Oracle Purchasing builds the account number for the charge, accrual, and variance distribution accounts based on the Account Generator assignments that you define during implementation. You can define your Account Generator processes so that project-related requisitions and purchase orders use project-related information in the Account Generator assignments and non-project-related documents use the Account Generator assignments predefined by Oracle Purchasing.

If you are using Encumbrance Accounting, you can also define assignments for the budget account based on project information.

Oracle Payables builds the expense account number for project-related invoices using assignments that you define during implementation. You must enter the account number for non-project-related invoices. Oracle Payables determines the liability account for all invoices based on the liability account defaults provided by Oracle Payables.

You can control whether users can override the account number determined by the Account Generator for project-related distributions using the profile option PA: Allow Override of PA Distributions in AP/PO.

For example, you may want only the Purchasing Manager and Payables Manager to have the ability to override the project-related distributions. In this example, you set the profile to No at the Site level and to Yes for the Payables Manager and Purchasing Manager responsibilities.
