Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document Purpose of Document 1
2. Introduction
2.1. Purpose of Document

Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document Purpose of Document 2
3. New and Changed Features in Financials
3.1. Oracle Advanced Collections

Release 12.1.1
3.1.1.1. Customer Dispute Enhancement
Collectors require the ability to record comments while researching transactions and
interacting with customers during the dispute process. A new Internal Comment field is
available on all screens used to submit and manage disputes. This field streamlines the
dispute submission and approval process by allowing collectors to enter and share
comments to internal users such as receivables specialists.
3.1.1.2. Customer Level Bankruptcy
During various stages of a customer’s bankruptcy process their outstanding business
transactions require specialized handling. In prior releases of Advance Collections,
individual transactions had to be marked with a Bankruptcy status. Collections agents
can now assign Bankruptcy status at the customer level, ensuring that all transactions in
all accounts and bill to sites are status and managed uniformly.
This feature has also been back-ported to 12.0 via the standalone patch:
8522751:R12.IEX.A.
3.1.1.3. Status Assignment at Case and Contract Level

Collectors can now better manage their leasing delinquencies by assigning delinquency
levels including the lease contract, the lease case, or specific transactions.
Release 12.1.2
3.1.1.4. Multiple Level Collections Strategy Management
In prior releases, collections strategies could only be executed at one business (party,
account, bill to site) at a time. Enterprises require the ability to execute strategies
simultaneously at different levels for different customers and operating units, for
example, in one region - at Bill to level, in another region – at Account level. This new
feature allows managers to setup and execute strategies at multiple collection business
levels while allowing collections agents to change specific customer strategies to
different business levels as required.
Collections managers are now able to plan and manage collections strategies that support
their unique business requirements where strategies must be executed at different
operating units, groups of customers or specific customers. Collections agents can view
strategies at different levels on their work queue and on the strategy tab. Delinquent
customers are managed at the business level most appropriate to their business model.
Additionally, background processes including collections and strategy management can
now be executed at different levels concurrently.
Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document Oracle Advanced Collections 3
Release 12.1.3
3.1.1.5. Staged Dunning
In addition to the Aged Dunning method that is based on a customer’s oldest aged
invoice, Collections organizations may now use Staged Dunning method. The Staged
Dunning method ensures the dunning notices set to a customer automatically incremented
based on the collection score and pre-defined number of days between letters being sent.
Release 12.2.3
3.1.1.6. Ability to place a hold on Collection Strategy
Collectors require the ability to place a collection strategy on hold or release it from a
hold depending on the customer’s delinquency status and the effectiveness of the strategy
used.
Collectors now have the ability to place and release holds on individual collection
strategies using the user interface or place/release collection strategy holds for individual
or all Operating Units using the Put Strategy on Hold/Release concurrent program.
Release 12.2.4
3.1.1.7. Auto Reassignment of Work Items upon change in Collector
Simplify reassignment of collector work items due to workforce changes or territory
reassignment with the Auto Reassignment of Work Item upon change in Collector
feature.
Customers now have the ability to automatically reassign work items including
Collection Strategies and Promises to pay upon a change in collector by using the new
Synchronize Collector Work concurrent program.
This feature has also been back-ported to 12.1.3 via the standalone patch:
17043270:R12.IEX.B.
3.1.1.8. Metrics by Operating Unit
Improve your organization’s insight on performance by comparing and quantifying
collectivity within and across a single or multiple Operating Units using the new Metrics
by Operating Unit option. This new option provides users the ability to view collection
metrics for a single or multiple operating units in addition to the current Global level.
17043270:R12.IEX.B.
Release 12.2.6
3.1.1.9. Collect on Related Accounts
Customers require the ability to assign collectors at multiple collection levels, enabling
them to run scoring and strategies at Customer, Account, and Bill- To levels.
Customers now group parties with parent and child relationships to score, assign and
manage strategies, assign collectors, and view aggregate information on related accounts.
3.1.1.10. Strategy Actionable Work Items
Strategy Actionable Work Item template rules are now available to allow users to execute
work items based on the percentage amount collected. When the user or system
Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document Oracle Advanced Collections 4
completes the work item, post-wait, based on the amount received and associated rule
definition the system will skip or continue the next work item in the strategy.
Additionally, Strategy Templates and Work Item Templates can be defined for a specific
Operating Unit.
3.2. Oracle Advanced Global Intercompany System (AGIS)

Release 12.1.2
3.2.1.1. Purge Rejected Intercompany Batches from Interface Table
Oracle AGIS introduces a new Purge Rejected Intercompany Transactions Program to
purge rejected intercompany transaction batches from intercompany interface tables.
Oracle AGIS validates intercompany transaction batches imported from external source
applications. Batches that pass validation become intercompany transactions in AGIS.
Batches that fail validation are retained in the intercompany interface table with a
Rejected status. These rejected intercompany transactions occupy space in the database
and can lead to detrimental impact on system performance. Users can use the new
concurrent program to preview and purge the rejected intercompany transactions.
3.3. Oracle Assets

Release 12.1.3
3.3.1.1. Asset Impairment for Japan Tax Reform 2007
As defined by previous regulatory initiatives in Japan and the Japan Tax Reform of 2007,
the impairment functionality in Oracle Assets has been extended to perform and account
for asset impairments in compliance with Japanese accounting regulations. Impairment
losses can now be derived and recorded for Japan-specific depreciation methods.
The following impairment feature functionality is now available for Japan depreciation
methods.
• Japan specific impairment loss calculations
• Assignment and impairment of assets within Cash Generating Units
• Impairment of fully reserve and non-depreciating assets
• Impairment of assets exceeding depreciation limits.
Release 12.2.8
3.3.1.2. New Depreciation and Amortization BI Publisher Report to Support Form 4562
Filing to US IRS
The new BI Publisher Report replaces the existing Oracle Reports Depreciation and
Amortization BI Publisher Report to Support Form 4562 Filing to US IRS. The new
report provides both summary and detailed report formats with new grouping of data and
additional information which makes Form 4562 filing easier. Furthermore, as it is a BI
Publisher report, the output is available in pdf, excel, rtf, html, and xml.
The summary report groups data by asset book, balancing segment value, fiscal year,
useful life in years, and depreciation method. It displays balances for cost, cost basis,
depreciation deduction, YTD depreciation, and annual special depreciation. The summary
report format report enables you to more readily fill in Form 4562.
Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document Oracle Advanced Global Intercompany System (AGIS) 5
The detailed report provides a detailed breakdown at an asset by asset level to support the
summary report. It displays asset level information (Asset Number, Asset Description,
Date Placed in Service), along with other financial attributes similar to the summary
report, at each asset category, prorate convention, depreciation method, useful life in
years, fiscal year, and balancing segment level.

