Outstanding Receivables Overview Pages

The Outstanding Receivables Overview pages provide an overview of open receivables transactions and associated key metrics. There are two Outstanding Receivables Overview pages:

The structure of the two pages is nearly the same, however, there is a difference in the list of attributes available to support Guided Navigation, Key Metrics and related Graphs, as well as the transaction details displayed in the transactions list and details regions. The differences address specific business needs of users, and allow them to efficiently perform analysis and related tasks.

You can perform specific actions directly from the Outstanding Receivables Overview pages, or navigate to the core iReceivables application to perform further investigation prior to taking necessary actions. This is available from action icons and links associated with a specific transaction in the transactions list table, actions menu items applicable across multiple selected transactions, or through links associated with individual transaction attributes. The following describes the Outstanding Receivables Overview pages.

Within the Outstanding Receivables Overview page, you can view and analyze problem areas in respect to outstanding receivables using display tools that include metrics, charts, graphs, and tables. The following describes the Endeca Outstanding Receivables Overview page regions and components:

Payment History Page

The Payment History page provides an overview of paid transactions and payments, and associated key metrics. This page targets the requirements of receivables personnel and provides insight into recent historical payment patterns across customers and operating units.

Note: Only transactions that have been fully paid during the period (or final payment was applied) and receipts that have been fully applied display on this page. If transactions have been partially paid, or receipt was only partially applied, then they will display in either the Outstanding Receivables or Payment Process pages.

You can navigate to the core Receivables Transactions and Receipts windows from the Payment History page to investigate and take necessary actions. These pages are available from links associated with specific transactions in the Paid Transactions and Payments results tables. The following is a display of the Payment History page.

From the Receivables responsibility, navigate to the Payment History page:

Oracle Receivables Extensions for Oracle Endeca Product Configuration

Setting Up Oracle Receivables Extensions for Oracle Endeca

The Oracle Receivables application configuration and setup must be completed after the installation and common configurations are completed as described in Installing Oracle E-Business Suite Extensions for Oracle Endeca, Release 12.1 V5 (Doc ID: 1683053.1).

Setup and Configuration Steps

You must complete the following steps to set up Oracle Receivables Extensions for Oracle Endeca:

  1. Set Access Control by assigning UMX roles and updating access grants.

  2. Run the full load graph in the Clover server to import all transaction and dispute data.

  3. Schedule Setup in the Clover server to run incremental and daily load graphs.

  4. Set Profile Options.

Access Control: Hide and Show EID Dashboards (User Interfaces) for Oracle Receivables

As part of the Oracle E-Business Suite-EID integration for the Oracle Receivables application, the following UMX Roles are provided:

UMX Role Internal Code Name
OIR Endeca Internal Role UMX|ARI_INT_ENDECA_ACCESS_ROLE
OIR Endeca External Role UMX|ARI_EXT_ENDECA_ACCESS_ROLE

You must add the new UMX role 'OIR Endeca Internal Role' (Internal Code Name: UMX|ARI_INT_ENDECA_ACCESS_ROLE) for the internal user Receivables responsibility to enable the Endeca menus. Add the 'OIR Endeca External Role' (Internal Code Name: UMX|ARI_EXT_ENDECA_ACCESS_ROLE) for external users accessing iReceivables using their custom responsibility to enable Endeca menus for the custom responsibility. You must assign these UMX roles to the responsibilities. When the UMX roles are assigned to the iReceivables Information Portal, the Endeca pages appear.

If you want to use the Endeca-related roles with more than one responsibility, then you must have additional grants with a security context corresponding to each responsibility. You can add grants for a given role as a separate process instead of while you are adding the role to the responsibility.

Receivables includes separate Permissions, Grants, and Responsibilities due to the sensitive information displayed on the Internal and External Outstanding Receivables Overview Pages. The following are the Receivables Permission Sets, Grants, and Responsibilities.

Permission Sets Internal Code Name
OIR Endeca Internal Access Permission Set OIR_ENDECA_INT_ACCESS_PS
OIR Endeca External Access Permission Set OIR_ENDECA_EXT_ACCESS_PS
Grants Internal Code Name
OIR Internal Access Grant OIR_ENDECA_INT_ACCESS_GRANT
OIR External Access Grant OIR_ENDECA_EXT_ACCESS_GRANT
Responsibilities Function Name
iReceivables 2.0 Internal ARI_INTERNAL
iReceivables Account Management ARI_EXTERNAL

Complete the following steps to enable Endeca Menus in Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS):

  1. Assign a UMX Role to the Responsibility.

  2. Update OIR_ENDECA_INT_ACCESS_GRANT (OIR Internal Access Grant)

  3. Update OIR_ENDECA_EXT_ACCESS_GRANT (OIR External Access Grant)

For assigning UMX Roles and Grants, refer to Appendix C in Installing Oracle E-Business Suite Extensions for Oracle Endeca, Release 12.1 V5 (Doc ID: 1683053.1).

Loading Receivables Data into the Endeca Data Store

Clover ETL within Endeca queries Receivables Views and completes a full data load to the Receivables data store in Endeca. After the first data load, you can perform full data load, incremental data load, and daily load as required. Incremental data load updates all records in the Endeca data store which were updated in EBS after the last load. The daily load calculates the aging bucket and discount. After the data has been loaded into the Endeca data store, it can be loaded and displayed in the Receivables Extensions for Oracle Endeca pages.

Receivables Data Sources in the Endeca Data Store

Data sources are defined in the Receivables data store in Endeca and are used to load data for different Receivables Extensions for Oracle Endeca pages. These data sources include:

Setting Up the Scheduler for Endeca Full, Incremental, and Daily Load

The initial data upload for Endeca Search is complete when the Full graph is run as described in Installing Oracle E-Business Suite Extensions for Oracle Endeca, Release 12.1 V5 (Doc ID: 1683053.1). Full refresh deletes all data from Endeca and repopulates it with a full data extract from the E-Business Suite system. For incremental refresh, you should determine how often the Endeca data should be refreshed from E-Business Suite depending on your organizational requirements. Run the daily load graph to calculates the aging bucket and discount.

Note: No changes will be reflected in the Endeca Receivables pages until incremental refresh is performed. Therefore, Oracle recommends that you schedule incremental and daily load to perform frequent updates. These processes typically finish quickly. Full load can take time to finish and is not required once it has been implemented unless exceptions occur, such as data corruption, or the aging bucket profile is changed.

To schedule ETL on the Integrator Server

  1. Login to Integrator server using your Clover login.

  2. Click the Scheduling tab.

  3. Select the New Schedule link.

  4. Enter a Description for the scheduler.

  5. Select Periodic as the Type.

  6. Select by interval as the Periodicity.

  7. Enter a start date and time in the Not active before date/time field.

  8. Enter an end date and time in the Not active after date/time field.

  9. Enter a value in the Interval (minutes) field.

  10. Ensure you select the Fire misfired event as soon as possible check box.

  11. Select Start a graph from the Task Type list.

  12. Select the graph for schedule to run. I.e. Full.grf, Incremental.grf, and Daily.grf..

  13. Click 'Create' to set the scheduler.

ETL Parameters for Receivables

You can load data to the Receivables data store by running full load, incremental load, and daily load graphs provided by Receivables.

To load data to the Receivables data store

  1. Using the URL for the EID Integrator Server, navigate to the Sandboxes page and expand the graph node under Receivables.

  2. Graphs to load data include:
