Oracle Retail Invoice Matching Cloud Service

Release Notes
Release 19.2.011
F52894-01
February 2022

This document highlights the major changes for Release 2022, of Oracle Retail Invoice Matching Cloud Service.

Overview
Oracle Retail Invoice Matching Cloud Service supports the verification of merchandise invoice costs, quantities
and taxes prior to payment. ReIM receives invoice data through Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), an
Induction process, or from invoices manually entered through a group or single invoice entry facility. Invoice
records are verified against associated purchase orders and receipts in an automated matching process.
If invoices are matched to receipts within retailer defined tolerance at a summary, parent, or item level, they
are evaluated for best payment terms and posted to a staging table. The staging table is interfaced with the
retailer's accounts payable system, where payments are processed and corresponding accounting entries are
posted.
If invoices and receipts are not matched after a specified period of time, the auto-matching process flags the
invoice with cost or quantity discrepancies. Users can then begin a manual identification of summary and
detail-level matches or individually resolve item-level discrepancies. Discrepancies are resolved by applying
reason codes based on a set of defined actions (for example, charge-back supplier) that determine the
disposition of the discrepancies.

Corrected the Use of the Maintain Supplier Options Privilege

Previously, the create and edit of the Supplier Options were disabled even when the required privilege
‘Maintain Supplier Options Priv’ was assigned. This has been corrected so that the mentioned privilege allows
the creation and modification of the Supplier Options.

Corrected Exchange Rate Calculated While Posting Non-Merchandise Invoices

Previously, posting was calculating the wrong currency exchange rate for non-merchandise invoices. This has
been corrected in this update.

Corrected Receipt Available Quantity and Cost Calculation on Summary Match Screen
Corrected the calculation for the receipt available quantity and available cost on the Summary Match screen.
The available quantity and available cost calculation for the receipt was incorrectly calculated when multiple
cartons were received for an item if some of the cartons had been already matched. This calculation was
corrected.

2
Corrected Total Cost in Local Currency in Dashboard
Previously the total cost displayed in the dashboard reports was incorrect when viewed in the local currency.
This has been corrected in this update.

Credit Note Matching - Summary Match Option Not Working

When attempting to summary match credit note and credit note request created from an RTV, an application
error was being raised. This has been corrected in this update.

Disable Prepay Document Option when No Document Selected

In the Document maintenance screen, after performing a search with criteria, the results tab is populated with
documents list. The menu option ‘Prepay Document’ should be disabled as long as no eligible documents are
selected. This update addresses the enable/disable issue of this menu option.

Disable Void Action for Submitted Documents

Previously the Void action was enabled for documents in Submitted and Void status. With this update, this
option for documents in Submitted and Void status has been disabled.

Document Creation Process does not Enforce Negative Value On Credit Note
While creating a credit note document, a positive value is allowed on the header screen and on the details
screen. The system enforces to enter the negative values for amount. In order to successfully approve the
document, the user has to update the header value for amount to negative. This update addresses the
validation issue on the header screen to enforce a negative value when the document is entered.

Document Creation Process Unique Document Number

Previously the system allowed documents to be created with a duplicate external document number (EXT_
DOC_ID) for a same vendor and type of document, for certain document types such as a debit memo. This has
been corrected in this update.

Document Maintenance Search Select All

A checkbox was incorrectly added to the row header and has been removed with this update. Multi-row select
is already possible by highlighting multiple rows using the ctrl+left click and shift+left click features. The
standard 'Select All' feature which is clicking on the box to the left of the labels correctly works to select all rows
without the header level checkbox.

Duplicate Document Number Handling in EDI File

When attempting to upload an EDI file containing duplicate data (same document number used twice in the
file) an error was raised and neither document was processed. With this update the first record in the file will be
processed successfully and subsequent record(s) will be flagged as duplicates.

Enable Multiple Debit Memos to be Uploaded Using Induction

Users were unable to upload multiple debit memo documents using Induction Upload due to an issue. This
issue has been resolved in this update.

3
Financial Manager Dashboard - Export to Excel
The Export to Excel option was missing from the Financial Manager Dashboard. This has been corrected in this
update.

Modified Add Items Screen to Leave Tax Codes Empty when VAT Regions are Different
Modified the Add Items screen to leave tax codes empty when supplier and location are in different Vat
Regions.

Negative Value Enforced at Header Level for Credit Note

Credit Notes are always negative documents. Fixed the header level validation to require the merchandise
amount on Credit Notes to be negative.

Purge Job Performance Improvements

Performance improvements have been made to the purge batch job (REIM_PURGE_JOB).

Resolved Issue with Reason Code Rollup Batch to Handle PO with Multiple Locations
Resolved an issue with Reason Code Rollup batch which allows the batch to handle PO with multiple
locations.

Sorting on Group Column in Document Search

The Group Column in the Document Search Screen did not have sorting feature. This capability has been
added in this update.

Summary Match Error when Accessing Detail Match

Previously, while trying to manually match an invoice, if the user attempts to access the detail match screen,
the application was raising an error due to a database constraint violation. This issue has been resolved in this
update.

Tax Code Defaulting when Supplier and Location VAT Regions Differ
The defaulting of items from a PO or Receipt was enhanced to skip generating tax codes when VAT regions
differ between the supplier and location.

Tax Review List Menu Option Access

Prior to this update, the Tax Review List menu option was not visible for users having the SEARCH_TAX_
DISCREPANCY_LIST_PRIV. This has been corrected so that users associated to this privilege have access to the
menu option.

Tax when Creating a Negative Non-Merchandise Invoice

An update has been made to allow users to create Non-Merchandise Invoices with a negative amount. The tax
basis when entered as a negative amount was converted to positive amount. This has been corrected in this
update to allow a negative tax basis.
