Reporting Entities

A reporting entity is any person or organization with a unique tax identification number. Oracle Fusion Payables uses reporting entities for United States (US) 1099 reporting.

Primary Balancing Segment Values

For each reporting entity of an invoice business unit, assign one or more primary balancing segment values. Typically primary balancing segment values represent different legal entities.

For example, you define a reporting entity called Headquarters, which comprises companies 1, 2, and 3. Each company is represented by a primary balancing segment value. When you submit a US 1099 report, you specify Headquarters for the reporting entity parameter. The report accumulates payments for companies 1, 2, and 3, and sums up the paid invoice distributions that have the companies balancing segment values.

Note: Primary balancing segment values must be unique across reporting entities.
