Automatic Invoice Validation for Partner Tax Calculation

You can automatically validate Payables invoices selected for partner tax calculation after the response is received from the tax partner.

Currently, the Validate Payables Invoices process needs to be initiated twice: initially to mark invoices for the Partner Tax Data Extract and again following the execution of the Record Partner Tax Lines process.

With this feature activated, it simplifies the tax partner calculation workflow by removing the need to repeat the Validate Payables Invoices process after the Record Partner Tax Lines process has been completed. Here's how this feature works:

  1. Submit Import Payables Invoices process to import invoices into Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP.
  2. Submit Validate Payables Invoices process to flag transactions for inclusion in the Partner Tax Data Extract. If the Calculate tax during import option is set to 'Y' during invoice import, this step is not needed.
  3. Submit Partner Transaction Data Extract process to create a transaction file with the necessary attributes for tax processing for the tax partner.
  4. Submit Record Partner Tax Lines process is directly launched by the tax partner once the Partner Transaction Data Extract file is processed, and the associated tax results returned, to update the tax lines in Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP. The tax partner invokes the Oracle web service, which automatically launches the Record Partner Tax Lines process.
  5. Validate Payables Invoices process is submitted automatically, and invoices are validated. There is no need to submit or schedule the Validate Payables Invoices process manually. It will be submitted by the partner integration user.