3.9. Oracle Environmental Accounting & Reporting

Release 12.1.3
3.9.1.1. Capture of Energy Usage and Environmental Data
Oracle Environmental Accounting and Reporting (EA&R) integrates with Oracle
Accounts Payables and Oracle Inventory Management enabling customers to perform
environmental accounting for various transactions, enabling the capture of the energy
usage, fuel usage and other environmental data through AP invoices, Inventory issues,
Environmental Ledger and Web ADI. Using the usage information captured during
transactions or entered manually, EA&R calculates the related greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions through the application of energy and emission factors. This approach presents
users with a familiar and consistent experience maintaining data integrity and security
with a single source of truth and ensuring data completeness and accuracy. Integration
with the native ERP system reduces environmental data management costs, leveraging
existing IT systems, minimizing organizational impacts and assuring rapid time to value.
3.9.1.2. Emission Sources, Scopes and Factors
An emission factor is the quantity of a greenhouse gas emitted per unit of energy (kg
CO2-e /GJ), fuel (kg CO2-e/t coal) or a similar measure. The EA&R application provides
the ability to define, change and update emission sources and factors, automatically
determining the correct transformation factors for each transaction. It also enables users
to select location specific energy and emission factors for environmental accounting of
transactions that are related to emission sources. It also enables setup of custom emission
factors. Emission transformation factors are stored and can readily be updated over time
with date effectiveness to manage the change of emissions factors and for recalculation
purposes.
Emission calculation techniques range from usage of emission factors to direct
monitoring. The most common techniques used for emission calculation are:
• Calculations based on the purchased quantities of commercial fuels, such as
natural gas and heating oil, using published emission factors. This method is used
for Scope 1 emissions.
• Calculations based on metered electricity consumption and supplier-specific,
local grid, or other published emission factors. This method is used for Scope 2
emissions.
• Calculations based on activity data such as fuel use or passenger miles and
published or third-party emission factors. This type of emissions is usually
classified as Scope 3 emissions.
Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document Oracle Environmental Accounting & Reporting 12
Oracle Environmental Accounting and Reporting allows you to update historical factors
using the GHG Sources window and provides the “Recalculate Emissions” concurrent
program to recalculate the emission and energy values based on the revised factors.
The solution enables complete audit trail for entries and updates reducing data assurance
costs.
3.9.1.3. Calculation and Classification of Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Oracle Environmental Accounting and Reporting provides the built-in mechanisms for
calculating emissions and classifying them as Scope 1, 2, or 3 using the Greenhouse Gas
Protocol guidelines published by the World Resources Institute. The Emissions
Calculation Engine uses the collected usage data to calculate the relevant emissions using
seeded formulas based on the energy and emission factors setup for the emission sources.
This enables organization to accurately communicate greenhouse gas emissions and other
environmental impacts to constituents including regulators, customers, shareholders and
employees.
3.9.1.4. Environmental Ledger
The Environmental Ledger stores all changes to the environmental transactions including
voiding, reversal, recalculation, and measurement criterion updating transactions. The
changing landscape of compliance mandates drives companies to provide more
comprehensive, transparent, accurate and auditable data. Oracle Environmental
Accounting and Reporting allows you to have a single source of truth assuring data
quality and auditability.
3.9.1.5. Flexible Reporting and Organizational Structures
Oracle Environmental Accounting and Reporting enables the creation of Environmental
Organizations. An organization is defined as a single undertaking or an enterprise or any
entity that performs activities or a series of activities that emit greenhouse gases and/or
produces, or consumes energy at a single site and is attributable to a single industry
sector. An organization can have multiple hierarchies for reporting, for example,
government reporting hierarchy, operational hierarchy, or legal structure hierarchy. In
addition, an organization can be a division, company subsidiary, or operation (i.e.
facilities, plants). The integration with the native ERP enables leveraging existing
structures as well as specifying additional hierarchies for GHG Protocol and other
reporting guidelines, including the ability to define aggregation levels and to manage
acquisitions and divestitures.
3.9.1.6. Pre-Built Analytics and Dashboard with Dynamic User Interaction
Pre-built Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE) dashboards enable the
dynamic generation of reports providing insight into an organization’s emissions and
other environmental impacts. The dashboards provide information on energy usage,
emissions, key performance indicators (KPIs), activities and transactions. Users can view
graphical representations of the data; drill down into output of past, current, and projected
data; analyze historical trends; define variance thresholds and receive alerts; and publish
and distribute reports in multiple formats. The pre-built OBIEE reporting and analytics
dashboards also include the quantitative responses to the Carbon Disclosure Project
(CDP). OBIEE’s powerful and flexible framework allows for the quick creation of
reports for reporting schemes such as Climate Registry (USA), EPA 40 CFR Part 98 Rule
(USA), Carbon Reduction Commitment (UK), and National Greenhouse and Energy
Reporting Act (Australia). Measuring performance and setting targets allows
organizations to become more productive, profitable and sustainable by providing
powerful insights into high opportunity areas for emissions reductions, energy savings,
and cost savings. In addition, OBIEE allows users to quickly create custom user defined
reports.
3.9.1.7. User-Defined Key Performance Indicators
Oracle Environmental Accounting and Reporting enables organizations to create and
modify standard and custom industry-specific key performance indicators (KPIs) to
measure performance and monitor key environmental metrics such as energy, waste, and
water. Users can normalize data to operational metrics and use a drag-and-drop
environment in OBIEE to create custom reports. Examples of these KPIs are energy
usage per square foot, water usage by employee, etc. Using these metrics organizations
can benchmark and affect behavioral change to reduce environmental impacts in the
relative context of the organization’s growth.
3.9.1.8. Target and Threshold Definition
Oracle Environmental Accounting and Reporting enables organizations to establish a
baseline of its greenhouse gas emissions, energy usage, and other key environmental
indicators and set reductions targets. Graphical indicators on the Business Intelligence
dashboards illustrate to users on a timely basis whether the organization is performing
above, below, or in-line with the targets so that corrective actions can be taken as needed
to successfully execute on the organization’s sustainability initiatives.
3.9.1.9. Using Web ADI to Import Setup Data
Users are able to leverage the Web ADI framework in Oracle E-Business Suite to import
setup data into the Environmental Accounting & Reporting application. Data that can be
imported using this interface includes Sources, KPI Definitions, Targets, and
Organizations.
Release 12.2
3.9.1.10. Updated Carbon Disclosure Project Report
One of the pre-built OBIEE reporting and analytics dashboards supported in EA&R
covers the quantitative responses to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). The Carbon
Disclosure Project report has been enhanced to support additional questions under the
2011 guidelines. The dashboard can now display: emissions in metric tons, emission
factors applied for GHG calculations and their origin; breakdown of Scope 1 and Scope 2
emissions by activity; amount of fuel, electricity, heat, steam, and cooling in MWh
consumed by an organization during the reporting year; breakdown of fuel usage by fuel
type; year by year comparison of combined Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions; year by year
comparison of Scope 3 emissions by source; and gross combined Scope 1 and 2
emissions for the reporting year in metric tons CO2e per full time equivalent (FTE)
employee.
3.9.1.11. Enhanced Performance Dashboards
Pre-built Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE) dashboards enable the
dynamic generation of reports providing insight into an organization’s emissions and
other environmental impacts. The dashboards provide information on energy usage,
emissions, key performance indicators (KPIs), activities and transactions. Users can view
graphical representations of the data; drill down into output of past, current, and projected
data; analyze historical trends; define variance thresholds and receive alerts; and publish
and distribute reports in multiple formats. In this release additional pre-built reports have
been added including the Scope 3 Emissions and Emissions by Organization Level
dashboards.
3.9.1.12. Enhanced Key Performance Indicators
Oracle Environmental Accounting and Reporting enables organizations to create and
modify standard and custom industry-specific key performance indicators (KPIs) to
measure performance and monitor key environmental metrics such as energy, waste, and
water. Users can normalize data to operational metrics and use a drag-and-drop
environment in OBIEE to create custom reports. In the 12.2 release it is now possible to
set a threshold in the KPI Metrics history page highlighting to users whether the
organization is performing above, below or in-line with the targets so that corrective
actions can be taken as needed to successfully execute on the organization’s sustainability
initiatives.
Release 12.2.3
3.9.1.13. Water and Waste Dashboards
EA&R is being enhanced to provide a new set of out-of-the-box dashboards to
accommodate new requirements for reporting based on legislation and competitive
pressure. These new requirements include the addition of a Water and Waste Dashboard
reports including Water Consumption, Water Recycled/Reused by Period, and Total
Solid Waste produced by period, Solid Waste Recovered and Recycled by Period, Solid
Waste to Landfill by Period.
3.9.1.14. Carbon Permit Management
Emissions trading or cap-and-trade is a market-based approach used to control pollution
by providing economic incentives for achieving reductions in the emissions of pollutants.
Governments set a limit or cap on the amount of a pollutant that may be emitted. The
limit or cap is allocated or sold to firms in the form of emissions permits which represent
the right to emit or discharge a specific volume of the specified pollutant. Firms are
required to hold a number of permits (or carbon credits) equivalent to their emissions.
Typically, in carbon tax and emission trading schemes, significant penalties apply for not
surrendering the correct amount of permits by the compliance date. Companies need to
establish processes to actively manage trading of permits, such as funding purchases
when needed and understanding which permits can be used to meet their liabilities.
Oracle Environmental Accounting and Reporting (EA&R) helps these companies
calculate the correct number of carbon permits required for the specified reporting period.
The new Carbon Permit Management report tracks emission data by region / legislation
to show the number of carbon permits which must be surrendered to be complaint.
Release 12.2.4
3.9.1.15. Integration with Oracle Property Manager
This release provides a new integration which brings the organizational hierarchy defined
in Oracle Property Manager into Oracle Environmental Accounting & Reporting. Data
entities for Region, Property, Building, Floor, and Office are imported from Oracle
Property Manager along with their implicit hierarchy to create a new default hierarchy in
the Environmental Accounting & Reporting module. This hierarchy is called the ‘GHG
Property Manager Organization Hierarchy’ and has six levels, namely:
Level Number Entity Type
1 Company Name
2 Region
3 Property
4 Building
5 Floor
6 Office
The information brought across from Property Manager for these entities includes any
associated tenure, disposition, area, and headcount data and are displayed in the ‘Property
Details’ tab for each Environmental Organization. These property details are
synchronized over time to capture any ongoing changes that are made in Property
Manager.
A new setup feature called 'Property Types' maintains a mapping between the Property
Types in Property Manager and the Organization Types maintained in Environmental
Accounting & Reporting.
For organizations that do not use Oracle Property Manager the property details can be
entered directly in Environmental Accounting & Reporting for each Environmental
Organization.
3.9.1.16. Source and Item Unit of Measure Conversion
This feature enables users to set up an additional unit of measure conversion specific to
an Environmental Source or Item. For example:
• Grease is typically purchased in kilograms but for the purposes of calculating
emissions the rates provided consider grease as a liquid and thus require a
volumetric unit.
• Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) can be purchased by cylinder size or cylinder
weight but the energy content factors are based on volumetric units such as
kiloliters or gallons.
• In most cases purchased electricity does not have an associated Item in the source
transactions (i.e. electricity is purchased in kWh) but there may be some cases
where electricity is purchased based on the use of an Item (e.g. the number of
gallons of diesel oil required to power a generator) requiring an additional
conversion.
This release enables the users to setup conversions specific to either Environmental
Sources or Items to address scenarios such as the ones described above. This UOM
conversion capability is above and beyond the standard unit of measure conversion
previously supported by the application.
The Source UOM conversion assumes higher precedence over the standard UOM
conversion in selecting the conversion factors at the time of emission calculation. For
conversions where there is a related Item the source UOM conversion assumes the higher
precedence over both the standard and Item UOM conversion when the emissions are
calculated.
3.9.1.17. Organizations Targets for Emission, Energy and Usage
Users now have the ability to set performance targets at the organizational level for
Energy, Emissions, and Usage for specific periods thus enabling organizations to drive
performance improvements on an ongoing basis. A new dashboard enables ongoing
visual comparison of the actual performance of the organization versus the targets that
have been set.
3.9.1.18. Enhanced Energy Dashboard
The existing energy dashboard has been enhanced to include four additional tabs,
namely: Summary, Energy by Scope, Energy by Source, and Energy by Organization
Type. The existing tab has been renamed to Energy by Organization.
The Summary tab now displays two reports: (i) Energy History displaying a graphical
representation of the history of the energy consumed by the organization and (ii) Energy
by Year showing the energy consumed by an organization for a specific period.
The Energy by Scope dashboard displays a graphical representation of the energy usage
of an organization by Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 as per the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.
The Energy by Source page displays a graphical and tabular representation of the energy
consumed by the organization for each of the environmental sources.
The Energy by Organization Type dashboard presents reports showing the energy usage
broken down by the organizational levels based on the Organization Type.

