Oracle WebCenter Imaging (WCI) for AP WCI for AP replaces legacy MarkView WCI assists in processing all incoming invoices electronically (not from paper) WCI utilizes Oracle Forms Recognition (similar to Optical Character Recognition) Invoices can be ingested into the system via email (instead of fax) or scanned 6
How Do Invoices Get In? Vendors should email invoices to sdsuapinv@mail.sdsu.edu NOTE: only 1 invoice per attachment! Vendors can also email PDRs to sdsuapveninfo@mail.sdsu.edu PO template includes email address Campus can also use sdsuapinv@mail 7
What Happens Next? After invoices are received either via email or scan ingestion, the invoices are OFR d (verified for accuracy of data); then the invoices are imported into Oracle NOTE: do not write on invoices! Invoices with no invoice number will be auto-assigned Financials and further processing will occur either in Oracle ebs or WCI 8
If Invoice is Matched to a PO: Standard processing in financials takes place to process PO invoice for payment: If 3-way, receiving will be required; If 2-way, new AME hold will require release from PO Deliver To person Once holds are addressed, invoice will process for payment 9
Sample 2-Way Hold Notification 10
If Invoice is a Non-PO Invoice: Invoice coding instructions will be required Campus Business Coders will code the invoice for payment (charge account) Invoice will be routed for invoice approval based on FAH Org/Fund and Dollar Amount All employees on the FAH have Business Coder and Request Info access And all Oracle users have Invoice Search 11
Will I See What AP Sees? All WCI users will have the same client viewer for viewing images There are two modes: Basic Viewer and Advanced Viewer Viewer requires Java 6 or 7 on the desktop You ll need to add a couple trusted sites Turn off Compatibility Mode in IE browser! Annotations can only be placed using the Advanced Viewer 12
More on the Viewer WCI is comprised of two elements: 1) the image; 2) the work item The work item is what you ll be asked to act upon (like doing invoice coding or supplying requested info to AP) Comments placed on the actual work item are transitory and not permanent; once the work item is completed, the comments are gone! 13
So Here s What it Looks Like! 14
So What s My Role? If you are on a FAH, you might be asked to provide coding info on an invoice or you could receive a work item requesting information (Request for Info) If either of these notifications are sent to you, there is a work item task for you to complete in Oracle WCI! 15
Email Notifications 16
Logging into Oracle WCI Log into Oracle ebs Financials and use the appropriate link on your Home Page. Then log into Oracle WCI! Remember - WebCenter Imaging uses your AztecLink credentials (RedID + Password) to log you in 17

So How Do I Code an Invoice? 20

Remember to be in Advanced Viewer, and don t forget to save! Click on Complete for the task so it will return to Accounts Payable! 21
Can I Search for Invoices? Absolutely! You can search using the Payables Inquiry responsibility and see the image attachment the same way you did with MarkView as an attachment; Or you can search in Oracle WCI using the Oracle WCI Image Search link on your Oracle Home page: 22
