MULTIPERIOD ACCOUNTING & NON RECOVERABLE TAX (VAT) IN ORACLE E-BUSINESS SUITE R12

mage

Lots of Oracle e-Business Suite customers are dealing with manual work to handle invoices of which the costs should be spread across multiple periods, for example 6 or 12 months instead of being taken immediately. This without being items meant for the ‘fixed assets’ administration.
Invoices of which you can think of are invoices for social security insurances (which are for the complete year) of invoices for certain subscriptions. Oracle R12 has great functionality for this, but some (slightly advanced) configuration is needed for this and there are certainly in Europe some attention points with regards to tax/vat.
 Subledger Accounting Engine
In Oracle R12 all accounting entries in the General Ledger are coming from the ‘Subledger Accounting Engine’, often abbreviated as ‘SLA’. This engine makes it possible to generate accounting entries based on a transaction for which ‘rules’ can be defined in a flexible way in SLA. In this respect SLA is the single point in the ERP system in which all account derivation rules are stored.
SLA
Solution for MultiPeriod Accounting
It is this SLA ‘layer’ which also contains possibilities to configure ‘MultiPeriod Accounting’ (MPA).
When entering invoices (or uploading them via a scan tool) you can flag the ‘deferred’ option and specify over which periods the costs should be spread.
MPA5f
Flagging these options on a invoice will only have effect when you have configured MPA in the SLA. It does not work automatically.
In this example we will use the default distribution account at invoice line level to posts the monthly costs over 5 months (Dec, Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr) while the total invoice line amount of 900 will be posted to a balance sheet account defined in SLA in December 2015.
One of the attention points in Europe is the tax/vat involved. In this example the tax is NOT recoverable and should as such be included in the costs. What you can also see is that the (by the tax module) added tax line is the tax for line 1 and 2 together. This is causing a difficulty as only the tax related to line 2 should be spread according to MPA over 5 months, while the tax related to line 1 should be taken in the costs immediately.
After configuring this with a smart mechanism to distinguish the 210 Euro tax between line 1 and 2 only the tax related to line 2 is spread.
When looking at the generated accounting entries, this is what you see.


The entry for invoice line 2 in the first month (December) in this example is:
Dr Prepaid Costs (B/S acct 1281100)       400 (Costs part)
Dr Prepaid Costs (B/S acct 1281100)          84 (Non recoverable VAT part)
 While the entry for invoice line 1 is December is:
Dr Costs (expense acct 4100000)             600
Dr Costs (expense acct 4100000)              126
 The created liability entry for this in December is:
 Cr Liability (1511100)                                                         1210  
Each month in which a part of the costs of line 2 should be expensed the following entry will be created automatically.
Costs (expense acct 4811200)                        80 (cost part)
@ Prepaid Costs (B/S acct 1281100)                                  80
 Costs (expense acct 4811200)                            16,80 (non recoverable tax part)
@ Prepaid Costs (B/S acct 1281100)                                   16,80
This entry is created in December, January, February, March and April, after that the balance of the prepaid expense balance sheet account is cleared out.
A very useful functionality and often not used or not used to the full extent!

Public API’s for FA Transactions

Public API’s for FA Transactions So far Oracle FA is have all the good things except the lack on reporting.Oracle FA is now offer lot of public API's that can be used to interfacing with third party or Oracle application other modules. 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. Adjustments API you can make cost adjustments to your assetsdirectly via PL/SQL using  FA_ADJUSTMENT_PUB.DO_ADJUSTMENT  for any  process adjustment. Detail can be found in appendix H) You can use this API if you have a custom interface that makes it difficult to use with the existing Oracle Assets interfaces for adjusti...
