If the profile option AR: Use Invoice Accounting for Credit Memos is set
to Yes, Receivables credits the accounts of the original transaction. If
this profile option is set to No, Receivables uses AutoAccounting to
determine the Freight, Receivables, Revenue, and Tax accounts.
Receivables uses the account information for on-account credits that
you specified in your AutoAccounting structure to create your journal
entries.

Receivables lets you update accounting information for your credit


memo after it has posted to your general ledger. Receivables keeps
the original accounting information as an audit trail while it creates an
offsetting entry and the new entry.

Remittances

When you create a receipt that requires remittance to your bank,

example of a receipt requiring remittance would be a check before it
was cashed. Receivables creates the following journal entry when you
enter such a receipt:

You can then remit the receipt to your remittance bank using one of
the two remittance methods: Standard or Factoring. If you remit your
receipt using the standard method of remittance, Receivables creates
the following journal entry:

entry:

If you remit your receipt using the factoring remittance method,


Receivables creates the following journal entry:

CR Confirmation

When you clear the receipt, Receivables creates a short-term liability


for receipts that mature at a future date. The factoring process let you
receive cash before the maturity date, and assumes that you are liable
for the receipt amount until the customer pays the balance on the
maturity date. When you receive payment, Receivables creates the
following journal entry:

On the maturity date, Receivables reverses the short term liability and

CR Receivables (On-account Credit)

Receivables uses the Freight, Receivable, Revenue, and Tax accounts

entries.

Once the on-account credit is applied to an invoice, the following


journal entry is created:

DR Receivables (On-account Credit)

Accounting for AP

Invoice journal entries, debit the expense or other account entered


on an invoice distribution line, and credit the liability account
nominated on the invoice.

Example 1 - Reconciling a Functional Currency Payment


You enter an invoice for 100 USD, approve, pay, and post the invoice.
Below are the accounting entries created during each activity.
Activity Accounting Entries
Enter invoice for 100 USD DR Expense 100 USD
CR AP Liability 100 USD
Pay invoice, taking 5 USD DR AP Liability 100 USD
discount CR Discount 5 USD
CR Cash Clearing 95
USD
Reconcile payment with bank DR Cash Clearing 95
statement, including bank USD
charges of 2 USD DR Bank Charges 2
USD
CR Cash 97 USD

Example 2 - Reconciling a Foreign Currency Payment


You enter an invoice for 100 French francs (FF) and approve the
invoice with a Corporate exchange rate. The Corporate exchange rate
on the date you enter the invoice is 4:1. When you transfer the invoice
to General Ledger, Payables transfers accounting information in both
your foreign currency (100 FF) and your functional currency (25 USD)
and Journal Import creates a journal entry in your functional currency.

When you pay the invoice, the exchange rate has increased to 5:1,
representing a gain in your functional currency of 4 USD. You transfer
your payment information to General Ledger and Journal Import
creates a journal entry to record the invoice payment along with the
realized gain.
When you reconcile the payment, the exchange rate has increased
again, to 6:1, representing an additional gain in your functional
currency of 2.67 USD. You transfer your payment information to Oracle
General Ledger and Journal Import creates a journal entry to record the
reconciled payment along with the realized gain.

Note: This example assumes that you transfer data from Payables to
General Ledger after each activity.
Activity Accounting Entries
Enter invoice for 100 FF DR Expense 100 FF (25 USD)
(exchange rate 4 FF = 1 USD) CR AP Liability 100 FF (25 USD)
Pay invoice, taking 20 FF DR AP Liability 100 FF (25 USD)
discount CR Cash Clearing 80 FF (16 USD)
(exchange rate 5 FF = 1 USD) CR Discount 20 FF (5 USD)
CR Exchange Rate Gain 0 FF (4
USD)
Reconcile payment with bank DR Cash Clearing 80 FF (16 USD)
statement, including bank DR Bank Charges 6 FF (1 USD)
charges of 6 FF CR Cash 86 FF (14.33 USD)
(exchange rate 6 FF = 1 USD) CR Exchange Rate Gain 0 FF (2.67
USD)
