  20. Business Unit, Legal Entity(LE) and Ledger in Fusion Receivables Example Legend InFusionCorp. (Holding Co) Legal entity PrimaryBSV InFusion USA East Inc. InFusion USA West Inc. InFusion (UK) Ltd. InFusion USA Fin Services SA Ledger Co 04 Co 02 Co 01 Co 03 Co 05 Business unit InFusion UK InFusion USA Corporate InFusion USA Financial Services AQM UK AQM USA Corporate SSC Financial Svc Additional Information • Legal Entities can be mapped to Ledgers and/or to Primary Balancing Segments of the Ledger • Business Units manage transactions and are associated to a ledger • Operating units in the Oracle E-Business Suite are replaced with business functions enabled on a business unit Note Your LE, BU and Ledger structures are determined by your enterprise level requirements. Refer to Oracle Fusion Financials Financial Enterprise Structures for additional details

  21. Business Unit, Legal Entity(LE) and Ledger in Fusion ReceivablesSetup To Process Receivables, enable these two business functions Assign default Legal Entity Assign Primary Ledger

  22. Business Unit, LE and Ledger in Fusion Receivables Determination on Receivables Transactions Note • Set up the profile option “Default Business Unit” at user level to default the BU automatically • Set up the Legal Entity value in transaction source definition • If your BU typically services single LE, you setup default LE in BU • If your BU services multiple LEs and you have clearly segregate order fulfillment flows, then setup the LE at the transaction source • Business Unit Security was referred to as Multi Org Access Control in the Oracle E-Business Suite .

  23. Agenda • Implementation Overview • Order Fulfillment Business Process at a Glance • Business Process Mapping to Setup Activities • Minimal Configuration to Make Receivables Operational • Key implementation Concepts and Considerations • Security in Fusion Receivables • Business Unit, Ledger, and Legal Entity in Fusion Receivables • Reference Data Sharing Across Receivables Business Units • Accounting in Receivables • Customer Billing • Customer Payments • Revenue Management • Late Charges • Receivables to General Ledger Reconciliation • Deltas with EBS • Additional Resources

  24. Reference Data Sharing Across Receivables Business Units Set Enabled Setup Objects • Reference Data Set allows sharing of the same reference data across Business Units and will not have to be redundantly defined/maintained when they are applicable to multiple Business Units • “Common Set” is seeded in Fusion for all the set-enabled objects (except Customer), to meet the business needs of most organizations Example • If an Enterprise has 10 Business Units and 20 Transaction Types, in EBS you create 200 Transaction Types but in Fusion, you only create 20 Transaction Types shared by all 10 Business Units • Revenue Scheduling Rules • Aging Buckets (Collections) • Auto Cash Rules • AutoMatch Rule Sets • Collectors (Collections) • Customer Site (TCA) • Customer Account Relationships (TCA) • Payment Terms • Receipt Application Lockbox • Exception Rules • Remit to Address • Revenue Contingencies • Sales Persons (TCA) • Standard Memo Lines • Transaction Sources • Transaction Types Set EnabledEntities Note: Refer to Oracle Fusion Financials Enterprise Structures Implementation and Configuration Considerations for additional details

  25. Reference Data Sharing Across Receivables Business Units Things to Consider • Reference Data Set is a mandatory attribute for set enabled objects • The List of Values for the Reference Data Set are determined by the user’s BU access • “Common Set” is available to use by all users* • Since the “Common Set” is pre-defined, a new Reference Data Set is needed only to limit the access to certain setup objects to one or more BUs • Note::Pre-defined “Common Set” is not available for assignment in the Customer setups. • Consider defining a Global Reference Data Set to provide access to customer site to all BUs • AGM, Inc has two Business Units (US and EMEA) and some of the payment terms are unique to EMEA customers. AGM ,Inc will create “EMEA” Reference Data Set to support this business need • CIT Group has several lines of businesses supporting various customers. Transaction Sources and Transaction Types for each line of business have unique set of attributes and cannot be shared. CIT Group will need to create one Reference Data Set per each line of business Example

  26. Agenda • Implementation Overview • Order Fulfillment Business Process at a Glance • Business Process Mapping to Setup Activities • Minimal Configuration to Make Receivables Operational • Key implementation Concepts and Considerations • Security in Fusion Receivables • Business Unit, Ledger, and Legal Entity in Fusion Receivables • Reference Data Sharing across Receivables Business Units • Accounting in Receivables • Customer Billing • Customer Payments • Revenue Management • Late Charges • Receivables to General Ledger Reconciliation • Deltas with EBS • Additional Resources

  27. Accounting in Receivables Journal Import and Post CreateAccounting Fusion Subledger Accounting AR Distributions Fusion General Ledger Accounting Entries GL • Receivables generates distributions based on AutoAccounting Rules, Receipt Classes, Receipt Methods and Receivables Activities and passes to SLA • SLA generates accounting entries, including multiple accounting representations, based on SLA Rules AR Transactions Tr Tr • Distributions generated by AutoAccounting is interim accounting and used as a source to generate final accounting by SLA • AutoAccounting can derive transaction distributions from the following pre-defined sources • Bill To Site • Salesperson • Standard Lines • Taxes • Transaction Type • Constant