required to be imported ´as they are´ into Oracle Financials and reported along with the
Oracle generated invoices.
Oracle Financials for Portugal has been updated to comply with this legislative
requirement.
The update provides the following:
• Ability to import and store externally signed invoices (including the e-Signature
and related elements)
• Ability to import and store a link to the Original Transaction in the Legacy
System
• Enable Flow Validations for Imported and Signed Invoices (e.g. prevent
transactions to be in-completed and/or updated).

3.23. Oracle Loans

Release 12.1.2
3.23.1.1. Process Application Fees without Loan Approval
Loan application fee is a fee charged to process an application for a loan, such as a home
mortgage from a lender or mortgage broker. Loan application fees are charged to cover
some of the costs involved in processing the application including credit checks, property
appraisals and basic administrative costs. Such fees are often non-refundable regardless
of the outcome of the application review and are charged upfront.
Previously, in order for any loan fee to be processed, the loan application had to be
approved. This new feature allows processing and accounting for loan fees before the
loan gets approved or rejected.
The fees now can be charged manually on an ad hoc basis or automatically based on a
certain event in the loan application lifecycle (loan origination, loan activation, loan
submission for approval).
3.23.1.2. Ad-hoc Billing and Receipt Application
Borrowers receive their loan repayment bills when an automated process determines that
the next installment is due. This new feature allows users to manually select the next
installment and create a customer bill on an ad hoc basis. Users now also have an option
to create a loan without a schedule of installments and bill customers manually on an ad
hoc basis.
In addition, the process of applying customer payments to loans has been streamlined by
providing users an option to perform receipt application within the loan transaction
context, without the need to switch to Receivables.
Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document Oracle Legal Entity Configurator 36

The Loan Forgiveness feature allows users to create and manage loan forgiveness option
loan programs. By populating a Receivables Activity in the new system option Loan
Forgiveness Adjustment: Activity Name, loan forgiveness is enabled or disabled for the
loan products within the organization.
Loan forgiveness is applied at the individual loan level as a percentage of the loan
installment amount and can be modified throughout the loan’s duration. Loan
forgiveness details are visible for each individual loan via the Servicing Center:
Overview: Summary window. During billing, the forgiven amount is displayed and
accounted for as an adjustment on the customer invoice.
Release 12.1.3
3.23.1.4. Multiple Disbursements during Loan Servicing
In prior releases, direct loans could only be adjusted using multiple disbursements with
disbursement amount, percentage and a specific target date freeze before the approval,
activation or funding of the loan. Now, loan managers can perform adjustments to the
loan amount in active and multiple disbursements of the loan after the loan is activated,
funded or in the servicing stage.
Additionally, for Extended Repayment Schedule (ERS) loans, loan managers can now
add and convert additional receivables transactions to existing loans in the servicing
stage. Managers can also modify the outstanding amount of receivables or adjust the
receivables amount based on the payment terms.
Release 12.2.3
3.23.1.5. Support Changes in Repayment Frequency of Principal and Interest
For loans with standard amortization schedules, users now have the ability to change the
loan repayment frequency during loan servicing. Users can switch a single frequency
repayment schedule to a multiple payment frequency schedule by simply defining the
new payment schedule’s Payment Start Date and Payment Frequency.
This feature has also been back-ported to 12.1 via the standalone patches:

3.24. Oracle Payables
Release 12.1.1
3.24.1.1. Enhanced Withholding Tax Calculation for Brazil
Brazilian tax regulations require withholding taxes to be deducted at multiple business
event points such as recording and payment of invoices.
In prior releases, withholding tax was deducted either during validation or payment of
invoices. Oracle Payables has been enhanced to allow application of withholding taxes
both during invoice validation and payment.
3.24.1.2. Discount Calculation Enhancements
Suppliers offer discounts for early payment. Early payment discounts can be fixed
monetary amounts or calculated on a percentage basis.
In prior releases, discounts could be defined in percentage terms only. Oracle Payables
now allows discounts to be specified in monetary amounts. When a percentage as well as
an amount is available, the higher or lower of the two can be specified for application.
3.24.1.3. Subcontractor Management for Engineering and Construction
Oracle Payables has been enhanced to automatically apply holds on supplier invoices
when the Pay When Paid or the PO Deliverable Control option is enabled on purchase
orders. During invoice validation, such holds are automatically released provided
authorizations have been recorded within Oracle Project Accounting or Oracle
Purchasing.
3.24.1.4. Supplier Dispute Processing

Suppliers can specify a related trading partner to be paid on their behalf. The payments
made on behalf of suppliers to other trading partners are termed as third-party payments.
Oracle Payables has been enhanced to record third party relationships and to process third
party payments. Withholding and 1099 processing continue to occur for invoicing
suppliers.
3.24.1.6. Business Intelligence Publisher Support for Selected Payables Reports
The following Oracle Payables reports have been re-written utilizing the Business
Intelligence Publisher (BIP) tool. BIP based reports offer greater flexibility to end users
in changing report layouts and formats:
• Withholding Tax by Invoice Report
• Bills Payable Maturity Date Report
• Discounts Available Report
• Payment Audit by Voucher Number
• Prepayments Status Report.

