ADVANCED COLLECTIONS
This feature provides enhanced flexibility to collectors for managing the scoring and strategy assignments of
customers. This feature can also help increase collections efficiency and improve cash flow.
Manage Collections Scoring and Strategy Assignments is a new setup task that can be accessed using the
Functional Setup Manager, in the Setup and Maintenance work area. The following three types of assignments
can be captured:
1. Default Assignments - default scoring formula and delinquent strategy group assignments by business
level.
The predefined scoring formulas and delinquent strategy groups are populated by default. They can be
changed to any scoring formulas or strategy groups according to business requirements.
2. Delinquent Strategy Assignments by Segment - scoring formula assignments and delinquent strategy
group assignments by segment.
7
Based on business needs, scoring formulas and delinquent strategy groups can be assigned by business
level, business unit, or profile class.
Thresholds for remaining amounts due can be set up and delinquent strategy groups used when the
amount is below or above the thresholds. The columns Amount Overdue Lower Threshold and Below
Threshold Strategy Group are shown in the screenshot below. (For example, the first row in the table
specifies that the strategy group Customer Low Strategy should be used, when the remaining amount
due is below 700,000.00 USD, in the business unit Vision Operations for the business level Customer.)
There are two other hidden-by-default columns Amount Overdue Upper Threshold and Above
Threshold Strategy Group. If needed, they can be used to capture an upper threshold for remaining
amount due and the delinquent strategy group to be assigned when the amount is above the upper
threshold.
In addition to managing the delinquent strategy assignments, define the amount and day thresholds to
use in order to determine predelinquencies and to assign predelinquent strategy groups by business level
and business unit. For example, if the Amount Threshold is 150,000.00 USD and the Day Threshold is
7, it means a transaction will be considered predelinquent when the remaining amount due is more than
150,000.00 USD and will become past due in 7 days.
NOTE: The delinquent and predelinquent strategy assignments by segment are optional. If they are not set
up, the default assignments are used.
The Collections Delinquency Management process marks the delinquency and predelinquency status for
transactions, customers, accounts, and sites based on the business level and the predelinquency settings, if
any. This process can be scheduled to run on a regular basis.
The Collections Scoring and Strategy Assignment process retrieves the scoring formula and delinquent strategy
group based on the Manage Collections Scoring and Strategy Assignments setup, calculates the scores, and
assigns the strategies to delinquent customers accordingly. If predelinquent strategy group assignments are
defined, predelinquent strategies will be assigned as well. Delinquent strategies and predelinquent strategies
can run in parallel for the same customer.
8
COLLECTIONS WORK AREA LANDING PAGE AND CUSTOMER PAGE
Predelinquent strategy assignments can be set up and viewed for each customer on the Collections Work Area
landing page, as well as under the Strategies tab on the Customer page.
The manual strategy tasks generated based on the Manage Scoring and Strategy Assignments by Segment
setup are displayed in the Strategy Tasks information tile and the associated table on the Collections Work Area
landing page.
9

5. In the Invoice work area, make any necessary adjustments to the payment request.
6. Have payment requests approved, if required, as per the approval rules defined.
7. Schedule or run requests using Payment Process Request for One Time Payment either separately by
specifying a user-defined source, or with other payments by not specifying a source.
STEPS TO ENABLE
One Time Payments needs to be enabled using the Feature Opt-in page in Functional Setup Manager.
RECEIVABLES
The Simplified Customer Upload process originally ran only from the Upload Customers from Spreadsheet
page. The process ran in the background, creating a batch record prior to process submission.
With this feature update, Simplified Customer Upload can be run as a standalone process directly from remote
systems, using the ERP Integration service.
To run the Simplified Customer Upload process using the ERP Integration service:
1.
12
1. Populate the simplified template. (UploadCustomersTemplate.xlsm)
2. Upload the template to UCM using the uploadFileToUcm operation on the ErpIntegrationService.
3. Submit a ESSJobRequest using the submitESSJobRequest operation on ErpIntegrationService.
a. job package - oracle/apps/ess/financials/receivables/customerSetup/customerProfileClasses
b. job definition - UploadCustomerEss
c. job parameters - batchName, payload, batchId, "CREATE"
batchName: Name of the batch
batchId: Randomly generated unique number. Tip: Use systemtimestamp to generate this
number
Mode: Always use "CREATE"
4. Poll for the job status using the getESSJobStatus operation on ErpIntegrationService. If the status is not
WAIT, BLOCKED, RUNNING, PAUSED, COMPLETED and READY, then it means the process has
completed with success or error.
STEPS TO ENABLE
TAX
DISTRICT TAX CONTENT UPLOAD SUPPORT IN ERP CLOUD FOR TAX PARTNERS
In the United States, transaction taxes are statutorily imposed by many states, counties, and cities. either
creating tax zones using different combinations of counties, cities, and postal codes, or designating unique tax
districts. Taxes are calculated, reported, and remitted to municipal tax authorities for each separate transaction
tax and tax zone or district. Third-party tax partners can provide the tax content associated with states,
counties, and cities, as well as for unique tax districts comprised of particular combinations of counties, cities,
and postal codes. Due to the immense volume of existing tax zones and districts throughout the United States,
tax partners require a means to automatically load a high volume of district tax zones and taxes for both initial
creation and ongoing maintenance for Oracle ERP Cloud customers.
The Tax Rapid Implementation feature has been extended to support the efficient spreadsheet upload of tax
zone and tax district content provided by tax partners serving ERP Cloud customers in the following two key
areas:
1. Bulk upload of district tax zones throughout the United States comprised of any one of the following
geographic combinations within an individual district tax zone:
Counties, cities, and 5-digit postal codes
Counties, cities, and 9-digit postal codes
Counties and cities
Counties only
Cities only
Cities with 5-digit postal codes or 9-digit postal codes
5-digit or 9-digit postal codes only
2.
