Introduction
Purpose
The purpose of this Application Configuration document is to define the
Set-up/configuration of the Accounts Payables application.
Background
The Operations Analysis phase of an application implementation project operates to identify
business requirements. The business requirements are typically expressed in the form of process
flows and answers to Process Analysis questionnaires. Users requirements definition also is
used in defining business requirements. These business requirements are then mapped to:
 Business Requirements Mapping Form
 Application configuration document; (This document)
Scope and Application
This document relates to the setup of the Accounts Payable application. It does not include any
modifications to the application so as to meet requirements over and above the standard
functionality of the application. You will need to refer to mapping form / solution design
documents for application extensions, interfaces and data conversions.
Related Documents
This document should be read in conjunction with the following documents:
 Current Business Baseline document
 Process Analysis Questionnaires
 User Requirements Definition document
 Business Requirement Mapping Form
 Data conversions deliverables

Application Setup
You need to define at least one set of books before you can implement and use your Oracle
Payables application. A set of books includes an accounting calendar, a functional currency,
and an Accounting Flexfield structure (a chart of Accounts).
If you have previously defined your set of books while setting up a different Oracle Applications
product, proceed to the next step. If you have not defined your set of books, refer to the Setting
Up Oracle Applications Set of Books section to complete the following steps:
 Step FIN-1: Define Your Accounting Flexfield
 Step FIN-2: Define Your Calendar Period Types (Optional)
 Step FIN-3: Define Your Calendar Periods
 Step FIN-4: Define Your Currencies (Optional)
 Step FIN-5: Define Your Accounting Flexfield Combinations (Optional)
 Step FIN-6: Define Your Set of Books
 Step FIN-7: Assign Your Set of Books to a Responsibility
 Step FIN-8: Define Your Daily Conversion Rate Types (Optional)
 Step FIN-9: Define Your Rates (Optional)
Step FIN-1 Accounting Flexfield
Completed as part of General Ledger setup
Refer General Ledger Configuration document
Step FIN-2 System Calendar Types (Optional)

Step FIN-3 System Calendar Periods
Step FIN-4 Define Currencies (Optional)
Step FIN-5 Define Accounting Flexfield Combinations (Optional)
Step FIN-6 Define Set of Books
Step FIN-7 Assign Set of Books to a Responsibility

Step FIN-8 Define Daily Conversion Rate Types (Optional)
Step FIN-9 Define Rates (Optional)
Step AP-1 Choose a Primary Set of Books
As you will be using accrual accounting, you need to define one set of books in the General Ledger.
The accrual sets of book to be used by Oracle Accounts Payable are defined in the Define Financial
Options form (Step AP-16) and in the Define System Options and Defaults form (Step AP-17).

Step AP-2 Payment Terms
Define the payment terms, including discount, due days and discount percent, you use to schedule
payment to your vendors. You can define split payment terms for multiple payments, proxima (day of
month) terms, and multiple discount terms. Oracle Payables use payment terms to create invoice
payment schedules for you automatically when you enter an invoice. Once you define payment terms,
you can assign them to vendors and invoices. You cannot combine the percentage due and amounts
due for one payment term.

Likewise, all Payment Terms have to be defined.
Step AP-3 Defining Distribution Sets (Optional)
You can use a Distribution Set to automatically enter distributions for an invoice when you are not
matching it to a purchase order. For example, you can create for an advertising supplier a Distribution
Set that allocates advertising expense on an invoice to four advertising departments.
You can assign a default Distribution Set to a supplier site so Payables will use it for every invoice you
enter for that supplier site. If you do not assign a default Distribution Set to a supplier site, you can
always assign a Distribution Set to an invoice when you enter it.

Step AP-3 Matching Tolerances (Optional)
You can specify the acceptable range of discrepancies between an invoice matched to a purchase order
and the related purchase order, receipt information and tax information. Your Oracle Payables
application places a payment hold against any matched invoice that differs from the purchase order by
more than the tolerances you specify.
You can specify tolerances for price, tax, and quantity variances between what you ordered what you
were billed for, and what you received.

