Oracle Order To Cash

Order to Cash cycle

steps:

• Enter the Sales Order
• Book the Sales Order
• Launch Pick Release
• Ship Confirm
• Create Invoice
• Create the Receipts either manually or using Auto Lockbox ( In this article we will concentrate on Manual creation)
• Transfer to General Ledger
• Journal Import
• Posting

Let’s get into the details of each step mentioned above.

Enter the Sales Order:

Navigation:

Order Management Super User Operations (USA)>Orders Returns >Sales Orders

Enter the Customer details (Ship to and Bill to address), Order type.

Click on Lines Tab. Enter the Item to be ordered and the quantity required.

Line is scheduled automatically when the Line Item is saved.

Scheduling/unscheduling can be done manually by selecting Schedule/Un schedule from the Actions Menu.

You can check if the item to be ordered is available in the Inventory by clicking on Availability Button.

Save the work.

Underlying Tables affected:

In Oracle, Order information is maintained at the header and line level.

The header information is stored in OE_ORDER_HEADERS_ALL and the line information in OE_ORDER_LINES_ALL when the order is entered. The column called FLOW_STATUS_CODE is available in both the headers and lines tables which tell us the status of the order at each stage.

At this stage, the FLOW_STATUS_CODE in OE_ORDER_HEADERS_ALL is ‘Entered’

Book the Sales Order:

Book the Order by clicking on the Book Order button.

Now that the Order is BOOKED, the status on the header is change accordingly.

Underlying tables affected:

At this stage:

The FLOW_STATUS_CODE in the table OE_ORDER_HEADERS_ALL would be

‘BOOKED’

The FLOW_STATUS_CODE in OE_ORDER_LINES_ALL will be

‘AWAITING_SHIPPING’.

Record(s) will be created in the table WSH_DELIVERY_DETAILS with

RELEASED_STATUS=’R’ (Ready to Release)

Also Record(s) will be inserted into WSH_DELIVERY_ASSIGNMENTS.

At the same time DEMAND INTERFACE PROGRAM runs in the background and inserts

into MTL_DEMAND

Launch Pick Release:

Navigation:

Shipping > Release Sales Order > Release Sales Orders.

Key in Based on Rule and Order Number

In the Shipping Tab key in the below:

Auto Create Delivery: Yes

Auto Pick Confirm: Yes

Auto Pack Delivery: Yes

In the Inventory Tab:

Auto Allocate: Yes

Enter the Warehouse

Click on Execute Now Button.

On successful completion, the below message would pop up as shown below.

Pick Release process in turn will kick off several other requests like Pick Slip Report,

Shipping Exception Report and Auto Pack Report

Underlying Tables affected:

If Autocreate Delivery is set to ‘Yes’ then a new record is created in the table WSH_NEW_DELIVERIES.

DELIVERY_ID is populated in the table WSH_DELIVERY_ASSIGNMENTS.

The RELEASED_STATUS in WSH_DELIVERY_DETAILS would be now set to ‘Y’ (Pick Confirmed) if Auto Pick Confirm is set to Yes otherwise RELEASED_STATUS is ‘S’ (Release to Warehouse).

Pick Confirm the Order:

IF Auto Pick Confirm in the above step is set to NO, then the following should be done.

Navigation:

Inventory Super User > Move Order> Transact Move Order

In the HEADER tab, enter the BATCH NUMBER (from the above step) of the order. Click FIND. Click on VIEW/UPDATE Allocation, then Click TRANSACT button. Then Transact button will be deactivated then just close it and go to next step.

Ship Confirm the Order:

Navigation:

Order Management Super User>Shipping >Transactions.

Query with the Order Number.

Click On Delivery Tab

Click on Ship Confirm.

The Status in Shipping Transaction screen will now be closed.

This will kick off concurrent programs like.INTERFACE TRIP Stop, Commercial Invoice, Packing Slip Report, Bill of Lading

Underlying tables affected:

RELEASED_STATUS in WSH_DELIVERY_DETAILS would be ‘C’ (Ship Confirmed)

FLOW_STATUS_CODE in OE_ORDER_HEADERS_ALL would be “BOOKED“

FLOW_STATUS_CODE in OE_ORDER_LINES_ALL would be “SHIPPED“

Create Invoice:

Run workflow background Process.

Navigation:

Order Management >view >Requests

Workflow Background Process inserts the records RA_INTERFACE_LINES_ALL with

INTERFACE_LINE_CONTEXT     =     ’ORDER ENTRY’

INTERFACE_LINE_ATTRIBUTE1=     Order_number

INTERFACE_LINE_ATTRIBUTE3=     Delivery_id

and spawns Auto invoice Master Program and Auto invoice import program which creates Invoice for that particular Order.

The Invoice created can be seen using the Receivables responsibility

Navigation:

Receivables Super User> Transactions> Transactions

Query with the Order Number as Reference.

Underlying tables:

RA_CUSTOMER_TRX_ALL will have the Invoice header information. The column INTERFACE_HEADER_ATTRIBUTE1 will have the Order Number.

RA_CUSTOMER_TRX_LINES_ALL will have the Invoice lines information. The column INTERFACE_LINE_ATTRIBUTE1 will have the Order Number.