13
2. Bulk upload of unique district taxes which are automatically associated with the applicable district tax
zone for which an individual district tax applies.
STEPS TO ENABLE

ADD WHO COLUMNS FOR AUDITING
Auditing requirements are better supported by the addition of tracking columns in reporting.
Who columns have been added to OTBI subject areas for Payables Invoices and Expense Transactions in
Release 13, allowing users to report on Created By, Last Updated By, Creation Date, and Last Update Date.
Reports can now include information about when transactions were created and modified and by whom for all
the following entities in Financials:
* New in Release 13
STEPS TO ENABLE
Set up mappings between the Planning application and Financials Cloud General Ledger to write back Budgets
from Planning to Financials Cloud.
This integration, which can be run manually or scheduled for a specific time, no longer requires manual steps in
Financials Cloud and EPM Cloud. The updated integration also sets up the drill definition automatically, which
eliminates errors that may be caused when manually defining a drill definition.
Security is integrated between EPM and ERP to allow users to access information across these applications
without separate sign on.
STEPS TO ENABLE
21
Business enterprises often require the capability to efficiently associate specific attachments with a particular
business entity or collection of business entities. For example:
Payables invoices may need to be associated with supporting documents such as duplicate invoices,
payments, etc.
Receivables transactions may need to be linked to customer-centric documents.
Purchase orders may need supplementary files attached to indicate additional details related to specific
goods or services procured or the nature of the overall purchase.
STEPS TO ENABLE
SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS
You must inherit the Load Interface Admin duty role ORA_FUN_FSCM_LOAD_INTERFACE_ADMIN_DUTY to
the integration user.
For more information on the security considerations, see Oracle ERP Cloud Object Attachment Service.
INBOUND AND OUTBOUND DATA FILE ENCRYPTION USING ERP INTEGRATION SERVICE
Data files can now be secured between Oracle ERP Cloud and on-premise, PaaS applications, and legacy
systems. This ensures inbound or outbound data files are transmitted over the Internet securely to protect
company sensitive information and financial transactions like journal entries, invoices, payments and bank
records, data encryption is a critical and essential element in implementing your integrations with Oracle ERP
Cloud.
This is supported by the ERP Integration Service that supports interfaces across Financials, Project Portfolio
Management, Procurement, and Supply Chain Management. This service provides the ability to protect both
inbound and outbound data files, in addition to SSL and Oracle Web Service Manager (OWSM) message
protection policy over the internet.
The following diagram illustrates the File-Based Data Import (FBDI) import integration flow in the context of data
encryption.
The following diagram illustrates the export integration flow in the context of data encryption (extracting data out
from ERP Cloud).
22
STEPS TO ENABLE
PGP KEYS
Oracle ERP Cloud supports Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) unsigned encryption with 1024 key size. There are two
types of encryption keys:
The Oracle ERP Cloud PGP public key is used to encrypt the data file and the respective private key is used by
the import bulk data process to decrypt the data file before starting load and import process. The file stored in
the content server, UCM, remains encrypted.
ERP Cloud uses a customer PGP public key to encrypt the extracted file and upload to UCM. Use the customer
private key to decrypt the file in on-premise or PaaS systems.
Certificates establish keys for the encryption and decryption of data that Oracle Cloud applications
exchange with other applications. The Security Console is an easy-to-use administrative interface, accessed by
selecting Tools > Security Console on the home page, or from the Navigator. Use the Certificates page in the
Security Console functional area to manage PGP certificates..
From the Certificates page, select the Generate option. On the Generate page, select the certificate format PGP
and enter values appropriate for the format.
23
Once the key is generated, export the public key to encrypt the FBDI data file.
From the Certificates page, select the menu available in the row for the certificate to export or open the
details page for the selected certificate and select its Actions menu.
In either menu, select Export > Public Key.
Select a location for the export file. By default, this file is called [alias]_pub.asc
The customer public key is used by ERP Cloud to encrypt outbound files. The file is decrypted using the
customer private key. Follow these steps to import the customer public key:
24
The Certificates page displays a record for the imported certificate, with the Private Key cell unchecked.
KEY RESOURCES
Refer to the following resources for further details on automating the bulk import process and bulk export
process as well as encrypting data files:
FINANCIALS

Expenses streamlines and automates worker management of travel expenses. Workers can quickly enter
expense reports anytime and anywhere with multiple entry options, including simplified online and spreadsheet
entry options, as well as mobile entry for both the iPhone and Android. Configurable rules allow managers to
enforce approval policies, per diem policies, and corporate expense policies for controlling enterprise spending.
Oracle Expenses also supports corporate card transactions, travel integration with GetThere, and electronic
image processing for faster reimbursement.
45
The following capabilities are new:
You can define rate limits for employee attendees. The limit is applied to each employee identified as an
attendee for an entertainment expense.
You can prevent employees from creating a new nonemployee attendee while entering an entertainment
expense. This allows companies to maintain a preapproved list of attendees.
Certain entertainment events are designed to include both employee and nonemployee attendees. You
can mandate entry of employee and nonemployee attendee information for an entertainment expense.
You can also control capture of additional required or optional information.
Expenses, such as hotel, can be itemized to include entertainment expenses. Now you can add
attendees to these itemized expenses.
Expense reports validate the required information and raise policy violations based on the configuration setup.
Managers can review policy violations which are highlighted in the approval notifications. Expense reports with
policy violations can be automatically selected for audit.
