II. Creating a Purchasing Responsibility
Create a super user to use as a logon name during setup and assign the super user the required setup responsibilities.
Switch to System Administrator Responsibility
File > Switch Responsibility > System Administrator
N: Security > Responsibility > Define

Enter the data save and Close
Query IVAS11 User id
Attach the Responsibility to the user id (IVAS11)
N: Security > User > Define

Save your work and close
Responsibilities Window
Use this window to define a responsibility. Each application user is assigned at least one responsibility.
A responsibility determines whether the user accesses Oracle Applications or Oracle Mobile Applications; which applications functions a user can use; which reports and concurrent programs the user can run; and which data those reports and concurrent programs can access.
Responsibilities cannot be deleted. To prevent a responsibility from being used, set the Effective Date's to field to a past date and restart Oracle Applications.
Before defining your responsibility, do the following:
Use the Data Groups window to list the ORACLE username your responsibility's concurrent programs reference on an application-by-application basis.
Use the Request Groups window to define the Request Group you wish to make available with this responsibility.
Use the Menus window to view the predefined Menu you can assign to this responsibility.

Responsibilities Block
An application name and a responsibility name uniquely identify a responsibility.
Responsibility Name
If you have multiple responsibilities, a pop-up window includes this name after you sign on.
Application
The owning application for the responsibility.
This application name does not prevent the user of this responsibility from accessing other applications' forms and functions if you define the menu to access other applications.
Responsibility Key
This is the internal key for the responsibility that is used by loader programs, (concurrent programs that load messages, user profiles, user profile values, and other information into Oracle Applications tables). The responsibility key is unique per application.
Effective Dates (From/To)
Enter the start/end dates on which the responsibility becomes active/inactive. The default value for the start date is the current date. If you do not enter an end date, the responsibility is valid indefinitely.
You cannot delete a responsibility, because its information helps to provide an audit trail. You can deactivate a responsibility at any time by setting the end date to the current date. If you wish to reactivate the responsibility later, either change the end date to a date after the current date, or clear the end date.
Available From
This is the navigator from which the responsibility will be available (Oracle Applications forms navigator, mobile navigator).
A responsibility may be associated with only one Applications system.
Data Group
Note: Data groups are used for backward compatibility only. Oracle Application Framework does not support the data groups feature.
Name/Application
The data group defines the pairing of application and ORACLE username.

Select the application whose ORACLE username forms connect to when you choose this responsibility. The ORACLE username determines the database tables and table privileges accessible by your responsibility. Transaction managers can only process requests from responsibilities assigned the same data group as the transaction manager.
Menu
The menu whose name you enter must already be defined with Oracle Applications.
Request Group - Name/Application
If you do not assign a request security group to this responsibility, a user with this responsibility cannot run requests, request sets, or concurrent programs from the Submit Requests window, except for request sets owned by the user. The user can access requests from a Submit Requests window you customize with a request group code through menu parameters.
Menu Exclusions Block
Note: Menu exclusions should be used for backward compatibility only.
Define function and menu exclusion rules to restrict the application functionality accessible to a responsibility.
Type
Select either Function or Menu as the type of exclusion rule to apply against this responsibility.
When you exclude a function from a responsibility, all occurrences of that function throughout the responsibility's menu structure are excluded.
When you exclude a menu, all of its menu entries, that is, all the functions and menus of functions that it selects are excluded.
Name
Select the name of the function or menu you wish to exclude from this responsibility. The function or menu you specify must already be defined in Oracle Applications.
HTML-Based Applications Security
Oracle HTML-based applications use columns, rows and values in database tables to define what information users can access. Table columns represent attributes that can be assigned to a responsibility as Securing Attributes or Excluded Attributes. These attributes are defined in the Web Application Dictionary.

Excluded Items
Use the List of Values to select valid attributes. You can assign any number of Excluded Attributes to a responsibility.
Securing Attributes
Use the List of Values to select valid attributes. You can assign any number of securing attributes to the responsibility.
Define Profile Values
The Site and Profiles with No Values check boxes on the Profile page are selected by default. Therefore, when a search is performed and a profile option is selected, the system lists the values defined only at site level. To see the values defined at all the levels, uncheck these checkboxes before performing a search and selecting a profile option.
To define a value for a profile option at some level, then select that profile option and click Define Profile Values. This will navigate you to the Define Profile Values page where you can add the value for all the relevant levels by navigating through the sub-tabs in that page.

III. Oracle Purchasing Set up
1. Options
Define three types of Options as follows:
a. Financial Options

a. Financials Options
Use the Financials Options window to define the options and defaults that you use for your Oracle Financial Application(s). Values you enter in this window are shared by Oracle Payables, Oracle Purchasing, and Oracle Assets. You can define defaults this window to simplify supplier entry, requisition entry, purchase order entry, invoice entry, and automatic payments. Depending on your application, you may not be required to enter all fields.
Although you only need to define these options and defaults once, you can update them at any time. If you change an option and it is used as a default value elsewhere in the system, it will only be used as a default for subsequent transactions. For example, if you change the Payment Terms from Immediate to Net 30, Net 30 will be used as a default for any new suppliers you enter, but the change will not affect the Payment Terms of existing suppliers.
N: Setup > Organizations > Financial Options

Click on Find
 Accounting Financials Options:

Future Periods: Payables displays the number of future periods you use in your set of books. Payables uses this value to limit the number of future periods you can maintain in the Control Payables Periods window. You can enter invoices in future periods.
GL Accounts
Liability: Payables assigns this account as the default Liability Account for all new suppliers you enter. You can override this value during supplier entry. If you use Accrual Basis accounting, then the Liability Account for an invoice determines the liability account(s) charged when you create accounting entries for invoices.
Prepayment: The Prepayment account and description for a supplier site's invoices. The Financials option value defaults to new suppliers, and the supplier value defaults to new supplier sites.
Future Dated Payment: If you use future dated payments, then enter a value for Future Dated Payment account. This value defaults to all new suppliers and new bank accounts. The supplier value defaults to all new supplier sites. The bank account value defaults to new payment documents.
When Payables accounts for future dated payments, it uses the Future Dated Payment Account from either the supplier site or the payment document, depending on the option you select in the Payment Accounting region of the Payables Options window.

If you relieve liability payment time, this should be an asset account. If you relieve liability at future dated payment maturity, then this should be a liability account.
Discount Taken: If you choose to distribute your discounts to the system Discount Taken Account, Payables uses this account to record the discounts you take on payments. Use the Payables Options window to select your method for distributing discounts for your invoices.
PO Rate Variance Gain/Loss: Payables uses these accounts to record the exchange rate variance gains/losses for your inventory items. The variance is calculated between the invoice and either the purchase order or the receipt, depending on how you matched the invoice. These accounts are not used to record variances for your expense items. Any exchange rate variance for your expense items is recorded to the charge account of the purchase order. Payables calculates these amounts during Payables Invoice Validation.
Expenses Clearing: This account is required when you use the Company Pay payment option of Oracle Internet Expenses. Payables uses this as a temporary account to record credit card transaction activity. Payables debits this account when you create an invoice to pay a credit card issuer for credit card transactions. Payables credits this account with offsets to the original debit entries when you submit Expense Report Import for an employee expense report entered in Internet Expenses that has credit card transactions on it.
Miscellaneous: Used only when importing invoices submitted via iSupplier Portal or XML Gateway.
If you enter a value here then the system uses this account for all Miscellaneous charges on invoices your suppliers enter in iSupplier Portal. If you do not enter a value here then the system prorates Miscellaneous charges across Item lines on iSupplier Portal invoices.
The system also uses this value for any miscellaneous charges your suppliers send in XML invoices. If you do not enter a value here then import prorates miscellaneous charges across Item lines for XML invoices.
 Supplier - Purchasing Financials Options:
The options you define in this region, except for Inventory Organization, are used as default values for the Purchasing region of the Suppliers window. The supplier values default to new supplier sites for the supplier, which default to new purchasing documents for the supplier site.
Note: If you use the Multiple Organizations Support feature, values you enter in this window will default to both the Supplier and Supplier Site.
You can override defaulted values during entry of the supplier, supplier site, and purchasing documents.

