This chapter contains the topic:

3.1 About Accounts Payable Processes for Russia

In addition to using the standard Oracle JD Edwards World Accounts Payable programs, you must use Russian-specific programs to:

  • Add additional information on vouchers.

  • Add additional information for payments that the system prints on payment orders.

  • Print payment orders.

  • Change the G/L payment date as necessary.

  • Print Cash Issue Notes.

3.1.1 Legal Verification of Payments

In Russia, the bank statement that your bank sends to you is the only legal confirmation of activity in the accounts that you use for payments. When you process payments, you send to the bank a Payment Order document that includes both summary payment details and detailed payment information. Depending on the circumstances, it may take from one to several days to process the payment. If the document layout is incorrect or required information is missing, the bank must refuse to process the payment.

After the bank receives the payment orders and processes them, the bank sends to you a bank statement that you use to verify the actual payment date. You use the date that the bank confirms in the bank statement as the actual payment date in your accounts. To make the payment date in your accounts match the payment date in the bank statement, you change the GL transaction date for payment transactions after you receive the bank statement that confirms the payment.

3.1.2 Custom Declaration Number

In Russia, when you purchase foreign goods, you are required to enter the custom declaration number (CDN) and the country of origin. An invoice may have more than one custom declaration number. A passport of deal (POD) number for imports and exports is also required and linked to the CDN.

The CDN is reflected in the Purchase VAT Book.
