Oracle Receivables provides a comprehensive solution to managing the entire life cycle of bills receivable: creation, acceptance, remittance, updates, history, and closing.
A bill receivable is a document that your customer formally agrees to pay at some future date (the maturity date). The bill receivable document effectively replaces, for the related amount, the open debt exchanged for the bill. Bills receivable are often remitted for collection and used to secure short term funding.
Oracle Receivables treats a bill receivable as a separate transaction. You can create bills receivable individually through the Bills Receivable window, directly exchange a completed invoice for a bill receivable in the Transactions workbench, or create bills receivable in batch using the Bills Receivable Transaction Batches window or the Bills Receivable Batch Creation concurrent program. You can create signed, unsigned, and customer-issued (promissory note) bills receivable.
You can remit bills receivable to a bank or factoring company using the Remittances window. Choose to factor remittances with or without recourse. Optionally print bills receivable as supporting documentation for the bank or for your own records. Run the Bills Receivable Maturity and Risk program and report to apply receipts and eliminate risk on remitted bills factored with recourse. You can further automate the creation of a remittance batch by using the inbound API.
Use the Bills Receivable Portfolio Management window as an analysis tool and to record changes to a bills receivable transaction. You can:
Record customer acceptance of a bill receivable
Endorse a bill
Manage risk associated with factored bills
Mark a bill as unpaid or protested
Cancel a bill
Recall a bill from a remittance batch
Exchange one bill for another
Place or remove a bill on hold
View bill details, including the current status
View the life cycle of events for each bill
Utilize folder functionality to meet your analysis needs
You can also review bills receivable transactions using the Receipt workbench features.
To further automate the update of items not paid by a customer, you can choose to utilize the Unpaid Bills Receivable API.
Oracle Receivables offers several reports that are specific to bills receivable. You can send reminder letters for items that are pending customer acceptance, set up and review stamp values for tax authorities that require stamps, and review bills receivable creation and remittance batches. There are also two RXi reports that let you customize the report layout to suit your needs.
There are four methods in Oracle Receivables for exchanging transactions for bills receivable:
Manually, using the Bills Receivable window and the Assignments window.
Directly, by exchanging a transaction in the Transactions window for a bill receivable.
Automatically, by creating a bills receivable batch using the Bills Receivable Transaction Batches window.
Automatically, by submitting the Bills Receivable Batch Creation concurrent program in the Submit Request window.
When you create a bill receivable manually, you can assign and group transactions that have the same currency and exchange rate as the bill according to your own requirements.
When you create bills receivable automatically, you must assign transactions a bills receivable creation receipt method. Receivables collects and groups transactions into bills receivable based on selection criteria, currency, exchange rate, paying customer bank account, and the rules defined on the bills receivable creation receipt method.
The bills receivable transaction type assigned to the bill receivable determines if the bill is issued by the drawee (promissory note), requires drawee acceptance (signed bill), or does not require drawee acceptance (unsigned bill). The transaction type also determines the printing options for the bill.
Note: While a transaction is assigned to a bill receivable that is pending drawee acceptance, you cannot perform any activity on the transaction, such as applying receipts, credit memos, or adjustments.
After you exchange a transaction for a bill receivable, the transaction is reduced by the exchanged amount. Accounting for the bill receivable occurs:
when the bill receivable is accepted by the drawee
or
when a bill receivable that does not require acceptance is completed.
The initial accounting for a bill receivable is a debit to Bills Receivable and a credit to Accounts Receivable for each transaction exchanged. Receivables derives the Bills Receivable account segments from AutoAccounting and inherits the Accounts Receivable account segments from each transaction exchanged.
Use the Bills Receivable window to manually create a bill receivable and assign transactions to the bill. You can also query and update existing bills receivable in this window.
You can designate a maximum amount for the bill. If you do, then the total amount of the transactions assigned to the bill must equal the designated maximum amount in order to complete the bill. If you do not designate a maximum amount, Receivables calculates the amount of the bill as the sum of assigned amounts when you complete the bill.
The values for the Signed and Issued by Drawee boxes are derived from the bills receivable transaction and are displayed for reference only. Receivables updates the Acceptance Date and Acceptance GL Date when a bill that requires acceptance is accepted, and updates the Remittance Date and Remittance Batch when the bill is remitted.
After you enter general information to create the bill, you can:
Enter drawee and remittance bank information. See: Entering Bills Receivable Bank Account Information.