Release 12.1.2
3.24.1.7. Replace Supplier Bank Accounts on Invoices
In today’s business environment, it is a common practice to change bank accounts. If
suppliers change their bank accounts, Oracle Payables can now automatically update all
unpaid and partially paid invoices with the new bank account information. When users
end date an existing supplier bank account and provide a new active bank account, Oracle
Payables will automatically update the remit-to bank account information on unpaid and
partially paid invoices. This streamlines transaction processing and prevents the need to
update each invoice manually.
This feature has been back-ported to 12.1.1 via the standalone patches:
6867725:R12.AP.B and 6615694:R12.IBY.B.
3.24.1.8. Change Taxes from Inclusive to Exclusive Online
The tax regulations in many countries require that certain types of taxes on invoices be
applied as inclusive or exclusive to the price of the good or service. This is common in
countries that report VAT, such as in the United Kingdom, where the VAT tax can be
treated as inclusive or exclusive depending on the type or price of the good or service.
Oracle Payables provides the flexibility to override the inclusive or exclusive nature of
taxes that default from the eBTax setup. While entering an invoice, users can change
taxes from inclusive to exclusive or vice versa to match the tax shown on the physical
invoice. This ensures more accurate invoice entry and tax reporting.
Release 12.2.2
3.24.1.9. Workflow Transfer of Approval

data can be included in the settlement of the payment to Amex.
3.26.1.4. FDC Servlet Load Balancing
FDC North is a processor model payment system and is integrated with iPayments for
credit / purchase card processing on the funds capture side. Under the 11i/FP.G and R12
versions, the FDC North servlet could not be load balanced due to the use of a text file
(BatchGenMap.txt) for processing purposes and the inability for a text file to be shared
concurrently by two processes due to the risk of overwriting data. In this release, the data
required to process FDC batch queries can now be derived from the Payments data model
eliminating the use of the BatchGenMap text file. As a result, load balancing of the FDC
North servlet is now possible.
Release 12.0.6
3.26.1.5. Multiple Divisions per Settlement Batch Enhancement
Before Release 12.0.6, for large customers with multiple internal divisions, the number of
files generated during the settlement batch process in Oracle Payments may well

3.26.1.11. PA-DSS for Credit Card Processing
To ensure all payment type applications that interact with payment cards meet consistent
security standards, the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Security Standards Council
encourages and, in some cases, mandates that merchants use only PA-DSS (Payment
Application Data Security Standards) certified payment application software.

3.28.1.7. Enhanced Aging Report to Support Multi-Fund Accounts Receivables
Public sector companies and federal agencies often need to record receivables against
multiple operating funds on an invoice. Operating funds are represented as balancing
segments. In prior releases, Oracle Receivables aging reports could be used to monitor
fund level balances only when an invoice impacted a single balancing segment.
Oracle Receivables introduces a new Aging 7 Bucket by Account -- Multi-Fund
Accounts Receivables Report. This report lists receivables balances regardless of the
number of funds associated with any invoice.
All other Oracle Receivables aging reports remain unchanged.
Release 12.2.2
3.28.1.8. Review and Manage Accounting Exceptions during Period Close
Companies are constantly striving towards reducing the period close cycle time to
finalize the financial statements as early as possible for management and statutory
reporting. One of the period close tasks that can take considerable amount of time is
resolving the accounting exceptions.
Receivables now provides the new Sweep Invalid Distributions report that shows the
details of the accounting exceptions that are holding the period close for review and
action. If the amount involved is not material from the reporting perspective and
resolving the accounting exceptions is likely to delay the period close, then the
accounting date of the accounting distributions that have exceptions should be swept to
the next open period. Pass manual journal entry in the General Ledger in the current
period for the receivable accounting distributions that are swept to the next period.
The new Receivables report is not only useful in creating the manual journal entry in the
General Ledger but will also act as a supporting document for audit. In the next open
period reverse the manual journal entry and resolve the accounting exceptions.
3.28.1.9. Automate Auto Lockbox Processing
Companies using the Lockbox service receive the data file containing receipt information
from the banks at frequent intervals for each bank account that receives payments. These
files are processed by the Auto Lockbox programs to import, validate, create and apply
receipts. Until now the lockbox processing programs had to be launched manually from
the UI for each data file. Receivables now allow these programs to be submitted as
standard concurrent requests using the standard Submit Request form.
To further improve productivity, a custom program can be created that scans for the
incoming files at regular intervals. When a file is received it can automatically submit the
Auto Lockbox programs to process the file.
3.28.1.10. Assign Customers to Unidentified Receipts using API
Receivables departments need to efficiently manage the cash application process to
reduce the manual efforts and at the same time improve the customer satisfaction. Timely
and accurate application of the unidentified customer cash receipts to the invoices paid is
important to provide a true picture of the customer account and the transaction status and
helps in improving customer satisfaction. An API is now available that can be used to
assign customers to the unidentified receipts.
3.28.1.11. Golden Tax Adaptor Enhancement for Mainland China

3.28.1.15. Apply Receipts Automatically based on Match Score and Knapsack Method
The Automatic Cash Application improves accuracy and on-time application of cash
receipts with the introduction of two new methods for automatically applying cash
receipts.
The first method generates match scores using the Levenshtein distance algorithm and
automatically applies the receipt based on a score threshold. The second method applies
receipts by knap sacking the receipt amount and the open transactions of the customer.
Both methods provide suggested matches when a receipt cannot be applied automatically.

3.28.1.18. Manage Revenue to Address ASC 606 / IFRS 15 Accounting Principles
The ASC 606 and IFRS 15 accounting standards for Revenue from Contracts with
Customers apply to any enterprise in most countries worldwide.
The 5 steps to apply ASC 606 / IFRS 15 core principle to recognize revenue to depict the
transfer of goods and services to a customer are:
1.Identifying and creating customer contract(s).
2.Identifying and creating separate performance obligations.
3.Determining the transaction price of the contract(s).
4.Allocating the transaction price of the contract to distinct performance obligations
based on relative method of allocation.
5.Recognizing the revenue over time or at a point in time when performance obligations
are satisfied, and the customer obtains control.
Oracle Revenue Management Cloud performs the standard’s 5 steps by automatically
identifying, valuing and recording contracts and performance obligations, and
recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. This ensures that sales
transactions are consistently recorded in accordance with your policies reflecting the
accounting standard.
Leverage Oracle Revenue Management Cloud capabilities with the out-of-the-box
integration with Oracle E-Business. With this integration, manage your revenue for the
sales orders, service contracts, projects and accounts receivable invoices in Oracle
Revenue Management and continue managing your billing in E-Business Suite Accounts

the customer account and customer site level:
• Min Receipt Amount
• Credit Limit
• Order Credit Limit
• Min Statement Amount
• Min Dunning Amount
• Min Dunning Invoice Amount

While modifying data in the profile amount attributes in the Customer Account UI, you
can either enter it in non-formatted (only numbers) value or if formatted value is used, it
should be compliant with the formatting requirements for that currency.

3.33.1.56. Spain: Spanish Modelo 347 – Legal Changes 2014
The Deferred VAT regime is a regime that suppliers can adhere in order to pay and settle
their VAT on Payment date rather than the traditional Invoice date. Only suppliers that do
not exceed a total annual turnover of 2,000,000 Euros can adhere to this regime. EBS
and Fusion customers, therefore, are mainly recipients (i.e. customers) of said deferred
VAT transactions. Therefore, they will have to enter these deferred VAT transactions in
Oracle Payables and report them on the Spanish Payables Operations with Third Parties
Data Extract (Modelo 347).
A party that is the recipient of deferred VAT regime invoices can have both non-deferred
VAT invoices (known as accrual based invoices) and deferred VAT invoices. In the case
of non-deferred VAT invoices, there is no change regarding the extraction of data. With
regards to the Deferred VAT transactions, only those invoices paid in the declaration
year, for the portion paid, must be declared in the Deferred VAT Amount field (i.e. the
Amount of Transactions field will not change). Therefore, an invoice entered in
December 2014 and paid in January 2015 will only appear in the Deferred VAT Amount
field when submitting the 2015 declaration.
The layout for the 2014 reporting has been modified as per legal requirements and
following reports are available in support of the changes:
• Spanish Operations with Third Parties Magnetic Format (Modelo 347)
• Spanish Verification and Audit Report (Modelo 347).