  28. Accounting in Receivables AutoAccounting Sources

  29. Accounting in Receivables Example AutoAccounting Setup for Receivable Account: CO: Bill To Site CC: Salesperson ACCT: Transaction Type Invoice: 7/1/2010 Acme, Inc 3 Hrs Consulting $3,000 Salesperson: Bill Brown Transaction Type: US-W AR Transaction Distributions

  30. Accounting in ReceivablesBest Practices • Use pre-defined SLA rules to create accounting based on the distributions generated in Receivables to avoid future maintenance complexity • Modify the seeded SLA rules or create new rules only if distributions as a source do not meet your accounting needs • Receivables seeded approximately 800 sources to support flexible SLA rules • Schedule Create Receivables Accounting batch process to generate accounting at regular intervals • Use on-line accounting, if needed, to generate accounting in exceptional cases • In addition to the scheduled runs, run Create Receivables Accounting batch process during period close to capture any last minute transactions Note: Refer to Oracle Subledger Accounting Implementation and Configuration Considerations Training for detailed information.

  32. Customer BillingCreation Methods for Billing Documents

  33. Customer Billing AutoInvoice - Overview Upstream Applications AutoInvoice Import Send Data Errors • Invoices • Credit Memos • Debit Memos • Interface Table • Exception Management- • Correct Errors • in Excel and upload

  34. Customer BillingAutoInvoice – Transaction Source - Key Considerations (1 of 2)

  35. Customer BillingAutoInvoice - Transaction Source - Key Considerations (2 of 2) If your accounting practice is to reject transactions in closed accounting period, set the value as “Reject” which means that you will need to re-open the period to process these lines Consider to set the value as reject Invoice to avoid creating multiple invoices Verify the default values of Import Information and update if needed

  36. Customer BillingConfigurationRecommendations (1 of 5)

  37. Customer Billing ConfigurationRecommendations (2 of 5) - Fusion Customer Data Model Location Party Site • Define key information in your customer setup so that the information will be defaulted during manual transaction and also derived by AutoInvoice. Example • Payment Terms • Receipt Methods • Receipt Matching criteria • Reference Accounts (Used by Auto Accounting) Tip Points to Note PARTY Person or Organization Account Relationship Customer Profile Account Date Effective Account • Manage Customers provides single page overview about customers, accounts, and sites • In EBS Customer Site and Account Relationships are Operating Unit striped but in Fusion both are reference data set striped, which will enable sharing of these entities across BUs • In Fusion, Profile Class association to a Customer Account or Site is Date Effective Points to Note Site 3 Site 2 Site 1 Site Purposes Bill-to, Ship-to Statement Site Purposes Bill-to, Ship Site Purposes Bill-to

  38. Customer Billing ConfigurationRecommendations (3 of 5) • When do I create multiple Customer Accounts? • Define multiple customer accounts for one party if you market, sell to, and service that company as one entity, but have different selling relationships with that party • Your customer purchases your products for their own personal use as well as for government project use. For their government purchases, GSA pricing exists, whereas when they purchase directly for their use, they have a globally established discounted price. In this case, you may want to create two accounts (one for GSA and one for direct) under the same party Example • When should I create multiple Customer Account Sites? • Define one active Bill-to Site per Customer Account where possible. However, if multiple bill-to addresses have same terms and conditions ,create multiple bill-to sites under same account • You sell widgets to ABC Co., which has locations across the world. ABC Co. has established countrywide purchasing agreements with you, whereby every location in each respective country receives the exact same discount and contractual agreements when making a purchase.Given the business model, the best practices will be to create one Party and one Customer Account for each domestic HQ of ABC Co. (e.g. ABC Co. US), create multiple Bill-to Sites for each account. Example

  39. Customer BillingConfigurationRecommendations (4 of 5) Business Cases

  40. Customer BillingConfigurationRecommendations – Present Bill (5 of 5) • Use Pre-defined templates for your bill presentment with minimum personalization • Update with your company logo • Verify the pre-defined attributes in the template and add more if needed. Examples of pre-defined attributes are • Bill To • Remit To • Invoice Number etc. • Set your template as a Default Template in BI Publisher • List of pre-defined templates • Default Invoice Template • Default Credit Memo Template • Default Debit Memo Template • Default Chargeback Template • Default Balance Forward Bill Detail Template • Default Balance Forward Bill Summary Template Invoice based on the pre-defined Default Invoice Template 40

  41. -% Customer Billing Centralized Tax Engine- Simplify Global Tax Compliance • Tax Setup • Quickly set up tax with pre-seeded content • Adapt to changing tax rules with date-effective tax content • Simulate tax changes with Tax Simulator Tax • Sales and Use Tax • Recoverable & Non-Recoverable Tax • Deferred Tax • Tax on Freight • Duty Tax • Tax on Intercompany Movements • Inclusive or Exclusive Tax • Offset Taxes • Tax Calculation • Automatically & accurately calculate tax • Allow certain individuals to override tax calculation • Tax Reporting • Standardized and simplified reporting using BI Publisher • Modify/extend reporting templates Note: Refer to Oracle Fusion Tax Implementation and Configuration Considerations Training for detailed information on tax related functionality and configuration in Receivables
