print the content of the electronic file in a user-understandable manner. The report
allows submitting in detail and summary modes: Detail mode displays the file content,
as well as the detail lines used to obtain the third party total amount; summary mode
exclusively prints the file content in a user-understandable manner.

3.4.2.4. New and Enhanced Report Extracts
Oracle Payables and Oracle Receivables provide in this release a set of new and
enhanced extracts, from which customers can obtain the information required to meet
local regulations, business practices, and ad-hoc reporting needs.
The combination of these standard extracts with the XML Publisher reporting tool
significantly improves the ability to create new outputs, or update existing ones, to meet
business and legal requirements.
In a joint effort with Oracle Financials, Oracle SSI delivered a set of country specific
templates based on these new standard product extracts. The new templates, available on
Metalink and maintained by SSI, can be used to replace a large number of consulting
solutions in EMEA countries.
• Oracle Payables
• Oracle Receivables
Oracle Financials for India provides clients in India with a comprehensive solution to
comply with the India specific tax requirements as specified by Central Excise, Customs,
Sales Tax and VAT, and Tax Deduction at Source (TDS)(levied under Income Tax Act).
Oracle Financials for India also provides valuable information that can be used for
statutory and management reporting.
Oracle Financials for India uses its own tax engine, for handling taxes applicable across
‘Procure to Pay’ and ‘Order to Cash’ transactions.
In Oracle Financials for India, taxes are defaulted based on the pre-determined setup
(Tax Defaulting). Tax amounts are calculated based on precedence such as transaction
base value, tax on tax, or assessable value as specified by tax authority (Tax
Calculation). The Tax Amount is considered for inventory valuation, recoverability and
accounting based on the pre-determined recoverability and accounting rules (Tax
Accounting and Recoverability). Details of recoverable tax amount are recorded as part
of the repository (Tax Recording). This information can further be used to calculate the
final tax liability arising on settlement at the end of the tax period (Tax Settlement) and
for statutory reporting (Tax Reporting).
E-Business Suite Release 12.1Release Content Document Oracle Financials for India 7
3.5.2. Features
Financials for India uses an exclusive tax engine which, prior to the release, did not
support tax computation on standalone AP invoices. Tax computation was only available
for invoices matched to purchase orders or receipts. Hence, India customers had
restrictions in using the base application invoice functionality. To work around the
problem, customers had to implement Oracle Purchasing and re-engineer their business
processes to raise a purchase order for every payable transaction.
In this release, the India tax engine has been enhanced to support standalone invoices. A
new Tax User Interface (form) named ‘Invoice Taxes Localized’ is available to view /
modify the Financials for India taxes on a standalone invoice. VAT/Sales tax can now be
attached on invoices where item information is not critical. Users can also add non-
recoverable taxes of type ‘Any other’ to stand-alone invoices. This new non-recoverable
tax type can be used to add other miscellaneous charges to the invoice.
Fringe Benefit Tax is a used tax, which needs to be assessed by the organization on
specified expenses identified as Fringe benefits. The tax liability towards Fringe Benefit
Tax must be paid to the government account every quarter and the final settlement
should be done at the end of the year by filing the fringe benefit tax annual return.
Performa Income tax regulations on Fringe benefit tax also warrant specified
organizations to file their returns electronically.
While Oracle Payroll for India supports the computation of fringe benefit taxes,
Financials for India had no support for expenses occurring outside of Payroll. This new
feature addresses the requirements for fringe benefits not covered by Payroll and enables
computation, payment, tracking and statutory reporting of Fringe Benefit Taxes.
Enhancements include:
• The edibility to define Fringe Benefit Tax as a new regime at the LE/OU level
• A new setup UI to capture the benefit types, the taxable basis, tax percentage,
cess percentage, and surcharge percentage
• Additional fields on the Invoice Tax UI to capture the fringe benefit tax details
E-Business Suite Release 12.1Release Content Document Oracle Financials for India 8
3.5.2.3. Retroactive Pricing
In some industries, it is a common practice for buyers and suppliers to agree on an
interim price for a new part while negotiations for a final price are still in progress.
Purchase orders for the new part are placed and are invoiced and payments made based
on this interim price. In many cases the final price resulting from the negotiation
process, takes effect “retroactively” from an agreed upon date. The effect of this
retroactive price change is that existing blanket releases for the item need to be priced
again and invoices need to be adjusted for price corrections.
Retroactive Pricing functionality allows price revision events to be propagated from the
blanket agreement to the downstream documents relating to that agreement such as
releases or standard purchase orders. Such price modifications on purchasing documents
have a direct impact on the taxes applicable to the transactions.
