Example of Accounting of Interorganization Transfers with Cost Propagation

This example illustrates:

  • Material moment transactions that are captured in Oracle Inventory Management and interfaced to Oracle Receipt Accounting and Oracle Cost Accounting.

  • Supply chain financial transactions that are captured in Oracle Supply Chain Financial Orchestration and interfaced to Receipt Accounting and Cost Accounting.

  • Accounting entries that Receipt Accounting and Cost Accounting generate for the transfer of goods across organizations.

Scenario

A transfer order is issued from an asset or expense inventory to an expense destination, where the sending organization and receiving organization are in different profit center business units. A trade agreement is set up in Supply Chain Financial Orchestration to create the financial ownership trade events.

Let's consider the sending organization is M1 and the receiving organization is M2. The quantity of goods transferred is 10 units and the cost per unit is $12.00. The transfer price is $15.00. M1 then makes a cost adjustment of $4.50 per unit.

Accounting Events

For this transfer to expense destination, the corresponding events along with the transaction creating system and subledger are summarized in this table.

In the case where the transfer is without a manual receipt at destination, the events Transfer Order Logical Receipt and Transfer Order Logical Deliver to Expense will replace Transfer Order Receipt and Transfer Order Deliver to Expense respectively.

Analysis

Receipt Accounting and Cost Accounting create accounting entries for the transfer of goods.

Accounting Entries

This table describes the receipt and cost accounting entries for the transfer order with manual receipt at expense destination.

Transfer price once established doesn't get updated. Therefore, the propagated cost adjustment gets recorded against the interorganization gain/loss.
