1 Financial Interface Overview

Invoice Matching uses the Retail Financial Integration (RFI) system to interface with Oracle Financials. When documents are posted, they populate financial staging tables which are then picked up by RFI and passed on to Oracle Financials.

For each Set of Books set up in the Merchandising system, the G/L Options screen allows the retailer to define the layout of the chart of accounts segments to be sent to the financial system with each document when it is posted. Each document will include balanced accounting entries using the appropriate account segments for each type of transaction code associated with the document.

Up to 4 account segments can be flagged as dynamic, which means they vary based on details such as location, department, or class associated with the document. If a segment is flagged as dynamic, the retailer maps the possible values of the dynamic entity to the corresponding account segment value for that entity. For instance, if department is flagged as dynamic, then each department from the merchandising system will be mapped to the chart of account segment associated with the department in the financial system.
