Document Sequencing of Payments : AP Module 12 Release New Features

Document Sequencing of Payments

If you used document sequencing for payments in Release 11i, your document sequence category has been migrated from the payment document, which is associated with a bank account and hence, legal entity in Release 12, to the bank account uses entity. If you require, you can also specify the document sequence category at the bank account payment method and payment document levels. These changes are necessary to preserve the option of having document sequence categories vary across operating Units. 

Integration with Oracle Payments for Funds Disbursement

The process to issue payments from Oracle Payables (AP) changes in Release 12 to use the new Oracle Payments funds disbursement process. The benefit of these changes is to help ensure an implementation that best supports a controlled and efficient disbursement flow, and provide enhancements over the way payment processing was set up in different products.

A significant change for Payables users is that Payments uses XML Publisher for payment formatting. During the upgrade, Payments will upgrade the seeded Payables payment formats to Payments formats that can be used with configurable XML Publisher templates. If you have custom payment formats, you need to migrate them to XML Publisher in order to use them in Release 12. Payments continues to use the concept of Payment Methods, as they worked in Payables, however there are some minor enhancements, which are noted below. The Future Dated Payments feature has been renamed to Bills Payable in Release 12 and setup has moved from the payment document on an internal bank account to the payment method in Oracle Payments.

In Release 12, the process of making EDI payments using Oracle e-Commerce Gateway has changed, details are noted below.

In Release 12, the Automatic Bank Transmission and XML Payments features are obsolete, as Oracle Payments provides enhanced features that meet the same requirements.

During the upgrade, payment batches in Payables are upgraded to payment instructions in Oracle Payments. Payments created in those payment batches, however, are not upgraded. Payments remain in Oracle Payables for review and reporting. In Release 12, new payments can be viewed in both Payments and Payables.

Payment Formats

During the Release 12 Oracle Payments upgrade, one Oracle XML Publisher template is created and linked to one Oracle Payments format for each Oracle Payables (AP) payment program that is linked to a format definition. In Payables, you can create different format definitions linked to the same payment program. So for each AP format definition, the upgrade creates one Payment Process Profile linked to the Oracle Payments format.

The payment programs that controlled the building and formatting of payments and the programs that created the separate remittance advice documents are obsolete with Release 12 and the integration with Oracle Payments.

The following tables display the mapping from seeded 11i AP Payment Formats to the new Release 12 Oracle Payments XML Publisher Formats. Obsolete formats are so noted.

Payment Methods

The upgrade migrates the seeded payment methods of check, electronic, wire, and clearing from Payables to the new, extensible Oracle Payments payment method entity.

Note the following changes:

• Wire - No longer restricted to payments made outside Oracle Applications. You can link this payment method to a payment process profile for actual wire transfers.
• Clearing - Seeded as inactive in Payments since users have enhanced options for handling intercompany processing in Release 12. It is recommended that you no longer use this payment method, but rather use the new Intercompany-processing feature.

EDI Payments using Oracle e-Commerce Gateway

The process to create EDI payments using Oracle e-Commerce Gateway has changed in Release 12. The EDI Outbound Program (APECEPYO) is obsolete. Setting the value for the Electronic Processing Channel in the Payment Process Profile setup page controls integration with Oracle e-Commerce Gateway. Release 11i format definitions are upgraded into payment process profiles with the electronic processing channel set appropriately. The format information on the process profile is populated with a seeded format. Actual formatting and transmission is performed by Oracle e-Commerce Gateway.

Certain fields were set in the Suppliers form for EDI payment information. In Release 12, these fields have been consolidated with standard payment details fields entered for a supplier, and the data values are migrated during the upgrade. The following table provides a mapping between the field names for the releases.
