Manage Common Options for Payables and Procurement
Guidelines for Common Options for Payables and Procurement
For invoice business units and requisitioning business units, you can set options common to the procure-to-pay business flow on the Manage Common Options for Payables and Procurement page.
The common options are grouped into the following categories:
-
Default distributions
-
Automatic offsets
-
Currency conversion
-
Expense accruals
-
Self-billed invoices
-
Legal entity information
Default Distributions
Default distributions are used to define accounts for payables transaction accounting.
Offset Segments
If you enter invoices for expenses or asset purchases with more than one primary balancing segment value, consider using automatic offsets. Automatic offsets balance accounting entries for Oracle Fusion Payables transactions. If you don't use automatic offsets, an invoice transaction has a single liability accounting entry and a payment transaction has a single cash accounting entry.
Currency Conversion
This table describes the options you can set for currency conversion.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
|
Require conversion rate entry |
If enabled, you must provide a conversion rate whenever you enter an invoice or a payment in a currency other than the ledger currency. If you maintain daily rates, the rate is automatically supplied based on the date and rate type that you enter. If daily rates don't exist for that date and rate type, you can't enter or save the transaction. If the conversion rate type is User, then you must enter a conversion rate. You can't create accounting entries for, or pay foreign currency invoices without conversion rates. If you don't enable this option, you can enter conversion rates manually on invoices and payments, or submit the Apply Missing Conversion Rates process. When you create a bills payable document, you must still provide a maturity rate, rate type, and date. |
|
Conversion rate type |
This setting provides the default conversion rate type when you enter invoices or create payments. You can change the conversion rate type at invoice entry or payment creation time. |
|
Realized Gain or Loss Distributions |
These distributions represent the default realized gain and loss accounts for payments from each of your bank accounts. If the conversion rate changes between invoice entry and payment time, the realized gain or loss is automatically calculated and recorded to these accounts. |
Expense Accruals
Determine when to accrue for expense items.
Self-Billed Invoices
This table lists the options for self-billed invoices.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
|
Gapless invoice numbering |
You can enable gapless, that's, no breaks in numbering, invoice number generation for your buying organization during pay on receipt processing. You can enable gapless numbering for the entire business unit with this setting or limit it to a supplier site. |
|
Buying Company Identifier |
A unique identifier that's included in the invoice number created by the pay on receipt process and in the debit memo number from returned receipts. |
Legal Entity Information
This table describes the options for legal entity information.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
|
VAT Registration Member State |
If your company operates in a member state of the European Union, select the country. |
|
VAT Registration Number |
If your company operates in a member state of the European Union, enter the value-added tax (VAT) registration number for your organization. |
|
Bill-to Location |
Enter the bill-to location to provide default values. The application uses the bill-to location to derive legal entity information. |
Default Distributions
Default distributions are used to define accounts for payables transactions. Invoices may get some distributions from supplier sites and others from common options setup.
Default Distributions
The following table describes the default distributions on the Manage Common Options for Payables and Procurement page.
| Distribution | Description |
|---|---|
|
Liability |
The default liability distribution for new invoices, unless the Site Assignments tab on the Supplier page has a different distribution. Caution: You can only specify a distribution with an account
type of Liability.
|
|
Prepayment |
The default distribution for prepaid expenses, unless the Site Assignments tab on the Supplier page has a different distribution. |
|
Bill Payable |
The default distribution for future-dated payments, unless the Site Assignments tab on the Supplier page has a different distribution. |
|
Conversion Rate Variance Gain and Loss |
Records conversion rate variance gains and losses for inventory and expense items that are accrued on receipt. Variance is calculated between an invoice and purchase order or, an invoice and receipt, depending on how you matched the invoice. |
|
Discount Taken |
Records discounts taken if the Discount Allocation Method option on the Manage Invoices page is set to Single distribution. |
|
Miscellaneous |
Records charges for invoice lines with a type of Miscellaneous. If you don't enter a value, miscellaneous charges are prorated across invoice item lines. |
|
Freight |
Records charges for freight lines. If you don't enter a value, miscellaneous charges are prorated across invoice item lines. |
|
Prepayment Tax Difference |
Records tax amount differences between a prepayment and the invoices that the prepayment is applied to. These differences are usually due to changes in tax rates from the time the prepayment is created to the time the invoice is created. Caution: This distribution is used only if the Applied Amount Handling option in the tax
record is set to Recalculate.