STEPS TO ENABLE
To define rate limits for employee attendees, perform the following steps:
1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, navigate to the Manage Policies by Expense Category page.
2. Click the Create Policy button and select the Entertainment option.
3. In the Create Entertainment Policy page, select the following in the Rate Definition section.
Enable rate limit check box.
Single instance limit check box.
Rate currency radio button.
4. In the Rate Determinants section, select the employee check box.
5. Click the Save policy button.
6. Click the Create Rates button to define the rate limits. You define the rate limits in the Employee table.
When you enter an expense report attached to this entertainment policy, the expense is validated against the
rate limits configured in the Employee table.
46
Defining Employee Rates
To prevent employees from creating nonemployee attendees, deselect the Enable Nonemployee
Creation check box on the Create Entertainment Policy page.
To require at least one nonemployee attendee, select the Require at Least One Nonemployee as
Attendee check box.
To require employee or nonemployee attendee information, select the Required option from the
Attendee Type, Attendee Amount, or the Job Title choice lists.
To enable itemized expense types with entertainment category, perform the following steps:
In the Setup and Maintenance work area, navigate to the Manage Policies by Expense Category page.
On the Manage Expense Report Templates page, assign entertainment policies to any entertainment
expense types on the Policies tab.
47
Assigning Entertainment Policies
In expense entry, you can add attendees to entertainment expenses that are itemized on the Create Expense
Item page by clicking the Attendees link.
You can restrict users to allocate expenses to cost centers only. This enables companies to prevent
intercompany transactions for expense reporting.
Previously, when you enabled terms and agreements, both the check box and the policy link were
displayed in one link. Now, you can create terms and agreements text without a link to the policy.
Alternatively, you can enable the policy link without the terms and agreements check box.
You can mandate the capture of merchant and receipt details without enabling the selection of tax
classification codes. This allows tax classification codes to be automatically populated based on the
expense type.
Two new capabilities have been added to expedite expense processing of globally mobilized employees
and new hires. Globally mobilized employees are employees transferred to another location or on
temporary assignment.
Processing of expenses incurred before hire date. Previously, expense reports were not
processed if they only contained expenses before hire date. You can now process these reports
by enabling a profile option.
Submission of expense reports from a previous assignment. When employees change work
assignments, their assigned business unit may also change. When a change in business unit
48
occurs, expenses that were incurred during the previous work assignment are not actionable from
the Expense Items information tile in the Expenses work area. Only charges incurred during the
current assignment are displayed in the Expense Items information tile.
You can use either of the two methods to submit the expenses from a previous assignment for
reimbursement. You can select the applicable corporate card transactions from the Manage Corporate
Card Transactions page and submit them in a new report or add to an existing report. Transactions
incurred during previous assignments are identified in the page. Alternatively, you can edit a Saved or
Withdrawn expense report, add the expenses from a previous assignment, and submit them. The Add
Expense Items window is restricted to show transactions from the same business unit as the expense
report.
Auditors can add attachments to expense reports and cash advances in any status.
After an expense report or cash advance audit is complete, auditors may receive supporting
documentation or additional information pertinent to the audit. You can now attach these additional
details even if the audit is complete.
Companies that require both imaged and original receipts may use imaged receipts for audit and
reimbursement and the original receipts for tax reclamation. In cases where employees email originals to
their payables department and a central scanning service is used for creation of imaged receipts, the
original receipt received date is the date when the imaged receipt is created. Expenses automatically
populates this original receipt received date to save auditors time. We have added a new option to the
Create Expense Report Receipt and Notification Rule page to capture the default check-in date
preference.
To process expense reports accurately, auditors need to know if the employee is still with the company.
The Audit Expense Reports page and the Audit Cash Advances page display a message if the employee
on the expense report or cash advance is no longer with the company.
Previously, short-paid expense reports and expense reports already assigned to auditors could be
audited only by the assignees. This restriction is now removed to expedite expense processing. Now any
auditors in the corresponding business units can audit short-paid reports and reports in another auditor's
queue. If, however, an auditor has requested more information for an expense report, that report can only
be audited by the assigned auditor.
Employees and managers sometimes ask auditors to return an audited expense report with errors, but
not processed for payment to Payables. A new action Return Expense Report is added to the Audit
Expense Report page to allow auditors to return audited expense reports to employees. Auditors can
return the expense reports only when they are in Ready for Payment Processing status. When a report is
returned, associated expense reports for card issuers, also called .1 reports, are removed and cumulative
mileage calculation is recalculated when applicable.

CREDIT MANAGEMENT
Credit Management provides the information and tools to monitor and evaluate the credit worthiness of
customers and make informed credit decisions. With a wealth of timely internal and external data, you can
balance growth with financial stability by tailoring credit policies to your business needs and market conditions.
As part of the Oracle Financials Cloud Credit-to-Cash solution, the Credit Management feature helps to
improve cash flow, increase billing efficiency, optimize customer relationships, and instill corporate and fiscal
discipline.
This feature provides rich and easy-to-use credit management capabilities in the following four areas:
Customer profiles and customer account profiles now support a full list of credit-related attributes: Credit
Analyst, Credit Review Cycle, Last Review Date, Next Review Date, Credit Classification, Credit Limit, Credit
Currency, Tolerance, Risk Code, Credit Rating, Credit Hold, Include in Credit Check, Conversion Rate Type,
and Expiration Offset Days.
You can choose to maintain these credit attributes in customer profiles or customer account profiles, or both.
The values set in a customer profile by default apply to all accounts of the customer. If necessary, you can set
different values on individual customer account profiles. Most importantly, the credit limit of a customer account
defines the total credit that this one account can consume; the credit limit of a customer defines the total credit
all of its accounts can consume. Setting the credit profiles for customers or customer accounts is the
prerequisite to most credit management functionality, including credit checking, periodic credit review
generation, and auto-assignment of credit analysts.