Ship-To /Bill-To Location: The name of the ship-to/bill-to location for the system default value. If the name you want does not appear in the list of values, use the Location window to enter a new location.
Inventory Organization: You need to choose an inventory organization if you use Purchasing. You can associate each of your Purchasing operating units with one inventory item master organization. When you associate your Purchasing operating unit with an inventory organization, items you define in this organization become available in Purchasing. You can only choose an inventory organization that uses the same set of books as your Purchasing operating unit. Do not change the Inventory Organization after you have already assigned one to Purchasing.
Ship Via: Freight carrier you use with suppliers. If the type of freight carrier you want does not appear in the list of values, use the Freight Carriers window to define a new shipping method. The value you enter here is the value in the Description field of the Freight Carriers window in Purchasing.
FOB: If the type of FOB you want is not in the list of values, use the Oracle Purchasing Lookups window to define a new FOB.
Freight Terms: The freight terms for a supplier identify whether you or your supplier pays for freight charges on goods you receive. You can define new freight terms in the Oracle Purchasing Lookups window.

 Encumbrance Financials Options:
To use encumbrance accounting or budgetary control, you must install Payables, Purchasing, and General Ledger. Use this region to enable encumbrance accounting and to specify the default encumbrance types Payables assigns to your invoices, and Purchasing assigns to your requisitions and purchase orders.
If you enable encumbrance accounting or budgetary control, Purchasing creates encumbrances when you reserve funds for a requisition or purchase order. If you use the perpetual accrual method in Purchasing, Purchasing reverses purchase order encumbrances when you inspect, accept, and deliver the units. If you are using the periodic accrual method in Purchasing, Payables reverses the purchase order encumbrances when you create accounting entries for invoices.
Payables creates encumbrances when there is a variance between a matched invoice and the purchase order to which it is matched, and when the invoice encumbrance type is different from the Purchasing encumbrance type.
Oracle Financials provides two predefined encumbrance types that you can use to identify requisition, purchase order, and invoice encumbrances: Commitment and Obligation. You can define additional encumbrance types in Oracle General Ledger in the Encumbrance Types window.

Use Requisition Encumbrance: Enable this option to encumber funds for requisitions. If you enable this option, Purchasing creates journal entries and transfers them to General Ledger to encumber funds for purchase requisitions.
Encumbrance Type: If you enable Use Requisition Encumbrance, you must select an encumbrance type by which you can identify your requisition encumbrance journal entries. Purchasing assigns this encumbrance type to the encumbrance journal entries it creates for purchase requisitions.
Reserve at Completion: If you enable Use Requisition Encumbrance, indicate whether you want requisition preparers to have the option to reserve funds. If you do not enable this option, only requisition approvers will have the option to reserve funds.
Use PO Encumbrance: Enable this option to encumber funds for purchase orders, purchase order and receipt matched invoices, and basic invoices (not matched). If you enable this option, Purchasing encumbers funds for purchase orders and Payables encumbers funds for variances during Payables Invoice Validation for purchase order and receipt matched invoices. If you enable this option and enter a non-purchase order matched invoice, Payables will encumber funds for it during Payables Invoice Validation. All Payables encumbrances are reversed when you create accounting entries. If you enable Use Requisition Encumbrance, you must also enable this option.
PO Encumbrance Type: If you enable Use Purchase Order Encumbrance, select a purchase order encumbrance type by which you can identify your purchase order encumbrance journal

entries. Purchasing assigns this encumbrance type to the encumbrance journal entries it creates for purchase requisitions and purchase orders.
Invoice Encumbrance Type: If you use purchase order encumbrance, select an invoice encumbrance type by which you can identify your invoice encumbrance journal entries. Payables assign this encumbrance type to the encumbrance journal entries that it creates. We recommend that you use an encumbrance type different from the Purchasing encumbrance type so you can identify invoice encumbrances.
 Tax Financials Options:
Member State: The location of your company or organization. Payables use this country name to determine if your company or organization is located in a member state of the European Union (EU).
VAT Registration Number: The Value-Added Tax (VAT) registration number for your organization. Your organization is assigned a VAT Registration Number if you register to pay VAT. The first two characters of a VAT registration number are the country code for the country or state where the registered company or organization is located. Payables print this number on the header of the Intra-EU VAT Audit Trail Report.

 Human Resources Financials Options:
Use this region to enter the options and defaults for entering employee information in the Enter Person window.
Business Group: Enter the name of the business group that you want to associate with Purchasing. If you use Purchasing jointly with Oracle Human Resources, you must reference the business group that you define in Oracle Human Resources. If you use Purchasing without Human Resources, you can use the default value. The default for this field is the Human Resources default of Setup Business Group.
The business group determines which employees you can use in Purchasing. In Purchasing, you can see only the employees in this business group.
Expense Reimbursement Address: Select the default address you want to use on payments for employee expense reports: Home or Office. The system uses this default for each new employee you enter. You can override this default during employee entry or expense report entry.

Use Approval Hierarchies: Enable this option to use positions and position hierarchies to determine approval paths for your documents within Purchasing. Disable this option of you want approval paths based on the supervisor structure.
Employee Numbering Method: You can enter your employee numbers manually or let the system generate sequential employee numbers. The system prevents you from entering a value in this field if you install Oracle Human Resources or Oracle Payroll. You can change the numbering method at any time.
o Automatic: The system automatically assigns a unique sequential number to each employee when you enter a new employee.
o Manual: You enter the employee number when you enter an employee.
o Use National Identifier Number: The system automatically enters the employee's National Identifier Number as the employee number. For example, a Social Security number for a United States employee.
Attention: Be careful if you switch from manual to automatic entry. The employee number must be unique. When you use manual entry, you can assign any number and in any order. If you switch to automatic after having entered employee numbers manually, the system may try to assign a number that you already assigned. If you switch from manual to automatic entry, make sure the next available number for automatic entry is larger than the largest number you have already recorded.
Next Automatic Number: If you select the Automatic Employee Numbering method, enter the starting value you want the system to use for generating unique sequential employee numbers. After you enter a number and save your changes, the system displays the number that it will assign to the next new employee you enter.
Use the Purchasing Options window to define default values and controls for functions throughout Purchasing. You can often override purchasing options when you are creating documents.
N: Setup > Organizations > Purchasing Options
Select IVAS_OPERATING_UNIT and click on “Go” Button
Enter Operating Unit click on Go

You can define specific categories of options when you select one of the following:
 Defining Document Control Options To define document control options:
1. Navigate to the Control tabbed region in the Purchasing Options window.
2. Enter the Price Tolerance Percentage. This is the percentage by which the auto created purchase order line price cannot exceed the requisition line price. If you select Enforce Price Tolerance Percentage, you can create, but not approve, purchase orders for which this tolerance is exceeded. There is no restriction on how much a price can decrease, but changes to the line (quantity or unit of measure for example) may cause the price tolerances to be exceeded.
Note: If the price on a requisition line is zero, then price tolerance checks do not apply.
3. Select Enforce Price Tolerance Percentage if you want Purchasing to enforce the price tolerance percentage.

4. Enter the Price Tolerance Amount. This is the dollar amount by which the autocreated purchase order line price cannot exceed the requisition line price.
Note: If you set both price tolerance percentage and amount values, the system will apply the more restrictive of the two.
5. Select Enforce Price Tolerance Amount if you want Purchasing to enforce the price tolerance amount.
6. Select one of the following values for the Enforce Full Lot Quantity option:
None: The requisition quantity is not rounded to the lot quantity.
Automatic: The requisition quantity is forced to the rounded quantity.
Advisory: An advisory message suggesting rounding and a suggested rounding quantity are displayed, but you can override.
Enforce Full Lot Quantity is used for rounding quantities on Internal Requisitions, for example:
System Options Enforce Full Lot Quantities = Yes Items Rounding Factor = 75% Items Unit of Issue = DZ Unit of Measure on Internal Requisition = Each
If the user enters 6 each on the Internal Requisition, the quantity will be rounding to 0. If the user enters 11 each on the Internal Requisition, the quantity will be rounded to 12 each.
7. Select Display Disposition Messages if you want to see any disposition messages defined against inventory items when they are placed on requisitions.
8. Select the Receipt Close Point, which is when the shipment is closed for receiving: Accepted (passed inspection), Delivered, or Received. Note that you need to set the receipt close tolerance percentage in the Default Options window.
9. Select Notify If Blanket PO Exists if you want to be notified of existing blanket purchase agreements when you create a requisition, purchase order, or blanket purchase agreement line for the item. If you sourced the item, you see the following message: Blanket purchase order [number] already exists for this item. Your requestors can directly create a release for the blanket purchase agreements instead of creating a requisition or purchase order if you allow your requestor to enter releases.
10. The Cancel Requisitions options apply only to requisitions from which purchase orders were AutoCreate. Select one of the following:
Always: When canceling the purchase order, Purchasing also cancels the requisition.

Never: When canceling the purchase order, Purchasing does not cancel the requisition, so it is again available for inclusion on a purchase order.
Optional: When canceling the purchase order, you are given the option to cancel the requisition.
11. You can define for each item whether you allow updating of the item description during the creation of requisition, RFQ, quotation, or purchase order lines. This update affects only the line you are creating. Select Allow Item Description Update if you want Yes to be the initial default of the Allow Description Update attribute when you are defining a new item.
12. Select a Security Hierarchy, which is a position hierarchy from the Position Hierarchy window. When the Security Level is set to Hierarchy for a document in the Document Controls window, this position hierarchy governs access security for the document.
Attention: This field is enterable only when the form is accessed from the Purchasing menu.
13. Select Enforce Buyer Name to enforce entry of only your name as the buyer on purchase orders. Otherwise, you can enter the name of any active buyer.
14. The PO Output Format selection defines the output format for purchase orders sent to the supplier using print, e-mail, or fax. It also enables functionality related to that output format.
PDF: Purchase orders are output in the Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF). You can view the purchase order fully formatted from the Enter Purchase Order window, Purchase Order Summary window, Change History page, Oracle iProcurement, and Oracle iSupplier Portal. You can also communicate the purchase order to the supplier from the Purchase Order Summary window.
Text: Purchase orders are output in text.
Note: Your ability to communicate the purchase order to the supplier from the Approval window remains the same with either setting. Only the formatting of the output changes.
15. Select Enforce Supplier Hold if you do not want to be able to approve purchase orders created with suppliers that are on hold. Use the Suppliers window to place suppliers on hold.
Note: Even if you put a supplier on hold in the Suppliers window, you can still approve a purchase order to that supplier if Enforce Supplier Hold is not checked here.

16. If you have selected Gapless Invoice Numbering for the entire business unit or for a specific supplier site, enter the SBI Buying Company Identifier, which is an identifier included in the invoice number created by the Pay on Receipt process. This portion of the invoice number identifies the buying business unit and for invoices is combined with the prefix defined by the PO: ERS Invoice Number Prefix profile.
17. Select Gapless Invoice Numbering to enable gapless (no breaks in numbering) invoice number generation for your buying organization during Pay on Receipt processing.
 Defining Document Default Options: To define default options:
1. Navigate to the Default tabbed region in the Purchasing Options window.
2. Select one of the following Requisition Import Group By options for requisitions imported through the requisition open interface: All (not grouped), Buyer, Category, Item, Location, or Supplier.
3. Select the currency Rate Type that defaults on requisitions, purchase orders, RFQs, and quotations. If the Rate Type is User, you can override this default for each document line. If either your functional currency (defined in your set of books) or your transaction currency (the currency you enter in a purchasing document window) is Euro (the European Monetary Unit currency), and the other is another European currency, Purchasing defaults in the appropriate conversion Rate Type, Rate, and Rate Date.
4. Enter the Minimum Release Amount that defaults on blanket, contract, and planned purchase orders. This amount is in your functional currency.
5. Select the Price Break Type that defaults on blanket purchase orders:
Cumulative: Price breaks apply to the cumulative quantity on all release shipments for the item.
Non-cumulative: Price breaks apply to quantities on individual release shipments for the item.
6. Select the Price Type that defaults on purchase orders. Use the Lookup Codes window to define price types.
7. Enter the Quote Warning Delay. This is the number of days before a quotation expires that you want to receive an expiration warning. When a quotation is due to expire within the number of days you provide here, you receive the following message in the Notifications Summary window: Quotations active or approaching expiration: [number]. 8. Select RFQ required to require an RFQ for an item before you can

autocreate the corresponding requisition line onto a purchase order. You can override this value for each item or requisition line.
9. Enter the Receipt Close tolerance percentage for your shipments. Purchasing automatically closes a shipment for receiving if it is within the receiving close tolerance at the receiving close point. Set the receiving close point in the Control Options window. You can override this option for specific items and orders.
10. Enter the Invoice Close tolerance percentage for shipments. Purchasing automatically closes a shipment for invoicing if it is within the invoicing close tolerance at billing, when Payables matches invoices to purchase orders or receipts. You can override this option for specific items and orders.
11. Select a default Line Type for requisition, RFQ, quotation, and purchase order lines. When you create any of these documents, the line type is part of your item information. You can override the line type for each document line.
Attention: This field is enterable only when the form is accessed from the Purchasing menu.
12. Select one of the following options for Match Approval Level:
Two-Way: Purchase order and invoice quantities must match within tolerance before the corresponding invoice can be paid.
Three-Way: Purchase order, receipt, and invoice quantities must match within tolerance before the corresponding invoice can be paid.
Four-Way: Purchase order, receipt, inspection, and invoice quantities must match within tolerance before the corresponding invoice can be paid.
Note: The Invoice Match Option in the purchase order Shipments window and the Match Approval Level here are independent options. The Invoice Match Option determines whether Payables performs invoice matching to the purchase order or the receipt. You can perform whichever Invoice Match Option you want on a shipment regardless of the Match Approval Level you choose here.
 Defining Receipt Accounting Options: To define receipt accounting options:
1. Navigate to the Receipt Accounting tabbed region in the Purchasing Options window.
2. Choose one of the following Accrue Expense Items options:
At Receipt: Accrue expense items upon receipt. You can override this flag in the Shipment Details window when you are entering purchase orders and releases.

