Encumbrance Accrual Accounting for PO and Invoice

 Encumbrance Accrual Accounting for PO and Invoice
R12 Encumbrance Accrual Accounting for PO and Invoice
What is Budgetary Control?
A method of systematically enforcing spending limits by ensuring availability of budgeted funds before approval of transactions, including pre-expenditures.

What is Encumbrance?
A method of tracking and controlling an organization’s spending from the very early stage of initial documented evidence showing intention to buy to the final stage of actual expenditure. It is a management tool used to reflect commitments in the accounting system and attempt to prevent overspending. Mostly Used by Government and Non-Profit Firms

How it works?
Once an encumbrance document(PO, Invoice..etc) is created, funds are set aside for the sole purpose of enabling the organization to pay for it. If funds are insufficient due to budget or previous commitments and expenditures, no new encumbrances can be entered, ensuring that budget will not be exceeded.

Calculation of fund available
F.A. = Budget – (Encumbrance + Actual)

F.A. - Amount of money left in the account to spend
Budget – Maximum amount that can be spend for the account
Encumbrance – Reserved amount (Requisition, PO, invoice, and others)
Actual – Amount liable to another party


Encumbrance Accounting for documents PO and Invoice When accounting method Encumbrance Accrual is set
Example:
Budget is $1000
Purchasing an item which costs $200
Assume encumbrance is enabled for Purchase Orders and Invoices

Fund available before transaction
   F.A. = Budget – (Encumbrance + Actual)
   F.A. = 1000   –  (0+0) = 1000

Create a PO for $200.
   Application RESERVES the fund of $200 for PO
   PO  A/C------------------------200-----Dr
   RFE A/C------------------------200-----Cr
  
   F.A. = Budget – (Encumbrance + Actual)
   F.A. = 1000   - (200+0) = 800

Created an Invoice for $200 and matched it to the above said PO and validate Invoice(bc_event and validation event get created).
   Step 1: Application REVERSES PO encumbrance accounting.
   PO  A/C------------------------200-----Cr
   RFE A/C------------------------200-----Dr
  
   Step 2: Application RESERVES the fund of $200 for Invoice(bc_event)
   Inv A/C------------------------200-----Dr
   RFE A/C------------------------200-----Cr

   F.A. = Budget – (Encumbrance + Actual)
   F.A. = 1000   - (200+0) = 800

Run accounting for invoice actuals(Invoice Validation event).
   Step 1: Application REVERSES above Invoice encumbrances accounting(bc_event).
   Inv A/C------------------------200-----Cr
   RFE A/C-----------------------200-----Dr

   Step 2: Application creates original entries for invoice(Invoice Validation event).
   ItemExpenseA/C----------------200-----Dr
   LiabilityA/C---------------------200-----Cr

   F.A. = Budget – (Encumbrance + Actual)
   F.A. = 1000   - (0+200) = 800

Note: Payment accounting may happen in two stages based on option selected in Payables->Setup->Options->PayablesOptions->AccountingOption tab->PaymentAccounting.
Payment Accounting:
   Direct Pay-No Clearance
     Payment Time
     LiabilityA/C-------------------200----Dr
     CashA/C----------------------200----Cr

   Or

   Pay and Clear
     Payment Time
     LiabilityA/C-------------------200----Dr
     CashClearingA/C--------------200----Cr

     Clearing Time
     CashClearingA/C--------------200----Dr
     CashA/C----------------------200----Cr

Unbilled Receivables and Unearned Revenue Accounting in Oracle Projects

Unbilled Receivables and Unearned Revenue Accounting in Oracle Projects Introduction When it comes to contractual billing, invoice and revenue generation are two separate processes, which during the lifespan of a project may or may not always coincide with each other and so do the balances in revenue and receivables accounts.  This interim difference between revenue and invoice account balances is bridged using Unbilled Receivables (UBR) and Unearned Revenue (UER) Accounts. Unearned Revenue (UER) Unearned Revenue (also termed as deferred revenue or UER) signifies money received for the goods or services, which are yet to be delivered.  As per the principles of Revenue Recognition, UER is recorded as on the balance sheet unless it is converted to Revenue upon delivery of goods or services For Example XYZ Consulting Ltd. receives an annual maintenance contract of $ 12,000 on Dec 31, 2014 for the period of Jan 01, 2015 to Dec 31, 2015. At the start of the contract as of Dec 31, 2...