Currently recompilation of taxes for a retroactive price adjustment in Financials for India
occurs only for blanket releases. Taxes are not adjusted for downstream transactions
such as receipt accruals, credit memos, and price correction invoices.
With this release, the retroactive pricing process has been modified to recalculate India
taxes on downstream transactions. In addition, a new UI is provided to allow users to
claim credit for recoverable taxes that have undergone an upward revision.
In prior releases, Oracle Financials for India functionality does not support tax inclusive
computations in “Order to Cash” and “Procure to Pay” cycles. With this release, support
for inclusive tax is provided.
Users will have the ability to define a tax as inclusive in the tax code definition and to
attach this code as a part of tax categories. For transactions having these tax codes, the
tax amounts are back calculated and reflected on the respective transaction. This enables
correct computing, tracking and accounting of inclusive taxes for financial and statutory
reporting.
3.5.3. Terminology
Term Definition
Fringe Benefit Tax Fringe Benefit Tax is a used tax applicable in India on
specified expenses. This is a federal tax and administered by
the Indian Income tax department. Regulatory requirements
related to the tax are applicable across India.

3.6. Oracle Payments
3.6.1. Overview
Oracle Payments provides a highly configurable and robust engine to disburse and
receive payments. Oracle Payments is a fundamental part of the Oracle Applications
architecture, and is provided with multiple products that require support for payment
processing. As the central payment engine, Oracle Payments processes invoice payments
from Oracle Payables, bank account transfers from Oracle Cash Management, and
settlements against credit cards and bank accounts from Oracle Receivables. Oracle
Payments provides the infrastructure needed to connect these applications and others
with third party payment systems and financial institutions.
3.6.2. Features
The SEPA payment schemes will operate alongside existing domestic payment schemes
during the transition period (2008 till 2010) where customers can decide whether to use
SEPA formats or not.
The SEPA Credit Transfer scheme is defined by the European Payment Council (EPC)
as a set of rules, practices and standards to support the creation and implementation of a
core and basic credit transfer process whether for single, bulk or repetitive payments.
The SCT will be governed by the EPC Rulebook and Implementation Guidelines V2.2
that were approved by the EPC in December 2006.
The SEPA Credit Transfer supports the ISO20022 message with the SEPA
implementation: customer credit transfer initiation (pain001.001.02). This XML message
contains all the relevant information related to the payment instruction and is sent by the
Payment Originator to the bank.
Oracle Profitability Manager provides enterprises with a greater insight into the
profitability of current operations, and empowers them with actionable information for
making decisions and driving improved profitability. As part of Oracle’s Corporate
Performance Management (CPM) suite, Oracle Profitability Manager is a comprehensive
solution for the calculation, analysis and reporting of profitability.
Oracle Profitability Manager was first released with Release 12. It is the integration of
two existing applications:
In Release 12.0, major emphasis was placed on maintaining all the industry leading
features and functions available in earlier versions of the Financial Services Applications
(OFSA), while simultaneously leveraging the power of the Oracle E-Business Suite.
3.7.2. Features
To help the user understand how these metadata changes affect their profitability
models, a new feature has been created that indicates where disabled dimension
members are used in mapping rules, or in hierarchies. Users are provided a concurrent
program that will scan a set of business rules, and write out the results to tables that can
be used for reporting with the tool of the user's choice. In addition, a purge routine has
also been provided that allows the user to clean up data from previous runs.
3.8.2. Features
Oracle Subledger Accounting (SLA) works together with Oracle General Ledger (GL) to
provide a world-class accounting system. This new accounting architecture addresses the
concurrent needs for strong internal controls and diverse accounting treatments. It offers
unparalleled visibility into enterprise-wide accounting information with a single, global
accounting repository and user-driven reporting. In short, SLA is a robust, centralized
accounting engine and repository that enables true global accounting.
Reporting currency reports, inquiries and analytics will display reporting currency
amounts as if the reporting currency had been defined at the same time as the
corresponding primary ledger. This feature is also available for new secondary ledgers.
Reporting is an onerous task for companies around the world. The complexity of
reporting exactly the right information, at the right time, frequently in pre-defined
formats that change over time, often leads customers to frustration.
In 11.5.10, Oracle took a leading step in addressing the diverse reporting needs by
introducing XML Publisher. XML Publisher separates data definition, also called
extracts, from output templates and allows users to create new layouts or update existing
ones using familiar desktop tools such as Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Adobe
Acrobat.
The on-going direction for EBS applications is to convert existing reports to XML
Publisher and provide generic report extracts that enable customers to create their own
output formats. This approach will allow customers to improve efficiencies, reduce cost,
and improve end user satisfaction.
