Accounting Flow for Purchase Orders, Receipts and Matched Invoices in an Encumbrance Environment

An Oracle White Paper

July 2006

This document details the accounting entries that are expected for purchase orders with Expense or Inventory destinations, receipts and matched invoices. It also considers the two choices of accrual available for Expense items in an encumbrance-enabled environment. Expense items can be accrued at a) Period-end b) On Receipt Inventory Items can ONLY be accrued at a) Receipt This document consists of the following case studies/scenarios. Accrue on receipt: (APO) Case 1: Expense Destination/Create, Approve, Reserve/Receive/Invoice Case 2: Expense Destination/Create, Approve, Reserve/Invoice/Receive Case 3: Expense Destination/Create, Approve, Reserve/Receive/Invoice at a price greater than PO price Case 4: Expense Destination/Create, Approve, Reserve/Receive/Invoice at a quantity greater than PO quantity Case 5: Inventory Destination/ Create, Approve, Reserve/Receive/Invoice Case 6: Inventory Destination/ Create, Approve, Reserve/Invoice/Receive Accrue at Period-end: (APE) Case 1: Create PO /Receive PO /Deliver PO /Invoice/Run the period end program Case 2: Create PO /Invoice/Receive PO/Deliver PO/Run the period end program Case 3: Create PO/Receive PO/Deliver PO/Run the period end program/Invoice Case 4: Create PO/Receive PO/Run the Period end program/Deliver PO/Run the period end program/Invoice Case 5: Create PO /Receive PO /Deliver PO /Invoice at a price greater than PO Price/Run the period end program Case 6: Create PO /Receive PO /Deliver PO /Invoice at a quantity greater than PO Quantity/Run the period end Program

The following Pages will explain each case in detail: LEGEND: AOR= Accrue On Receipt, APE= Accrue at Period-End

Accrual entries will be generated /created ONLY when the Received quantity > Billed quantity at the time of running Receipt Accruals-Period end program.

2. Under the cases mentioned above under the Period-end Section, manual reversal of journal entries are not required except for Case 3 and Case 4 since there are NO accrual entries created /generated. 3. For all these cases the account records from receiving will also be inserted into GL_BC_PACKETS, along with the other subledger tables mentioned above. These records in GL_BC_PACKETS can be viewed by querying the max(packet_id), as there are no REFERENCE fields populated for receiving records. 4. Liability a/c which is recorded at invoice price will also include the recoverable and non-recoverable tax rates.