Create receipt:

Navigation:

Receivables> Receipts> Receipts

Enter the information.

Click on Apply Button to apply it to the Invoice.

Underlying tables:

AR_CASH_RECEIPTS_ALL

Transfer to General Ledger:

To transfer the Receivables accounting information to general ledger, run General Ledger Transfer Program.

Navigation:

Receivables> View Requests

Parameters:

• Give in the Start date and Post through date to specify the date range of the transactions to be transferred.
• Specify the GL Posted Date, defaults to SYSDATE.
• Post in summary: This controls how Receivables creates journal entries for your transactions in the interface table. If you select ‘No’, then the General Ledger Interface program creates at least one journal entry in the interface table for each transaction in your posting submission. If you select ‘Yes’, then the program creates one journal entry for each general ledger account.
• If the Parameter Run Journal Import is set to ‘Yes’, the journal import program is kicked off automatically which transfers journal entries from the interface table to General Ledger, otherwise follow the topic Journal Import to import the journals to General Ledger manually.

.

Underlying tables:

This transfers data about your adjustments, chargeback, credit memos, commitments, debit memos, invoices, and receipts to the GL_INTERFACE table.

Journal Import:

To transfer the data from General Ledger Interface table to General Ledger, run the Journal Import program from Oracle General Ledger.

Navigation:

General Ledger > Journal> Import> Run

Parameters:

• Select the appropriate Source.
• Enter one of the following Selection Criteria:
  No Group ID: To import all data for that source that has no group ID. Use this option if you specified a NULL group ID for this source.
  All Group IDs: To import all data for that source that has a group ID. Use this option to import multiple journal batches for the same source with varying group IDs.
  Specific Group ID: To import data for a specific source/group ID combination. Choose a specific group ID from the List of Values for the Specific Value field.
  If you do not specify a Group ID, General Ledger imports all data from the specified journal entry source, where the Group_ID is null.
• Define the Journal Import Run Options (optional)
  Choose Post Errors to Suspense if you have suspense posting enabled for your set of books to post the difference resulting from any unbalanced journals to your suspense account.
  Choose Create Summary Journals to have journal import create the following:
  • one journal line for all transactions that share the same account, period, and currency and that has a debit balance

Procure to Pay

First let’s see what the heading itself means? Procure to Pay means Procuring Raw Materials required to manufacture the final or finished Goods to Paying the Supplier from whom the material was purchased. But this is not just two steps. It involves many steps. Let’s see the steps and Oracle Application involved in performing those steps.

1. Oracle Purchasing: You enter Suppliers of different materials and products you want to purchase to manufacture a finished good that your organization plans to sell.
2. Oracle Purchasing: You prepare a Request for Quotation (RFQ) and send it to different suppliers to get the best and/or economical price for the product.
3. Oracle Purchasing: Suppliers sends their quotations and you upload those quotations in Oracle Purchasing to get the best three quotes and further to get the one best quote.
4. Oracle Purchasing: You prepare a Purchase Order(PO) against the best RFQ to buy the goods from the supplier who quoted the suitable price and sends the PO to that supplier
5. Oracle Purchasing: The supplier receives the confirmation of purchase from PO and ships the ordered goods. You receive the goods enter aGoods Received Note (GRN) in Oracle Purchasing.
6. Oracle Inventory / Oracle Assets: It’s up to you whether you want to receive the goods at your head office or you Inventory directly. In either case you move the received goods to your different Raw Material Inventory from Oracle Purchasing to Oracle Inventory and the Item Count increases. If the item is Asset Type then it will move to Oracle Assets at the time of Invoice creation in Oracle Payables.
7. Oracle General Ledger: Once you move the goods to Oracle Inventory, it sends the Material Accounting to Oracle General Ledger.
8. Oracle Payables: After this the supplier sends you the invoice for the purchased goods and you Enter or Match the invoice against the PO from Oracle Purchasing in Oracle Payables. As said before, if the item is Asset in nature then it will move to Oracle Asset.
9. Oracle General Ledger: When you enter the invoice it means that you have created a Liability against that supplier and also you have recorded the expense incurred or asset purchased. Oracle Payables sends the invoice accounting to Oracle General Ledger.
10. Oracle Payables: You pay the invoice and settle the Liability.
11. Oracle General Ledger: The liability is settled and your cash movement account is updated.
12. Oracle Cash Management: As you pay the invoice Oracle Payables sends the payment information to Oracle Cash Management for Bank Reconciliation. Once reconciled, Oracle Cash Management sends the updated Bank/Cash accounting entry to Oracle General Ledger.
13. Oracle General Ledger: Your cash at bank is updated with actual balance.
14. Oracle Process Manufacturing(OPM) / Oracle Discrete Manufacturing(ODM): You start the manufacturing of your final product. Both OPM or ODM requests the different raw materials from your inventory organizations and manufactures a finished good.
15. Oracle Inventory: As the raw materials are issued to OPM and ODM the inventory sends the issuing material accounting to General Ledger and decreases the Item Count from the Raw Material Store. As the finished good is prepared, Oracle Inventory receives the finished good in Finished Good Store and increase the Item Count. 

Now the final product is ready to be sold in the market.
