Transfer Costs to Cost Management
Use the Transfer Costs to Cost Management scheduled process to transfer Accounts Payable invoice information to Oracle Cost Management.
Accounts Payable invoice information is input into Receipt Accounting for reconciling receipt accrual amounts, determining uninvoiced receipt quantity, reconcile estimated landed cost amounts with actuals, and to adjust the cost of receipts. Accounts Payable invoice information is also input into Cost Accounting for inventory value adjustments. After Accounts Payable invoices are accounted, the information is considered stable and ready for transfer to Cost Management.
When to Use
The Transfer Costs to Costing scheduled process should be scheduled to run at least once per day to ensure receipt accounting and cost accounting are up to date with timely receipt information. This process can also be run more often than once per day depending on business needs such as prior to decision points, at end of day, or or after peak invoice processing activities are completed
You can coordinate the schedule of this process to run in parallel with the Transfer Transaction from Receiving to Costing process and the Transfer Transactions from Inventory to Costing process. You should run this in coordination with the frequency and timing of the downstream scheduled processes Create Receipt Accounting Distributions and Create Cost Accounting Distributions, and also in coordination with the scheduled processes Create Uninvoiced Receipt Accruals, Match Receipt Accruals, and Manage Landed Costs. You should schedule this process such that it is completed just prior to running the coordinated downstream processes. You can use process sets to coordinate this scheduled process with parallel and downstream processes.