Step AP-4 Define Tax Names and Groups (Optional)
You can specify the tax names that you assign to an invoice or invoice distribution line. You can also
assign a tax name to a vendor site, so that the invoices you enter for the vendor site are assigned the tax
name by default.
The following must be completed before defining tax codes:
 Define accounting Flexfield (Step FIN-1)
Before using this form to create Withholding Tax type tax names, you should also define your tax
authorities as vendors. These vendors will be defined as part of Purchasing.
This step is not required for .
Navigation: Setup > Tax > Codes (Not Applicable for )
Step AP-5 Approval Codes
Standard Oracle Approval Codes to be used.
Use the Define Invoice Approvals form to define the approval codes that you use to manually place and
release holds on your invoices. You can define an unlimited number of hold and release reasons. You
can apply any hold you define to an invoice during invoice entry. You can then use the release reason
you define to remove the hold. You cannot pay an invoice that has a hold applied to it. If you assign a
posting hold code to an invoice you cannot post the invoice until you approve the hold.

Your Oracle Payables application also provides predefined hold and release reasons that you can use
to manually place or remove a hold on an invoice, but you cannot modify them. The Standard Oracle
Approval Codes will be used at .

Step AP-8 Payment Programs and Formats
You can use the payment programs that Oracle Payables application provides for creating invoice
payments or you can define your own programs. If you modify an existing payment program or create
a new one, you must define the payment program in the Define Automatic Payment Programs form to
use the program. The Oracle Payables application uses three types of payment programs to create
payments: Format Payments, Build Payments, and Remittance Advice.
The standard Oracle payment program will be used at .
Format Payments
A program Payables uses to format your payment documents. During the Format Payments program,
Payables uses your payment format to create the layout of your checks or electronic funds transfers.
Build Payments
A program Payables uses to build payments for the invoices in a payment batch. Payables submit this
program during payment batch selection to calculate the payment totals for your payments and
determine on which payment documents the payment appears.
Payables provide a predefined Build Payments program called the Standard Build Payments Program.
Payables uses this standard build program to group the selected invoices for each payment, order the
payments using the order option you specify in the payments batches Summary or detail window,
create any necessary overflow documents, and determine the total number and amount of payments for
a payment batch.
Remittance Advice
A program Payables uses to format a separate remittance advice document. For example, you can use a
remittance program to create separate remittance advice documents for your electronic funds transfers.
Navigation: Setup > Payment > Programs
Field Name Type Registered Name
Value

Payment Formats
You can use the payment formats your Oracle Payables application provides or you can use the Define
Payment Formats form to define your own payment formats. You should define additional payment
formats only if you want to modify an existing payment format, if you make payments in foreign
currencies, or if you want to use multiple currency bank accounts. You must select both a format and
build payment program for each new payment format you define.
Use the Payment Formats window to define the payment formats you need to define payment
documents in the Banks window. You can define as many payment formats as you require for each
payment method; however, each payment format must be unique for that payment method.
You choose a Build Payments program, and a Format Payments program for each payment format.
You can choose any payment program that you have defined in the Payment Programs window or any
standard program Payables provides. You do not have to define a Separate Remittance Advice
program for a payment format, because you can include the separate remittance advice program in
your Format Payments program. Each Format Payments program provided by Payables includes a
remittance advice program. You can, however, control how many invoices to include on your
remittance advice.
You can define a separate payment format for each of your payment currencies. If you assign a
currency to a payment format, you can use that format only with a bank account whose bank account
currency is the same as the format currency. If you use a payment format to pay multiple currency
invoices and do not assign a currency to the payment format, you can only use that format with a bank
account for which you also allow payment of multiple currency invoices. When you define a bank
account, you can only allow payment of multiple currency invoices if the bank account currency is
your functional currency.
You cannot define a payment format for a manual future payment method or a future payment method
unless you enable the Allow Future Payment Method Payables option.
You can also specify the number of invoices allowed per payment, the invoice grouping, the position of
the check stub (for payment formats using payment programs that produce a stub), and whether the
payment format can be used for multiple currencies and zero-amount payments only.

Step AP-9 Payment Interest Rates (Not Implemented)
In the Payment Interest Rates screen you define interest rates Payables uses to calculate and pay interest on
overdue invoices. Payables calculate interest only on overdue invoices if you enable the Automatic Interest
Calculation Payables option.
For each rate you define, specify during which dates the rate is effective. Effective dates of rates cannot
overlap. You can add or change a rate at any time. Payables use the interest rate that is valid on your payment
date to calculate and pay interest on overdue invoices.
Note: Enable the Automatic Interest Calculation Payables option.
Navigation: Setup>Payment>Interest Rates (Not Applicable)

To define payment interest rates:
In the Payment Interest Rates screen, enter an interest rate, and enter a start date and end date between which
the interest rate is effective.
This step is not required for .
Step AP-10 Expense Report Types (Not Implemented)
This allows you to predefine a type of expense report you regularly use. You can define default values for
expense line items and you can then choose those items from a list of values when you enter expense reports.
During Invoice Import, Payables uses the expense item information to create invoice distributions.
For example, you may use one expense report format for travel expenses and another expense report format for
other business expenses. These templates nominate Accounting Flexfield segments, which can be part or fully
complete.

