OPM MAC TransiRons to SLA R12 OPM Oracle Inventory Purchasing Order Management GMD, GME Cost Setup Calculate Cost Store Costs SLA Oracle GL Slide 12
OPM MAC TransiRons to SLA OPM MAC Completed material and/or resource transactions SLA Completed material and/or resource transactions OPM Costing Engine generates costs OPM Costing Engine generates costs Cost Pre-processor will create accounting Events OPM Subledger process processes these transactions to create Journal entries SLA accounting program processes the events to create the journal entries Slide 13
OPM MAC Transitions to SLA p Most of the steps are automated using migration scripts p All the Account Definitions are migrated as ADRs p Manual Steps to be completed include: Assign Account Derivation Rules to Journal Line Definitions Validate Application Accounting Definition Assign User Subledger Accounting Method to Ledger Slide 14
OPM MAC TransiRons to SLA p Historical OPM Subledger distribution data not migrated to SLA Data refers to OPM Inventory p Historical data available in query mode Slide 15
OPM MAC TransiRons to SLA Update the Account Derivation Rule conditions. Ex: Add Item/Item Class/Organizations Validate the Application Accounting Definition Run OPM Accounting Pre-Processor Run OPM Accounting Pre-Processor Run Create Accounting in Draft mode Check Create Accounting report and Journal Entries report Run Create Accounting in Final mode to create GL accounting entries Slide 16
OPM MAC TransiRons to SLA p NO LOSS of funcronality by moving to SLA model p New menus created under OPM Financials for new SLA forms p Fiscal Policy and Event Fiscal Policy screens retained with minor modificarons. Most of the fields will be read- only. p OPM Event model mapped to SLA event model Slide 17
SLA Process Overview p Subledger accounrng is an intermediate step between subledger products and the Oracle General Ledger p Each transacron that requires accounrng is represented by a complete and balanced subledger journal entry, stored in a common data model. Slide 18
SLA Setup and Process Overview JOURNAL ENTRY SETUPS PROCESS Define/copy and modify account deriva(on rules Enter Transac(on(s) Cost Manager Define/copy and modify journal line types Create Accoun(ng* Transfer Journal Entries to GL Define/copy and modify descrip(ons *Run Create Accoun(ng Cost Management concurrent request for accoun(ng all transac(ons from the Cost Management SLA responsibility. Receiving Accoun(ng can be generated in the Purchasing and Cos(ng responsibili(es using the Create Accoun(ng Receiving concurrent request. These requests have an op(on to transfer the entries into General Ledger, as either unposted or posted. A separate G/L process is also available. Slide 19

R12 Cost AccounRng and Inquiries (Discrete CosRng Example) Even if you use Standard CosRng in R12 you must record accounrng entries by cost element Slide 22
Subledger AccounRng and Inquiries (Discrete CosRng View AccounRng Example) Slide 23
New SLA Reports: Journal Entries & Account Analysis Reports Menu path: System Administrator => Security => Responsibility => Request Use System Administrator to put this on your custom menu and custom Request Group There are two G/L SLA reports to try. You may prefer the Account Analysis Report as it has the account range parameters already displayed (XLAAARPT) Slide 24
New SLA Reports: Subledger ReporRng Across All Modules Custom Menu Path: General Ledger, Vision OperaRons (USA) => Reports => Request => Standard => Account Analysis Report Slide 25
New SLA Reports: Subledger ReporRng Across All Modules Custom Menu path: Cost Management => Report => TransacRons => Account Analysis Report Tailor this report in BI Publisher to add or remove available columns. Slide 26
New SLA Reports: Subledger ReporRng Across All Modules Custom Menu Path: General Ledger, Vision OperaRons (USA) => Reports => Request => Standard => Journal Entries Report Tailor this report in the Concurrent Program definiron to display addironal parameters such as account ranges. They are seeded but not displayed (XLAJELINESRPT) Slide 27
New SLA Reports: Subledger ReporRng Across All Modules Custom Menu path: General Ledger, Vision OperaRons (USA) => Reports => Request => Standard => Journal Entries Report Tailor this report in BI Publisher to add or remove available columns. Slide 28
New SLA Reports: Subledger Reporting Across All Modules Menu path: System Administrator => Concurrent => Program => Define => Journal Entries Report There are many available parameters for you to use. Customize the BI Publisher template to enable these parameters These same concepts work for the Journal Entries Cost Management Report as well Slide 29
COGS RecogniRon p In R12 customer shipment entries go to deferred COGS p Revenue and COGS are explicitly matched AR: Autoinvoice & Revenue RecogniRon Master Program CST: Inventory Cost Processor or Record Order Management CST: Collect Revenue RecogniRon InformaRon CST: Then Generate COGS RecogniRon Events p New AccounRng Entries to clear deferred COGS p Use the COGS Revenue and COGS Matching Report Slide 30
COGS RecogniRon AccounRng Entries p New AccounRng Entries to clear deferred COGS 1. Customer Shipment 10 10 2. COGS Recogni(on Inventory Deferred COGS 10 True COGS 10 p Use the COGS Revenue Matching Report Slide 31
New Deferred COGS Account Slide 32
