The Receivables Interface and AutoInvoice

The Receivables Interface program (a workflow process in R11i) extracts Sales Orders
and Returns from OE/OM once they have been shipped and/or approved and places them
in the Receivables Interface table. This table is used by the AutoInvoice program which
loads the contents of the table and creates invoices and credit memos in AR.

The Receivables Interface program (a workflow process in R11i) derives and populates
two critical columns in the interface table that, depending on your setup, are used to
ultimately determine the GL Date in AR. They are the Ship Date Actual Date and the
Sales Order Date.

For shippable line items:
Receivables Interface Column OE/OM Column
Sales Order Date <- Sales Order Date
Ship Date Actual <- Picking Header Ship Date (R10.7)
Departure Date (R11)
For non-shippable line items:
Receivables Interface Column OE/OM Column
Sales Order Date <- Sales Order Date
Ship Date Actual <- Null

For each AR Batch Source, AutoInvoice can be set up to “derive dates” or use the date
entered as a parameter in the AutoInvoice Submit Requests window.

The prepayment is type Temporary, fully paid, validated, not cancelled, has no active holds, and has not already been fully applied. The prepayment has the same supplier, invoice currency and payment currenc...

Overview of Encumbrance Accounting

With General Ledger you can record pre-expenditures commonly known as encumbrances. The primary purpose of tracking encumbrances is to avoid overspending a budget. Encumbrances can also be used to predict cash outflow and as a general planning tool. To use the full capabilities of encumbrance accounting, you must enable the budgetary control flag for a set of books. When you enable the budgetary control flag, the system automatically creates encumbrances from requisitions, purchase orders and other transactions originating in feeder systems such as Purchasing and Payables. When you do not enable the budgetary control flag, you can still enter manual encumbrances via journal entry, but you cannot generate encumbrances from requisitions and purchase orders. You have two options for using encumbrance data to monitor over-expenditure of a budget: After actuals and encumbrances have been posted, you can generate reports to show over-expenditures. You can also can use funds checking to preve...