|
Automatic Offsets
If you enter invoices for expenses or asset purchases with more than one primary balancing segment value, you might want to use automatic offsets. Automatic offsets balance accounting entries for Oracle Fusion Payables transactions. If you don't use automatic offsets, an invoice transaction has a single liability accounting entry and a payment transaction has a single cash accounting entry.
On the Manage Common Options for Payables and Procurement page, you can select the method for creating the offsetting accounting entry. You can offset by primary balancing segment, or you can offset by all segments, except natural account.
Invoice Accounting Entries
Amounts are automatically allocated for the following invoice accounting entries:
-
Conversion rate variance gain or loss
-
Liability
-
Nonrecoverable tax for invoices matched to purchase orders
-
Nonrecoverable tax for invoices not matched to purchase orders, where no tax expense account has been defined for the tax rate
-
Withholding tax, if the withheld amount is applied at invoice validation time
Payment Accounting Entries
Amounts are automatically allocated for the following payment accounting entries:
-
Cash, if you use a pooled bank account
-
Cash clearing, if you use a pooled bank account and if you account for payments at clearing time
-
Discount
-
Realized gain or loss
-
Bills payable
-
Withholding tax, if amounts are withheld at payment time
Considerations for Offset Segments
You can use the Offset Segments option on the Manage Common Options page to create balanced accounting entries for invoice and payment transactions. You can select the segments to override on the offsetting entry lines without having to define intercompany or intracompany rules. This option is also used by Oracle Fusion Receiving to derive the receiving inspection account.
To meet more complex offsetting requirements, you can set up intracompany or intercompany rules at the ledger level in Oracle Fusion General Ledger. If you enable additional balancing segments for your chart of accounts, you must define intracompany or intercompany rules for the journal entry to balance.
Select one of the following offset segment methods:
-
None
-
Primary balancing segment
-
All segments, except natural account
None
The invoice liability distribution provides the liability entry line account, without any segment override. Receiving uses the receiving inspection distribution that's defined for the destination organization.
Primary Balancing Segment
This method builds the liability entry line account using both the charge distribution on the invoice line and the liability distribution on the invoice header. The charge distribution provides the primary balancing segment value and the liability distribution on the invoice header provides the remaining segment values. The resulting journal entry is balanced by the primary balancing segment.
Receiving builds the receiving inspection entry line account using both the purchase order charge distribution and the receiving inspection distribution for the destination organization. The charge distribution provides the primary balancing segment value and the receiving inspection distribution provides the remaining segment values.
This figure illustrates how the invoice liability entry line account is built when the offset segment method is set to Primary Balancing Segment.
All Segments, Except Natural Account
This method builds the liability entry line account using both the liability distribution on the invoice header and the charge distribution on the invoice line. The liability distribution on the invoice header provides the natural account segment and the charge distribution provides the remaining segment values. The resulting journal entry is balanced by all segments, except the natural account segment.
Receiving builds the receiving inspection entry line account using both the receiving inspection distribution for the destination organization and the purchase order charge distribution. The receiving inspection distribution provides the natural account segment and the purchase order charge distribution provides the remaining segment values.
This figure illustrates how the liability entry line account is built when the offset segment method is set to All Segments, Except Natural Account.
Example of Creating Balanced Liability Account Entries by Primary Balancing Segment
On the Manage Common Options for Payables and Procurement page, you can select a method for automatic offsets. The following example illustrates how liability accounts are built using the Primary balancing segment method.
Scenario
A supplier sends you an invoice for two items. Each item should be charged to a different company.
Transaction Details
The invoice is for 100 USD and consists of:
-
Item 1 for 60 USD
-
Item 2 for 40 USD
Analysis
The accounting flexfield consists of the following segments:
-
Primary balancing segment
-
Account
-
Cost center
Each primary balancing segment value represents a company. The default liability account for the supplier site is 00-LIAB-000.