You can set or update these attributes using either the Manage Customers page or the Customer Import
spreadsheet (FBDI). Most of these attributes can also be defaulted based on the Receivables customer profile
classes.
76
2. STREAMLINED CREDIT REVIEW PROCESS
You can conduct credit reviews on a customer or customer account. Each review is represented by a credit
case folder. Depending on the process, credit case folder creation is either automatic or manual.
Credit case folders created due to credit checking failure: When a customer or customer account fails a
credit check, and there is no active case folder for this customer or customer account, a new case folder
is created automatically.
Credit case folders created based on periodic review cycle: The periodic review process creates new
credit case folders for customers that are due for periodic reviews, based on the Credit Review Cycle,
Last Review Date, and Next Review Date settings in the customer or customer account profiles.
Credit case folders created manually: To handle any ad-hoc credit review requests, credit analysts can
create credit case folders on the Credit Reviews page.
Use the Manage Credit Case Folder Templates setup task to define credit case folder templates to capture the
default scoring model and the data points to include in a case folder. When a case folder is created
automatically, a template is selected based on the credit classification of the customer or customer account and
the review type (such as a periodic review). The template scoring model and data points are applied to the case
77
folder accordingly. Each case folder is also automatically assigned a credit analyst based on the Credit Analyst
setting in the customer or customer account profiles.
The new Credit Reviews work area provides credit analysts and credit managers with the necessary tools to
review and manage credit case folders. From the work area landing page, you can search case folders, view
high-level information about the case folders, and take actions such as creating a new case folder, reassigning
case folders to another analyst, and closing case folders. Predefined default searches are provided for credit
analysts and credit managers to help manage their work queue.
You can drill down to the case folder details page, which displays all the necessary information for a credit
review:
The main information in any case folder includes a list of summary and high-level attributes, the data
points displayed based on the template, and the calculated credit score. You can view how the credit
score is derived based on the scoring model and the data point values. When the credit score cannot be
calculated due to missing data point values, you can enter the data point values and re-calculate the
score.
You can create and edit recommendations, a set of predefined actions that Receivables will implement
automatically when the case folder is approved. Examples include setting a new credit limit, and
adjusting the credit classification for the customer or customer account.
You can also view the approval history of the case folder. The history includes records of when and by
whom an approval or rejection took place.
Refresh Data: Retrieves the latest values for all data points and recalculates the credit score.
Approve: Opens a secondary window to either specify the next approver or to approve the case folder.
Reject: Rejects a case folder.
Request for Information: Updates the case folder status and returns it to the credit analyst's work queue.
Withdraw: Withdraws a case folder that was pending approval.
Integration with Oracle Social Network (OSN), attachments, and notes are all available on case folders to assist
credit analysts with their daily tasks.
78
4. FLEXIBLE SCORING MODELS AND THIRD-PARTY INTEGRATION
You can define credit scoring models using the Manage Credit Scoring Models setup task. Scoring models are
used to calculate credit scores based on the values of the set of data points you select. The Credit Management
feature provides commonly-used data points in categories that include Aging, Billing and Payments, Business
Information and Credit, Financial Data, and References. Values of the aging and billing data points are derived
automatically based on data in Receivables Cloud. Values for other data points can be entered manually or
imported from third-party sources using Credit Data Import. Credit Data Import uses the standard file-based
data import (FBDI) technology, and provides an Excel spreadsheet for uploads.

each organization receiving statements via e-mail.
If the e-mails to customers cannot be successfully delivered, the Reply-to E-Mail address specified under
Receivables System Options will receive returned e-mails. The user who monitors that e-mail inbox can
resend the e-mails from the local e-mail client. For this reason, it is important to set up Reply-to E-Mail
correctly.
Alternatively, the user who monitors the status of scheduled processes can perform the resend. If e-mail
delivery fails for any reason, the detailed output for the process will display a failure status. Clicking the
Send icon will invoke a dialog to send the e-mails again without having to re-submit the scheduled
process Create Customer Statements. The user only needs to enter the To, Reply-to, Subject, and the e-
mail message text again.

TAX BOX ALLOCATIONS
The Tax Box Allocation feature is enhanced in Release 13 to allow annual reporting of tax and taxable
amounts grouped under tax boxes.
The Tax Box Return Preparation Report now lists taxable and tax amounts grouped by tax declaration box
numbers for periodic or annual allocations.
The R13 enhancement includes changes to the existing parameters and introducing new parameters. The
Reporting Periodicity parameter allows you to choose between periodic and annual allocations. A new
parameter Tax Calendar Year allows you to choose reporting year for annual allocation amounts. Use Tax
Calendar Year parameter to report transactions on annual basis. Use Tax Calendar Period parameter to report
transactions for a specific period.
The following table shows the combination of parameter values that are valid, other combinations will not list
data.
The report output sample:The report now supports reporting of detail, summary and both detail & summary of
tax and taxable amounts. A new parameter Summarization level has three options: Detail, Summary, Both.
STEPS TO ENABLE
You can define the Tax Box Allocation rule to be used for annual allocations or periodic allocations. The Report
Periodicity field indicates the reporting frequency for which the tax boxes will be used. The possible values are
Periodic and Annual.
For the implementations with the same set of tax boxes for periodic and annual reporting and the same rules of
their designation, you create the tax box allocation rules with the Report Periodicity either ‘Periodic allocation’ or
‘Annual allocation’. In this case the tax box allocation rules defined with the Report Periodicity ‘Annual allocation’
becomes also valid for periodic reporting and vice versa.
