Overview Establishing an Internet procurement environment requires automating procurement system processing as much as possible. For this to occur Buyers must first establish a purchase agreement with a supplier establishing which items, price and terms are available for selection by the companys requisitioners. While quotations can give information regarding quoted prices provided by the supplier, purchase agreements establish fixed prices for a specific period agreed to by the company and the supplier. These contracts allow companies to have fixed contract pricing for regularly purchased items. All this information can be in the form of a catalog, a purchasing agreement and\or a contract. These documents can be electronically imported or updated, using EDI, XML and flat files through the Open Purchasing Documents Interface. Importing these documents allows agreements to be electronically created and updated, as they are established and\or changed. This information can then be extracted into the various types of catalogs and requisition templates throughout the applications. Once these purchase agreements are in place the requester can be forced to request items only from these agreements. By establishing these purchase agreements the purchasing process can be automated to create releases from approve requisitions and transmit them to the supplier electronically. Sourcing rules can also be created in conjunction with agreements forcing releases and orders from blanket agreements or catalog quotations. Approved Supplier Lists define the relationship between purchased items and approved suppliers, while the Sourcing Rules and Sourcing Assignments determine the allocation of orders to the approved suppliers. Once the items are received the payment process can also be automated. Values, identified as bold specified in this document are necessary to run programs in the automated format. All of these processes can be grouped together as one request set but it is recommended that several request sets be created based on function and processing intervals. These various sets will be identified throughout this document. Below are the steps required to automate the Procure to Pay process.

Step 1.0

Perform Purchase Agreement Load\Update

Buyers establish a purchase agreement with a supplier establishing which items, price and terms can be purchased. These contracts allow companies to have fixed contract pricing for regularly purchased items. Quotations give information regarding quoted prices provided by the supplier for a specific period agreed to by the company and the supplier. This information can be electronically updated, using EDI, XML and flat files using the Open Purchasing Documents Interface to create quotation, agreements and catalogs. This catalog information can then be extracted for use in the various types of catalogs and templates throughout the applications. Sourcing rules can be created in conjunction with the established agreements. Approved Supplier Lists define the relationship between purchased items and approved suppliers, while the Sourcing Rules and Sourcing Assignments determine the allocation of orders to the approved suppliers.

When the process is complete you can go to Self-Service Purchasing Catalog Authoring to review the extracted catalogs. Step 2.0 Generate and Import Requisitions Once requisitions are approved, the Procurement workflow initiates the procurement process. Processing requisitions manually can be accomplished using the Autocreate function. During the autocreate process the buyer can determine if the requisition should be turned into a RFQ, Standard PO or Blanket Release. Oracle Purchasing does also allow the processing of approved requisitions from various sources into Blanket releases as part of the Requisition Import process. Requirements created from planning functions, Inventory or MRP, or third party applications will be available for Requisition Import into the Purchasing module. Once the purchasing department has been notified that requisitions exist, the process can be run from the reports request screen or setup to run on a periodic basis as a scheduled request. Regardless of the Source a separate file will be created for each of these source types. The Requisition Import process brings the source file into the requisition tables. If profiles option: PO: Release During ReqImport is set the requisitions can be imported as approved and passed on to create a blanket release. If a purchase agreement or sourcing rules exist a blanket release will be created if all the conditions are met with respect to the purchase agreement.

Step 3.0

Review Requisitions

Once the requisitions are approved they are ready for processing. If a purchase agreement exists then the requisitions can be turned into blanket releases using Create Release process. Although this process can be automated there may be control or operational needs for this step to occur. If required this step provides a control point in the process. If a purchase agreement does not exist then the Buyers need to review all of the approved purchase order requisitions for completeness. Requisitions can either be entered manually or they can be generated by the system in the form of Inventory Reorders or MRP Planned Order Releases. Buyers have the option of selecting which requisitions to make into purchase orders through the AutoCreate Documents form. The buyer can query specific requisitions to AutoCreate by entering requisition search criteria in the Find Requisition Lines form. The buyer also has the option of adding requisition lines to an existing document. Once the purchase order is created and completed it can be forwarded as necessary for approval. In the Purchasing Superuser responsibility: Navigate to: Autocreate

Navigate to the Find Requisitions windows, enter the appropriate parameters. Choose OK to begin the process.

In the Autocreate Documents form: Action: Document Type: Grouping: Select Create to create a new document for the requisition lines.

Step 4.0 Create Blanket Release Releases may be created manually or generated by the system. System generated releases result from planning processes and depend on how the Sourcing Rules for a given item are previously defined. A blanket release can be issued against a blanket purchase agreement to place the actual order (as long as the release is within the blanket agreement effectivity dates). A release against a blanket agreement is a legally binding document (like a standard purchase order) that obligates the company to purchase material from a chosen supplier at an agreed price with product delivery on a certain day. These releases can be created on a routine basis by setting the Create Releases as a scheduled process on a periodic basis to create a new release against a blanket agreement. Since the agreement and requisition has already been approved there should be no need for additional approval. If an exception occurs then an approver can review the release prior and approve it but once approved the release may be transmitted to the supplier and received against.