This table lists the distribution combination information that you enter for each invoice item line.

Example of Creating Balanced Liability Account Entries by All Segments Except Natural Account
On the Manage Common Options for Payables and Procurement page, you can select a method for automatic offsets. The following example illustrates how liability accounts are built using the method called All segments, except natural account.
Scenario
A supplier sends you an invoice for two items. The offsetting liability account must retain all segments of the invoice distribution, except for the account segment.
Transaction Details
The invoice is for 100 USD and consists of:
-
Item 1 for 60 USD
-
Item 2 for 40 USD
Analysis
The accounting flexfield consists of the following segments:
-
Primary balancing

Considerations for Accruing Expense Items
Set the Accrue Expense Items option on the Manage Common Options for Payables and Procurement page to indicate when to accrue for expense items.
At Receipt
Accrue when receipts are created. You can override this setting on the PO schedule for expense destination types.
Period End
Accrue at the end of a period. During period close, expense accruals are created for all receipts that don't have invoices. Accrual entries are reversed when the next period is opened.
FAQs for Manage Common Options for Payables and Procurement
What's the difference between conversion rate gain or loss distributions and realized gain or loss distributions?
Conversion rate gain or loss distributions record the rate variances for inventory or expense items that accrue on receipt. The invoice validation process calculates the variance between the invoice and either the purchase order or receipt, depending on how the invoice was matched.
Realized gain or loss distributions record the rate variances between invoice entry and payment time. The gain or loss calculation is based on the Account for Payment option on the Manage Payment Options page, as well as at prepayment application. You can account at payment issue, clearing, or at both issue and clearing. If you account at payment issue, bills payable documents are accounted at maturity.
Realized gain or loss is always calculated at foreign currency prepayment application time, regardless of the Account for Payment setting.

Settings That Affect Installment Recalculation
Select the Recalculate invoice installments option on the Manage Invoice Options page to recalculate the installments.
-
You enable the Exclude tax from calculation option on the Manage Invoice Options page.
-
You manually change a tax amount.
How Invoice Installments Are Recalculated
Installment recalculation uses the most recent applicable start date and the more favorable payment terms. To determine which is more favorable, the ranks on the payment terms are compared.
The following table shows which start dates and payment terms are used for recalculating installments for matched and unmatched invoices.
| Matched to a Purchase Order | Start Date | Payment Terms |
|---|---|---|
|
No |
Most recent of the following:
|
Invoice payment terms |
|
Yes |

Considerations for Discount Allocation Methods
Discounts are taken when invoices are paid. On the Manage Invoice Options page, you can specify how to allocate these discounts. Select any one of the following methods:
-
All invoice lines
-
Tax lines and single distribution
-
Single distribution
All Invoice Lines
This method automatically prorates discounts across all invoice lines. Discounts are assigned to the charge account unless the invoice is matched to a purchase order that's set to accrue on receipt. For those invoices, the discount is assigned to the price variance account.
Tax Lines and Single Distribution
This method prorates a percentage of the discount across tax lines based on the percentage of tax lines on the invoice.
For example, if tax distributions represent 10 percent of the total invoice amount, 10 percent of the discount is prorated across the tax distributions. The remaining 90 percent of the discount is applied to the Discount Taken distribution specified on the Manage Common Options for Payables and Procurement page.
Single Distribution
This method credits the Discount Taken distribution specified on the Manage Common Options for Payables and Procurement page. Select this method if you enable automatic offsets and you want to distribute the discount taken across balancing segments.
Interest Invoices
If you enable automatic interest calculation for a supplier and pay an overdue invoice, an invoice for the interest is automatically created and paid.
Setup
To set up automatic interest rate calculation:
-
Define interest rates using the Manage Interest Rates task.
-
Set the Create Interest Invoices option using the Manage Suppliers task.
-
Enable the Create interest invoices option using the Manage Invoice Options task.
