Example of Accounting of Global Procurement Trade Transactions into Expense

Oracle Receipt Accounting and Oracle Cost Accounting process transactions and create distributions for global procurement purchases that are received into expense destinations rather than inventory, and for services that are expensed.

The following is an example of accounting performed by Cost Accounting and Receipt Accounting for a global procurement flow into expense. It illustrates:

  • 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 forward flow of goods or services from the supplier, through the intermediary distributor, to the final receiving organization.

  • Accounting entries that Receipt Accounting and Cost Accounting generate for the return flow from the receiving organization to the supplier.

Scenario

China Supplier ships the goods to US Inc. and the goods flow through an intermediary distributor, China Ltd.

Transactions from Supply Chain Financial Orchestration

The global procurement trade agreement, accounting rule sets, and associated purchase orders are set up in Supply Chain Financial Orchestration, and the transactions flow into Receipt Accounting and Cost Accounting based on this setup:

  • Purchase Order (PO) price from China Supplier to China Ltd is USD 50.

  • Intercompany transfer price from China Ltd to US Inc is USD 100.

  • Intercompany invoicing is set to Yes.

  • Profit tracking is set to Yes.

  • Overhead rule is configured in Cost Accounting for transaction type Trade in-Transit Receipt in cost organization CO1.