Assign transactions to the bill. See: Manually Assigning Transactions to a Bill Receivable and Using Selection Criteria to Assign Transactions to a Bill Receivable.
Complete the bill. See: Completing a Bill Receivable.
Accept a bill. See: Accepting a Bill Receivable.

Creating a Bills Receivable Remittance Batch
Use the Assignments window to manually assign transactions to a bill receivable, remove transactions from a bill receivable, and review assigned transactions. You can assign and unassign transactions to a bill until the bill is completed or, for bills that require acceptance, until the bill is accepted.
You can manually assign any class of transaction to a bill except guarantees. You can also assign a bill that has a status of Unpaid to a new bill receivable. See: Exchanging a Bill Receivable for a New Bill Receivable for more information.
By default, you can only assign transactions that belong to the drawee and its related customers. If you set the Receivables system option Allow Payment of Unrelated Transactions to Yes, you can assign transactions of unrelated customers.
You can assign full or partial transaction amounts to a bill. The unassigned portion of a transaction remains an open item. If you designated a maximum amount for the bill, you can only assign transactions up to the designated maximum amount. You cannot complete a bill receivable with a designated maximum amount until the bill is fully assigned.
Note: Bills receivable assignments follow the natural application rule, even though the individual transactions assigned to the bill may allow for overapplication.
You can only assign transactions that have the same currency as the bill receivable. Transactions assigned to the bill must share the same functional exchange rate. The bill inherits the exchange rate from the transactions assigned to it when you complete the bill. If you want to assign transactions with a different currency, you must uncheck any transactions already assigned to the bill and enter the new currency in the Currency field.
Navigate to the Bills Receivable window.
Query or enter a bill receivable.
Choose the Assignments button.
Enter a Transaction Number to assign to the bill. Receivables defaults the remaining amount due for the transaction in the Amount Assigned field and updates the Assigned total of the bill.
If a transaction has more than one installment, a separate row for each payment schedule due date is displayed.
Note: Receivables displays the billing invoice number only if you select the Show Billing Number system option check box.
If you want to assign a partial amount, update the Amount Assigned.
Check the Assign box to assign this transaction to the bill. Uncheck the box to unassign a transaction.
Save your work.
Repeat steps 4 to 7 for each transaction that you want to assign to the bill.
You can continue to assign and unassign transactions to the bill until it is completed or, for bills that require acceptance, until it is accepted.

Use the Quick Assign window to assign groups of transactions to a bill receivable. You can retrieve transactions using selection criteria based on customer drawee information, transaction information, and transaction classes.
You can automatically assign transactions that match your selection criteria, or preview the selected transactions in the Assignments window and manually assign each transaction. If the bill has a designated maximum amount, Receivables assigns transactions until the full amount of the bill is assigned.
Navigate to the Bills Receivable window.
Query or enter a bill receivable.
Choose the Quick Assign button.
Enter Customer selection criteria.
If the customer drawee for the bill has a bill-to address, the Customer Name defaults. Enter a Customer Name or Number to search only this customer's transactions. You can narrow the search further by choosing a Customer Location. Leave the Customer fields blank to include transactions for both the customer and related customers.
Note: For manually created bill receivables, if a customer drawee was previously assigned during creation, but you enter a different customer name in the Quick Assign window, then the search results will include transactions for both customers.
Enter Transaction selection criteria:
Transaction Receipt Method
Transaction Type
Range of transaction Due Dates
Range of transaction Dates
Range of transaction Numbers
Range of outstanding transaction Balances
Specify how to sort selected transactions by entering a Primary Sort Criteria. The default is Transaction Number. If the bill is in a currency other than your functional currency, and the currency is outside the EMU, then the default is Exchange Rate. You can sort in Ascending or Descending order by:
Exchange Rate
Balance Due
Due Date
Transaction Date
Transaction Number
If necessary, choose the Secondary Sort Criteria and sort in Ascending or Descending order.
In the Include region, indicate the transaction classes that you want to include in the search by checking or unchecking the appropriate boxes.
To automatically assign all transactions that match your selection criteria, choose the Assign button. To review the results of your selection criteria before assignment, choose the Preview button.
Update the transaction assignments in the Assignments window by checking or unchecking the Assign box. You can also update the Amount Assigned for each transaction.
To exchange a transaction for a bill receivable using the Bills Receivable Transaction Batches window, the Bills Receivable Batch Creation concurrent program, or the Exchange action in the Transactions window, you must update the transaction with a bills receivable creation receipt method. The currency, exchange rate, paying customer bank account, and the grouping rule assigned to the receipt method determine how transactions are grouped into bills receivable. To flag transactions for automatic or direct exchange into a bill receivable, you must assign each transaction a paying customer defined as a drawee, with a bills receivable creation receipt method.