Period End: Accrue expense items at period end.
Attention: When using Cash Basis Accounting, you should set this option to Period End, but you will not normally run the Receipt Accrual - Period End process.
3. For Accrue Inventory Items, you currently have only one choice: On Receipt.
4. Enter the default Expense AP Accrual Account.
5. An offset is an accounting entry that is created to offset, or balance, another accounting entry. Automatic Offset Method is the method used to automatically create the account for the offsetting transaction. Here the offsetting account is the Receiving Inspection Account, which offsets the Accrual Account transaction at the time of receipt and the Charge Account at the time of delivery. The Automatic Offset Method controls which of the two accounts are used as the base account and which as the overlay account, as well as which segment is used to overlay the base account segment.
Choose one of the following Automatic Offset Method options:
None: No substitutions are made and the Receiving Inspection account for the destination organization is used.
Balancing: The base account is the Receiving Inspection Account for the destination organization and the balancing segment is overlaid with the balancing segment of the Charge Account.
Account: The base account is the Charge Account and the account segment is overlaid with the account segment of the Receiving Inspection Account.
 Defining Numbering Options:
Purchasing numbers requisitions, purchase orders, quotations, and RFQs within operating units in a Multi-Org setup. So, for example, Purchasing allows the same requisition number to be used by different operating units.
Purchasing also numbers receipts within inventory organizations rather than across inventory organizations. So, for example, the same receipt number could be used by different inventory organizations. To define numbering options for your documents:
1. Navigate to the Numbering tabbed region in the Purchasing Options window.
2. Select the [Document] Number Entry method for RFQ, quotation, purchase order, and requisition numbers:

Automatic: Purchasing automatically assigns a unique sequential number to each document when you create the document.
Manual: You provide a document number manually when you enter the document.
Attention: You can change the method of entering document numbers at any time. If you originally allow manual entry and switch to automatic entry, make sure to enter a Next Number that is higher than the highest number you assigned manually.
3. Select the [Document] Number Type you want Purchasing to use for RFQ, quotation, purchase order, and requisition numbers: Numeric or Alphanumeric.
Attention: If you choose Automatic document number entry, you can generate only numeric document numbers, but you can still import either numeric or alphanumeric values from another purchasing system.
Attention: If you import purchasing documents from a foreign system that references alphanumeric numbers, you must choose Alphanumeric as your number type, regardless of your numbering method.
If you choose Manual document number entry, you can choose numeric or alphanumeric numbers. You can change the document number type from Numeric to Alphanumeric whenever you want. You can change the document number type from Alphanumeric to Numeric only if all your current document numbers are numeric.
Attention: The ordering of numeric values in lists of values can appear random when you use the Alphanumeric number type. If you are using Alphanumeric numbering, consider entering all numeric values with the same number of digits. For example, if you can assume all numeric values contain six digits, you should enter the first value as 000001.
Attention: You should setup the numbering type to be the same in all operating units in which you are planning to create and enable global agreements.
4. Enter the Next Number. This is the starting value you want Purchasing to use for generating unique sequential document numbers if you choose Automatic document number entry. Purchasing displays the next document number that will be used for a new document when you create the new document. You cannot enter this field if you choose Manual document number entry.
If you use Master Scheduling/MRP, Inventory, Work in Process, or any non-Oracle system to create requisitions automatically, you must also let Purchasing number the corresponding requisitions automatically.
5. Save your work.

Use the Receiving Options window to define options that govern receipts in your system. Most of the options that you set here can be overridden for specific suppliers, items, and purchase orders.
Receivable Options
N: Setup > Organizations > Receivable Options
To define receiving options:
1. Navigate to the Receiving Options window from the menu.
2. Enter the maximum acceptable number of Days Early and Days Late for receipts.
3. Enter the Action for Receipt Date Control. This field determines how Purchasing handles receipts that are earlier or later than the allowed number of days selected above. Choose one of the following options:
None - Receipts may exceed the allowed days early or late.
Reject - Purchasing does not permit receipts outside the selected number of days early or late.
Warning - Purchasing displays a warning message but permits receipts outside the selected number of days early or late.

4. Enter the maximum acceptable over-receipt Tolerance percentage.
5. Enter the Action for Over receipt Quantity Control. This field determines how Purchasing handles receipts that exceed the quantity received tolerance. Choose one of the following options:
None - Receipts may exceed the selected tolerance.
Reject - Purchasing does not permit receipts that exceed the selected tolerance.
Warning - Purchasing displays a warning message but permits receipts that exceed the selected tolerance.
6. Check Allow Substitute Receipts if you want to receive substitute items in place of ordered items. You must define substitute items in the Item Relationships window before you can receive them. You can override this option for specific suppliers, items, and orders.
7. Check Allow Unordered Receipts if you want to receive unordered items. You can later match the unordered receipts to a purchase order. If you enable this option, you can override it for specific suppliers and items.
8. Check Allow Express Transactions to enable express deliveries and receipts.
9. Check Allow Cascade Transactions to enable cascading for receipts and receiving transactions.
10. Select Allow Blind Receiving if you want blind receiving at your site. Blind receiving helps you ensure that receivers record the exact amount they receive. With blind receiving, you cannot see the quantity due or the quantity ordered for shipments when you receive items. Purchasing ignores all quantity receipt tolerances to help ensure that you can receive the exact amount the supplier shipped.
11. Select Validate Serial Numbers on RMA Receipts if you want serial numbers validated. Restricts serial numbers displayed in the list of serial numbers for an RMA line.
12. Enter the default Receipt Routing that you assign goods: Direct Delivery, Standard Receipt, or Inspection Required. You can override this option at receipt time by changing the destination type for specific suppliers, items, and orders if the RCV: Allow Routing Override user profile is set to Yes.
13. Enter the Enforce Ship-To-location option to determine whether the receiving location must be the same as the ship-to location. Choose one of the following options:
None - The receiving location may differ from the ship-to location.

Reject - Purchasing does not permit receipts when the receiving location differs from the ship-to location.
Warning - Purchasing displays a warning message but permits receipts when the receiving location differs from the ship-to location.
14. Choose an action for ASN Control. This field determines how Purchasing handles receiving against purchase order shipments for which an Advance Shipment Notice (ASN) exists. Choose one of the following options.
None - Purchasing does not prevent or warn you when you try to receive against a purchase order shipment for which an ASN exists.
Reject - Purchasing gives you a message and prevents you from receiving against a purchase order shipment for which an ASN exists.
Warning - Purchasing gives you a message informing you that an ASN exists for the purchase order shipment and lets you decide whether to receive against the purchase order shipment or its ASN.
15. Enter the default RMA Receipt Routing that you assign goods: Direct Delivery, Standard Receipt, or Inspection Required.
16. Choose the Entry method for receipt numbers.
Automatic: Purchasing automatically assigns a unique sequential number to each receipt when you create the receipt.
Manual: You provide a receipt number manually when you enter the receipt.
Purchasing numbers receipts within inventory organizations rather than across inventory organizations. So, for example, the same receipt number could be used by different inventory organizations.
Attention: You can change the method of entering receipt numbers at any time. If you originally allow manual entry and switch to automatic entry, make sure to enter a Next Number that is higher than the highest number you assigned manually.
17. Choose the receipt number Type you want Purchasing to use for receipt numbers: Numeric or Alphanumeric.
Attention: If you choose Automatic receipt number entry, you can generate only numeric receipt numbers, but you can still import either numeric or alphanumeric values from another purchasing system.
Attention: If you have any alphanumeric documents in your system, you must choose Alphanumeric as your number type, regardless of your numbering method.