Attributes
This table describes some of the attributes of an interest invoice.
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
|
Number |
The interest invoice number is the overdue invoice number plus the suffix -INTx, where x is the number of interest invoices for that overdue invoice. For example, if the invoice number is 54362, the invoice number for the third interest invoice is 54362-INT3. |
|
Payment terms |
The payment terms on an interest invoice are immediate. If immediate terms aren't defined, the payment terms for the interest invoice are the same as the payment terms for the overdue invoice. |
|
Amount |
The interest calculation is based on the rate on the Manage Interest Rates page and is in accordance with the United States Prompt Payment Act. The calculation formula compounds interest monthly, up to a maximum of 365 days interest. |
|
Currency |
The invoice currency for an interest invoice is the same as the invoice currency on the overdue invoice. The payment currency for an interest invoice is the same as the payment currency on the overdue invoice. |
Interest Allocation Methods
The Interest Allocation method on the Manage Invoice Options page determines how invoice distributions for interest invoices are created.
Select one of the following settings:
-
Single distribution
-
All invoice lines
Single Distribution
This setting uses the Interest Expense distribution on the Manage Invoice Options page as the invoice distribution for the interest invoice.
All Invoice Lines
This setting uses the natural account segment from the Interest Expense distribution to build the distributions for the interest invoice.
Payment Requests
Oracle Fusion Payables can receive requests from internal or external sources to disburse funds to payees that aren't defined as suppliers. Payables records these requests as payment requests.
Internal payment requests can come from Oracle Fusion Receivables and Oracle Fusion Expenses. You can create a payment request from Receivables for a customer refund or from Expenses for an expense report. You can disburse the funds and manage the payment process using the payment management functionality in Payables.
Payment requests from external sources can be imported using the File Based Data Import (FBDI) spreadsheet for making One Time Payments. You can import, update, approve, pay transactions, and get the status update for payments. The payees, parties, and bank accounts are created automatically when the transactions are imported into the application.
Setting Up Payment Requests
The following setups affect the payment request process.
-
Invoice options: Set the default options for payment requests, such as payment terms, pay group, and payment priority.
-
Document sequence category: Comply with document sequencing policies using the predefined Payment Request category or override the document category, if allowed.
-
Common Options for Payables and Procurement: Enter the default Liability and Expense accounts for One Time Payments.
You can use the following setups in Oracle Fusion Payments to manage payment requests separately from other payments:
-
Payment method controls
-
Payment method default rules
-
Payment file and report formats
-
Payment attribute validations
Reporting on Payment Requests
You can track progress of a payment request in the originating application. After a payment request has been approved, you can report on and audit the request in Payables using the following reports:
-
Payables Invoice Aging
-
Payables Invoice Audit by Voucher Number Listing
-
Payables Open Items Revaluation
-
Payables Cash Requirement

Guidelines for Payment Accounting Options
On the Manage Payment Options page, set the Payment Accounting option to determine when payment accounting entries are created.
Select from the following options:
-
At payment issue
-
At payment clearing
-
At payment issue and clearing
At Payment Issue
With this setting, the liability account is debited and the cash account is credited when a payment is created. For a bills payable payment, the credit is to the bills payable account. Then at payment maturity, the bills payable account is debited and the cash account is credited. Realized gain or loss is calculated at payment creation and for a bills payable payment, at payment maturity.
At Payment Clearing
With this setting, the liability account is debited and the cash account is credited when the payment clears. Realized gain or loss is calculated at payment clearing.
At Payment Issue and Clearing
With this setting, accounting entries are created at:
-
Issue time: The liability account is debited and the cash clearing account is credited. For a bills payable payment, the credit is to the bills payable account. Then at payment maturity, the bills payable account is debited and the cash clearing account is credited.
-
Clearing time: The cash clearing account is debited and the cash account is credited.
FAQS for Manage Payment Options
What's the difference between the currency conversion settings on the common options page and the payment options page?
The currency conversion settings on the Manage Common Options for Payables and Procurement page affect invoice transactions.
The settings on the Manage Payment Options page affect payment transactions.