A paying customer bank account on a flagged transaction acts as an additional grouping rule. Bills receivable transactions inherit the bank account entered on a flagged transaction if:
the drawee is also a bill-to site
and
the bills receivable creation receipt method does not have a grouping rule of One per Customer or One Per Customer Due Date.
If the grouping rule on the bills receivable creation receipt method is One per Customer or One per Customer Due Date, then the bills receivable transaction inherits the bank account only if:
the bank account is assigned to the primary drawee site
and
the primary drawee site is a bill-to site.
If the bank account on flagged transactions is not assigned to the primary drawee site, then Receivables creates the bills receivable transactions without a drawee bank account.
For transactions imported using AutoInvoice or entered manually, set the bills receivable creation receipt method as primary at the customer or customer bill-to site level, if you want to default the bills receivable creation receipt method to the transaction. If you also want to default the customer bank account, set the customer bank account as primary for the bill-to site.

Use the Bills Receivable Transaction Batches window or the Bills Receivable Batch Creation concurrent program to select and group transactions to exchange for bills receivable. Batching transactions lets you automatically generate bills receivable and assign transactions marked with bills receivable creation receipt methods to the bills.
When you submit a batch, Receivables runs the Bills Receivable Batch Creation concurrent program and prints the Automatic Transactions Batch report. The Automatic Transactions Batch report lists the bills receivable created from the batch and the transactions assigned to each bill. You can both print the report and submit the batch, or only print the report for review before submitting the batch. When you submit the batch, you can also print bills receivable if:
the bills receivable transaction type assigned to the batch source is for bills that require acceptance,
and
the transaction type contains a format program.
You cannot assign disputed transactions or other bills receivable to a bill using a bills receivable batch. If you are batching debit and credit memos with the payment term Immediate, Receivables includes these debit and credit memos in the first available bill receivable, without regard to the due date grouping rule assigned to the bill.
Note: The amounts of the debit and credit memos must still respect the maximum amount assigned to the bill, if there is one. If the sum of debit and credit memos assigned to a bill exceeds the maximum amount of the bill, Receivables excludes one or more debit/credit memos from assignment.
If only one transaction is exchanged for a bill receivable, then Receivables uses the transaction number as the bill number if:
The Inherit Transaction Number box is checked for the bills receivable creation receipt method assigned to the exchanged transaction, and
The transaction number is not already used by another transaction with the same batch source as the bill receivable.
If the Inherit Transaction Number box is not checked, or if the bill contains more than one transaction, then Receivables numbers bills receivable transactions according to the transaction batch source assigned to the batch.
Ordinarily, a bills receivable transaction batch source has the Automatic Transaction Numbering box checked. If you are using document sequences and the Copy Document to Transaction Number box is checked, then Receivables uses the document sequence number assigned to the bill as the bill receivable number.
A bills receivable batch has one of the following statuses after it is submitted:
Creation Started: The Bills Receivable Batch Creation concurrent program is running.
Creation Completed: The batch was successfully submitted and the Automatic Transactions Batch report was printed.
Draft: Only the Automatic Transactions Batch report was printed. You can query Draft batches to modify selection criteria, submit the batch, or delete the batch.
Navigate to the Bills Receivable Transaction Batches window.
Select an operating unit.
Enter or update the bills receivable transaction batch Source.
Receivables defaults the batch source from the AR: Bills Receivable Batch Source profile option, if there is one.
Enter a Batch Name if the batch source does not use automatic batch numbering. Otherwise Receivables assigns a name when you submit the batch.
Enter the Batch Date. The default is the current date.
Enter the batch GL Date.
Note: Bills that do not require acceptance inherit the GL date from the batch GL date. For bills that require acceptance, the GL date is derived when you enter an Acceptance GL date.
Enter the Issue Date for bills receivable created with this batch.
Enter a Maturity Date for bills receivable created with this batch (optional). The maturity date cannot be earlier than the issue date.
If you leave this field blank, Receivables derives the maturity date from the bills receivable creation receipt method.

Enter all required information for the bill.
Assign transactions to the bill. Transactions must have the same currency as the bill, and all transactions must have the same exchange rate.
Assign transactions up to the designated maximum amount of the bill, if applicable.