Customize the Tax Box Return Preparation Report BIP template to meet your tax reporting legal format.

TIPS AND CONSIDERATIONS
Seeded report formats can be modified to meet implementation-specific requirements or when local regulations

Using the new withholding tax options, VAT Withholding tax is calculated only on VAT tax amount, not on
the invoice line amount. The withholding rate is applied on the VAT tax amount at payment time, and only
for specified types of taxes.
Turnover Withholding Tax – Multilateral & Non-Multilateral (‘Retenciones de Ingresos Brutos - convenio
multilateral’)
Using the new turnover withholding tax options, adjust the taxable basis for tax payers subject to
Multilateral Agreements. Set up regime tax rules that will calculate the revenue percentage in each
province, on each transaction, and process the withholding for the supplier in the ratio of revenue subject
to each province. Establish regime rules that limit the amount and the proportion of the withholding
taxable basis amount allocated between two jurisdictions.
Using new withholding tax options, process withholding at the time of payment, including pre-payments
or multiple payments. The withholding is made on the total invoice amount and when multiple invoices
from the same vendor are paid in one payment. Track thresholds and schedules by service classification
for a document or period. When the sum of the payments is reached by withholding income tax rate
schedule, apply the correct rates. The Taxable Basis will be calculated on the total amount of each item
that is paid and the deduction of corresponding VAT.
STEPS TO ENABLE
In the Financials offering, enable Argentina in the Regional Localizations offering option.
Setup and Maintenance > Offerings > Financials > Change Configuration > Click Features > Enable
Argentina under Regional Localization.
To make withholding tax applicable on a specific transaction tax, use Manage Tax Determining Factor Sets

Choose whether the report fetches the journals in summary mode or detailed mode.
Report all the data from Subledger Accounting (SLA) or General Ledger (GL) as configured.
STEPS TO ENABLE
For defining a specific SPED accounting configuration, you must be assigned the Manage Accounting
Configuration for the Americas privilege.
For configuring SPED participant information you must be assigned the Manage Participant
Relationship for Brazil privilege.
For generating SPED extract files you must be assigned the Generate Brazilian Accounting SPED

Fiscal Documents are used in Brazil to comply with regulations of the tax authorities. They also have the
purpose of registering a transfer of ownership over a good or a commercial activity provided by a company to an
individual or to another company.
Use Fiscal Document Generation to create and manage fiscal documents for your sales invoices, internal
transfer shipments, shipments of returns to vendors and internal transfer of fixed assets. The Fiscal Document
Generation process is integrated with Receivables so that the appropriate fiscal attributes can be entered, taxes
can be calculated, and a fiscal document can be generated for sales invoices before invoices are completed.
The process is also integrated with Shipping so that fiscal attributes can be captured for shipments, and fiscal
documents can be generated and managed before internal transfer and RTV shipments are released. For fixed
asset transfers, the required transaction information is moved to Receivables, so a fiscal document can be
generated based on a non-receivable invoice.
98
Predefine time limits within which a fiscal document can be cancelled, voided or generated in
contingency mode as specified by each tax authority.
Receivables has been enhanced to support business requirements for Brazil related to bank collection and
interest calculation.
Create collection remittance files based on invoice payment terms and including instructions to banks
such as interest charges and protests after due date.
Create and print collection documents so they can be sent to your customers.
Generate updated instructions to banks for invoice changes like interest parameters, discounts and due
dates.
Import the bank return file, creating and applying the receipts automatically.
Calculate interest and late charges upon receipt considering local holiday rules.
If interest or penalty are not fully collected, automatically write-off the difference using a write-off
tolerance or generate a debit memo against the customer.
STEPS TO ENABLE
For configuring Fiscal Document Generation, users must be assigned the Financials Administration for
Brazil duty role.
For generating fiscal documents, users must be assignedthe Fiscal Document Generation duty role.
For enabling Fiscal Document Generation in the Shipments Workarea and Billing Workarea:
Enable Fiscal Document Processing for the Business Unit in Manage Localization System
Options. The Inventory Organization associated with the Business Unit will be able to generate
fiscal documents.
Define fiscal document configuration for the Business Unit in Manage Fiscal Document Generation
Controls for Receivables and Inventory Management applications.
For configuring Accounts Receivable features for Brazil, users must be assigned the Financials
Administration for Brazil role. For managing collection documents, users must be assigned the
Receivables Management for Brazil duty role.
To enable Receivables features for Brazil, enable Collection Document Processing for the Business Unit
in Manage Localization System Options. You should also define the Collection Document and Interest
configuration.
The collection document bank files are generated according to FEBRABAN standards (Brazilian Bank
Federation). Implementation of specific bank formats can be worked with implementation partners.
For Fiscal Document Generation, partners must be able to get the fiscal document information from the extract
file and communicate with tax authorities. Tax Authority return and communication issues must be notified to
Fiscal Document Generation, so they can be handled properly.
99
PROCURE TO PAY FOR BRAZIL
TAX PROCESSING FOR FISCAL DOCUMENT CAPTURE
The Fiscal Document Capture application obtains a pre-validation from the tax authority of the fiscal document
issued by a supplier, before capturing fiscal document information. Taxes applied on it are treated as the source
of truth for accounting and reporting purposes. However, during fiscal document capture and processing, taxes
are additionally calculated as per tax setup, compared with the supplier notified taxes, and a hold is placed if
their difference is beyond tolerance limits. Tolerance limits for the difference between fiscal document taxes and
calculated taxes are defined within Configuration Owner Tax Options, for the event class Fiscal Document
Capture.
In the Manage Fiscal Document page, the tax amount notified on the fiscal document is captured in the Fiscal
Document Tax Amount field and the amount calculated according to tax setup is displayed in the Calculated Tax
Amount.