For business units that process both invoice and payment transactions, the Conversion Rate Type option is the same for both types of transactions. You can set this option on either the Manage Common Options for Payables and Procurement page or the Manage Payment Options page.
Manage Tax Reporting and Withholding Tax Options
Withholding Tax Options
Withholding tax options are settings and default values that control how Oracle Fusion Tax processes withholding for a business unit. You can enable your withholding tax options for a specific effective period.
Withholding Tax Options
Set the following withholding tax options on the Manage Tax Reporting and Withholding Tax Options page:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
|
Event Class |
Apply withholding tax to standard invoices, including credit and debit memos, or prepayment invoices. |
|
Apply Withholding |
Apply withholding if the tax authority requires your company to withhold taxes from suppliers. |
|
Process Transaction Taxes |
Calculate withholding tax on transaction tax lines. |
|
Allow Manual Withholding |
Create and adjust manual withholding tax lines for your invoices. |
|
Regime Determination Set |
Select the template that determines the tax regime to use for all transactions belonging to this event class. The options include WHTSTCC and WHTTAXREGIME. |
|
Calculation Point |
Specify the time when withholding tax is applied. The options are Invoice, Payment, or Both. The options available are controlled by the regime determination set. |
|
Tax Invoice Creation Point |
Specify the time when a tax authority invoice is generated. The options are dependent on the value in the Calculation Point field:
|
|
Include Discount |
Determine if a deduction of a discount is applied to the taxable basis when the calculation point is Payment. Select:
|
|
Rounding Level |
Apply rounding to calculated tax amounts once for each withholding tax rate per invoice or to the calculated withholding tax amount on each invoice line. |
Calculation Point Options
On the Manage Tax Reporting and Withholding Tax Options page, define the calculation point to specify the time to apply withholding taxes to supplier invoices.
Calculation point is determined at:
-
Invoice
-
Payment
Invoice
Select Invoice for taxes to be automatically withheld at invoice validation. If you select this option, Oracle Fusion Tax calculates withholding only once. If you adjust an invoice after it was validated, you must adjust the withholding tax manually and enable the Allow manual withholding option.
Taxes can be withheld from standard invoices, including credit and debit memos, and prepayment invoices. If you select the calculation point of Invoice for the event class, Prepayment invoices, consider timing the entry of the prepayment application before the invoice is validated.
If you:
-
Apply the prepayment before the invoice is validated, Oracle Fusion Tax creates a withholding tax net of the prepayment amount.
-
Validate the invoice first, Oracle Fusion Tax creates a withholding tax based on the taxable invoice amount. When you apply the prepayment, the withholding tax on the invoice isn't updated. You can manually adjust the withholding tax amount and the withholding invoice.
As an alternative, you can cancel all of the withholding taxes on the validated invoice before you apply the prepayment. Once you apply the prepayment, withholding taxes are created net of the prepayment amount.
Payment
Select Payment for taxes to be automatically withheld when you create payments in a payment process request or with a Quick payment.
Tax Invoice Creation Point Options
On the Manage Tax Reporting and Withholding Tax Options page, define the tax invoice creation point to specify when to automatically create withholding tax invoices to remit withheld taxes to tax authorities.
Tax invoice creation point is determined at:
-
Blank
-
Invoice
-
Payment
The options available are dependent on the value in the Calculation Point field.
Blank
Select Blank so Oracle Fusion Tax doesn't automatically create withholding tax invoices. You can enable this option for any value you selected as the calculation point.
You must run the withholding tax reports to determine the amounts to remit to your tax authorities, and create the withholding tax invoices.
Invoice
Select Invoice for a withholding invoice to be automatically created when an invoice subject to withholding tax is validated. You can enable this option only if the calculation point is applied at invoice validation time.
Payment
Select Payment for a withholding invoice to be automatically created when an invoice subject to withholding tax is paid. You can enable this option if the calculation point is applied either at invoice validation or at payment.
Include Discount Options
Use the Include Discount option on the Manage Tax Reporting and Withholding Options page to specify whether to include discount amounts in the calculation of withholding tax when the calculation point is Payment.