If the bill requires customer acceptance, completing the bill changes its status to Pending Acceptance. While a bill receivable has the status of Pending Acceptance, Receivables reserves the transactions that are assigned to the bill. When you receive written acceptance from the customer, you can update the bill using the Accept Bill button. See: Accepting a Bill Receivable for more information.
If the bill does not require customer acceptance, completing the bill changes its status to Pending Remittance. Receivables records the first accounting for the bill, the assignments reduce the amount due on the exchanged transactions, and the bill appears in the customer's outstanding balance.
If you are using document sequences, Receivables ignores the Document Number Generation Level system option and generates the document number when you complete the bill receivable. If you want the document number and bill receivable number to be the same, check the Copy Document Number to Transaction Number box in the bills receivable transaction batch source.
Navigate to the Bills Receivable window.

Creating a Bills Receivable Remittance Batch
Use the Stamp Values window to define ranges of bills receivable amounts and their corresponding stamp values. You must define bills receivable ranges and stamp values in the functional currency of your ledger.
Certain countries use stamps to provide legal protection for bills receivable. Depending on country requirements, you can purchase bills receivable stamps individually, as pre-stamped bills receivable documents, or as continuous-feed preprinted bills receivable.
The price of each stamp is based on the value of the bills receivable. The government normally publishes a listing of stamp prices for given ranges of bills receivable. For example, a stamp may cost 1,000 Spanish pesetas for bills receivable between 10,000 and 30,000 pesetas, and 2,000 pesetas for bills receivable between 31,000 and 60,000 pesetas, and so on.
After you define ranges of bills receivable amounts and their corresponding stamp values, you can use the Stamp Values report to determine the number and total cost of stamps required for a given bills receivable transaction batch.
Navigate to the Stamp Values window.
Select an operating unit.
In the From and To fields, enter the first range of bills receivable amounts.
Enter the Stamp Value that corresponds to this range of bills receivable amounts.
Repeat these steps for each bills receivable range and corresponding stamp value.
Important: Make sure that the bills receivable ranges do not overlap and that there are no gaps between ranges.
Use the Stamp Values report to review the number and amount of stamps that you must purchase for a given bills receivable batch. The report lists, for each bills receivable amount range, the number and total value of stamps required, with totals for the number of stamps and the stamp amount.
You can run the Stamp Values report before you print a bills receivable batch to determine how many stamps of each denomination you must purchase from your government shop.
Tip: If you are using preprinted bills receivable stationery or continuous-feed bills, you can divide your batches and/or print jobs based on ranges of values to match the preprinted stamp values.
Use the Standard Request Submission windows to submit the Stamp Values report.

Remit bills receivable to your remittance bank or other financial institution to initiate the collection process from your customers. Before remitting to a bank, you must create, approve, and format/print bills receivable using a remittance batch.
Receivables lets you record the following types of bills receivable remittances:
Standard remittances: You remit bills receivable to your bank, and the bank manages the collection process. On the bill receivable maturity date, the bank collects payment in full from your customers and transfers the funds directly to your bank account, less any fees or other charges. With standard remittances, you bear the financial risk of customer default.
Factored remittances: You remit bills receivable as collateral in return for cash advances or loans from your bank. Receivables creates a receipt for the bill receivable upon remittance. If the bill receivable is factored with recourse, you bear the financial risk of customer default, and Receivables records a short-term debt for the default risk. If the bill receivable is factored without recourse, the bank assumes the risk of customer default, and Receivables closes the bill upon creation of the receipt.
When you create a bills receivable remittance, the receipt class determines the remittance processes, and the bills receivable remittance receipt method that is assigned to the receipt class determines the accounting for the bills receivable. Receivables selects qualifying bills receivable for remittance and groups them according to the remittance bank that is assigned to each bill. You can specify additional selection criteria to limit the bills receivable that are selected for remittance. See: Creating a Bills Receivable Remittance Batch for more information about selecting bills receivable for remittance.
You can use one or both of these methods to create a bills receivable remittance:
Automatic method: Receivables selects bills receivable that meet selection criteria for a remittance batch.
Manual method: Receivables lets you review the bills receivable included in a batch and update the selections before creating the remittance batch.
Receivables creates a receipt for each bill receivable that is remitted to the bank. The remittance method for the remittance batch determines when a receipt is created. You create a receipt to record the accounting event of the expected fund transfer.
