AP: Document Sequencing for Bank wise Check Payments



AP: Document Sequencing for Bank wise Check Payments:


There are scenarios or requirement where the payment voucher number should be generated Bank wise like payments made from HBL should have its own sequence and payment made from MCB should have its own. You can also narrow down the sequencing to Check Books.
Following is the levels of the Payment and its Document Categories:
  • All Payment (Check Pay: It is a seeded or default category)
  • Bank Account (this needs to be defined)
  • Check Book (this also needs to be defined)
I am not referring to other types of payment like EFT or Wire Transfer cuz frankly I haven’t seen any organization in Pakistan using these mode of payments, I am not denying that there aren’t but I haven’t seen and in turn haven’t worked on it. Although I worked with modes like Netting Payment and Refunds :D
The process is very simple. You just have to be familiar with Document Sequencing. For bank account wise sequence generation you have to perform following steps
  1. Define a separate Document Category using the System Administrator responsibility.
  2. Assign the newly created document category to either Bank Account OR Payment Document.
  3. Define a new Document Sequence.
  4. Assign the newly created Sequence to Category.
There you go, now the document sequence or voucher sequence will be generated against a particular bank account or check book.
You question should be: Where to assign the category and What is difference between assigning category to Bank Account and Check Book?
Well, the difference is very simple and it is of hierarchy that is if you assign the category code to bank account then all the check books created in that account will have the same document category assigned to it. Otherwise you have to select the category code for each check book.
For Step 1 Defining a separate Document Category, do the following:
Navigation: System Administrator>Application>Sequential Numbering>Categories
  1. Select Application as Payables.
  2. Enter Category Code like CHK_HBL. It is 30 character field.
  3. Enter Name like HBL Check Payment.
  4. Enter Description. (Optional)
  5. Select Table Name as AP_CHECKS_ALL. Don’t select any other table name. The reason to select this table name is because the payment document is created in this table.
Moving on, you have to assign this document category to either the Bank Account or the Check Book. I prefer to assign it at bank account level.
You have to get to Bank Account page, it’s up to your rights and responsibilities that you choose Payables or Cash Management to get to Bank Account Setup page. Here are the navigation and steps
Step 2 Assigning Document Category to the Bank Account
Navigation: Bank Accounts> Search Bank Account> Update the particular Bank Account>
  1. Click on Account Access Tab on the left.
  2. Click on Options.
  3. Enter the newly created category on the Payment Document Category field. Like in this example it is CHK_HBL.
You can also see another region Payment Document Categories by Payment Method. It is self-explanatory that if you are using multiple payment methods  with the particular bank account and want to have separate number generated for each method then you can define and assign separate document categories to each method.
For step 3 and 4 you have to refer to Document Sequencing
I hope this suffice your requirement. If you have any queries, feel free to contact me at atif.syd@gmail.com

Public API’s for FA Transactions

Here are some of transaction's API's:   Additions API if you have requirement to add assets directly via PL/SQL then use  FA_ADDITION_PUB.DO_ADDITION. If you have selected the Allow CIP Assets check box on the Book Controls window of a tax book when adding CIP assets using the Additions API, the this API automatically adds those CIP assets to that tax book at the same time that they are added to the corporate book.

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...