Step AP-12 Locations

You need to define and maintain the locations you use for your employees and your organization. You select
from the locations you define when you assign a location to an employee.
You can select the locations you enter in this form when you create reporting entities or when you enter an
assignment for an employee.
This step has been completed as part of Multi Org Setup. Refer Multi Org Configuration document.
Step AP-13 Employees
You must enter employees before you can enter an expense report in XpenseXpress for the employee. If you
do not plan to use XpenseXpress to enter expense reports, you can skip this step.
If you do not install Oracle Personnel with your Oracle Payables application, use the Enter Employee form to
define and maintain employees in your Oracle Payables application. You can enable the Automatically
Create Employee as supplier payables option to do this automatically during invoice import, or you can
manually enter the employee as a supplier in the supplier window. You can easily change the location
information of an employee as often as you want. If you install Oracle Personnel, use the employee forms in
Oracle Personnel instead to enter and maintain employees. will maintain employees for this purpose as and
when required from the Payables Module.
Note: The following must be completed before defining employees who will be submitting expense reports:
 Define locations (Step AP-12)
 Define personnel QuickCodes (Step AP-11)
 Choose your employee number generation method
 Define Flexfield combinations (Step FIN-5)
 Employees require Jobs and Positions to be defined prior to entering employee details. Refer Purchasing
Setup Application Configuration Document for additional details.
Step AP-14 Reporting Entities (Not Applicable)
Navigation: Setup > Tax > Reporting Entities
This feature is not required for . Used for tax reporting only.
Step AP-15 Income Tax Regions (Not Applicable)

Navigation: Setup > Tax > Regions
This feature is not required for . Used for tax reporting only.
Step AP-16 Financials Options
During set up, you must select a set of books for your Oracle Payables application (Step Ap-1). After, you can
enable the options and controls you want to use throughout your Oracle Payables application and other
Oracle applications through the Define Financials Options and Define Payables Option forms. You can also
define defaults to increase the data entry productivity of your accounts payable staff.
For example, you can define a default Accounts Payable Accounting Flexfield, which your Oracle Payables
application automatically assigns to all vendors. The vendor site's Accounts Payable Accounting Flexfield
defaults to all invoices you enter for that vendor site. Of course, you can always override default at any level.
Any change to the payment terms will only be used as default for subsequent transactions. Oracle Payables,
Purchasing and Assets share values you enter in this window.
Note: The following must be completed before defining Financial Options:
 Define set of books (Step FIN-6)
 Define payment terms (Step AP-2)
 Define currency (Step FIN-4)

Step AP-18 Flexible Address Formats
Oracle Applications allow you to enter the customer, supplier, bank, cheque, and remit-to addresses in
country specific formats.
This is done by customizing the descriptive Flexfields to enter and display address information in the
appropriate formats. The Flexfield window opens if a country you enter has a flexible address style assigned
to it, allowing you to enter an address in a layout associated with that country. If there is no address style
associated with the country then the standard address format is used.
will use the standard address styles provided by the system.
Step AP-19 Countries and Territories

Use this screen to maintain country and territory in formation. You cannot enter a new country or territory in
this form, but you can update the name, description, VAT member state code, or address style for any of the
240 predefined countries or territories.
will use the standard address styles provided by the system for all Countries, no need to update any value in
this form.

Step AP-20 Bank Accounts
You need to define the banks and bank accounts from which you make payments in Oracle Payables. You
can define multiple payment documents to use with each bank account. You must select a payment format
for each payment document you define for a bank account. You must enter at least one bank, bank account,
and payment document before you can make payments in your Oracle Payables application. If you use
Oracle Cash Management you need to define a bank error account, a bank charges account and a cash
clearing account for each account you plan on reconciling.

