which you will account for transactions.
Attention: Carefully consider these settings at implementation time beca
use you cannot change them after
accounting events occur (for example, after any invoice has been validat
ed in your system).
Set up Payables to create accounting entries in compliance with one of t
he following accounting methods:
1. Cash Basis Accounting ==> You account only for payments, and do not r
ecord liability information for invoices.
The payment accounting entries typically debit your expense or asset acc
ount & credit your cash or cash clearing account.
When U create accounting entries, Payables might also create entries for
discount taken & foreign currency exchange gain or loss.
Payables uses the payment date as the accounting date for your expense a
nd cash journal entries.
2. Accrual Basis Accounting ==> You create accounting entries for invoic
es and payments.
The invoice accounting entries generally debit your expense or asset acc
ount & credit your liability account.
For prepayments, Payables creates accounting entries that debit your pre
payment account & credit your liability account.
For prepayment applications, Payables creates accounting entries that de
bit your liability account & credit your prepayment account.
Payment accounting entries typically debit the liability account and cre
dit the cash or cash clearing account.
Payables might also create accounting entries for discount taken and for
eign currency exchange gain or loss.
When you reconcile payments using Oracle Cash Management, Payables might
 also create accounting entries for
cash clearing, bank charges, bank errors, and foreign currency exchange
gain or loss between payment and
reconciliation time.
3. Combined Basis Accounting ==> U maintain 1 set of books for cash acco
unting & 1 set of books for accrual accounting.
You choose which will be your primary and your secondary set of books.
Invoice accounting entries are recorded for your accrual set of books &
payment accounting entries are recorded in both your cash set of books a
nd accrual set of books.
Combined basis accounting allows you to produce financial reports for ei
ther your cash or accrual set of books.
For example, you may want to manage your company on an accrual basis, bu
t require cash basis accounting information
for certain regulatory reporting on a periodic basis.
Accrual Basis Accounting Examples
In the following examples, US Dollars is the functional currency for your set of
books and you use accrual basis accounting.
You account for payments at issue time only.
Example 1
You enter and validate an invoice for $100 with payment terms that allow you to
take a 10% discount on the invoice
if paid within 10 days. When Payables creates accounting entries for the invoice
, it debits the expense account and
credits the liability account. You pay the invoice five days later, taking the 1
0% discount. When Payables creates
accounting entries, it records the liability and cash transactions along with th
e appropriate discount transaction.
Example 2
You enter and validate a $25 prepayment for a supplier site. You then enter and
validate a $100 invoice for the
same supplier site. When you account for the prepayment and invoice, Payables re
cords the expense and liability
transactions for the invoices. You then pay the prepayment and apply the prepaym
ent to the invoice,
reducing the amount due on the invoice. You pay the remaining amount of the invo
ice and create accounting
entries for the prepayment application and the invoice. The prepayment applicati
on accounting entry debits the
liability account for the amount of the prepayment and credits your prepayment a
ccount. The invoice payment
accounting entry debits your liability account for the reduced invoice amount an
d credits your cash account.
Cash Basis Accounting Examples
In the following examples, US dollars is the functional currency for your set of
books and you use cash basis accounting.
You account for payments at issue time only.
Example 1
You enter and validate an invoice for $100 with payment terms that allow you to
take a 10% discount on the invoice
if paid within 10 days. Payables creates no accounting entries for the invoice.
You pay the invoice five days later, taking the 10% discount. When Payables crea
tes accounting entries,
it records the expense and cash transactions along with the appropriate discount
 transaction.
Example 2
You enter and validate a $25 prepayment for a supplier site.
You then enter and validate a $100 invoice for the same supplier site.
Payables records no accounting entries for the prepayment and invoice.
You then pay the prepayment and apply the prepayment to the invoice, reducing th
e amount due on the invoice.
You pay the remaining amount of the invoice and create payment accounting entrie
s.
The prepayment application debits the expense account and credits the prepayment
account for the amount of the prepayment.
The payment accounting entry debits your expense account and credits your cash a
ccount for the reduced invoice amount.

Answer: Accounting method in AR perspective ==>

Accounting method would be ACCRUAL if you want your billing
system to record revenue from invoices, debit memos, and
chargebacks. When you use this method, Receivables debits
your cash account and credits your receivables account upon
payment of a debit item.
Accounting method would be CASH BASIS if you want to
recognize revenue at the time you receive payment for an
invoice, debit memo, or chargeback. Receivables debits cash
and credits revenue when using the Cash Basis method. 0 R K Jain