Standard remittances: Run the Bills Receivable Maturity and Risk program to create receipts and apply them to bills receivable, either at the maturity date plus the number of collection days or at the remittance date plus the number of collection days, whichever comes later. Receivables updates the status of the bill receivable to Closed when the receipt is applied to the bill receivable.
Factored remittances: Receivables creates a receipt when a remittance is approved. For bills receivable that are factored with recourse, the receipt is applied to short-term debt and the status of the bill is updated to Remitted. For bills receivable factored without recourse, the receipt is applied to the bill receivable upon remittance and the status of the bill is updated to Closed.
Note: If you want to use the bill receivable number as the receipt number, check the Receipts Inherit Transaction Numbers box when you define the receipt method for the bills receivable remittance.
The clearing method of the bills receivable receipt class determines when Receivables clears receipts and recognizes cash in the remittance process of bills receivable. You indicate a clearing method when you define the receipt class with a creation method of Bills Receivable Remittance. You enter the number of clearing days and risk elimination days when you define the bills receivable remittance receipt method assigned to the receipt class. Choose one of these clearing methods:
Directly: Receivables clears the receipt upon creation, and recognizes cash on the receipt date.
Automatic Clearing: Run the Automatic Clearing program to clear receipts on the receipt dates plus the number of clearing days. For standard remittances, the receipt date is either the maturity date plus the number of collection days or the remittance date plus the number of collection days, whichever comes later. For factored remittances, the receipt date is simply the remittance date.
By Matching: Use Oracle Cash Management to clear the receipt and reconcile cash to your bank statements.

In the Maintain Remittance Batch window, query a remittance batch that has not yet been approved and display the fields in the Bills Receivable window that are required by the bank. Use the Export function from the Tools menu to save the information of this batch to a file. The bank uses the information in the file to confirm and select bills receivable to include in the remittance batch.
Use the Import API to import data from bills receivable remittance batches that were confirmed by banks or created in another system. You can call the Import API through a feeder program or a customized user window. After importing the data into Receivables, you can create, approve, and format/print bills receivable remittance batches.
When you import data into Receivables, the Import API performs a set of validations to ensure that the Remittance Bank Number, the Remittance Bank Branch Number, and the Remittance Bank Account Number correspond to a valid remittance bank. The Import API validates these items:
Media Reference is unique and is used to identify a batch.
Remittance Method is either Standard or Factoring.
Receipt Method corresponds to a valid bills receivable remittance receipt method with a Remittance Bank Account assigned to it.
With Recourse Indicator is either Yes or No.
Remittance Date is a valid date.
Remittance GL Date is in an open or future period.
Remittance Currency is a valid currency.
CUSTOMER_TRX_ID, the internal reference number that Receivables uses to identify a bill receivable, is unique.

You can specify additional selection criteria to limit the bills that are selected for remittance.
Note: Bills receivable with the status Unpaid are eligible for selection if the Include Unpaid Status box is checked in the Criteria tabbed region.
Based on the remittance bank information of the batch, Receivables selects bills receivable that have:
the same remittance bank account as the remittance batch, and
no remittance bank account, and
a different bank account from that of the remittance batch, if the Allow Override box is checked for the remittance bank.
Note: You can change the batch remittance bank information after the remittance batch is created. However, you will receive a warning if the remittance bank of any bill receivable in the batch is different from the new remittance bank of the batch, unless the Allow Override box is checked on that bill receivable.
You can create a bills receivable remittance batch using the Auto Create method or the Manual Create method. Auto Create selects all bills receivable that meet the selection criteria of the batch. Manual Create gives you the option to review the bills receivable and change the bills selected before creating the batch.
There are three steps to creating a bills receivable remittance batch:
1. Create: Create a bills receivable remittance batch using the specified selection criteria.
2. Approve: Initiate the accounting event for the specific type of bills receivable remittance.
3. Format/Print: Format bills receivable remittance batches on magnetic media to send to your bank (or choose Print to print bills receivable on paper).
With either creation method (Auto Create or Manual Create) you can also create, approve, and format/print remittance batches in a single step.
You can track the progress of a bills receivable remittance batch by referring to the batch process status. Valid statuses are:
Started Creation
Started Approval
Started Format
Started Cancellation
Completed Creation
Completed Approval
Completed Format
Completed Cancellation
When you create a remittance batch, Receivables validates the status, currency, and remittance bank information of the bills receivable included in the batch. Receivables then selects bills receivable in maturity date order, starting with the earliest maturity date.
Note: Once a bill receivable is selected for a remittance batch, you cannot apply customer payments or other activities to the bill, or select the bill for another remittance batch.