If you choose Manual receipt number entry, you can choose numeric or alphanumeric numbers. You can change the receipt number type from Numeric to Alphanumeric whenever you want. You can change the receipt number type from Alphanumeric to Numeric only if all your current receipt numbers are numeric.
Attention: The ordering of numeric values in lists of values can appear random when you use the alphanumeric number type. If you are using Alphanumeric numbering, consider entering all numeric values with the same number of digits. For example, if you can assume all numeric values contain six digits, you should enter the first value as 000001.
18. Enter the Next Receipt Number. This is the starting value you want Purchasing to use for generating unique sequential receipt numbers if you choose Automatic receipt number entry. Purchasing displays the next receipt number that will be used for a new receipt when you create the new receipt. You cannot enter this field if you choose Manual receipt number entry.
19. Enter the accounting flexfield for the default Receiving Accrual Account.
20. Enter the account number for the Retroactive Price Adjustment Account. This is the account that receiving will use to post an adjusting entry for changes in pricing after a shipment has been received and accrued.
21. Enter the account number for the Clearing Account. This is the account that is used for intercompany receivables in the procuring organization when the receiving organization is not the same as the procuring organization.
22. Save your work.

You can associate multiple approval groups with a single document type/job or position combination. Whenever you associate two or more approval groups with a single document type/job or position combination, Purchasing uses the most restrictive rule to evaluate authorization limits.
Attention: While individual approval groups do not require an enabling Account Range Include rule, every document type for each job/position must be associated with at least one approval group with this characteristic. Otherwise, employees in the associated job or position will be unable to approve this document type.
If no approval groups are associated with a particular document type for a given job or position, then employees assigned to this job or position will be unable to approve documents of this type.

8. Save item information and close
5. Entering Supplier Information
Define suppliers to record information about individuals and companies from whom you purchase goods and services, and also to record information about employees whom you reimburse for expense reports. If your supplier does business from multiple locations, you store supplier information only once, and enter supplier sites for each location. Different supplier sites can function as pay sites, purchasing sites, RFQ only sites, or procurement card sites. For example, for a single supplier, you can buy from several different sites and send payments to several different sites. Most supplier-level information automatically defaults to all supplier sites to facilitate supplier site entry. However, you can override these defaults and have unique information for each site.

The system uses information you enter for suppliers and supplier sites to provide default values when you later enter transactions for a supplier site. Most information you enter at the supplier level used only to provide defaults at the supplier site level. When the system enters that information in a later transaction, it only uses supplier site information as a default, even if the supplier site value is null and the supplier has a value. If you update information at the supplier level, existing supplier sites are not updated.
Users with the Supplier Profile Administrator responsibility can access and use the Suppliers page to define and manage supplier information. This information is managed by iSupplier Portal. Supplier users who have the Supplier Profile Management or the iSupplier Portal Full Access responsibility, can access their own external profile information (information not internal to the buying organization) and in many cases update their information (for example, address or contact information). Any change performed by a supplier user is subject to approval by a buyer administrator.

IV. Purchasing Process
Go to IVAS PURCHASING
Requisition to Standard Purchase Order:
1. Requisitions
With on-line requisitions, you can centralize your purchasing department, source your requisitions with the best suppliers, and ensure that you obtain the appropriate management approval before creating purchase orders from requisitions. You can use Master Scheduling/MRP to generate on-line requisitions automatically based on the planning requirements of your manufacturing organization. You can use Inventory to generate on-line requisitions based on replenishment requirements. You can use Work in Process to generate on-line requisitions for outside processing requirements. Finally, you can use Purchasing to create internal requisitions, which are handled as internal sales orders and are sourced from your inventory rather than from outside suppliers like purchase requisitions.
Step: 1 Requisition
Entering Requisition Headers
Use the Requisitions window to:

Enter internal and purchase requisitions. Your approval and security setup options determine which types of requisitions you can enter.
Take approval actions on individual requisitions online.
N: Requisitions > Requisitions
To enter requisition header information:
1. Navigate to the Requisitions window from the menu, by selecting the New button in the Find Requisitions and requisitions summary windows, or by selecting the Requisitions button in the Order Pad of the Supplier Item Catalog.
The upper part of the Requisitions window has the following display-only fields:
o Preparer - Your employee name from the Application User window.
o Status - The requisition status:
o Incomplete - The requisition is incomplete, or the preparer has not yet submitted the requisition to an approver.
o Rejected - The approver rejected the requisition.

o Returned - A buyer rejected the requisition. Purchasing returns to the preparer all requisition lines within the same requisition that are not on a purchase order.
o Total - The currency code and the base currency total amount of all lines in this requisition.
2. Select the Operating Unit for this requisition.
3. Enter a unique Requisition number. If automatic requisition number generation is active, the cursor does not enter this field and the number is generated when you save your work.
4. Choose the Requisition Type:
o Purchase Requisition - The requisition lines are usually satisfied from an outside supplier by means of a purchase order.
o Internal Requisition - The requisition lines are usually satisfied from inventory by means of an internal sales order.
Entering Requisition Lines:
Use the Items tabbed region in the Requisitions window to enter requisition line information.

You can choose a predefined item or you can an enter an item without an item number.
To enter requisition line information:
1. Navigate to the Lines tabbed region in the Requisitions window.
2. Enter a line Type for the requisition line. Line types help you define how you want to categorize your items. The default for this field is the Line Type from the Purchasing Options window. If you change this line type, defaults from the Line Types window appear in the Category, UOM and Price fields, and the cursor moves to the Category field.
For purposes of requisition line entry, line types are handled in three classes: amount- based, quantity-based, and outside processing. The defaults that appear when you enter a line type are cleared if you change the line type to a different class. Once you have committed a line, you can change the line type only to another line type of the same class.
If Oracle Services Procurement is implemented, you can also select a fixed price service line type. If you select the fixed price service line type the Item, Quantity, UOM, and Price fields are not available for update.
3. For quantity-based line types and outside processing line types, enter the Item you want to request. Purchasing displays defaults for purchasing category, item description, unit of measure, and unit price for this item.
4. Enter the Revision (if any) that corresponds to the item you want to order.
5. Enter the purchasing Category. You cannot change the category if you provide an item number in the Item field.
6. Enter the item Description to explain the item in further detail. When you enter an item number, Purchasing displays the item description from the Items window. You can change this description only if the Allow Description Update attribute for the item is enabled.
7. Enter the unit of measure (UOM) you want to use for your requisition line. If you enter an item number, Purchasing defaults the unit of measure for this item. If you change this value, the quantity is rounded again if appropriate, and the price is recalculated. If you enter a line type that is amount based, Purchasing uses the unit of measure that you assigned to that line type in the Line Types window. You cannot change the unit of measure of amount based items.
8. Enter the Quantity you want to request for the item. You can enter decimal quantities, but you must enter a value greater than 0.
You can use the Catalog button to get price breaks for different quantities from catalog quotations or blanket purchase agreements.
If Quantity Rounding is enabled, Purchasing either displays the rounded quantity you should have entered in a warning message or it updates the quantity to the appropriate rounded quantity. The rounding is based on the Unit of Issue (or primary unit of measure if the Unit of Issue is not defined) and the Rounding Factor defined for the item in Inventory. Rounding is up or down to the nearest whole Unit of Issue/primary unit of measure using the rounding factor.