3.33.1.57. United Kingdom: Local Authority: Impact of Salvage Value on Revaluation

Reserve Amortization Basis
Per International Accounting Standard (IAS) requirements when performing salvage
value adjustments on a revalued asset that has a revaluation reserve which exceeds the
Historic Net Book Value the relationship between the Salvage Value, Historic Net Book
Value, and Revaluation Reserve Balance must be maintained to ensure the revaluation
reserve amortization does not exceed the Historic Net Book Value on the asset.
As a result, when performing salvage value adjustments on a previously revalued asset,
Oracle assets will determine and adjust the revaluation reserve amortization basis as
necessary to ensure the Revaluation Reserve Balance does not exceed the Historic Net
Book Value on the asset.

3.33.1.80. Polish JPK VAT Registers File changes
Since Release 12.2.6 Oracle Financials already provided enablement for Polish JPK VAT
Register File, Polish JPK VAT Invoices File, Polish JPK Accounting File and Polish JPK
Bank Statements File.
On October 23, 2019, the Polish Ministry of Finance published an updated version of the
JPK Electronic Audit File, specifically the VAT Register block known as JPK_VAT
(formerly called JPK_VDEK). The update extends the functionality of the file, by
including VAT returns data, becoming the single Polish VAT Returns reporting method.
The new structure is mandatory, with the same monthly submission frequency, starting
April 1, 2020 for large companies and July 1, 2020 for all other companies.
After April 1, 2020, large companies cannot submit the former VAT returns as they will
have been obsoleted by the new structure. Therefore, the March VAT return submitted on
April 25, 2020 must be electronically transmitted with the new JPK_VAT structure. The
same logic applies for all other companies in July 2020.

4. New and Changed Features in Real Estate Management
4.1. Oracle Property Manager

Release 12.1.1
4.1.1.1. New Lease Statuses
Two new statuses have been introduced for leases. The new statuses are ‘Lease Ordered’
and ‘Signed’. These statuses are available when the lease approval status is ‘Draft.’
When a lease has a status of Lease Ordered or Signed, schedules and items are created for
any one-time payments. This allows users to create invoices or make payments from the
lease, for terms with frequency of one-time only, before the lease is finalized. Users can
use this new functionality for deposits or other payments that may be required before a
lease is finalized.
4.1.1.2. Lease Extension Enhancements
When the status is changed to Month-to-Month or Holdover and an extension date
entered, the following things will now be done automatically:
• Recurring payment terms that end on the lease termination date will be extended
to the new extension date.
• Users can choose to have variable rent and rent increase agreements extended.
This is described further in the sections on Variable Rent and Rent Increase
enhancements.
• Extensions of terms and agreements can be rolled forward month by month using
a new concurrent process.
• The system extends existing normalized payment terms differently depending on
the lease status. If the user changes the status from Active to Month-to-Month or
Holdover, the system extends a normalized payment term ending on the old lease
termination or extension date by adding a new non-normalized term rather than
by changing the end date of the existing term. If the lease is later placed back in
Active status, the term will be extended by addition of a new normalized term
beginning on the amendment commencement date.
4.1.1.3. Tenancy Extension and Contraction
When the user extends or contracts a lease, tenancy records (records on the locations tab
of the lease) will be extended or contracted as well, as appropriate.
4.1.1.4. Assignment Occupancy Percent Determined by Attribute on Tenancy
A new field on the lease locations (tenancy) tab, Assigned % Area: determines the %
Area value on the Customer Assignment, that is, it will determine what percentage of the
location area is occupied by that customer. The default will be 100%
4.1.1.5. Multiple Schedules for Same Schedule Day
Oracle Property Manager can create a new draft schedule, if needed, for a date with an
existing approved schedule. This means you can create a new term with the desired
schedule day in all cases
4.1.1.6. Prorating the Billing/Payment Amount based on a New Start Day Field
A new field has been added to the Lease form to capture the Year Start Date for
Prorating. Based on this field, the Schedule Start Date is determined considering the
period in which the Term Start Date falls into.
Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document Oracle Property Manager 94
4.1.1.7. Breakpoint Flexibility
Complete flexibility in setting up line items and breakpoint definitions has been
introduced. With this feature, users can:
• Set up complex agreements with changes to breakpoints, rates, breakpoint types,
line items, etc., occurring on any date, any number of times over the span of the
lease.
• Enter line item and breakpoint details with any start and end date, not restricted
to sales year start and end dates.
4.1.1.8. Updating Breakpoints
Users can now change breakpoint definitions at any time, regardless of whether variable
rent has been calculated and approved. To respond to amendments or to correct data,
users can change most parts of a variable rent agreement. If the changes affect rent that
has been approved, the application will create adjusting terms.
4.1.1.9. Natural Breakpoint Enhancements
When the terms that form the basis for a natural breakpoint change, whether because of a
rent increase or because a user added or ended a term, the system now automatically
recalculates the natural breakpoints. The user can recalculate the variable rent; and if the
changes affect rent that has been approved, the application will create adjusting terms.
Users now select terms to form the basis for natural breakpoints using a new attribute on
the term, allowing complete control over which terms are to be included.
Users can now have rent increases, selectively, included in the natural breakpoint basis as
the increases are assessed.
4.1.1.10. Early Termination of Agreement or Lease
The user can now end variable rent agreements as of any date, either directly or by
terminating a lease. The system will perform any recalculations necessary if variable rent
has already been paid for affected periods and will create adjusting and/or reversing
terms.
4.1.1.11. Extension of Variable Rent Agreements
The user can now extend the length of variable rent agreements, or have the system
extend the agreement automatically when a lease is extended. The user also chooses
whether to have the system automatically extend the latest breakpoint definitions when
the agreement is extended or to manually enter the breakpoint definition detail for the
extension period.
4.1.1.12. New Calculation Methods
Two new calculation methods have been introduced for Variable Rent.
• Year-to-Date. The system determines overage by comparing the cumulative
breakpoint with the cumulative sales (or other volume).
• True Up. The system calculates variable rent periodically through the year with a
non-cumulative method and then does a True Up calculation at the end of the
year (or other appropriate period).
4.1.1.13. New Partial Year Calculation Methods
Several new methods (in addition to the existing Standard Proration) have been
introduced to calculate variable rent in partial years at the beginning or end of an
agreement.
• First Year. A partial first year variable rent is calculated based on the first 12
months of sales, effectively using some sales from the second year as proxy for
the missing months in the first year. The resulting rent is prorated based on the
actual length of the first partial year.
• Last Year. This is the equivalent of the First Year method, applied to partial last
years.
• First Year / Last Year. If this Partial Year Method is selected, both the First Year
and Last Year methods will be applied.
• Combined Year with Breakpoint Proration. The first partial year is combined
with the second year. For cumulative and year-to-date methods, breakpoints and
volumes continue to accumulate for more than 12 months. The breakpoints are
effectively ‘annualized’ because the period of breakpoint accumulation matches
the period of volume accumulation.
• Combined Year without Breakpoint Proration. The first partial year is combined
with the second year. A blended annual breakpoint is calculated for the
combined period, converted to a 12-month value. This is used as the basis for
breakpoints for all methods. Since the combined year is longer than 12 months,
and the sales are accumulated for that longer period, the breakpoint accumulation
is not matched to the volume accumulation and the breakpoint is not, in effect,
annualized.
• No Proration. The breakpoints are used as entered, without proration. There is
no interaction or combination between values in the first partial year and the
second year.
4.1.1.14. Month-to-Month Roll Forward of Variable Rent Agreements
If a lease is in Month-to-Month status, the user can choose to automatically extend the
variable rent agreement with each monthly roll-forward of the Month-to-Month
extension.
4.1.1.15. Enhancement to Cumulative Calculation Method
When the overage rate for calculation of variable rent changes mid-year, accumulation of
volume recommences. Breakpoints are prorated to the length of the ‘cumulative cycle’
determined by sales year end dates or rate changes.
4.1.1.16. Allowances and Abatements
There are a number of enhancements related to allowances and abatements. Users can:
• Create multiple allowances with effective dates.
• Specify whether allowances or abatements are to be applied first.
• Select terms for recurring abatement at the time that agreements are created.
• Roll forward recurring abatement selections automatically and have the system
apply abatements automatically as part of the variable rent calculation process.
• Enter amounts for ‘Fixed Abatement.’ This is a new type of abatement. A fixed
abatement is an amount entered by the user to be applied as abatement for each
invoice period, much like the system applies the amount of recurring abatement
terms each invoice period.
4.1.1.17. Carry Forward of Excess Abatement as Negative Rent
Users can now control through an agreement parameter whether excess abatement
amounts are treated as negative rent.
4.1.1.18. Constraints
Users can now set start and end dates for constraints for the life of the agreement rather
than setting them up for each year.
4.1.1.19. Updating Volumes
Users can now update previously entered volume amounts through the Variable Rent
Gateway, where previously the only way to do an adjustment was by entering an
additional volume record (with a positive or negative adjusting amount).
4.1.1.20. Additional Frequency Attribute
The attribute called ‘Reporting Frequency’ in previous functionality determined two
different frequencies, which sometimes should have had different values. This attribute
has been split into two attributes:
• Calculation Frequency. The frequency with which variable rent is calculated.
This was the primary purpose of the former ‘Reporting Frequency.’
• Reporting Frequency. The frequency with which the tenant is required to report
volumes. This frequency does not affect calculations but does affect the logic by
which the Variable Rent Gateway creates default volume entry rows.
4.1.1.21. Streamlining of Adjustments
Users can now recalculate variable rent at any time, to accommodate for changed
volume, breakpoints or other factors. The system will create adjusting terms if necessary.
There is no longer a separate adjustment process.
4.1.1.22. Form Enhancements
There have been many enhancements to layouts and navigation, decreasing the number of
screens and improving usability.
• A number of multi-row views have been converted to folder blocks to allow for
user configuration.
• Drilldowns have been added between the invoice review screen and the line item
review screen.
• Multi-row views have been combined on a single screen with a primary-detail
relationship to reduce the number of screens and present information in a more
intuitive layout.
4.1.1.23. Display of Calculation Results
Users can review in detail, on-screen, the calculation that resulted in the variable rent
amount, regardless of which method is used for the agreement.
4.1.1.24. Variable Rent Templates
Users may select a variable rent template to populate many of the attributes of a variable
rent agreement. This reduces data entry effort and error.
4.1.1.25. Term Template Enhancements
Users can now create, edit and save term templates from within the variable rent
agreement. Now, users can maintain a relatively small number of generic term templates
to use as the starting point for term detail defaults for variable rent agreements. The user
will select a generic term template then, if necessary, make a copy with changes specific
to the agreement.
4.1.1.26. Processing by Property
Property has been added as a parameter to the concurrent process for calculation of
variable rent so that users can now select agreements by property for batch calculation.
4.1.1.27. Improved Variable Rent Report
An improved report has been introduced for reporting calculated variable rent.
4.1.1.28. Early Termination of Rent Increase Agreements
The user can now end rent increase agreements as of any date, either directly or by
terminating a lease. The system will create adjusting and/or reversing items as necessary.
4.1.1.29. Extension of Rent Increase Agreements
The user can now extend the length of rent increase agreements, or have the system
extend the agreement automatically when a lease is extended.
4.1.1.30. Month-to-Month Roll Forward
If a lease is in Month-to-Month status, the user can choose to automatically extend the
rent increase agreement with each monthly roll-forward of the Month-to-Month
extension.
4.1.1.31. Index Multiplier
Users can now specify a multiplier to be applied for rent increases based on an index
value. The amount specified is multiplied times the calculated change in the index
amount and the rent is changed by the resulting value rather than by the actual index
change percentage.
4.1.1.32. Proration
The system will now prorate constraints on rent increase for partial years.
4.1.1.33. Term Length
One compounding rent increase calculation method has been changed so that rent
increase terms are created only for the length of the assessment period rather than to the
end of the lease. This is appropriate for this method so that users now do not need to
manually change the term lengths.
4.1.1.34. Include/Exclude Option
A system option has been introduced that controls how terms are selected to form the
basis for rent increases. With previous functionality, all terms of the selected type were
selected by default for inclusion and users would deselect terms as appropriate. An
organization now can choose whether terms are included or excluded by default. Users
will still have complete control at the individual agreement level.
4.1.1.35. Recurring Backbill Terms
An option has been introduced that controls whether backbill terms are created as one-
time terms or as recurring terms. If they are created as recurring terms, the transaction
date for all resulting schedules is set to the same date, which is the date that the term was
approved.
4.1.1.36. Rent Increase Report
An improved report has been introduced for reporting calculated rent increases.
4.1.1.37. Create Operating Expense Agreement