Prerequisites
Define remittance bank accounts.
See: Bank Account Model Overview, Oracle Cash Management User Guide.
Define a receipt class with a creation method of bills receivable remittance, Oracle Receivables Implementation Guide.
Define bills receivable remittance receipt methods and assign bank accounts to receipt methods, Oracle Receivables Implementation Guide.
Set up document sequences (optional), Oracle Receivables Implementation Guide.
Navigate to the Remittances window. The Batch Type displayed is Remittance Bills Receivable. You cannot change the Batch Type.
Select an operating unit.
If your Receipt Source does not specify Automatic Batch Numbering, enter a unique Batch Name or number. Otherwise, Receivables assigns a number when you save. See: Receipt Sources, Oracle Receivables Implementation Guide.
Enter the Currency for this batch. The default is your functional currency, but you can change it. You can only group bills receivable with the same currency into a remittance batch.
Enter the Remittance and GL Dates. The default Remittance Date is the current date, but you can change it. The default GL Date is the current date. However, if the current date is not in an open period, then the default is the last date of the most recent open period. The GL Date must be in an open or future period. The GL Date determines when the remittance batch is posted to General Ledger.
If your format requires that you submit to the remittance bank printed bills receivable along with the magnetic transmission, check the Include Printed Bills Receivable box. This box is required if you are using the Spanish Bills Receivable CSB32 Template for the remittance.
Choose a Remittance Method. The default is Factoring. Choose Standard to remit this batch to the bank for collection of the bills receivable on maturity date; or choose Factoring to borrow money against the bills receivable before maturity date.
Note: If you choose Factoring, the With Recourse box is checked by default. Use this check box to indicate whether the bank has the right of recourse in the event a customer defaults on the bills receivable. The box is unchecked if you choose Standard.
Choose a Receipt Class. The list of values displays only receipt classes with a creation method of Bills Receivable Remittance and a Remittance Method for the batch. The receipt class determines the processing steps of the remittance.
Choose a Receipt Method. The list of values displays only receipt methods assigned to the Receipt Class with a Remittance Method for the batch. You can select only active receipt methods for remittances.
In the Media Reference field, enter your user-defined reference to include on a magnetic transmission of the remittance to the bank (optional).
Enter Remittance Bank information for this batch. You can only select a remittance bank that has bank accounts assigned to the receipt method selected for this remittance batch. The default is the primary remittance bank account of the receipt method, if the primary remittance bank account is in the same currency as that of the remittance batch.
Choose the Print Program. Receivables uses the Print Program for the print format on paper. The default is the print program that you selected for the remittance bank, with the remittance bank assigned to receipt method of this batch. You can override the default for this program.
Enter the Deposit Number reference to include in the magnetic transmission of the remittance batch (optional).
Enter any Comments about this batch.
Note: The Count and Amount fields display the number and total amount of bills receivable selected for this remittance batch. Receivables assigns a unique Request ID number for your concurrent request every time you run a task or tasks from the Remittance Batch Actions window. Use the Request ID to check the status of your remittance process in the View Requests window.
Open the Selection Criteria tabbed region, and enter selection criteria to create a remittance batch for specific bills receivable transactions or drawees (optional). Leave a field blank if you do not want to limit your query. See: Selection Criteria Tabbed Region Field Reference.
Choose the Auto Create button or the Manual Create button. If you choose the Auto Create button, go to step 18.
Manual Create lets you review, in the Maintain Remittance Batch window, bills receivable that meet the selection criteria of this batch. Check the Select box to include a bill receivable in the batch, or choose bills receivable from the list of values. See: Maintaining Bills Receivable Remittances.
Choose the Actions button.
In the Remittance Batch Actions window, check the boxes to perform the following tasks:
Create: Create a remittance batch of bills receivable. Receivables checks the Select box in the Bills Receivable Portfolio Management window to indicate that bills receivable were selected for a pre-approved remittance batch.
Cancel: Cancel a remittance batch that was not approved. This deselects bills receivable from the batch, making them available for inclusion in a different remittance batch.
Approve: Approve the remittance batch to initiate the accounting event that reclassifies the bills receivable that were selected for remittance. Depending on the remittance method, the status of the bills receivable is updated to Standard or Factored.
Format: Format the remittance batch using Oracle Payments.
Print Report: Print the Bills Receivable Remittance Batch Management report for this remittance batch. You can print a report for the remittance in any status. See also: Bills Receivable Remittance Batch Management Report.