COGS RecogniRon (ConRnued) p Dependencies This new feature introduces a dependency in the Receivables and CosRng period close processes CosRng will process COGS recogniron events in a closed inventory period unrl the Receivables period status is set to CLOSED You have to run Create AccounRng aqer you have closed your inventory orgs Having to remember to run COGS RecogniRon Processes followed by Create AccounRng may create confusion at month- end Slide 33
Related BOM Features p Fixed Component Usage Support: Support for lot- based materials that have a fixed usage regardless of the job size for discrete WIP jobs, OSFM lot- based jobs and Flow Manufacturing p Component Yield Support: You can now specify component yield factors which are separate from the assembly shrinkage. The Cost Rollup and related WIP and Planning programs support this new feature. Slide 34
Period Close DiagnosRcs p Forms Drilldown Using the same Inventory AccounRng Periods form you can drilldown to associated forms to view the problem transacrons p New workflow to norfy of failing transacrons p Period Close Pending TransacRons Report Report for the transacrons holding up the inventory accounrng period Slide 35
A/P Accruals p Perpetual A/P Accruals are Completely Rewriken Monthly load into summary tables Excellent detail and summary reporrng (same report/two templates) A/P Accrual write- offs go to your G/L Works right out of the box! p Period End Accruals: Calculate Accrual Balances at PO DistribuRon Level Period- end accrual entries stored in a separate accounrng table and automarcally reversed in the new month Uninvoiced Receipts Report and Period- End Accruals use same underlying code / same results Slide 36
A/P Accruals p Challenges with R12 Perpetual A/P Accruals Only shows your net posiron, only remaining balances Must reconcile month- by- month, cannot go back Can be difficult to idenrfy reconciliaron issues Intercompany A/P Accruals are now on the Miscellaneous A/P Accrual ReconciliaRon Report Slide 37
ReconciliaRon Improvements p Inventory Value Reports have an As of Date Inventory Value Report Receiving Value Report Intransit Value Report All Inventories Value Report This new feature solves the report cut- off issues at period- end Slide 38
ReconciliaRon Challenges p Subledger AccounRng and Inventory ReconciliaRon Most Release 12 ValuaRon Reports No Longer Show Accounts Release 12 dropped the valuaron accounts on most inventory reports as you could change your SLA rules and affect your valuaron accounts These Reports Dropped Because of SLA Concerns: Receiving Value by DesRnaRon Account Report Subinventory Account Value Report Cost Group Account Value Report If you accrue expenses at Rme of receipt, you have limited visibility for expenses remaining in your Receiving InspecRon asset balances Journals from Inventory and WIP no longer display the Org Code on the G/L Batch Header Slide 39
ReconciliaRon Challenges (Cont d) p Material and WIP DistribuRon Inquiries and Reports Release 12 Material and WIP distriburon inquiries & reports do not reflect the SLA results But SLA Journal Reports do not show operaronal informaron (you can tailor the output, there are another 50+ hidden fields) Release 12 records the Material accounrng and WIP accounrng entries by cost element rendering the old 11i inquiries and reports more difficult to use, especially for Standard CosRng. If using Standard CosRng, in R12, all WIP & Material accounrng entries are wriken by Cost Element / you can summarize in SLA but you don t have the same detail reporrng in SLA The material transacron accounrng table may triple in size when you go from R11i summary entries to R12 entries by Cost Element Slide 40
Subledger AccounRng p SLA Basic Architecture Enter Transac(on(s) Cost Manager Same Cost Transac(on Accoun(ng Tables One Common Accoun(ng Subledger Table Transac(on Accoun(ng Tables SLA Accoun(ng Tables XLA_EVENTS G/L Tables GL_LEDGERS Create Accoun(ng XLA_AE_HEADERS GL_ INTERFACE GL_JE_BATCHES XLA_AE_LINES GL_JE_HEADERS XLA_DISTRIBUTION_LIN KS GL_JE_LINES Slide 41
Cost Rollup Changes The Supply Chain Cost Rollup and Cost Rollup have been combined Slide 42
Cost Rollup Changes When you specify an Assignment Set you run the Supply Chain Cost Rollup Slide 43
ReporRng Changes for R12 (12.1 & Above) p Latest Release 12 has XML reports, lots and lots of them (But not where you expect them) Slide 44
Summary p Subledger AccounRng solves many account classificaron issues p Yet Subledger AccounRng causes addironal reconciliaron headaches Yet one more interface and batch job More levels of indirecron: mulrple accounrng tables Which accounrng table to tell your auditors and how to explain to them it is different? Must run Cost Management Subledger Period Close ExcepRons Report (by ledger but you can use Ledger Sets as well) Slide 45
Summary (ConRnued) p COGS RecogniRon works well, just have to get used to have new inventory COGS entries aqer you close the inventory accounrng periods p New period close diagnosrcs p Inventory reconciliaron issues are improved and also hindered in Release 12 Inventory value reports have as as of date But most inventory value reports have no valuaron accounts SRll only single warehouse Period Close ReconciliaRon Report not mulr- org (consider custom reports from period close snapshot table CST_PERIOD_SUMMARY) p Cost Management Reports Now Use BI Publisher Slide 46
