Example of Accounting of Interorganization Transfers Across Business Units
This example illustrates:
-
Transactions that are captured in Oracle Supply Chain Financial Orchestration and interfaced to Oracle Receipt Accounting and Oracle Cost Accounting.
-
Accounting entries that Receipt Accounting and Cost Accounting generate for the transfer of goods across profit center business units.
Scenario
China Ltd. ships the goods to US Inc. The organizations are in two different profit center business units.
Transactions from Supply Chain Financial Orchestration
The 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:
-
China Ltd. acquires goods locally at the cost of USD 50, plus USD 10 overhead on the receipt of goods.
-
Intercompany transfer price from China Ltd. to US Inc. is USD 100.
-
Intercompany invoicing is set to No.
-
Profit tracking is set to Yes.
-
Overhead rule is configured in Cost Accounting for transaction type Trade in-Transit Receipt in Cost Organization CO1.
-
China Ltd. books a profit of USD 40 (USD 100 transfer price - USD 50 acquisition cost - USD 10 overhead).
Analysis
Receipt Accounting and Cost Accounting create accounting distributions for the transfer of goods.
