Oracle E-Business Suite Configuration for Account Payable Data
The Oracle E-Business Suite Financials for General Ledger and Accounts Payable Payables Open Interface Import (APXIIMPT) process must be run to read the data from the AP Invoice Interface tables and create invoices corresponding to the Oracle Utilities Customer Cloud Service AP Requests. This process can be run manually or scheduled to run at a pre-determined time.
The configuration needed for AP Request and AP Payment integrations includes:
• Payables Open Interface Import (APXIIMPT): Schedule this process to create AP Invoices for the Oracle Utilities Customer Care and Billing information inserted into Oracle E-Business Suite Financials for General Ledger and Accounts Payable interface tables by the integration product software. When you configure Oracle E-Business Suite Financials for General Ledger and Accounts Payable to run this process automatically at a preset time, ensure you have matched this timing with the timing of other actions done by Oracle Utilities Customer Care and Billing and the integration product.
Alternatively, you can use the Standard Request Submission (SRS) within Oracle E-Business Suite Financials for General Ledger and Accounts Payable to run the Payables Open Interface Import (APXIIMPT) process manually.
• Payment Terms Code: Create a new payment terms code for processing the payments for Oracle Utilities Customer Care and Billing customers. These codes are used to define defaults such as when payments must be made based on the invoice date, which status must be paid, any applicable discounts, rebates, and other pertinent payment information.
• Invoice Source: Create an Invoice Source so that all the invoices that come from Oracle Utilities Customer Care and Billing are identified with this source in Oracle E-Business Suite Financials for General Ledger and Accounts Payable system.
Refer to the Oracle E-Business Suite Financials for General Ledger and Accounts Payable User documentation for specific guidelines on configuring these settings.