If a fiscal document is received in physical format, then it is manually entered into Manage Fiscal Document
page. On invoking Calculate Tax or Validate actions, taxes are calculated as per tax setup. Both the attributes
Fiscal Document Tax Amount and Calculated Tax Amount capture the calculated value and users can review
and correct fiscal document tax amount, if required.
Irrespective of the mode of fiscal document creation, only the taxes captured into Fiscal Document Tax Amount
are processed to downstream transactions. After a fiscal document is registered and validated in the application,
corresponding inventory details (through goods receipts) and supplier liability (through Payables invoices) are
automatically created.
Taxes on receipt are handled during the receipt accounting process. This treatment is based on the setup
created within Configuration Owner Tax Options defined for the Billing Business Unit/Legal Entity.
In case of return receipts, a return shipment is created and a return fiscal document is generated against it. Tax
treatment in this case is similar to the standard approach. Taxes are handled during the receipt accounting
process and those captured on the original goods receipt are reversed.
If there is any discrepancy in the fiscal document sent by the supplier on any aspects relating to price, quantity
or tax, then a complementary fiscal document is issued by the supplier for rectifying the same. Where
complementary fiscal documents involve price or tax corrections, the tax amount notified in the fiscal document
is also taken as Calculated Tax Amount, as the transaction information would not be sufficient for invoking a tax
call.
If Fiscal Document Capture is not implemented, then you have the option to register a service fiscal document
directly for a Payables invoice by classifying various charge types, calculating taxes (as per Brazil
requirements), and capturing fiscal attributes.
In this process, associated charges on a transaction could be classified as Freight, Insurance, Packing Charges,
Miscellaneous, and Commercial discount using the attribute value Fiscal Charge Type and allocating them to
Item lines. Based on the taxable basis formula associated with a tax, charge details allocated to an item line
are included in the taxable basis formula.
In case of fiscal document capture using the Fiscal Document Capture application and interfaced to a Payables
invoice, taxes applied on the fiscal document are always carried to the invoice.
100
However, for the applicable accounting, variances are calculated based on the difference between the taxes
considered at the time of receipt.
Payables has been enhanced to support business requirements for Brazil related to supplier payments. Use the
following features to manage bank collection documents, process payments through banks, and calculate
interest and late charges according to local rules:
Update Payables invoice to Enable Collection Document Processing so installments are placed on hold
until they are applied to a collection document.
Update installments with interest and penalty calculation parameters like interest type, interest formula,
penalty type, and grace days.
Import bank collection documents into the application or enter them manually. The collection document

These are identification numbers required for companies doing business in Brazil whenever they are selling or
shipping goods, providing services, paying taxes, requesting approval for fiscal document generation, collecting
from customers or processing payments through banks, reporting taxes, and so on. ERP Cloud provides the
infrastructure to capture, maintain, and validate such information for enterprise, suppliers, customers and other
parties in the Manage Legal Entity Registrations, Manage Legal Reporting Unit Registrations, and Manage Tax
Registrations of Legal Reporting Unit Tax Profile, Third-Party Tax Profiles and Third-Party Site Tax Profiles.
CNPJ is an identification number issued to Brazilian companies by the Federal Revenue Bureau in Brazil. Also,
distinct CNPJ numbers are required for each company branch operating in a different address. The CNPJ of the
fiscal document issuer is mandatory information for tax authorities and can also be required for bank collection
and payment processing.
For first parties, CNPJ must be defined as Legal Entity and Legal Reporting Unit registrations during Manage
Legal Entity Registrations and Manage Legal Reporting Unit Registrations tasks.
For customers, suppliers and other third parties, CNPJ should be defined as Taxpayer Identifier number at
Manage Tax Registrations of Third-Party Tax Profiles and Third-Party Site Tax Profiles. This information is
validated for uniqueness, format, and check digit requirements.
CPF is the registration number for individuals maintained as Suppliers, Customers, or other third parties
involved in transaction flows. It is not maintained for Legal Entity and Legal reporting Units. CPF is assigned by
the Brazilian Federal Revenue Bureau to individual tax payers, and it is necessary to perform any legal or
commercial activity.
CPF should be defined as Taxpayer Identifier number at Manage Tax Registrations of Third-Party Tax Profiles
and Third-Party Site Tax Profiles. This information is validated for uniqueness, format, and check digit
requirements.
The State Inscription Number is a registration assigned by state fiscal authorities for ICMS tax. All companies
that are required to pay ICMS tax must be registered to have an IE registration number. Companies doing
business in more than one state should have a different IE for each state. Also, State Inscription Numbers of
first party and third parties are necessary for tax reporting and fiscal documents.
For first parties, IE should be defined as Legal Reporting Unit tax registration in Manage Tax Registrations of
Legal Reporting Unit Tax Profile. For customers, suppliers and other third parties, IE should be defined as Tax
Registration number in Manage Tax Registrations of Third-Party Tax Profiles and Third-Party Site Tax Profiles.
This information is validated for uniqueness, format, and check digit requirements.
The Municipal Inscription Number is the tax payer identification number in the Municipal Tax Register. This
registration is required for companies providing services and which are required to pay ISS tax to the city.
Companies doing business in multiple cities should have a different IM for each city. Also, Municipal Inscription
Numbers of first party and third parties are necessary for tax reporting and service fiscal documents.
For first parties, IM should be defined as Legal Reporting Unit tax registration in Manage Tax Registrations of
Legal Reporting Unit Tax Profile. For customers, suppliers and other third parties, IM should be defined as Tax
Registration number in Manage Tax Registrations of Third-Party Tax Profiles and Third-Party Site Tax Profiles.