Users can create an operating expense agreement for any lease clause governing the
payment of rent based on landlord operating costs or common area maintenance costs.
The agreement captures the key aspects of these agreements in a structured way that
enables consistent recording of agreements across the portfolio and also supports the
consistent and accurate reconciliation and ‘desktop audit’ of landlord reconciliation
statements. Aspects of agreements that can be recorded in a structured way include:
• All common ways of determining the pro rata basis for expense recovery, such as
occupied area with floor
• Multiple pro rata bases within a single agreement
• Administration fees and anchor contributions
• Rules governing recovery of different expense groups or pools, within a single
agreement, such as whether a type of expense is subject to fees or cap
• All common methods for calculating caps and minimums
• Different reconciliation frequencies
• Whether rent is subject to tax
• Stop amounts
• How reconciliation credits can be applied
• Standard expense group naming, for cross-portfolio comparisons
• Critical date rules, such as audit period and statement and payment due dates
• Extensive notes, by category.
4.1.1.38. Enter and Maintain Estimated Payment Terms
If the agreement requires the tenant to make estimated payments based on landlord
budgets, the user can create the payment term through the Operating Expense Agreement.
Estimated payment amounts are often adjusted by landlords annually or at other intervals.
The user can enter new amounts through the Agreement and the system will create the
appropriate term, including a catch-up term if needed. A history of the changing amount
is thus captured and displayed, with percent change.
4.1.1.39. Reconciliation
Reconciliation is created for each agreement for each reconciliation period. The user can
record information from the landlord reconciliation statement and use the reconciliation
screens as a ‘workbench’ for doing a desktop audit of the reconciliation statement.
Features include:
• Key entry, from the landlord reconciliation statement, of information not
available to the user from other sources, such as actual landlord expenses.
• Optional entry of the same items, in an ‘Expected’ column, if the user
has information that conflicts with the values presented by the landlord.
• Presentation by the system of information that is known based on the Operating
Expense Agreement, previous payments, and prior reconciliations, such as
calculated cap amount, agreement fee percentage and amount already paid as
estimated payments.
• Optional entry of the same items in the ‘Statement’ column, if the
amounts on the landlord statement are not the same as expected.
• Detailed presentation of the operating expense obligation calculation, in side-by-
side layout, showing the values from the landlord statement next to the values
expected by the user. The calculation includes caps, fees, contributions,
occupancy adjustments and stops, pro rata share calculation, and prior payment
amounts.
• Presentations of the percent change over the prior period for each expense group,
the total landlord expense, and the tenant share of expenses.
• Printable version of the detailed reconciliation analysis with side-by-side
comparison.
• Simple creation of reconciliation payment term based on the bottom line of the
reconciliation analysis, or simply the payment due amount on the landlord
reconciliation statement.
• Flexible expense year dates, or reconciliation period dates, so that reconciliations
can be done at irregular intervals if needed.
• Reconciliation notes and direct access to notes related to the agreement and to
prior reconciliations.
• Maintenance of critical dates specific to each reconciliation, such as audit period
end date.
• Tracking of reconciliation and audit status, and users responsible for each.
• Preservation of prior versions of a single reconciliation.
4.1.1.40. Operating Expense Agreement Dashboard
A dashboard presents agreements, reconciliations, and related payment terms that are
likely to need attention, based on user-configurable selection criteria. The dashboard also
has advanced query capability for searching for agreements, reconciliations and/or
payment terms.
Users can select existing objects for view or update, or can initiate creation of new
agreements, reconciliations or payment terms from the dashboard.
Release 12.1.3+
4.1.1.41. Business Event Workflow and Status Update
A new business event approval workflow integrated with approvals manager and lease
status update is now available. A new approval 'Submitted' status has been introduced to
prevent the lease from being updated when the approval workflow has been initiated but
not yet approved or rejected.
4.1.1.42. Lease and Terms APIs
Lease and Terms API’s are now available to programmatically convert legacy system
leases and update existing leases details and payment terms into Oracle Property
Manager.
4.1.1.43. Variable Rent and Breakpoint APIs
The variable rent API’s provide a standard and consistent integration mechanism with
customer’s legacy variable rent systems. The API’s provide users with the ability to
create new or update existing variable rent agreements, to generate periods and
breakpoints, abatements and constraints for Variable Rent.
4.1.1.44. Index Rent APIs
New Index Rent API’s are available to create new or update existing index rent
agreements. Based on parameters provided by the user, the APIs will generate the index
rent details and periods for new and existing agreements.
4.1.1.45. Operating Expense Support for Advance Payments
Tenants create payments for operating expenses through the Oracle Property Manager
Operating Expense Dashboard to prevent duplicate payments and validate compliance
with the operating expense agreement terms. Now they can process one-time advance
payments to the landlord for prepaid expenses, such as estimated tax and insurance
premiums.
4.1.1.46. Normalization Support for Multiple Amendments and Partial Periods
Property Manager renormalizes lease terms when changes are made using either the edit
or amend functions. When users need to amend lease payments mid-month, Property
Manager prorates the normalized amount for the partial month using the selected
proration rule.
4.1.1.47. Variable Rent Agreement Invoice Date Derivation
A new profile option PN: Variable Rent Billing Date enables you to select the desired
logic to derive the billing period start date. This profile option applies only if you select
GL Calendar for a variable rent agreement. You can set the profile option to one of the
following:
Invoice Period Start Plus 30 Days: This option is the default value and it derives the
billing date as the invoice period start date plus 30 days. You can also leave the profile
option blank to use this option.
Last Date of Calendar Period: This option generates the billing date on the last date of
calendar period.
4.1.1.48. GL Date Derived from Period Name
You have options to derive GL date using the Transfer Normalized Lines to GL
concurrent program. Use the default value, Due Date, to derive the GL Date based on the
due date of the payment schedule. Optionally, you can select Period Name to derive the
GL Date based on the period name associated to the payment schedule.
4.1.1.49. Rent Normalization for Mid-Month Proration
Oracle Property Manager prorates normalized lease payments when the amendment
commencement date is in the middle of the month. For example, when your payments are
monthly and the lease begins mid-month, Property Manager applies the proration rule
you selected in the Details window to prorate the normalized amount for that month.
Release 12.2
4.1.1.50. Override Variable Rent Calculations Client Extensions

