Bill Presentment Architecture (BPA) in Oracle Receivables

Oracle Receivables

Bill Presentment Architecture is a responsibility that provides a customized invoice requested by customers due to Government policies or tax deduction norm. Usually customers request their vendors to develop invoices in various formats, they do not agree with the standard format already present in Oracle Application.
Bill Presentment architecture is a responsibility that develops template based configuration of bills for online presentation and printing. Earlier in Release 11i people used to develop customized invoices with the help of forms and reports, any other tools or using the same responsibility however due to lack of supplementary data source it was restricted to the Receivables only.

Now in R12 there are three more responsibilities involved as supplementary in it i.e. Oracle Order Management and Oracle Projects. Additionally transaction sources also available for creating templates.
In R12 to develop customized bill, it has become simple by creating templates and assigning the same to a particular customer. There are five steps to complete the template creation procedure where we need to define Header, Lines and Tax and Footer of the bill. In Line and Tax, Item description option is required, rest of the fields are optional as per the requirement of the customer. There are again various layouts available to create template and print it as per the size of the paper. If you don’t want to create various new templates, then you can copy an existing template modify it and assign the same as per the requirement. We can have one more option to upload the external files and printed bills instead of creating a new template; however uploaded bill will not be able to update.