Enter the unit Price for the item. You can enter the price in decimal format. You must enter a value greater than or equal to 0. If you enter an item number, Purchasing defaults a price for this item, but you can change this value. Your price may change if you enter a suggested supplier and a source document later.
Unit prices are in the functional currency. If you need to enter a foreign currency, see the instructions below.
If you create a requisition line for an amount based line type, Purchasing sets the price to 1, and you cannot change it.
9. Enter the Need By date and time for the requested items. This is required only for planned items. You must enter a date greater than or equal to the requisition creation date.
The Charge Account is rolled up from a single distribution after the distribution is created. If more that one distribution is created for the line, Multiple is displayed.
The lower part of the screen below the Lines tabbed region consists of optional fields for which the default can be set in the Requisition Preferences window.
If Oracle Services Procurement is implemented and you have selected a fixed price based line type, enter the Amount.
10. Enter the Destination Type:
o Expense - The goods are delivered to the requestor at an expense location. The destination sub inventory is not applicable.
o Inventory - The goods are received into inventory upon delivery.
o Shop Floor - The goods are delivered to an outside processing operation defined by Work in Process. Purchasing uses this option for outside processing items. If Enterprise Asset Management is installed, you can use this destination for one- time (description based) and non-stocked items to be delivered to a maintenance work order location.
11. Enter the name of the employee who is requesting the item. You must provide a Requestor before you can approve the requisition. The default is the requisition preparer.
12. Enter the Organization.
13. Enter the delivery Location for the requested items. Purchasing defaults the deliver-to location that you assign to the employee in the Enter Person window. You must provide a deliver-to location before you can approve the requisition. Before the source of the line can be Inventory, the deliver-to location must be linked to a customer address in the Customer Addresses window.
14. Enter the Sub inventory. This field applies only when the Destination Type is Inventory.
15. Enter the Source type. The source type determines the source of the requisitioned items. The choice you have in this field is dependent on the PO: Legal Requisition Type profile option. You may be able to use either the Inventory or the Supplier source type, or both types.

Note that if you have both options, you can source requisition lines independently of the document type. You can even mix inventory and supplier sourced requisition lines in the same requisition. Purchasing creates one internal sales order for all inventory source type requisition lines on this requisition. The supplier source type requisition lines are placed onto purchase orders with the AutoCreate Documents window.
Even if you are restricted to one type, Purchasing restricts the source type as appropriate for the item. If you are restricted to Inventory but you are requesting a Supplier item (Purchased Item attribute - Yes, Internal Ordered Item attribute - No), the source type can be only Supplier. Conversely, if you are restricted to Supplier requisitions and you ask for an Inventory item (Purchased Item attribute - No, Internal Ordered Item attribute - Yes), the source type can be only Inventory. This is allowed because a requestor may not know the item source type.
For Inventory source type lines, you can enter a default Organization and Sub inventory. If you specify a sub inventory for an internal requisition line, Order Management reserves the goods and uses only the specified sub inventory for allocation. If the goods do not exist at the specified sub inventory, Order Management backorders them, even if they do exist in another sub inventory.
You can not enter an internal order for an Oracle Services Procurement fixed priced service requisition line type.
16. For the Supplier source type, enter the suggested Supplier, Supplier Site, Contact, and Phone. For the Inventory source type, enter the Organization and Sub inventory.
17. If Oracle Process Manufacturing (OPM) application is installed and implemented, you are a process manufacturing user, and the selected purchasing organization is a process organization, then the process fields are enabled. The three process fields are Secondary UOM, Secondary Quantity, and Grade.
18. Save your work. If you save a requisition line without entering a distribution, Purchasing tries to generate a distribution line for you, using the Account Generator based on the information you have entered. If you want your distribution account numbers to be generated based on project information, you must enter project information in the Requisition Preferences or Requisition Distributions windows before committing the distribution line.

5. If you copied this quotation from an existing RFQ, Purchasing displays the corresponding RFQ number, which you can override.
You can also manually provide an RFQ number. Purchasing verifies the supplier and supplier site you provide and lets you choose from a corresponding list of RFQs. If you want to enter a quotation as a response to an RFQ for a supplier you did not provide on the RFQ supplier list, you need to modify the RFQ supplier list first. If you change the supplier or supplier site information on this quotation after you enter an RFQ number, Purchasing removes the RFQ number, and you must re-enter it.

If you enter the number of an RFQ for which you already entered a response for this supplier and supplier site, Purchasing displays a warning message but permits your entry.
Attention: If you are entering a quotation that is a response to an RFQ you previously sent to the supplier, you need to provide this RFQ number to indicate to Purchasing that the supplier responded.
6. Enter the Supplier for this quotation. When you enter a supplier name, Purchasing uses the default terms, conditions, and currency information for this supplier in the Quotation Terms and Currency windows. The list of values displays the supplier name, number, Tax ID number, and VAT number.
7. Enter the supplier Site for this quotation. You do not need to provide a supplier site for a quotation. When you enter a supplier site, Purchasing uses the default terms, conditions, and currency information for this supplier site in the Quotation Terms and Currency windows.
8. Enter a supplier Contact for this quotation.
9. Enter the Ship-To and Bill-To locations for the items on the quotation.
10. Use the Status field to control the status of the quotation:
o In Process - The initial status when you create the quotation. Purchasing sends you notifications that the quotation is awaiting completion.
o Active - Choose this status when the quotation is complete and you are ready to approve it. Only Active quotations can be approved.
o Closed - When you enter a quotation, you provide an expiration date for it. Purchasing sends you a notification when the quotation approaches expiration using the warning delay you provided in the quotation header. You can manually close the quotation to acknowledge the notification. If you do not acknowledge the notification by closing the quotation, the status of your quotation is still Active. You cannot use Closed quotation information on purchase orders.
11. Enter the Supplier Quote number.
12. Select Approval Required to indicate that approval is required to purchase goods based on this quotation.
13. The Response Date is the date you actually received the quotation. Purchasing defaults today's date as the response date, but you can change this date.
14. Enter the beginning and ending Effective Dates for the quotation.

Go to Tools > Copy Document
Select the Document Type as Standard Purchase Order and click on Ok

Click on Ok
To copy documents:
1. Query the document you want to copy from the Purchase Orders, Purchase Order Summary, or Quotations windows.
2. With the document selected, choose Copy Document from the Tools menu.
The source document type and number is displayed in the From region of the Copy Document window. If you are copying a global agreement the Global checkbox will be checked.
3. Select an eligible To Document Type.

