Scheduled Processes for Cost Accounting

You can use the Scheduled Processes Overview page in the Tools work area to run the scheduled processes that you have access to. You can schedule these processes to run automatically at predefined frequencies, or to run on request.

This table describes the scheduled processes for Oracle Cost Accounting.

Task	Description
Transfer Transactions from Inventory to Costing	Transfers transaction data from Inventory to Cost Accounting. You must transfer the transaction from Inventory so that they're costed and accounted as a prerequisite for the Create Cost Accounting Distributions scheduled process. You must have data access to the appropriate cost organization and the inventory organization must be assigned to the cost organization to successfully run this scheduled process. If you don't have access to the selected cost organization for the process, the process ends with a Warning status. If you've scheduled the process without selecting a cost organization, the process transfers data for only those cost organizations to which you have data access. It logs error messages for cost organizations that you don't have access to.
Transfer Transactions from Production to Costing	Transfers work order transactions and events such as resource usage, scrap, work order completion, and close transactions to costing as a prerequisite for the Create Cost Accounting Distributions scheduled process
Transfer Costs to Cost Management	Transfers Accounts Payable invoice information to Cost Management as a prerequisite for the Create Cost Accounting Distributions scheduled process. 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.
Transfer Transactions from Receiving to Costing	Transfers purchase order and transfer order receipt information to Cost Management as a prerequisite for the Create Cost Accounting Distributions scheduled process. Receipt information is input into Receipt Accounting for reconciling receipt accrual amounts, determining uninvoiced receipt quantity or amount (service purchases) and receipt accrual accounting.
Create and Update Cost Accounting Events	Use the process only for your periodic average cost books when the draft periodic average cost accounting distributions are ready to be finalized for the period and posted through subledger accounting into general ledger. The periodic average costs can only be finalized at the end of a period. However, the solution is designed to let you create, view, and report on draft periodic cost accounting distributions during a period.
Create Cost Accounting Distributions	Costs and creates distributions for the transactions interfaced from other applications. The process to create pairs of debit and credit accounting entries for inventory and manufacturing transactions.
Delete Standard Costs from Interface	Use the process to periodically delete temporary interface data that has been uploaded via the ADFdi spreadsheet but set aside with error.
Export Standard Costs	Exports standard costs for a cost scenario in the XML format to the Cost Management directory on the Oracle WebCenter Content server. The Cost Management WebCenter Content output directory is scm/standardCost/export.
Import Revenue Lines	Transfers the final accounted revenue lines from Receivables to Cost Accounting. This synchronizes posting of cost of goods sold with revenue posting to the General Ledger. You must specify the business unit for which you want to import the information and select the number of workers, the import as of date, and the start date. Revenue lines with accounting date between the start date and the import as of date, including both dates, are transferred. If you don't set the import as of date, it defaults to the system date. If you don't set the start date, then the revenue lines with accounting date between the start of the previous or current open period and the import as of date are transferred.
Purge Prior Cost Accounting Process Errors	When you run the Create Cost Accounting Distributions process or the Validate and Update Cost Accounting Periods process, the Purge Prior Cost Accounting Process Errors process runs automatically after the respective process ends to clear cost processing errors and validation errors from prior runs.
Roll up Costs	Calculates the costs of output items with active work definitions, based on the cost allocation defined on the work definition operations.
Undo Cost Update	Use the process to revert the published standard costs that haven't been used to process any transactions. When you publish standard costs to Cost Accounting, these new costs will automatically be updated on the effective date of the cost scenario. Until this effective date, you can use this process to undo the cost update. Also, you can undo the standard cost update only if it hasn't been used to process any transactions.
Update Standard Costs	Use the process to update item and resource costs for cost accounting.
Validate and Update Cost Accounting Periods	Use the process to perform period end validations and close periods for multiple cost organization and cost book combinations simultaneously by using run controls.
