Invoice Distributions

Invoice distributions provide the accounting information for an invoice line, such as accounting date, amount, and distribution combination. Invoice distributions are used to create invoice accounting entries.

Note: You can define rules in Oracle Fusion Subledger Accounting to use distribution combinations from a source other than invoice distributions.

Creating Invoice Distributions

Distributions are created:

• Automatically when you match an invoice to a purchase order, receipt, or consumption advice

• Automatically through a distribution set

• Automatically through the allocation of freight and miscellaneous invoice lines

• Manually on the Manage Distributions page

Note: In general, tax distributions are created automatically when you validate an invoice. However, if your tax setup permits, you can enter tax distributions manually.

Changing Invoice Distributions

The distribution combination on an invoice line provides the default value for the Manage Distributions page. Changing a distribution combination on the Manage Distributions page doesn't change the distribution combination on the invoice line.

Note: If you're using funding patters to distribute project costs, refer to Project Cost Distribution Using Award Funding Patterns.
