Prepare Partner Contribution Invoices for the Creation of Credit Memos

Run this process to prepare the partner contribution invoice for the creation of credit memo: Process Joint Venture Partner Contributions – Process Partner Contribution Transactions.

Important: Before you run this process, an application implementation consultant must set up the AR_USE_INV_ACCT_FOR_CM_FLAG profile option with at least one profile value. See Set Up Profile Option to Create Receivables Credit Memos.
  1. From the Home page, select Joint Venture Management, and then select Process Joint Venture Partner Contributions from the Quick Actions list.

  2. For the Processing Mode, select Process Partner Contribution Transactions.

  3. Complete the following fields as needed:

    • Business Unit. Select a business unit to run this process for the joint ventures associated with that business unit.

      If you have multiple joint ventures managed under different business units, you can leave this blank to run the process for all your joint ventures.

    • Joint Venture. Select a joint venture, or you can leave this field blank to run this process over all joint ventures. The process selects only those joint ventures at an Active status.

    • Stakeholder. Select a stakeholder if you want to run this process for a particular stakeholder. Otherwise, you can leave this field blank.

    • Contribution Start Date. Enter a date to run this process over all the partner contributions that have this contribution start date. If you leave this field blank, the system date is used.

    • Accounting Date. Enter a date to use for the general ledger date in Oracle Receivables when joint venture credit memos are created for the selected partner contribution invoices. If you leave this field blank, the last day of the current open period will be used.

    • Transaction Date. Enter a date to override the transaction date that you specified in the Partner Contributions work area. This date will be assigned to the partner contribution credit memos. If you don’t enter a date in either this field or in the Partner Contributions work area, the system date will be used.

    The process includes only those partner contributions that are in the “Ready to Cancel” status.

  5. When the process completes, click OK in the confirmation.
  6. Click the log file in the Log and Output section to view the following information:
    • The count of partner contributions that were included for cancellation.

    • The count of partner contributions that were skipped by the process.

In the Edit Partner Contribution page, the status of the partner contributions that are included for cancellation changes to “Credit Memo in Progress.” The subsequent section describes how to create credit memos for partner contributions that are in this status.

Create the Credit Memo

An accounts receivable manager must run the Import AutoInvoice process to create the credit memo.

Important: Before you run this process, an application implementation consultant must configure the transaction source for joint venture invoice to populate the joint venture name in the credit memo header. See Populate the Joint Venture Name in Credit Memos.

    • Business Unit. Select your joint venture business unit from the drop-down list. The process will create credit memos for the partner contribution invoices associated with this business unit.

    • Transaction Source. Search for and select "Oracle Joint Ventures" from the drop-down list. This is the provided transaction source for joint venture receivables invoice and credit memo. The process will select only those invoices that are associated with this transaction source.

    • Default Date. This is the accounting date to apply to credit memos. You can’t run this process without entering a date in this field. However, this date will be ignored for joint venture credit memos and the accounting date that was entered in the process to prepare partner contribution invoices for the creation of credit memos will be used instead. If you didn’t specify an accounting date in that process, the last day of the current open period will be used.

  6. Specify values in the other fields as needed to filter partner contributions that you want to process.

The partner contribution remains in the “Credit Memo in Progress” status even after you complete this process and the credit memo is created.