You can change the To Document Type only if you're copying from a bid class quotation, a blanket purchase agreement, or a contract purchase agreement.
If you select a blanket purchase agreement or a contract purchase agreement and the from document is a global agreement you can not change the Global box.
4. Select other document options if needed.
Document Number: Enter a document number only if you use manual numbering. If you use automatic numbering, a document number will be created for you after you choose OK. You cannot use the Copy Documents window to modify documents by copying from one document to another with the same document number.
Copy Attachments: Check this box to copy an attachment from any level of the document.
Copy Blanket Price to RFQ: Check this box to copy the purchase price to the target price when copying a blanket agreement to an RFQ (request for quotation).
5. If Oracle Procurement Contracts is implemented you can select the source for Contract Terms (copy clauses and deliverables):
o Copy Latest Clauses from Library: Check this box to copy the most recent version of clauses from the library.
o Copy Current Clauses from Document: Check this box to copy the clauses as they exist in the from document.
o Do Not Copy Contract Terms: Check this box to copy the document with no contract terms.
6. Choose OK.
Purchasing creates and displays the new document. A copied document has similar restrictions regarding modifications as a new document that has been saved. The document is an exact copy of the original except for the Promised By and Need By dates; if these dates are past dates, they change to today's date on the new document. Effectively dates, if any, do not change.
If you use encumbrance accounting, GL dates are not be copied and default as today's date on the new document.
If you are copying a cancelled document, the Note to Supplier field will be blank. This is because a cancelled document changes the Note to Supplier to an explanation that the document was cancelled. Therefore, when you copy the cancelled document, the Note to Supplier is left blank.
7. Modify the document if you need to.
When you copy a quotation to a purchase order, project and task information from the quotation, if any, is copied to the purchase order distribution when you create the distribution or save the purchase order. (This is because project information is

associated with the quotation line, but must be associated with the distribution on the purchase order.)
Information from the copied document overrides any information in the purchase order preferences, if you are copying to a purchase order.
8. Save and approve the document.
If information in the document you have just copied is invalid or outdated-for example, if a supplier or account is inactive or invalid-a message window appears after you choose Approve. Use this window to help you identify and correct invalid or outdated fields in the new document you're creating. You cannot approve the document until you update these fields appropriately.
Check the Purchase Order 8 has been created
Entering Purchase Order Shipments
Use the Shipments window to enter multiple shipments for standard and planned purchase order lines and to edit shipments that Purchasing automatically created for you. A purchase order shipment specifies the quantity, ship-to organization and location, date you want your supplier to deliver the items on a purchase order line, and country of origin for the items.

When you save your work, Purchasing creates distributions if sufficient valid default information is available and if there are no existing distributions.
Click on Shipments Button
To enter purchase order shipment information:
1. For standard and planned purchase orders, you can navigate to the Shipments window by selecting the Shipments button in the Purchase Orders window.
The first tabbed region in the Shipments window is the Shipments tabbed region. In addition to the enterable fields discussed in the following steps, this region displays the UOM, the Original Promise date (if the Promised date has already been changed, the original promised date is displayed here), the Charge Account, the line Amount, and a check box to indicate whether funds have been Reserved.
2. Enter the line Number for the shipment line. If you enter a new shipment line, Purchasing displays the next sequential line number available. You can enter any line number that does not already exist.
3. Enter the ship-to Organization. If you entered an item, you can pick only organizations in which the item is defined. If you entered a revision number on the purchase order line, then the item revision must also be defined in the organization. Note that you cannot update the organization once you have saved your work if the shipment has distributions.

4. Enter the Ship-To location for the shipment. You can pick any location that does not have an organization or any location whose organization matches the organization in the previous field.
5. Enter the Quantity (Amount, if using Oracle Services Procurement) for the shipment. This value must be greater than 0. The default is the quantity from the corresponding Purchase Order Line. If you decrease this quantity, Purchasing automatically defaults the quantity ordered of the next line to the total quantity that you have not yet placed on a shipment line. The UOM is displayed to the right of the Quantity.
6. Enter the date and time that the supplier Promised delivery of the items. This promised date is printed on the purchase order shipment. The default is from the Purchase Order Preferences window.
7. Enter the Need By date and time when the requestor needs the item. This date is printed on the purchase order if you do not enter a promised date. The default is from the Purchase Order Preferences window.
If you use Purchasing with Master Scheduling/MRP, you must provide a need-by date for purchase order shipments with Master Scheduling/MRP planned items. You must also provide a need-by date for Inventory planned.
8. Optionally choose or change the Note for Receiver.
The Note for Receiver is a note which will be displayed at the time of receipt for this shipment.
The Note for Receiver displayed here defaults from the requisition line that this purchase order was created from. Otherwise, this field is blank.
9. Optionally choose or change the Country of Origin.
The Country of Origin is the country in which an item is manufactured.
The Country of Origin displayed here defaults from the Approved Supplier List, if it is defined there. If not, it defaults from the supplier site in the Supplier Sites window. Otherwise, this field is blank. You can leave it blank or select a country.
If you do not know the originating country, you can enter or change the Country of Origin later on the receipt.
10. If you are a process manufacturing user and the Oracle Process Manufacturing (OPM) application is installed, then the Oracle Purchasing for Process Inventory functionality is enabled. If the selected purchasing organization is a process organization, then the three process fields the Secondary UOM, Secondary Quantity, and Grade are enabled. For more information on these fields
To display and enter more shipment information:
1. Select the More tabbed region in the Purchase Order Shipments window.

2. Enter the Receipt Close Tolerance percent for your shipments. Purchasing automatically closes a shipment for receiving if it is within the receiving closing tolerance at the receiving close point. You need to set the receiving close point in the Purchasing Options window.
3. Enter the Invoice Close Tolerance percent for your shipments. Purchasing automatically closes a shipment for invoicing if it is within the invoicing closing tolerance at billing, when Payables matches invoices to purchase orders or receipts
4. Select one of the following options for Match Approval Level:
o Two-Way: Purchase order and invoice quantities must match within tolerance before the corresponding invoice can be paid.
o Three-Way: Purchase order, receipt, and invoice quantities must match within tolerance before the corresponding invoice can be paid.
o Four-Way: Purchase order, receipt, accepted, and invoice quantities must match within tolerance before the corresponding invoice can be paid.
If you enter an item, a value for this field is defaulted. Select an Invoice Match Option:
o Purchase Order: Payables must match the invoice to the purchase order.
o Receipt: Payables must match the invoice to the receipt.
Choose Receipt if you want to update exchange rate information on the receipt or if you want your accounting to use exchange rate information based on the receipt date. (If you use Periodic Costing, you must match to the receipt to ensure accurate cost accounting.)
5. The Invoice Match Option defaults from the Supplier Sites window. You can change the Invoice Match Option on the shipment until you receive against the shipment.
6. Note: The Invoice Match Option and the Match Approval Level are independent options. You can perform whichever Invoice Match Option you want regardless of the Match Approval Level.
7. Select Accrue at Receipt to indicate that the items on this purchase order line accrue upon receipt. Inventory destined items always accrue upon receipt. For expense items, if the Accrue Expense Items flag in the Purchasing Options window is set to Period End, the items cannot accrue upon receipt, and you cannot change the shipment level default. If the Accrue Expense Items flag is set to At Receipt, the default is to accrue upon receipt, but you can change it to Period End.
Attention: If you are using Cash Basis Accounting, you should use the Purchasing Options window to set the Accrue Expense Items flag to Period End, and you should not select Accrue on Receipt in this window.
8. Select Firm to firm the purchase order shipment. Firm your purchase order when you want to indicate to Master Scheduling/MRP or your manufacturing application that it should not reschedule this shipment.
9. The VMI box will be checked if this item is under vendor managed inventory control. Likewise, the Consigned box will be checked if this is a supplier consigned item. See the Oracle Consigned Inventory and Vendor Managed Inventory Process Guide for details.

