Creating Templates
Data Retrieval
BPA provides an architectural foundation for the
retrieval of data from multiple data sources:
Register data views for Oracle E-Business Suite
applications and third-party data sources
Select data items from registered views for billing
template design
Use Oracle Receivables transaction flexfields
Use predefined data sources for Oracle
Receivables, Oracle Service Contracts, Oracle
Projects, and Oracle Order Management
Template Management
The Template Management User Interface lets billing
personnel create multiple billing templates based on
customer needs:
Layout design and content item selection
Option to print summary lines with or without child
lines
Flexible tax formatting, including itemization and

Modifying Templates
BPA provides nine default templates:
Default Chargeback
Default Credit Memo
Default Debit Memo
Default Deposit
Default Guarantee
Default Invoice

Assigning Templates

For a rule, you can set up matching criteria for one or more
attributes. You can specify that all conditions of the rule
must be met in order to assign a template to transactions
or that the rule will assign a template if any condition is
matched.
Reordering Rules
BPA applies rules based on the rule order that you define
for each supplementary data source. The assignment
engine in BPA begins with the first rule and searches until
it finds a match. You can change the order of the rules at
any time.
