Define System Options:
Define your
accounting, discount, tax, and invoice system options to control how
Receivables works. System options determine your accounting method, set of
books, accounting flexfields, whether you use header or line–level rounding,
and control the default operation of the AutoInvoice and Automatic Receipt
programs.
System options also control how Receivables calculates tax on your transactions. You must specify a tax method, choose a Location Flexfield Structure, indicate whether to compound tax, select the address validation to use, and define tax defaults and rounding options. As you can set up your system to calculate Sales Tax, Value Added Tax, or Canadian Tax, we recommend that you carefully review the appropriate implementing tax essay before defining your system options.

Define Transaction
Flexfield Structure:
Transaction flexfields
are descriptive flexfields that AutoInvoice uses to identify transactions and transaction
lines. Receivables lets you determine how you want to build your transaction
flexfield structure and what information you want to capture.
There are four types of transaction flexfields:
• Line Transaction Flexfield
• Reference Transaction Flexfield
• Link–To Transaction Flexfield
• Invoice Transaction Flexfield
You must define the
Line Transaction Flexfield if you use AutoInvoice. You can use the Line
Transaction Flexfield to reference and link to other lines because the Line
Transaction Flexfield is unique for each
transaction line. AutoInvoice always uses the Line Transaction Flexfield structure for both the Link–to and Reference information when importing invoices. You must explicitly define the Link–to, Reference,
and Invoice Transaction Flexfield structures only if this information is to be displayed on a custom window.
Receivables gives you the option of displaying Invoice Transaction Flexfield information in the reference column of invoice lists of values.
transaction line. AutoInvoice always uses the Line Transaction Flexfield structure for both the Link–to and Reference information when importing invoices. You must explicitly define the Link–to, Reference,
and Invoice Transaction Flexfield structures only if this information is to be displayed on a custom window.
Receivables gives you the option of displaying Invoice Transaction Flexfield information in the reference column of invoice lists of values.
Use the System Profile
Option AR: Transaction Flexfield QuickPick Attribute to select the Invoice
Transaction Flexfield segment that you want to display. For example, if you
want to be able to reference the
order number for imported invoices when using an invoice list of values, you must assign the transaction flexfield segment that holds the order number to the AR: Transaction Flexfield QuickPick Attribute
profile option. The order number will now display in the reference column of invoice lists of values.

profile option. The order number will now display in the reference column of invoice lists of values.
Line Transaction
Flexfield:
Use columns
INTERFACE_LINE_ATTRIBUTE1–15 and INTERFACE_LINE_CONTEXT to define the Line
Transaction Flexfield. Line Transaction Flexfields are unique for each record
in the interface table and therefore can be used as record identifiers.
Reference Transaction
Flexfield:
Reference Transaction Flexfields have the same structure as the Line Transaction Flexfields.
Transactions 4 – 235 Reference Transaction Flexfields are used to apply a credit memo to an invoice or associate an invoice to a specific commitment.
Reference Transaction Flexfields have the same structure as the Line Transaction Flexfields.
Transactions 4 – 235 Reference Transaction Flexfields are used to apply a credit memo to an invoice or associate an invoice to a specific commitment.
For example, to refer
a credit memo to a specific invoice, use the REFERENCE_LINE_ATTRIBUTE1–15 and
REFERENCE_LINE_CONTEXT columns of the credit memo to enter the Line Transaction
Flexfield of the invoice. To refer an invoice to a specific commitment, use the
REFERENCE_LINE_ATTRIBUTE1–15 and REFERENCE_LINE_CONTEXT columns of the invoice
to enter the Line Transaction Flexfield of the commitment.
Link–To Transaction
Flexfield:
Link–To Transaction
Flexfields also have the same structure as the Line Transaction Flexfield. Use
Link–To Transaction Flexfields to link transaction lines together in the
interface table. For example, you might want to import tax and freight charges
that are associated with specific transaction lines. If you want to associate a
specific tax line with a specific transaction line, use the
LINK_TO_LINE_ATTRIBUTE1–15 and LINK_TO_LINE_CONTEXT columns of the tax line to
enter the Line Transaction Flexfield of the invoice.
Invoice Transaction
Flexfields:
Create a new flexfield with a similar structure as the Line Transaction Flexfield, but only include header level segments. For example, if the Line Transaction Flexfield structure has four segments and the last two segments contain line level information, define your Invoice Transaction Flexfield using the first two segments only. Segments included in the Invoice Transaction Flexfield should be included in the AutoInvoice grouping rules.