This information is validated for uniqueness.

SUFRAMA (Super Intendencia da Zona Franca de Manaus - MANAUS FREE TRADE ZONE AGENCY)
SUFRAMA is the “Manaus free trade zone agency” responsible for managing both incoming and outgoing
goods in the area affected by the fiscal benefits. Companies in this area should register in SUFRAMA to get a
registration number. This information is required for fiscal documents related to transactions with applicable tax
benefits. The SUFRAMA registration of the ship-to party must be shown in those fiscal documents and for tax
reporting.
SUFRAMA should be defined as Taxpayer Identifier number in Manage Tax Registrations of Third-Party Tax
Profiles and Third-Party Site Tax Profiles. This information is validated for uniqueness, format, and check digit
requirements.
The tax registration validation process verifies the tax registrations and tax payer IDs for Brazil based upon the
validation rule setup. The process can also be utilized to configure additional user-defined validations.
Warning: This option will perform all necessary validations and, in case of a failure, will store the entry
and display the associated error message.
Error: This option will perform the necessary validations and, in case of a failure, the record is not saved.
STEPS TO ENABLE
To enable the CNPJ feature for Legal Entities and Legal Reporting Units:
1. Navigate to Manage Legal Jurisdictions and create a Legal Jurisdiction with Territory as Brazil, Legal
Entity Registration Code as CNPJ and Legal Reporting Unit Registration Code as CNPJ.
2. Go to Manage Legal Entities and create the legal entity with Country as Brazil and the same Identifying
Jurisdiction .
3. Based on the Legal Jurisdiction configuration, CNPJ at both Legal Entity and Legal Reporting Unit levels
are enabled as Legal Entity Registration and LRU Registration.
1. Both tax registrations are pre-defined as Tax Reporting Types for Brazil.
2. Navigate to Manage Tax Regimes, create a tax regime and assign to country Brazil. Use the same tax
regime when entering the IE and IM as Legal Reporting Unit, Third-party, and Third-party site tax
registrations.
1. Those taxpayer IDs are pre-defined as Tax Reporting Types for Brazil.
2. Navigate to Manage Party Tax Profiles and make sure the country is Brazil for Third-Party and Third-
Party Site Tax Profiles. CNPJ, CPF, and SUFRAMA are enabled based on the country of Third-Party and
Third-Party Site Tax Profiles.
103
Use the following enhanced features to ensure compliance with statutory regulations:
Certain taxes in Brazil like ICMS-ST require estimation of the final price of the product in the hands of the
end user, for evaluating the tax amount on a transaction. This estimated final price is arrived at by
applying a value addition percentage, as notified by the tax authority, on the transaction amount.You can
configure this setup through taxable basis formula.
In the taxable basis formula, if the country associated with the tax regime is Brazil, then an option is
enabled for specifying value addition information. Different value addition percentages can be configured
based on various transaction parameters like:
Priorities can be set for specifying the evaluation sequence of these transaction conditions.
Certain taxes in Brazil require application of notified thresholds on prices of items quoted on a
transaction. You can configure this setup through taxable basis formula.
In the taxable basis formula, if the country associated with the tax regime is Brazil, then an option is
enabled for specifying price threshold information. It can be configured based on various transaction
parameters like:
Priorities can be set for specifying the evaluation sequence of these transaction conditions.
Price threshold values can be defined on the basis of fixed price, or minimum or maximum
threshold options. If the fixed price option is set, then the specified price is used as item price for deriving
the taxable basis amount for the transaction line. If minimum or maximum thresholds option is used, then
the item price is compared against the given range of values and appropriate value is considered if it
goes beyond the given range.
Certain taxes in Brazil require inclusion of charges while calculating the taxable basis value of a
transaction line. You can configure this setup through taxable basis formula.
If the taxable basis type within a taxable basis formula is specified as Line amount, then you have an
option to add freight, insurance, packing charges, miscellaneous, and subtract commercial discount on
the transaction line value.
If a transaction line is categorized into any of the above charge types i.e. freight, insurance,
miscellaneous, packing charges, or commercial discount, and if the taxable basis formula of a tax is
configured to consider these values during tax calculation, then the corresponding allocated values from
these lines (to the Item lines) are added/subtracted while calculating the taxable basis value of that tax.
104
Fiscal Document Generation
Whenever goods are shipped to a customer, or services are provided in Brazil, they should be supported
by a fiscal document incorporating all the related information. The generated fiscal document is to be pre-
authorized by the tax authority, before it is sent to the customer through electronic mode (XML file) or as
a physical copy. Fiscal documents must include all applicable transaction taxes, correctly calculated
based upon the requirements of the tax authorities.
The calculation of taxes on a generated fiscal document is standard with no changes for Brazil specific
taxes.
For information on Fiscal Document Generation, refer to the Order to Cash for Brazil feature.
Tax treatment on fiscal documents received from suppliers ensures that taxes included on the documents
received are retained as source of truth, but verified and reconciled to taxes calculated using the tax
setup. When receiving a fiscal document from a supplier, the required transaction and tax determinants
are captured and maintained in order to calculate the applicable taxes.
For fiscal document capture, taxes are calculated in the following steps:
Charges, such as freight, insurance, and packing, as well as commercial discounts, are allocated
to the fiscal document lines during the fiscal document capture process.
PO schedules with same price that are associated with a single fiscal document line will use a
single PO price.
Manual override of the calculated tax amounts can be performed to ensure the amounts are
correct.
To provide comparable values that can be used to verify the tax amount received on the fiscal document:
Both the calculated amounts and user updated amounts are stored and can be viewed for a fiscal
document.
