FINANCIALS

ADVANCED COLLECTIONS

EXCLUDE INTERNAL INVOICES FROM COLLECTION ACTIVITIES

Mark as internal Receivables invoice installments that you want to exclude from collections scoring, strategy
assignment, and dunning.

2
SKIP OR CANCEL COLLECTIONS STRATEGY TASKS USING A REST SERVICE
Skip or cancel strategy tasks using the enhanced Collections Strategies REST service.

ASSETS

CALCULATE MONTHLY LEASE INTEREST FOR NONMONTHLY ASSET LEASE PAYMENTS


Calculate monthly accrued interest for leases with quarterly, semi-annual, or annual frequency. The
application calculates the present value based on the lease payment frequency, and then allocates the
calculated interest evenly to each month.

BILL MANAGEMENT

REVIEW BALANCE FORWARD BILL DETAILS USING BILL MANAGEMENT


Use Bill Management to view opening balance, payments, current charges, and credits and adjustments on
balance forward bills.

CASH MANAGEMENT

RECONCILE JOURNAL LINES FOR MULTIPLE CASH ACCOUNT COMBINATIONS


Reconcile journal lines of multiple cash account combinations matching the same natural account and other
specified segment values. Previously, only journal lines created for the complete cash account combination
were available for reconciliation.

The Cash to General Ledger Reconciliation Report is also enhanced to display journal lines and closing
balances of such cash account combinations.

GENERAL LEDGER

CONFIGURABLE JOURNAL WORKFLOW NOTIFICATIONS


Use enhanced workflow notifications for journal approval. You can use Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher
templates to generate email and in-application notifications. Modify templates to meet business
requirements and policies.

3
PREVENT GENERAL LEDGER PERIOD CLOSURE WHEN OPEN SUBLEDGER PERIODS EXIST
Prevent the closure of a General Ledger accounting period if the accounting period for any of the
corresponding subledgers is still open, or if incomplete accounting entries or transactions exist for the
period.  This ensures an effective period close process by validating all transactions are complete and aren't
held up during the close.

PAYABLES

RECEIVE AND PROCESS ELECTRONIC INVOICES COMPLIANT WITH THE EUROPEAN STANDARD
EN 16931
Receive and process electronic invoices compliant with the European electronic invoicing standard EN 16931
using UBL 2.1 XML format. A message definition for EN 16931 is available in the Collaboration Messaging
Framework.

PAYMENTS

CAPABILITY TO VIEW UP TO SIX DIGITS OF THE BANK ACCOUNT NUMBER


Enables you to view the last six digits of the external bank account number. Currently you can view only the
last four digits. You need to change the masking settings in the Manage System Security Options to achieve
this.

REEVALUATE ROUTING RULES DURING RECEIPT REMITTANCE


Reevaluate routing rules for direct debit transactions during receipt remittance. Receipts can be routed using
different routing rules if the remittance bank account on the receipt has been changed by user during
remittance.

USE TWO-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION FOR INBOUND FILE TRANSMISSION


Secure inbound transmission of acknowledgment file and bank statement using two-factor authentication.
You can configure authentication based on a security key in addition to user credentials in the transmission
configuration setup.

RECEIVABLES

CONFIGURABLE CREDIT MEMO REQUEST APPROVAL WORKFLOW NOTIFICATIONS


Use enhanced workflow notifications for credit memo request approval. You can use Oracle Business
Intelligence Publisher templates to generate email and in-application notifications. Modify templates to meet
business requirements and policies.

4
DELAY CREATION OF CREDIT MEMO UNTIL REBILL IS PROCESSED
Configure credit memo approval workflow to delay the creation of a credit memo until the rebill is processed.

DISALLOW FUTURE DATED INVOICES CREATED MANUALLY WHEN CHRONOLOGICAL


DOCUMENT SEQUENCE ENABLED
Disallow creation of invoices manually with future transaction and accounting dates when chronological
document sequencing is enabled on the ledger.

OVERRIDE DEFAULT SCORING MODELS ON CREDIT CASE FOLDERS


Change the default scoring model during credit review according to the requirements of your enterprise and
the customer. Case folder templates with scoring models are assigned based on credit classification and
review type.Changing the scoring model updates the credit score associated with the review.

RECOGNIZE SCHEDULED IN-ARREARS REVENUE AFTER PAYMENT IS RECEIVED


Recognize revenue on transactions that use the In Arrears invoicing rule after you receive payment. The In
Arrears rule normally recognizes revenue based on the predetermined revenue recognition schedule. You
can assign the transaction or transaction line a payment-based revenue contingency to temporarily defer
revenue recognition until payment is received.

REVENUE MANAGEMENT

ALLOCATE REVENUE TO PROMISED DETAILS BASED ON EXTENDED STANDALONE SELLING


PRICES
Select the extended standalone selling price amount to allocate revenue within a performance obligation
using the new Performance Obligation template attribute, Allocation Basis. Control how performance
obligation revenue is distributed and recognized across the individual lines of the performance obligation.

TAX

TROUBLESHOOT MISSING TAXES ON TRANSACTIONS USING THE ENHANCED TAX SIMULATOR


Improve tax compliance by using the enhanced Tax Simulator to analyze why a particular tax was not
automatically calculated. Accurately identify the tax configuration errors and apply the corrective fix.

USE DEFAULT VALUES WHEN TAX CALCULATION FINDS INCONSISTENT TAX CONFIGURATION
Minimize run-time errors during transaction processing by allowing the tax engine to use predefined default
values for tax status, tax rate, and other tax line attributes when the process encounters an inconsistent tax
configuration. This helps improve auditability and allows tax specialists to correct the tax configuration.

5
VIEW THIRD-PARTY DETAILS OF IMPORTED EXTERNAL TRANSACTIONS
View third-party details of external transactions on the Review Subledger Journals page after you import
them using the Tax Entry Repository Data Upload process.
