Accounting for Invoices and Payments: Explained
You can create accounting entries for invoice and payment transactions using Oracle Fusion Subledger Accounting. Subledger Accounting creates the final accounting for subledger journal entries and transfers the accounting to Oracle Fusion General Ledger. Subledger Accounting uses a set of predefined account rules to create accounting, but you can define your own detailed accounting rules.
Payables Event Classes and Types
Payables predefines accounting event classes and accounting event types that are used by Subledger Accounting. You can modify the accounting setup to create accounting for some events and not for others.
This table describes the event classes and types that Payables predefines for invoices and payments.
Event Class Event Type
Bills Payable • Bill Payable Matured • Bill Payable Maturity Adjusted
• Bill Payable Maturity Reversed
Credit Memos • Credit Memo Adjusted • Credit Memo Canceled • Credit Memo Validated
Debit Memos • Debit Memo Adjusted

Applying Credits Up to Zero Amount Payments: Examples
When you submit a payment process request, you can enable the Apply credits up to zero
amount payment option. Enabling the option causes the payment process to apply credits when
the credits reduce the payment amount below zero.
The following scenarios illustrate the impact of this option.
Invoice Amount Greater Than Credit Amount
An invoice for 200 USD and a credit memo for 125 USD are due for payment. The option setting has no effect because the payment amount with the applied credit is 75 USD, which is greater than zero.
Credit Amount Greater Than Invoice Amount
An invoice for 200 USD and a credit memo for 225 USD are due for payment.
The following table describes the payment processing that occurs based on the setting for the
Apply credits up to zero amount payment option.
Setting Payment Processing
Enabled Applies 200 USD of the credit memo to the invoice and creates a payment for 0 USD.
The remaining credit is 25 USD.
DisabledDoesn't select the invoice or credit memo for payment because the credit reduces the payment to -25 USD, which is less than zero.
The Maximize Credits Option: How It Is Processed
You can use the Apply credits up to zero amount payment option, which is on the Submit
Payment Process Request page, to offset credit amounts against standard invoices issued by your supplier. This option is applicable only when the total credit amount for a payment process request is greater than the total standard invoice amount. If you don't use the option, and the total credit amount for a payment process request is greater than the total standard invoice amount, no invoices are selected for payment and the payment process request terminates. Navigate to:
Navigator > Payables menu > Payments link > Payments Tasks pane > Submit Payment Process Request link > Submit Payment Process Request page.
Settings That Affect the Maximize Credits Option
To enable the maximize credits option, select the Apply credits up to zero amount payment check box on the Payment and Processing Options tab of the Submit Payment Process Request page.
How the Maximize Credits Option Is Processed
The following table shows payment installments that are available for selection in a payment process request where the total standard invoice amount is greater than the total credit amount.
Invoice Number Type Amount (USD) SINV1001 Standard Invoice 100
SINV1002 Standard Invoice 50
SINV1003 Standard Invoice 200
SINV1004 Standard Invoice 150
CM100 Credit Memo -100
CM101 Credit Memo -150
In the preceding table, the assumption is that all available installments in the payment process request are selected. For this example, the following is true:
Invoice total = $500 Credit total = $ -250 Payment total = $250
Since the invoice total is greater than the credit total, the total payment amount is a positive $250. In this scenario, the maximize credits option is irrelevant.
The following table shows payment installments that are available for selection in a payment process request where the total standard invoice amount is less than the total credit amount.
Invoice Number Type Amount (USD) SINV1001 Standard Invoice 100
SINV1002 Standard Invoice 50
SINV1003 Standard Invoice 200
SINV1004 Standard Invoice 150
CM100 Credit Memo -100
CM101 Credit Memo -150
CM102 Credit Memo -300
CM103 Credit Memo -200
In the preceding table, the assumption is that all available installments in the payment process request are selected. For this example, the following is true:
Invoice total = $500 Credit total = $ -750 Payment total = $ -250
Since the invoice total is less than the credit total, the total payment amount is a negative $ -250. When the payment amount is negative, Oracle Fusion Payments checks whether the Apply
credits up to zero amount payment check box is selected.
If the maximize credits option is selected, the application creates a zero payment by offsetting the credit memos against the standard invoices. When the credit total is a negative amount,
Payments selects invoice installments and adjusts credit memo amounts so that the total amount of the payment process request is zero as shown in the following table.
Invoice Number Type Amount (USD) SINV1001 Standard Invoice 100
SINV1002 Standard Invoice 50
SINV1003 Standard Invoice 200
SINV1004 Standard Invoice 150
CM100 Credit Memo -50
CM101 Credit Memo -150
CM102 Credit Memo -300
In the preceding table, the assumption is that the payment process request selects all available invoice installments and selects and adjusts specific credit memos. For this example, the following is true:
Invoice total = $500 Credit total = $ -500 Payment total = $0
Note: CM103 is not selected and the amount for CM100 is adjusted from -100 to -50 to equal the payment total of zero, 0 USD.