The taxes calculated by Tax, for which there is no corresponding tax on the imported fiscal
document, are added to the tax lines for the document and marked appropriately.
The taxes received on the imported fiscal documents, for which there is no corresponding tax
calculated, can be viewed on the document and marked appropriately.
During validation, a tolerance check is performed between the calculated and imported values and
verified against a configurable tolerance limit. If exceeded the fiscal document can be placed on hold.
Special processing is performed for freight fiscal documents. When a freight fiscal document is received and
matched with receipt lines associated with purchase orders, the details are sent to Payables during invoice
creation. During the tax calculation, taxes calculated on the fiscal document are pro-rated to each invoice
line. This percentage also applies during the process of filling for recoverable taxes.
105
RECOVERY PROCESSING OF PAYABLE INVOICES
When processing Payables invoices for tax recovery, taxes calculated on the source fiscal document are pro-
rated to invoice lines. If any of the taxes are for ICMS, PIS or COFINS on the freight fiscal document but not on
the corresponding goods fiscal document, the tax lines are marked for tax recovery calculation.
Special processing is performed for managing complementary fiscal documents. A complementary fiscal
document is received from a supplier when there is a price, quantity or tax amount change to a previous fiscal
document already received. In case of quantity correction, taxes calculated on the original fiscal document are
pro-rated to complementary fiscal document line based on quantity corrected. In case of price or tax corrections,
taxes from the complementary fiscal document are updated on the original fiscal document as the basis for tax
calculations, including new tax lines.
For information on Fiscal Document Capture, refer to the Procure to Pay for Brazil feature.
STEPS TO ENABLE
1. In the Financials offering, enable Brazil in the Regional Localizations offering option
Setup and Maintenance > Offerings > Financials > Change Configuration > Click Features
> Enable Brazil under Regional Localization
2. Create a Transaction Tax Regime and assign the Country as Brazil. The specific features for transaction
taxes for Brazil will be enabled in the Tax configuration.
The following withholding tax features can now be configured for Brazil:
This feature can be used for IRPF tax implementation which is an income tax for individuals and is
withheld upon payment. There are deductions allowed for suppliers by their number of dependents.
Dependents can be economically dependent persons, like children until 21 years old, or partners with no
income.
Withholding tax calculation can be on gross amount including transaction taxes, instead of being on the
total item lines amount.
This feature can be used for ISS tax calculation which is a municipal tax payable on services performed
by companies or individuals. ISS is an inclusive transaction tax but depending on the type of service, city
where the service was provided, city of the supplier, and supplier registration status, this tax can be
withheld by customer.
106
The withholding solution is also extended to Receivables to comply with tax authority requirements for Fiscal
Documents. You are now able to:
Calculate withholding taxes on Receivables Invoices prior to generation of the Fiscal Document, as these
taxes need to be reported on the Fiscal Document that is generated and sent to the Tax Authority for
approval.
Re-calculate the withholding taxes while the corresponding fiscal document is not yet sent to the Tax
Authority or not in correction mode.
Review the calculated withholding amounts on Receivables Transactions. Both invoicing-time and receipt-
time withholding calculation amounts are displayed.
Correct receipt-time withholding taxes in case of differences between the actual withholding tax amounts
and calculated taxes.

KOREA
Use the specific reporting extracts available in this release to address statutory VAT reporting required
for Korea:
Use the following reports used for statutory and internal audit purposes:
113
These reports provide output in paper format for summary of invoices by customers and suppliers. The report
shows the summary for electronic invoices and itemization of non-electronic invoices.
These reports have the paper summary report of (zero-tax) invoice by customer and supplier. All the invoices
with Zero Tax (exempted) will be displayed. The reports provide a consolidated value of invoices for each
supplier and customer.
For companies filing electronically, the Korea Tax Authority requires a plain text file providing the same detail
information in the Tax Invoice Summary by Customer and Tax Invoice Summary by Supplier reports. The non
electronic invoices are itemized (party-wise) in the report output, and consolidated data (with totals of invoice
values of all such transactions) is shown for electronic invoices. The details of industry classification and
subclassification for the filing organization and customer and supplier are also included in the plain text formats.
This report supports the summary billing requirement. Based on the business process, companies are required
to print and send an AR tax invoice to their customers for all output VAT transactions. When the customer has
requested Summary Billing, they can request for several Receivables invoices to be combined into a single AR
Tax Invoice to be printed in the specific invoice layout format. The report is used to generate the tax invoice for
Summary Billing cases. This is done at the end of the month. The summary of all supplies along with invoice
value and tax value is listed.
Set the Reporting Level parameter to Summary. To reprint an AR Tax Invoice that has already been generated,
enter the Tax Invoice Number, and set the Reprint parameter flag to Y so that the exact information from the
previous print will be reproduced. Select N to indicate adjustments to the parameters.
These reports support legacy data or external transactions, imported as tax journals or tax transactions from
legacy systems. The transactions imported via taxable transaction spreadsheets or the Tax Entry Repository
Data Upload spreadsheet are reported for these reports.

WITHHOLDING TAX PROCESSING AND REPORTING FOR KOREA
Comply with tax requirements for Korea using enhancements to report withholding taxes on supplier invoices
and payments. You can now process the applicable withholding under the tax law in Korea. The reporting
content provides support for reporting extracts and tapes for applicable Korean withholding categories, that
is: General Withholding, Business Withholding, and surcharge reporting in the form of Resident Withholding.
GENERIC REPORTS
Withholding Tax List Summary: Prints details for each payment to suppliers, for which the withholding tax
is applicable. This report is not a statutory report from the tax authority, and is used for review and check
purposes.
Resident Business Income Withholding Form for Korea: Prints details of each payment to suppliers,
