Architecture Outline - Self Billing and Reclassification in AIM Telenor

This document outlines a proposed solution to add self billing and reclassification functionality to an existing AIM implementation. The solution will be built using Oracle Accounts Payable and AIM. Self billing will allow uploading invoices via Excel to pay commissions to partners. Reclassification will allow correcting accounting errors by linking to original invoices, avoiding duplicate or missed reclassifications currently seen when done outside the subledger. The roles, requirements, terminology, and high-level design are described.

2. INTRODUCTION

2.1 Background
There are two requirements discussed with Telenor Norway during AIM implementation
project. These functionalities were not present in JANUS (replaced by AIM) hence these were
not made available with AIM implementation.
 Self Billing functionality:
Self billing is needed for paying out commission to partners where exact amount is
known to Telenor. This functionality will allow Telenor to upload AP invoices in excel
and payment made to supplier. In future this functionality can replace/extend FPS /
multisys integration
Note: This document does not cater to Integration Requirements
Supplier will be able to view/download these invoices via iSupplier portal
Attached document will give detailed requirements

High Level Design -


Selfbilling in AIM.pdf

 Reclassification functionality
Reclassification of invoices are needed to correct any wrong accounting reported in
GL. Current reclassification is done in GL (without any link to subledger) OR a
manual 0 amount invoice in AP (without any link to original invoice)

3. PROPOSED SOLUTION
Both the functionalities will be build around Oracle AP and AIM.
Business Justification for requirements:
Self-Billing: Currently it is not possible to self-upload commission invoices via Excel.
Alternative is doing manual payments outside of ERP. This is completely manual and prone to
human errors. Tracking such payment is also major pain.

Reclassification:
Current reclassification done in GL or AP has no link to existing invoice. This is not possible
to check if an invoice has already been reclassified. This results in missing reclassification /
double reclassification. Current task is done using AP Responsibility which is restricted P2P
team in Pakistan.
After this functionality BU’s can perform self-reclassification without depending on raising
Service now request with Pakistan.