If the maximize credits option is deselected, the payment process request is terminated with a message that indicates no invoices were selected
Pay Through Dates and Payment Dates in Payment Process Requests: Examples
Payment process requests use the Pay Through Date and Payment Date values to determine whether to select an installment for payment and take a discount.
The following scenario illustrates the effect of these values in a payment process request, along with the impact of the Always Take Discount option.
Pay Through Dates and Payment Dates in Payment Process Requests
An invoice that's ready for payment has an installment with the following information: Due date of August 30, 2015
First discount date of July 15, 2015, for 150 USD Second discount date of July 30, 2015, for 100 USD
The Date Basis on the payment process request is Pay Date, and the Pay Date Basis for the supplier site is set to Discount.
This table provides examples of different Pay Through Date, Payment Date, and Always Take
Discount combinations, and the resulting installment and discount information.
Example Pay Through Date Payment Date Always Take Discount Option Installment
Selected? Discount Taken Amount
1 July 14, 2015 July 17, 2015 Enabled or disabled
No. The Pay Through Date is before the first discount date.
None. The installment isn't selected. 2 July 15, 2015 July 17, 2015 Enabled or disabled
Yes. The Pay Through Date is on or after the first discount date.
100 USD. The Payment Date is after the first discount date, but before the second
discount date.
3 July 15, 2015 July 31, 2015 Disabled Yes
None. The Payment Date is after the discount dates and the Always Take Discount option is disabled.
4 July 15,
2015
July 31,
2015 Enabled Yes
150 USD. Although the Payment Date is after the discount dates, the first discount is taken because the Always Take Discount option is enabled.
5 July 15, 2015 August 31, 2015 Disabled Yes
None. The Payment Date is after the due date and the Always Take Discount option is disabled.
Note: Interest may be
calculated depending on your settings.
6 July 15, 2015 August 31, 2015 Enabled Yes
150 USD. Although the Payment Date is after the due date, the first discount is taken because the Always Take Discount option is enabled.
Note: Interest may be
calculated depending on your settings.
Note: Results are different if the Date Basis is Due Date, or the Date Basis is Pay
Date and the supplier Pay Date Basis is Due. In this case, the payment process
request selects the installment only when the Pay Through Date is on or after the due date
Date Basis in Payment Process Requests: Examples
You can specify a date basis of either Pay date or Due date on the Selection Criteria tab on the payment process request pages. Date basis affects the installment selection and discount taken. The following scenarios illustrate the effect of the date basis setting in a payment process request.
For both scenarios, the invoice has the following information: Amount: 3,000 USD
Due date: March 31
First discount date: February 15 First discount amount : 150 USD Second discount date: February 28 Second discount amount: 100 USD
The payment process request includes the following selection criteria: Payment date: February 8
Pay through date: March 30
Pay Date
If you set the Date Basis field to Pay date, the Pay Date Basis setting on the supplier site also affects the installment selection and discount taken.
Note: Specify the Pay Date Basis in the Terms section of the Invoicing tab on the Supplier Site pages.
The following table shows the effect of the Pay Date Basis on the payment process request.
Pay Date Basis on Supplier Site Installment Selected for Payment? Discount
Amount Additional Information
Discount Yes 150 USD
The installment is selected because the pay through date of March 30 is later than at least one of the discount dates. The discount is 150 USD because the
payment date of February 8 is before the first discount date of February 15. Note: If the payment date was after February 15, but before February 28, the second discount of 100 USD would be taken.
Due No Not The installment isn't selected because the due
applicable date of March 30.
Due Date
If you set the Date Basis field to Due date, the installment isn't selected for payment because the due date of March 31 is later than the pay through date of March 30.
What happens if I void a payment?
The accounting and payment records for the invoices that were paid are automatically reversed. If applicable, the following transactions also occur:
Realized gains or losses on foreign currency invoices are reversed.
If the Create interest invoices option on the Manage Invoice Options page is enabled, all related interest invoices are reversed.
If the invoice is associated with a withholding tax invoice and tax is withheld at payment, a reversing invoice is automatically created. This reversing invoice for the tax authority offsets the withholding tax invoice.
Note: When you void a payment, you can select to cancel the invoices, place a hold on the invoices, or leave the invoices available for payment.
Why didn't an installment get selected for payment?
An installment can meet the selection criteria of a payment process request, but not get selected for payment for one or more reasons. You can review installments that weren't selected for payment and the reasons they weren't selected, on the Not Selected tab on the Review Installments page.
Here are the reasons why an installment might not get selected for payment. An approver rejected the invoice.
The calculation for withholding tax ended in error. A credit reduced the payment amount to less than zero. The invoice must be revalidated.
The invoice requires approval. The invoice was never validated. The payment date is in a closed period.
Having the payment date before the system date isn't allowed. The installment is on hold.
The supplier site is on payment hold.
The installment was manually removed from the payment process request. Zero amount installments are excluded from payment.