Define Sales Tax
Location Flexfield:
Receivables uses the
customer shipping address to determine the sales tax rate on transactions for
all customers in the country that you define in the Systems Option window as
your home country. Proceed to the next step if you are not charging your
customers tax based on their shipping address.
Following are the
seeded Sales Tax Location Flexfield structures:
• Country
• State and City
• Province and City
• City
• Province
• State, County and City
• Country
• State and City
• Province and City
• City
• Province
• State, County and City
Use the Key Flexfield
Segments window to select the seeded Sales Tax Location Flexfield structure, or
to set up a new structure, that you want Receivables to use to determine your
sales tax rates and to validate
your customer addresses.
You can confirm that the required segments are enabled by navigating to the Segments Summary window. Navigate back to the Key Flexfield Segments window to freeze your flexfield structure by checking the
Freeze Flexfield Definition check box and then compiling the flexfield.

Like wise we can
define other sales tax location flexfields,
Define AutoCash Rule
Sets:
If you are using
AutoCash, define your AutoCash rule sets before defining system parameters or
customer profiles classes. AutoCash rules determine the sequence of application
methods Receivables uses when applying receipts imported using AutoLockbox to
open debit items.
Navigation:
Receivables --> Setup --> Receipts --> Autocash rule sets.
Define Receivables
Lookups:
Receivables provides
several default lookups which are used throughout the application to provide
validated default values and list of values choices. You can add or update
these to customize your list of values and speed data entry. For example, you
can define additional reasons for creating credit memos or enter the names of
each freight carrier used by your business.
Navigation:
Receivables --> Setup --> System --> Quickcodes --> Receivables.
Define lookups as you
like.
Define Invoice Line
Ordering Rules:
If you are using
AutoInvoice, define invoice line ordering rules to specify how you want to
order and number transaction lines after AutoInvoice groups them into invoices,
debit memos, and credit memos. Receivables provides many attributes that you
can use to define your line ordering rules.
Navigation:
Receivables --> Setup --> Transactions --> Autoinvoice --> Line
Ordering rule.
Define Grouping Rules:
If you are using
AutoInvoice, define grouping rules to indicate how you want to group
transaction lines imported by AutoInvoice. For example, to include specific
transaction lines on a single transaction, certain attributes must be
identical. Receivables provides many attributes that you can use to define your
grouping rules.
Navigation:
Receivables --> Setup --> Transactions --> Autoinvoice --> Grouping
Rule.
Define Application
Rule Sets:
Define Application
Rule Sets to control how Receivables reduces the balance due for your open
debit items when you apply payments using either the Applications window or
Post QuickCash. You can define your own application rule sets, assign them to
transaction types, and specify a default rule set in the System Options window.
Navigation:
Receivables --> Setup --> Receipts --> Application Rule sets.
Define Payment Terms:
Define payment terms
to determine the payment schedule and discount information for customer
invoices, debit memos, and deposits. You can also define proxima payment terms
to pay regular expenses such as telephone bills and credit card bills that
occur on the same day each month and create split payment terms for invoice
installments that have different due dates.
Navigation:
Receivables --> Setup --> Transactions --> Payment terms.
Define AutoAccounting:
Define AutoAccounting
to specify the general ledger accounts for transactions that you enter manually
or import using AutoInvoice. AutoAccounting uses this information to create the
default revenue, receivable, freight, tax, unearned revenue, unbilled receivable,
finance charges, bills receivable accounts, and AutoInvoice clearing (suspense)
accounts.
Navigation: Receivable
--> Setup --> Transactions --> Auto Accounting.
Like wise we should
also define reaming auto accounting types.
Open or Close Accounting
Periods:
Navigation:
Receivables --> Control --> Accounting --> Open/Close Periods.
Define Transaction
Types:
Define the transaction
types that you assign to invoices, debit memos, commitments, chargebacks,
credit memos, on–account credits, and bills receivable. Receivables uses
transaction types to default payment term,
account, tax, freight, creation sign, posting, and receivables information. Receivables provides two predefined transaction types: Invoice and Credit Memo.
account, tax, freight, creation sign, posting, and receivables information. Receivables provides two predefined transaction types: Invoice and Credit Memo.
Navigation: Receivables
--> Setup --> Transaction --> Transaction Types.
Define Transaction
Sources:
Define the transaction
sources that you assign to invoices, debit memos, commitments, credit memos,
on–account credits, and bills receivable. Receivables uses transaction sources
to control your transaction and transaction batch numbering, provide default
transaction types for transactions in batch, and to select validation options
for imported transactions. Receivables provides the following predefined
transaction sources: MANUAL–OTHER, DM Reversal, and Chargeback.
Navigation:
Receivables --> Setup --> Transaction --> Sources.
Define
Collectors:
Define collectors to
assign to your customers through credit profile class assignments. Collectors
can use the Collections windows and Receivables collection reports to keep
apprised of a customer’s past due items. Receivables provides a predefined
collector called DEFAULT.
Navigation:
Receivables --> Setup --> Collections --> Collectors.
Define Approval Limits:
Define approval limits to determine whether a Receivables user can approve adjustments or credit memo requests. You define approval limits by document type, dollar amount, reason code, and currency.
Approval limits affect the Adjustments, Submit AutoAdjustments, and Approve Adjustments windows as well as the Credit Memo Request Workflow.
Navigation: Receivables --> Setup --> Transactions --> Approval Limits.
Define Remittance Banks:
Proceed to the next step if you already defined your remittance banks in Oracle Payables. Define all of the banks and bank accounts you use to remit your payments. You can define as many banks and bank accounts as you need and define multiple currency bank accounts to accept payments in more than one currency.
Define Receivables Activities
Define Receivables Activities to provide default accounting information when you create adjustments, discounts, finance charges, miscellaneous cash transactions, and bills receivable. Receivables also uses Receivables Activities to account for tax if you calculate tax on these activities.
Navigation: Receivables --> Setup --> Receipts --> Receivable Activities.
Like wise we should
define reaming receivable actives also.
Define Receipt Classes:
Define receipt classes to specify whether receipts are created manually or automatically. For manual receipts, you can specify whether to automatically remit it to the bank and/or clear your accounts. For automatic receipts, you can specify a remittance and clearance method, and whether receipts using this class require confirmation.
Navigation: Receivables --> Setup --> Receipts --> Receipts Class.
Define Receipt Classes:

Click on Bank accounts.
Enter information in respective fields.
Save your work.
Define Payment Method:
Define the payment methods to account for your receipt entries and applications and to determine a customer’s remittance bank information. When defining payment methods, you must enter a receipt class, remittance bank information, and the accounts associated with your payment receivables type. You can also specify accounts for confirmation, remittance, factoring, bank charges, and short–term debt.
Navigation: Receivables --> Setup --> Receipts --> Receipts Class.
Define Statement Cycles:
Define statement cycles to control when you create customer statements. You assign statement cycles to customers in the Customer Profile Classes window.
Navigation: Receivables --> Setup --> Print --> Statement Cycle.
Define profile options:
Define profile options to provide default values for some Receivables operations, specify how Receivables processes data, and control which actions users can perform.
Navigation: Administrator --> Profile --> Systems.
During your implementation, you set a value for each Receivables user profile option to specify how Receivables controls access to and processes data. Receivables lets you govern the behavior of many of
the windows that use profile options.
Profile options can be set at the following levels:
• Site: This is the lowest profile level. Site level profile option values affect the way all applications run at a given site.
• Application: These profile option values affect the way a given application runs.
• Responsibility: These profile option values affect the way applications run for all users of a given responsibility.
• User: These profile option values affect the way applications run for a specific application user. The values you enter for options at the User level supersede the values that your system administrator has entered for you for these options.
Each of these user profile options affect the behavior of Receivables in different contexts. In Receivables, operations that profile options can affect include receipt application, the entry of adjustments, the creation
and remittance of automatic receipts and taxes, and posting to your general ledger.
You may also have additional user profile options on your system that are specific to applications other than Receivables.
To change profile options at the Site, Application, or Responsibility level, choose the System Administrator responsibility, then navigate to the Personal Profile Values window. Query the Profile Name field to
display the profile options with their current settings, make your changes, then save your work. You can change profile options at the user level in the Personal Profile Values window. To do this, navigate to the Personal Profile Values window, query the profile option to change, enter a new User Value, then save your work. Generally, your system administrator sets and updates profile values at each level.
Attention: For any changes that you make to profile options to take effect, you must either exit, and then reenter Receivables, or switch responsibilities.
Define Salespersons:
Define salespersons to allocate sales credits to invoices, debit memos, and commitments. If you do not want to assign sales credits for a transaction, you can enter No Sales Credit. If AutoAccounting depends on salesperson, Receivables uses the general ledger accounts that you enter for each salesperson along with your AutoAccounting rules to determine the default revenue, freight, and receivable accounts for transactions.
Define Customer Profile Classes:
Define customer profile classes to categorize customers based on credit, payment terms, statement cycle, automatic receipt, finance charge, dunning, and invoicing information. When you initially set up your customers, you assign each customer to a profile class. To customize the profile class for a specific customer, use the Customer Profile Classes window.
Navigation: Receivables --> Customers --> Profile Classes.
In Profile Class window enter the following information.
Define salespersons to allocate sales credits to invoices, debit memos, and commitments. If you do not want to assign sales credits for a transaction, you can enter No Sales Credit.

Define Customers:
Define customers and customer site uses to enter transactions and receipts in Receivables. When you enter a new customer, you must enter the customer’s name, profile class and number (if automatic customer numbering is set to No). You can optionally enter customer addresses, contacts, site uses and telephone numbers. You must enter all the components of your chosen Sales Tax Location Flexfield when entering customer addresses in your home country.
Navigation: Receivables --> Customers --> Standard.
Define Remit–To Addresses:
Define remit–to addresses to inform your customers where to send payments. Associate each remit–to address with one or more state, country, and postal code combinations.
For example, if you want your customers in California and Nevada to send their payments to a specific address, enter the remit–to address and associate the states CA and NV with this address. Remit–to addresses are assigned based on the bill–to address on the transaction.