Select from the following options:
-
No
-
Yes
-
Blank
No
Select No to exclude the deduction of the discount to the taxable basis for taxes.
For example, assume you have an invoice for 100 USD. The discount amount taken is 5 USD and the automatic withholding tax rate is 10 percent. If the discount amount is excluded, the automatic withholding tax amount is 10 percent of 95 USD or 9.5 USD.
Yes
Select Yes to include the discount to the taxable basis for taxes.

Income Tax Reporting Options
Use the Manage Tax Reporting and Withholding Tax Options task to manage the following income tax reporting options for an invoice business unit:
-
Use combined filing program
-
Use supplier tax region
-
Income tax region
-
Include withholding distributions in income tax reports
Use Combined Filing Program
Enable this option if you're using US 1099 Combined Federal and State Filing Program reporting. When you submit the US 1099 Electronic Media Report, K records are produced for all tax regions participating in the program that have qualifying payments.
Use Supplier Tax Region
This option is used with combined filing. You can enable this option to use the tax region from US 1099 suppliers as the default tax region on invoice distributions. If needed, you can override the tax region on the Manage Distributions page. If you enable this option, you could have as many K records as you have different supplier tax regions.
Income Tax Region
This option is used with combined filing. You can forward US 1099 payment information to one tax region, regardless of the tax regions your US 1099 suppliers do business from. If you enter a value in the Income Tax Region field, you might have only one K record. If needed, you can still override the tax region on an invoice distribution.
Include Withholding Distributions in Income Tax Reports
Enable this option to report on federal income tax withheld for US 1099 suppliers. The withholding tax distributions that are automatically created have an:
-
Income tax type of MISC4 for reporting in box 4 on the 1099-MISC form
-
Income tax region, if combined filing is enabled
When you enable this option, the Update 1099 Withholding Tax Distributions process runs. This process updates the income tax type and income tax region on existing withholding tax distributions. The process selects distributions to update as follows.
If the current date is:
-
Before March 1 of the current calendar year, distributions with a payment date of January 1 of the previous calendar year or later are updated.
-
March 1 of the current calendar year or later, distributions with a payment date of January 1 of the current year or later are updated.
US 1099 Reporting: Explained
In the United States (US), you must report to the Internal Revenue Service certain types of payments that you make to US 1099 reportable suppliers. You can designate suppliers as federally reportable in the supplier setup. When you enter invoices for the supplier, you classify invoice distributions by US 1099 miscellaneous type using the Income Tax Type field. At year end, you can report accumulated US 1099 payment information to the Internal Revenue Service, other tax agencies, and your suppliers, in standard format.
If you're using combined filing, the US 1099 electronic format produces K records and B records. The K records provide information for tax regions or states participating in combined filing that have qualifying payments. The B records are for suppliers with US 1099 payment amounts that equal or exceed the tax region reporting limit in qualifying states.
US 1099 Reporting Overview
The following figure shows the steps for US 1099 reporting from setup to reports.
-
Set up Payables for US 1099 reporting: Refer to the following section for details.
-
Enter US 1099 details for suppliers: On the Income Tax tab on the Supplier page, you can specify federal and state information.
-
Enter, account, and pay US 1099 invoices: You can specify the income tax type and income tax region on each applicable invoice distribution, or accept the default values from the supplier.
To automatically create invoice distributions, you can enter a distribution set or match to a purchase order. If you're using a distribution set that doesn't have income tax types, the invoice distribution gets the income tax type from the supplier. If the distribution set has an income tax type that's different from the supplier, the distribution set tax type is used. You can also enter distributions manually.
You can adjust the Income Tax Type and Income Tax Region on each invoice distribution. You can also clear the Income Tax Type field for distributions that aren't federally reportable. If you enabled the Use supplier tax region tax option, the default region is the state in the supplier site address for the invoice. Alternatively, you can also specify a default income tax region on the Manage Tax Options page. The income tax region is used to group distributions by type and region on US 1099 reports. If you enable combined filing, when you run US 1099 reports, all reportable distributions are grouped by state.