Step 6.0 Process ASN from Supplier The receiving process starts with the receiving of material on the dock and ends with either the material being delivered to the requested destination or the material being returned to the supplier. Once the supplier ships and the goods\services are delivered, the requester can go receive the goods in Oracle against the previously created document or by looking for open receipts. Acknowledging this receipt creates a transaction in the core applications and is used as part of the matching and invoice payment process. If the purchase agreement has two-way matching defined then no receiving is required. To automate the process an Advanced Ship Notice (ASN) can be transmitted from the supplier at the time of shipment. Often this transaction occurs before the goods arrive at the company so the ASN transaction can be imported via EDI and imported in the Receiving Interface Transaction table. Once the import has taken place the Receiving Transaction Processor should be run to complete the Receipt. In the Purchasing Superuser responsibility: Navigate to: Reports> Run

Step 6.1 Payment on Receipt (Optional) Payment on Receipt enables you to automatically create standard, unapproved invoices for payment of goods based on receipt transactions. Invoices are created using a combination of receipt and purchase order information, that eliminates additional process or duplicate manual data entry and ensures accurate and timely data processing. Payment on Receipt is also known as Evaluated Receipt Settlement. Payment on Receipt automatically creates invoices with multiple items and distribution lines, and includes sales tax. You must define which suppliers participate in Payment on Receipt and enforce matching rules to ensure the proper payments are made to the suppliers. The amount on the invoice is determined by multiplying the Quantity received by the Purchase Order Item Unit Price. The Payment Terms on the invoice default from the purchase order payment terms. The Payment Currency defaults from the supplier site. Sales Tax is calculated based on the Tax Codes on each Purchase Order Line. A single invoice can be created for one or more items as long as the items have not been previously invoiced and purchase order matched. In addition, if your purchase order contains multiple distribution lines, you can create an invoice in Oracle Payables with the same multiple distribution lines. When creating multiple distribution lines for invoices with partial receipt quantities, the Pay on Receipt AutoInvoice program will either prorate the charges across all your purchase order distribution lines (for the received item) or use the FIFO method if you utilize Cascading Receipts. After the invoice has been created, you are able to make changes to the invoice distribution in accordance with the current Oracle Payables system functionality. Invoices created automatically are subject to the same matching rules as standard invoices to ensure proper payment. Oracle Payables requires that you approve invoices before you post or pay them. Approvals may be handled interactively or by batch process. All discrepancies and/or adjustments must be handled manually using the appropriate online Purchasing, Receiving, and/or Payables windows. The Pay on Receipt AutoInvoice program automatically creates an invoice batch depending on the AP system option. Invoice count and invoice totals are calculated automatically.

Step 7.0

Submit Payables Invoice Import

Once the Supplier ships the goods an invoice is generated and sent to Accounts Payable. This can be done via the selected method (EDI, Fax, e-mail or Mail) notifying the company of the shipping of the product. In order to automate the process either a flat file or and EDI transaction must be sent and that information can electronically imported into Oracle applications via the Invoice Import process. As part of the Purchasing Agreement with the Supplier, certain data has to be send in the invoice file. Some examples are Supplier Name, Invoice Number, Invoice Date, Invoice Amount and Purchase Order Number. Additionally, there are certain data that will be passed to the Open Interface Tables. Examples of this data are Set of Books, Type of Payment (Check vs. EFT) and Distribution information. The number of needed fields will be part of the implementation discovery process. The following occurs as Payables Open Interface Import is submitted: Oracle Payables validates the Non-Oracle invoices that are loaded into the Invoice Tables, and creates invoices for the Non-Oracle invoice information that are loaded into the Invoice Tables. A SQL*Loader program has been created to take the flat file, with the information, and load it into temporary Oracle Payables Invoice Import Interface Tables. The following steps must be executed to take the information loaded in the Payables Invoice Import Interface Tables and load them into Oracle Payables.

Payables Open Interface Audit Report After the Payables Open Interface Import process is complete, the Payables Open Interface Audit Report is automatically created. It is imperative that you review this report each time this process is run to verify that it completed and either invoices were imported successfully or there were errors that need to be corrected. Additionally, this report will inform you if there were no records to interface. If the Open Interface Import process completes successfully and imports invoices, the report will show the Supplier Number, Supplier Name, Invoice Number, Invoice Date, Invoice Amount, Distribution Number, Distribution Amount and Accounting Date. If the Open Interface Import process does not import any invoices, you can review the Payables Open Interface Rejections Report which is also automatically produced after the process is complete. This report informs you of the Invoices that are in error, and what caused the invoice to error out. The Payable Open Interface Rejections Report identify reason (s) why the Non-Oracle invoice information did not import properly. For example, duplicate invoice numbers or invalid supplier could be one of variety of reasons why the information did not import properly.