Print Bills: Run the Print Program that you selected for this batch to print bills receivable on paper.
Tip: To create a bills receivable remittance, you need to Create, Approve, and Format/Print. You can perform all three tasks in one step.
Choose the OK button. Receivables generates a batch Name if your Receipt Source specifies Automatic Batch Numbering. Receivables displays the Process Status of your batch and a unique Request ID number for your concurrent request. Use the Request ID number to check the status of your remittance batch in the View Requests window.
Important: If your batch has a status of Started Creation and the concurrent process terminates, you must delete the batch and resubmit the bills receivable remittance creation process.
Tip: Use the Bills Receivable Remittance Batch management report to review the status of your bills receivable remittance batch.
Remittance Minimum Total: Enter a minimum amount for this remittance batch. Receivables does not create a remittance if the total amount of the selected bills receivable is less than the minimum total specified for the batch.
Remittance Maximum Total: Enter a maximum amount for this remittance batch. Bills receivable with the earliest maturity dates are selected first.
To ensure that the total amount of bills receivable is as close to the maximum total as possible, Receivables selects a bill receivable for inclusion in the batch if the bill maturity date is within the maturity date range of the batch, and if including the bill does not cause the remittance total to exceed the maximum amount.
Bills Receivable Transaction Type: Specify the bills receivable transaction types to include in the batch.
Bills Receivable Maturity Dates: Select bills receivable by a range of maturity dates.
Bills Receivable Numbers: Select bills receivable by a range of bill numbers.

Selecting Bills Receivable for Remittance
Use the Maintain Remittance Batch window to update the selection of bills receivable in a remittance batch. Once you are satisfied with the bills that are selected, you can submit a request to create, approve, and format/print the remittance.
You can select and deselect bills receivable for a remittance batch in the Maintain Remittance Batch window until the batch is approved. Depending on the remittance method, approving a remittance batch updates the status of the bills receivable from Pending Remittance to either Remitted or Factored. Use the Bills Receivable Portfolio Management window to manage bills receivable remittances after they are approved.
You navigate to the Maintain Remittance Batch window from the Remittances window. There are two ways to navigate to the Maintain Remittance Batch window:
Query an existing unapproved remittance batch in the Remittances window and then choose Maintain,
or
Enter new remittance batch information in the Remittances window and then choose Manual Create.

Choose Bills Receivable Numbers from the list of values. You can only query bills receivable that have the same currency and remittance bank as the remittance batch, unless the Allow Override box is checked for the remittance bank.
Check the Select box to include bills receivable in this remittance batch. Receivables updates the Remittance Amount and Count for this batch. To deselect a bill receivable, uncheck the Select box.
When you are satisfied with your selections, choose the Actions button to open the Remittance Batch Actions window.
In the Remittance Batch Actions window, you create, approve, and format/print the remittance batch. Depending upon the function security set up by your system administrator, you may be able to perform all three of these tasks at the same time. Choose from these tasks:
Print Report: Print the Bills Receivable Remittance Batch Management report for this remittance batch. You can print a report for the remittance in any status. See also: Bills Receivable Remittance Batch Management Report.
Print Bills: Run the Print Program that you selected for this batch to print bills receivable on paper.
Note: In a remittance batch, you can only print unsigned bills receivable that have not already been printed.
Create: Create a remittance batch of selected bills receivable and check the Select box in the Bills Receivable Portfolio Management window for each selected bill receivable.
Format/Reformat: Format the remittance batch using Oracle Payments.
Approve: Initiate the accounting event to reclassify the bills receivable transactions selected for remittance. Depending on the remittance method, the status of the bills receivable is updated to Standard or Factored.
Cancel: Cancel a remittance batch that has not been approved. This deselects bills receivable from the batch, making them available for inclusion in another remittance batch.
You can update the selection of bills receivable for this batch until the remittance is approved.
You format bills receivable remittances on magnetic media for transmission to your remittance bank. You can also print the bills receivable document on paper for remittance purposes. You can format or print bills receivable remittance batches as often as you need to both before and after approval.
You select the print program when creating a bills receivable remittance batch. You can assign a print program to a bills receivable remittance by entering a print program in the Remittance Print field in the Formatting Programs region of the Remittance Banks window, or in the Print Program field in the Remittances window. Receivables prints the bills receivable using the print program.
You can also specify a printing program when you assign a remittance bank to a bills receivable remittance receipt method. See: Defining a Bills Receivable Remittance Receipt Method, Oracle Receivables Implementation Guide.