Save your work and close

To enter purchase order distribution information:
1. Navigate to the Distributions window by selecting the Distributions button in the Shipments window. The Shipments window is accessed from the Purchase Orders window. You begin in the Destination tabbed region.
2. Enter the line Number for the distribution line. If you enter a new distribution line, Purchasing displays the next sequential line number available. You can enter any line number that does not already exist.
3. The destination type determines the final destination of the purchased items. Choose one of the following options:
o Expense - The goods are delivered to the requestor at an expense location. The destination subinventory is not applicable.
o Inventory - The goods are received into inventory upon delivery. You can choose this option only if the item is stock enabled in the ship-to organization.
o Shop Floor - The goods are delivered to an outside processing operation defined by Work in Process. You can choose this option only for outside processing items.
4. Enter the Requestor and Deliver To location for this distribution. If the destination type is Inventory, you can also enter the Sub inventory.
5. Enter the Quantity (Amount, if using Oracle Services Procurement) of the purchase order shipment that you want to charge to the Accounting Flexfield. The default value comes from the quantity you enter in the Shipments window. If you decrease the default quantity, Purchasing automatically defaults on the next distribution line the total quantity you have not yet assigned to a distribution line.
6. Enter the purchasing accounts. When you save your changes in this window, Purchasing uses the Account Generator to automatically create the following accounts for each distribution:
o Charge: the account to charge for the cost of this item in the purchasing operating unit
o Accrual: the AP accrual account in the purchasing operating unit
o Variance: the invoice price variance account in the purchasing operating unit
o Destination Charge: the account to charge for the cost of this item in the destination operating unit
o Destination Variance: the invoice price variance account in the destination operating unit
Note: The last two accounts are created only if the receiving destination operating unit is different than the purchasing operating unit and there is a transaction flow defined between the two organizations.
If you are using encumbrance control, Purchasing also creates the following account for each distribution:
o Budget: the encumbrance budget account
The Account Generator creates these accounts based on predefined rules. See: If the destination type is Expense and you are charging an account in your operating unit, the default charge account you enter in the Purchases Order Preferences window

overrides the charge account supplied by the Account Generator. You can update the defaulted charge account.
For outside processing lines, the cursor does not enter this field during initial entry, since the Account Generator cannot build accounts until you have entered the Resource Sequence in the Outside Processing window.
For Oracle Public Sector customers using the automatic offset accounting feature the Charge Account will reflect the receiving inspection account based on the Receipt Accounting setting in the Purchasing Options window. Override the tax Recovery Rate for taxable items.
The recovery rate is the percentage of tax that your business can reclaim for credit. The recovery rate is based on the information on purchase order Shipments window and the setup in Oracle E-Business Tax.
You can change the recovery rate if the profile option eBTax: Allow Override of Recovery Rate is set to Yes. Depending on the setup in Oracle E-Business Tax, only certain recovery rates may be allowed.
You can choose to use a different recovery rate for different distributions, even if they use the same set of applicable tax.
For an overview of tax in Purchasing.
7. Enter the GL Date you want to use when you reserve your funds. You can enter a GL Date only if you set up your financials system options to use encumbrance or budgetary control for purchase orders. The default is the current date.
If you enter a date that belongs to two separate accounting periods, Purchasing automatically creates a journal entry in the first accounting period that contains this date.
The Reserved check box indicates whether you successfully reserved funds for this purchase order distribution. You reserve your distribution when you approve your purchase order. You cannot change any purchase order distribution that you have already encumbered unless you explicitly unreserved the funds.

To enter a purchase order line:
1. Select the Lines tabbed region in the Purchase Orders window.
2. Enter the purchase line Number for the purchase order line. If you start a new purchase order line, Purchasing displays the next sequential line number available. You can accept this number or enter any line number that does not already exist. This number is used for all tabbed regions in the Purchase Orders window.
3. Enter the line Type for the item. When you create your purchase order line, you enter a line type as part of your item information. When you enter a line type, Purchasing automatically copies the corresponding defaults. You can change the line type after you have saved your work, if the change is in the same line type class, but Purchasing won't automatically copy the new defaults. If you change the line type before you save your work, Purchasing automatically copies the new defaults if the new line type is in a different line type class.
4. Enter the Item you want to purchase. If you enter an item, Purchasing displays the purchasing category, item description, unit of measure, and unit price associated with

the item. To create a purchase order line for a one-time item, simply skip the item number field and enter a purchasing category and an item description. If you are purchasing outside processing, you can enter only outside processing items.
Note that you cannot enter an outside processing item in a global agreement, regardless of the item's defining organization.

8. Enter the total Quantity you are ordering on the purchase order line.
9. Enter the UOM of the item. The unit of measure qualifies the quantity you enter on the purchase order line. When you choose a line type, its default unit of measure appears here. When you choose an item number, its unit of measure overrides the line type default. You can change the UOM until the item has been received, billed, or encumbered. If the line is sourced to a quotation or global agreement, you cannot change the UOM after the line has been saved.
10. Enter the unit Price for the item. If you choose an item, the default price is the list price for the item. Otherwise, the default price is from the line type. The Amount field displays the unit price multiplied by the quantity.
If you entered an item that is under automatic sourcing control the unit price will be displayed from the most current agreement available to Oracle Purchasing. Note: If you manually override the defaulted price, Oracle Purchasing does not recalculate the price when pricing related changes are made to the purchase order.

To enter receipt line information:

In the lower part of the screen, Purchasing displays the following detail information for the current shipment line: Order Type, Order number, the Supplier or internal organization shipping the item or the Customer returning the item, Due Date, Item Description, Hazard class, Destination, UN Number, Header Receiver Note (from order document header), Shipment Receiver Note, and Routing.
2. Select the line you want to receive.

If the line you select contains information in the ASN Type field, then an Advance Shipment Notice (ASN) exists for that shipment. (You can set an ASN Control option in the Receiving Options window to prevent you from receiving against a purchase order shipment for which an ASN exists.
If a material shortage exists for the item, a message appears. Displaying shortage messages for certain items is a setup option. From the message, you can view details of where in your organization the demand exists for the item. You can then make the item available with a high priority.
3. Purchasing displays the Quantity due for the shipment. If you change the unit of measure, the receipt quantity is adjusted to reflect the new unit of measure. You can override this value if you are recording a partial receipt or an over-receipt. Depending on your receiving options, Purchasing either ignores over-receipts, displays a warning message when you try to receive more items than you ordered, or prevents you from receiving quantities over your receipt tolerance. If you specify blind receiving at the system option level, Purchasing neither performs over-receipt checking nor displays a Quantity to Receive. If you have fully received a shipment, the receipt quantity displayed is zero, but over-receipt checking will reveal whether you have exceeded the over-receipt tolerance on this shipment.
The information described above applies to an ASN line as well as a purchase order shipment line.
The quantity received on the corresponding purchase order or return material authorization (RMA) is updated to reflect the received quantity.
4. Enter the UOM of the item you are receiving.
5. Enter the Destination Type: Receiving, Expense, Inventory, or Shop Floor. This determines the final destination of the received items.

8. Enter the Requestor.