Bank Transaction Codes Zone :
If you want to use Cash Management’s Auto Reconciliation feature, you must define, for each account and
bank; the transaction codes that your bank uses to identify different types of transactions on its statements.
You should define a bank transaction code for each code that you expect to receive from your bank. Since,
will use the Manual Reconciliation feature of Cash Management, no need to define Transaction Codes.
Note: Bank and Bank Accounts need to be defined for all Banks. is currently using 16 Bank Accounts, List of
Configured Bank Accounts is enclosed as an Annexure - 2.
Step AP-21 Open Periods
You need to open at least one accounting period in your Oracle Payables application before you can enter an
invoice or make a payment. You use the Control Period Statuses form to change the status of accounting
periods. The status of a period can be Never Opened, Open, Future, Closed, or Permanently Closed. You can
open and close periods in your Oracle Payables application independently of your Oracle General Ledger
application.
Note: Please note all AP periods should be opened accordingly with General Ledger periods.

Step AP-22 Define Report Sets (Optional)
You can define report sets to make your report submission easier and more efficient. A report set is a group of
reports that you can submit all at one time to the concurrent manager. You assign a sequence to the reports in
a report set to determine the order in which the concurrent manager submits the reports.
Navigation: Other > Requests > Set

Step AP-23 Report Formats (Optional)
Aging Periods for Invoice Aging Report
You can also define the periods you want to use in your Invoice Aging Report. You can name each period
and define the order you want each period to print. You can easily change the format you set up and submit
another Invoice Aging Report whenever you want.

Step AP-24 AutoClear - Bank File Specifications (Optional)
Since is using GUI and implementing Cash Management this step is not required in Payables.
Step AP-25 Payables Period Types and Periods (Optional)
Use the Special Calendar window to define periods that Payables uses for Automatic Withholding tax,
Recurring invoices, and for the Key Indicators Report. For example, if you monitor staff productivity weekly,
use this window to define weekly periods for the Key Indicators calendar type.
The Report Run displays only checkbox indicates that a Key Indicators Report has been run for this period.
The checkbox is not applicable to Withholding Tax or Recurring Invoices calendar types.

Note: The periods you define in the Special Calendar window are completely separate from the periods you define in the
Accounting Calendar window for your AP Accounting Periods.
Navigation: Setup > Calendar > Special Calendar
At present there is no need at for Special Calendar and can be defined at the time of requirement.
Step AP-26 Budgetary Control (Optional)
Use the budgetary control feature to control actual and anticipated expenditures against your budget. To use
budgetary control, you must first install Oracle General Ledger, Oracle Purchasing, and Oracle Payables, or
Oracle Government General Ledger, Oracle Government Purchasing, and Oracle Government Payables. You
enable your budgetary control options and define your budgets in your Oracle General Ledger application.
This step is covered in Oracle General Ledger configuration.
Step AP-27 Implement Sequential Numbering
If you implement sequential numbering, you can assign a unique, sequential voucher number to any invoice
or payment. You can choose to manually assign the voucher number from a range of defined numbers or you
can set up your Oracle Payables application to automatically assign the number from a range of numbers.
To implement sequential numbering, your system administrator must first define document sequences for
each type of document you use (standard invoice, credit invoice, check, EFT, etc.) and document categories for
each document type. Your system administrator then assigns a document sequence to each document
category.
Note: To enable sequential numbering, enter Yes for the Sequential Numbering system Profile Option.
Since is running Oracle Payables parallely with HP System, it will use the same number by assigning it
manually for the current year and will use the automatic sequential numbering feature for the next year.
Step AP-28 Define Descriptive Flexfields (Optional)
Use Descriptive Flexfields to customize your application to capture additional details to fit your unique
business needs. You can also create context-sensitive Descriptive Flexfields that let you enter information
based on the value you entered in another field.
Note: To define a Descriptive Flexfield you need to:

 Design your Descriptive Flexfield
 Define Descriptive Flexfield Value Sets
 Define Descriptive Flexfield Segments
 Freeze and Compile your Descriptive Flexfield
 Define Descriptive Flexfield Segment Values
 Define Descriptive Flexfield Value Security Rules
For there is no requirement for Descriptive Flexfield.
Step AP-29 Set Profile Options (Optional)
Profile options specify how your Oracle Payables application controls access to and processes data. In
general, profile options can be set at one or more of the following levels: site, application, responsibility, and
user.
Navigation: Other > Profile
System Administrator > Profile > System
System Administrator > Profile > Personal
The following Profile setups are required to be completed in the System Administration Responsibility :