Oracle Payments provides you with the ability to configure and format electronic files for submission to financial institutions. See: Enabling the Funds Capture Process, Oracle Receivables Implementation Guide.
Navigate to the Remittances window.
Navigate to the Maintain Remittance Batch window by querying an existing remittance batch or creating a new remittance batch. See: Maintaining Bills Receivable Remittances.
In the Maintain Remittance Batch window, choose the Actions button.
Check the Format box to format the bills receivable.
Check the Print Bills box to print the bills receivable on paper.
If a customer drawee makes a payment prior to a bills receivable remittance batch being approved, you can either:
Deselect the bill receivable from a remittance batch in the Maintain Remittance Batch window and apply the payments directly to the bill receivable in the Receipts workbench. See: Maintaining Bills Receivable Remittances.
or
Cancel the bill receivable in the Bills Receivable Portfolio Management window and apply the payment directly to the transactions included in the bill receivable.
Use the Bills Receivable Maturity and Risk program and report to create and apply receipts for standard remitted bills receivable, and to apply receipts and eliminate risk on bills receivable factored with recourse. The report lists the adjustments to each bill receivable and shows all receipts that were cleared by the program run.
You can run the Bills Receivable Maturity and Risk program to accomplish a number of different tasks in relation to bills receivable remittances. These tasks are:
Create the receipt on the maturity date for standard remittances.
Create the receipt when the remittance is approved for factored remittances.
Unapply the receipt from short-term debt and apply it to the bill receivable at the maturity date plus risk elimination days for remittances factored with recourse.
Update the bill receivable status to Matured Pending Risk Elimination at the maturity date plus risk elimination days, and update the bill status to Closed for eliminating risk on bills factored with recourse.
Approve the endorsement adjustment, change the bill receivable status to Closed, and move any deferred VAT associated with the bill receivable from the Deferred VAT to the Output VAT accounts when eliminating risk on bills endorsed with recourse.
For standard remitted bills receivable, Receivables both creates the receipt and applies it to the bill receivable. The apply date is the same as the receipt date. Receivables normally performs these operations on the bill maturity date. If the bill was remitted with insufficient time for the bank to collect the funds from the drawee by the maturity date, then Receivables performs these operations on the remittance date plus the number of remittance bank collection days. You can clear receipts for standard remitted bills receivable manually, or use the Automatic Clearing program to clear receipts that have a clearance method of Automatic Clearing.
For bills receivable factored with recourse, Receivables applies receipts created at the time of remittance to bills receivable and eliminates the risk on each bill. The apply date is the bill receivable maturity date plus the number of risk elimination days.
Use the Standard Request Submission windows to submit the Bills Receivable Maturity and Risk program and report.
Enter the following parameters to specify the desired reporting options:
GL Date: Enter the GL date for the transactions generated by the program and report. You can enter any date in an open GL period.
For standard remittances, Receivables uses the GL date you enter here unless the date is not in an open period, in which case it will use the GL date on the bill. If the GL date on the bill is also not in an open period, then it will use the first day of the next available open period.
For factored remittances, Receivables uses the GL date you enter here unless the date is not in an open period, in which case it will use the GL date entered for the remittance. If the GL date entered for the remittance is also not in an open period, then it will use the first day of the next available open period.
For endorsed remittances, Receivables uses the GL date originally entered at the time the endorsement was created unless the date is not in an open period, in which case it will use the GL date you enter here. If the GL date you enter here is not in an open period, then it will use the first day of the next available open period.
Effective Date: Enter the effective date for this program and report. Receivables performs all operations on bills receivable based on this date. If you do not enter a date, Receivables uses the current date.
Transaction Type: Enter a bills receivable transaction type to include bills receivable of this type only.
GL Date From: Enter the first bills receivable GL date to include in the program and report.
GL Date To: Enter the last bills receivable GL date to include in the program and report.

Note: For bills receivable factored with recourse, receipts are applied to short-term debt before the bill maturity date plus risk elimination days. Use the Bills Receivable Portfolio Management window to recall bills receivable and reverse the receipt applications.
When you reverse a receipt for a bill receivable, Receivables automatically creates reversal journal entries for the receipt application.
If the receipt is reversed before the maturity date, the status of the bill receivable is updated to Pending Remittance.
If the receipt is reversed after the maturity date, the status of the bill receivable is updated to Unpaid.
When you unapply a receipt for a bill receivable, Receivables automatically creates reversal journal entries for the receipt application.