update and/or override the variable rent amount calculated by Oracle Property Manager.

4.1.1.51. Support for ASC 842 and IFRS 16 for Property and Equipment
Starting in 2019, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) will require adherence to new accounting standards
for lessees (both property and equipment). To meet these new standards, lessees are
required to make significant changes in accounting and reporting by adding their leases to
their balance sheet as lease liabilities with corresponding right-of-use (ROU) assets.
To help address the new accounting requirements, you now have access to the following
capabilities:
• Contract Abstraction and Migration: User Interfaces(UIs) are provided to capture
contractual terms and conditions (attributes) and asset information for leases.
New UIs and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are available to capture
and amend the contracts.
• Lease Accounting Transformation: A new accounting infrastructure provides the
ability to account for and amortize the liability and right-of-use asset. This new
infrastructure includes the ability to determine account codes based on sources
from the equipment lease contract available for subledger accounting rules
configuration.
• Global Lease Management: The solution supports Multi-GAAP with the ability
to account under existing GAAP, IFRS 16, and ASC 842 for the same contract.
• Flexible Amortization Schedules: Amortization of the ROU asset and lease
liability using various options (e.g., 30/360, 4-4-5, daily calculations) for each
GAAP is provided.
• Support for Foreign Currency: The solution supports and accounts for multiple
currencies on the same contract, providing you the ability to manage your ROU
asset and liability in the entered and functional currencies.
• Enhanced Reporting: There are reports to help with managing the new lease
accounting and disclosures, including the Lease Analysis Report, Lease Detail
Report, Portfolio Detail Report, and Portfolio Summary Report. These reports
combine information from your Property lease portfolio to provide a single view
of all of your leases.
Note: If you have already licensed Oracle E-Business Suite Financials, you are granted a
restricted use of Property Manager Equipment leasing features to enable you to benefit
from the above features to address IFRS 16 and ASC 842.

Release 12.2.9
4.1.1.52. Improve Flexibility for Transaction Processing

Customers need to create the right-of-use assets (ROU) and lease liability on the balance
sheet when the contract is created and ensure the balances are removed when the contract
is terminated to ensure adherence to IFRS 16 and ASC 842.
In this respect customers need flexibility when processing these transactions. The
contract is not immediately in the hands of the lease administrator the moment it is
signed. It may not reach the administrator until after the period is closed. The same
applies to a termination. There may be a lapse in time between the contract ending and
the lease administrator being notified to terminate the contract.
In these cases, Oracle Property Manager provides the ability to book or terminate a
contract with a prior date. The ROU and lease liability and any expenses will be
accounted for in their correct period or the first open period afterwards.
For accruals processing, the functionality now exists to run the accruals program at any
point during an accounting period.
4.1.1.53. Streamlined Amendments
Amendments have been streamlined to improve efficiency and prevent incompatible
combinations. This streamlining includes:
• Support for multiple amendments within the same period.
• Categorizing amendments by the type of change (e.g., rate change, re-
classification, term change, etc.).
• Amendments for re-classification, rate change, contractions, and extensions
using the same amount for the ROU and Lease Liability, which is in line
with IFRS 16 and ASC 842.
• ROU and lease liability balances are carried forward from previous terms by
linking the new terms added during an amendment.
• All the details of the amendment are captured in an audit table to provide
visibility and transparency of contract changes and their financial impact.
4.1.1.54. Additions to Disclosure Reports

The Lease Detail Report has been improved to include adjustments as well as data prior
to amendments.
The Portfolio Detail Report has been re-designed to separate amendments from the main
sections. Also, original and final numbers are also separated.
4.1.1.55. Amortization Improvements

A new interest calculation method has been added. The new method of Daily
Compounding Interest has been added to both daily and periodical amortizations.
The support the long running contracts that rely on the GL calendar for amortizations, the
Daily Calculation option has been improved to create the amortization only through the
periods created in the GL calendar. Users no longer need to create GL periods to match
the length of the longest contract. The remaining liability and ROU balance will be
shown in the last month. As more periods are created, contracts can be re-amortized to
continue the amortization of the balances.
4.1.1.56. Equipment Enhancements

New functionality has been added to improve the operational efficiency of handling
equipment leases. This includes:
• Attachments: Similar to the property solution, attachments are now supported

for equipment. This allows users to capture documents related to the contract,
such as copies of the contract, schedules, asset information, etc.
• Workflow: Also, in line with the property solution, an approval workflow is
initiated when activating a lease contract.
• Asset Auto-Numbers: A lease can have many assets included. As assets are
created on the contract, they can be automatically numbered to save time during
contract creation.
4.1.1.57. View Leasing related Accounts Payable Transactions

Users are able to view Accounts Payable invoices initiated by Property Manager from the
view transactions options in Property Manager.
Release 12.2.10
4.1.1.58. Option Amortization

