Redwood: Perform Receipt Accounting from a New Home Experience

The new Redwood landing page for the Receipt Accounting work area provides access to all the transactional tasks within Receipt Accounting and Landed Cost Management. Here are some of the key features of the new landing page:

  • Context Switcher: You can now set a specific Bill-to Business Unit as the context for your landing page, ensuring that all displayed information aligns with that unit.

  • Navigation to Tasks: You can now access Receipt Accounting and Landed Cost Management tasks directly from the Quick actions menu. Depending on your configuration and whether the Redwood pages are enabled for these tasks, they will open in either the existing UI or the Redwood page. To view all available tasks from the landing page, click View All Actions, where you can also pin specific tasks to the Quick actions menu for easy access.

  • Scorecards: The page includes three scorecards:

    • Recent Process Runs: This scorecard provides key insights into the operational health of Receipt Accounting and Landed Cost management processes over the past 30 days. You can also drill down to the Receipt Accounting Exceptions page for detailed error information for a particular process. The most recent process ID and details are displayed when a process runs multiple times within the period.

    • GL Period Status: Receipt Accounting is based on the GL period. This scorecard provides key insights into period-end validation exceptions for the selected period. It includes error details from the most recent period end validation run, highlighting any issues that may prevent period closure. You can change the selected period using the "View By" option. Previously, this information was accessible only through OTBI reports.
    • Aged Accrual Balances: This scorecard highlights receipt accrual balances aged over 90 days, along with the total receipt accrual balance for the account combinations. You can easily identify the accrual balances that need your attention and access the Accounted Balances by Purchase Order Distribution task for a specific account directly from this page.

  • Contextual scorecard information provides insight into tasks that may require your attention.
  • Ability to pin the most commonly used tasks to Quick actions for faster access.
  • Period end validation exceptions can be quickly reviewed without navigating to OTBI reports.

Tips And Considerations

  • Infolets from the existing UI are no longer available on the Redwood page. However, you've the flexibility to add your own scorecards or visualizations to the Redwood page.
  • Landed cost scorecards aren't available in the Redwood UI.
  • Review and resolve all exceptions before reviewing accruals to ensure an accurate picture of your accrual balances.
  • When you drill down from the scorecard details, you will be navigated to the corresponding Redwood pages even if you haven't enabled those Redwood pages. We recommend enabling these pages to ensure a consistent and seamless user experience.
  • For a better user experience, enable all pages in Redwood to ensure a seamless and cohesive workflow.
  • Setup tasks can be accessed only from the Setup and Maintenance work area.
  • To view data in the GL period status scorecard, you must run receipt accounting period-end validations.