When generating the amortization schedule, the application looks at the last option on the
contract and generates the amortization of the ROU and liability through the date of that
option. Even if the option is prior to the end date of the contract, for example, an early
termination option, the amortization will be generated through the option date. This is only
applicable for options included in the ROU and/or liability.
4.1.1.59. Lease Detail Report
The lease detail report provides the amortization of the ROU and liability balances. Each time
a contract is amended, the amortization is updated. The lease detail report has been
improved to combine the amortization before and after an amendment to provide a single
view of the balances being amortized through the different amendment events.
4.1.1.60. Future Dated Terminations
Lessees and lessors may decide to terminate a lease early. These decisions are normally made
for a future period. For example, the lessee may decide to end a lease after their fiscal year or
a particular event. New functionality provides the ability to have a commencement date and
a different termination date, allowing the contract to be terminated in the future. Users also
have a choice to amortize the gain/loss amount over the remaining period of the lease term.
4.1.1.61. Linking of Payment Terms
The ROU and liability are amortized at the payment level, so each payment has its own
amortization associated to it. To modify a payment amount, the contract is amended, and the
payment term ended, and a new payment term added for the new payment amount. The
“Link Terms” type of amendment automates the contraction and addition of the new payment
term. This new feature carries forward the ROU and liability balances from original to new
payment terms to give a seamless amortization.
4.1.1.62. Cancellation of Options
At the beginning of the lease, lessees decide whether options are expected to be exercised. If
expected to be exercised, the option is included in the ROU and liability balances and
amortized through the date of the last option. If a lessee later decides that options will not be
exercised, the option is cancelled. The cancellation of an option adjusts the ROU and lability
balances and regenerates the amortization schedule.
4.1.1.63. Streamline Lease Expense Calculations
Separate calculations for lease expenses during amendments and termination are now
provided. Any amendment adjusts over/under recovered lease expense over remaining life of
the lease. In termination, cash for the termination month will be considered as lease expense
with the difference posted into gain/loss.
4.1.1.64. Improved Lease Amortization Rounding
While generating the lease amortization schedule, a small amount is adjusted in the last
period to bring the balances down to zero. New logic improves the rounding through all the
periods to reduce the adjustment needed for the last period.
Release 12.2.12
The functionality described below for release 12.2.12 is for available for all property expense
leases belonging to an operating unit that has transitioned to the IFRS16 / ASC842 compliance
solution.
4.1.1.65. Lease Versioning
The application assigns a unique version number to every lease during the lease contract
lifecycle. Payment schedules, accruals, and accounting entries individual to each lease state
will have the version number associated with them. The lease version will increment with
every amendment and edit to the lease.
4.1.1.66. Simulations and Reviews through Multiple Iterations
The application enables you to enter the necessary inputs for a lease or amend an existing
lease and generate schedules and balances using the information you provided before
activating the lease. A new review mechanism allows you to review payment schedules,
compliance balances, transactions before finalizing a new lease or a new amendment.
The system enables you to perform multiple iterations and simulations until you have decided
to activate the lease or amendment.
4.1.1.67. Lease Amendment over Multiple Sessions and Discard
The System enables you to save an amendment as a work in progress and resume it later.
Also, you can discard an ongoing amendment.
4.1.1.68. Lease History Tracing
The application enables you to navigate to any prior version of the lease and view all the
details related to the prior version in a read-only mode using a newly introduced tab within
the lease called – Versions.
The details that you view in a read-only mode after navigating to a prior version include the
lease detail report, payment schedule details, discount rate index, amendment key dates
about the old lease version, and much more.
4.1.1.69. Automatic Generation of Schedules and Lease Detail Report

The application automatically generates the payment schedules and the lease detail report
and makes them available to you to review under a newly introduced tab within the lease
called – Schedules. You can review the payment schedules or download the lease detail report
before finalizing a new lease or amendment.
Additionally, the application displays all errors encountered while validating the
lease/amendment, generating the payment schedules, lease detail report, or finalizing the
lease under a newly introduced tab within the lease called – Errors.
4.1.1.70. Inclusion of Rent Increase Balances during lease Booking
The application enables you to attach rent increase agreements to the lease during lease
authoring, thus including the known rent increases into compliance balances for lease
booking. This feature also enables you to calculate rent increases from the lease
commencement date as per compliance requirements.
4.1.1.71. Rent Increase Amendment
The application enables you to attach rent increase payments on a lease as an amendment.
You can review the rent increase schedules and associated compliance balances before
activating such an amendment. That way you can start the rent increase calculations from a
user-defined amendment commencement date instead of the default system date.
4.1.1.72. Amendment without any Scope Change
You can set an option to use the existing discount rate or use the discount rate effective on
the amendment commencement date.
4.1.1.73. Multi-Level AME Workflow for Lease Authoring and Amendment
You will be able to leverage the full capability of multi-level AME workflow during lease
booking and lease amendment. You can send a request for approval to multiple approvers
before activating any new lease entered in the system or any amendment to an existing lease.
Also, the workflow notification for approvers and requestors has been enhanced to provide the
essential details related to the lease/amendment.
4.1.1.74. Lease Detail Report Enhancement
The lease detail report displays additional information for the payment terms participating in
an amendment to depict the changes to cash flow and compliance balances due to the
amendment. The additional information includes changes to cash flows, rate change, opening
ROU/Liability balances for mid-period amendments, reversed amortization/interest/liability,
and many more.
Additionally, the header section of the lease detail report provides more information, such as
the lease booking date, booking ROU/Liability/Reserve, the transition date of the OU, the
primary regime, and more.
Note: With the introduction of lease versioning, the system is going to maintain additional
historical data for the versioned leases. System will start storing the historical lease data
version wise when a user enters a new lease or when a user amends or edits an existing lease.
Release 12.2.13
Overview
Customers’ requirements towards versioning of Equipment Lease, stop and review, tracing of
Equipment lease history and multi-level AME workflow for Equipment Lease amendments are
addressed for Equipment Leases through Equipment lease versioning in 12.2.13. Most of these
features for lease versioning for equipment are like the lease versioning in Property Manager
that was made available in 12.2.12.
Equipment leases do not have the elaborate process for transition and hence lease versioning
features will be available from the first amendment user performs on an active lease.
4.1.1.75. Equipment Lease: Incremental lease Version

The system provides a distinct identification number to each Equipment lease
throughout its duration. Consequently, payment schedules, accruals, and accounting
entries pertaining to a particular Equipment lease are assigned a unique version number
that corresponds to its current state. Every subsequent amendment bumps up the
version number.
4.1.1.76. Equipment Lease: Simulations and Reviews through Multiple Iterations
The system enables users to input the required information for creating or modifying an
Equipment lease and generate schedules and balances based on the provided data
before activating the lease. Lease and amendment activation is now a multi-step
process and hence users have a convenience of stop and review at every step. This also
makes possible multiple iterations and simulations before the lease or amendment is
finally activated.
4.1.1.77. Equipment Lease: Lease Amendment over Multiple Sessions and Discard
The System provides users with the capability to save an ongoing amendment on an
Equipment lease as a work in progress and resume it later. Additionally, users can
discard the ongoing amendment before it is activated, if required.
4.1.1.78. Equipment Lease: Lease History Tracing

The system allows users to access and examine previous versions of an Equipment lease
by navigating through a designated tab called "Versions." Within this tab, users can
view all the details associated with a specific old version of the lease in a read-only
mode.
4.1.1.79. Equipment Lease: Automatic Generation and Display of Schedules and Lease
Detail Report
The system autonomously creates the payment schedules and lease detail report, which
are then accessible to the user for review via a newly introduced tab within the lease
known as "Schedules." This allows users to examine draft payment schedules and
review a preliminary lease detail report before completing the finalization process for a
new Equipment lease upon entering the system or before finalizing any amendment.
Furthermore, the system presents all encountered errors during the validation of the
lease or amendment, payment schedule generation, lease detail report generation, or
lease finalization under a recently introduced tab within the lease called "Validations" .
This enables users to conveniently access and address any errors or issues that arise
during these processes.
4.1.1.80. Equipment Lease: Flexibility during Amendment to retain the current Discount
Rate
For Equipment leases too, users are provided with the choice to select the existing
discount rate or use the discount rate effective on amendment commencement date
(ACD).
4.1.1.81. Equipment Lease: Multi-Level AME Workflow for Equipment Lease Authoring and
Amendment
During Equipment lease booking and amendment, users have access to the
comprehensive functionality of a multi-level AME (Oracle Approvals Management)
workflow. This allows users to submit approval requests to multiple approvers before
finalizing any new Equipment lease or any amendment to an existing lease.
4.1.1.82. Equipment Lease: Lease Detail Report Enhancement
The lease detail report now presents supplementary details for payment terms involved
in an amendment, illustrating the modifications to cash flow and compliance balances
resulting from the amendment. This includes information such as changes to cash flow,
rate adjustments, opening ROU/liability balances for mid-period ACD, reversed
amortization/interest/liability, and other relevant data.
4.2. Oracle Lease Contracts Command Center
