OPTIONAL UPTAKE OF NEW FEATURES (OPT IN)

Oracle Cloud Applications delivers new updates every quarter. This means every three months you'll receive new functionality to help you efficiently and effectively manage your business. Some features are delivered Enabled meaning they are immediately available to end users. Other features are delivered Disabled meaning you have to take action to make available. Features delivered Disabled can be activated for end users in a couple of ways:

Access the Opt In page from the New Features Work Area

Click the , and then click (under the My Enterprise heading)Navigator New FeaturesOn the New Features page, select the offering that includes new features you’d like to reviewClick for any feature you want to opt inGo to Opt InOn the Edit Features page, select the option for the feature, and then click Enable Done

If the Enable Enablecolumn includes an Edit icon instead of a check box, then click the icon, select your feature options, and click . Save and CloseClick .Done

Opt In Expiration

Occasionally, features delivered Disabled via Opt In may be enabled automatically in a future update. This is known as an Opt In Expiration. If your cloud service has any Opt In Expirations you will see a related tab in this document. Click on that tab to see when the feature was originally delivered Disabled, and when the Opt In will expire, potentially automatically enabling the feature. You can also   to see features with Opt In click hereExpirations across all Oracle Cloud Applications.

FEATURE SUMMARY

Column Definitions:

Report = New or modified, Oracle-delivered, ready to run reports.UI or Process-Based: Small Scale = These UI or process-based features are typically comprised of minor field, validation, or program changes. Therefore, the potential impact to users is minimal.UI or Process-Based: Larger Scale* = These UI or process-based features have more complex designs. Therefore, the potential impact to users is higher.

Features Delivered Disabled = Action is needed BEFORE these features can be used by END USERS. These features are delivered disabled and you choose if and when to enable them. For example, a) new or expanded BI subject areas need to first be incorporated into reports, b) Integration is required to utilize new web services, or c) features must be assigned to user roles before they can be accessed.

New Features Delivered Ready to Use (Delivered Enabled)

Achieve your PaaS application requirements such as retainage, reverse factoring arrangements, or placing invoices on hold.Create and manage purchase orders, receipt and consumption advice matched supplier invoices, and unmatched supplier invoices.Create and manage cross-currency and multi-period accounting related supplier invoices.Capture additional localizations information for the invoice header, lines, distributions, and installments using global descriptive flexfields.Capture tax determinants such as intended use and transaction business category for tax calculation purposes.Add lines to existing manually entered invoices. Perform operations on budgetary control enabled invoices.

NOTE:

If you are creating invoices for Americas localizations, then you will have to pass the values for global descriptive flexfields, as currently the values do not default for this region.

If you are updating an invoice, then you can only update certain attributes and the update applies only to those attributes. Related fields do not automatically get populated. For example, when you update the invoice date in the Create or Edit Invoice pages, related fields, such as the terms date or due date, may be automatically populated based on the invoice date you enter. Using REST API, the invoice date is updated, but the related fields are not automatically populated. Before updating a key attribute, consider the impact on the related attributes.

EXPENSES

REIMBURSABLE AMOUNT ENTRY FOR FOREIGN CURRENCY RECEIPTS IN EXPENSES MOBILE APPLICATION

Using the Expenses mobile application, you can enter an expense for a foreign currency receipt and modify the reimbursable amount if the conversion rate that is automatically populated by the application is different from what you incurred. First, you enter a receipt amount and select the currency. Then the application displays the amount in the reimbursable currency and the conversion rate it applied. If you change the reimbursable amount, then the application recalculates the conversion rate.

Additionally, the mobile application enforces conversion rate policies. If you exceed the allowed conversion rate, the application may require you to enter a justification. If your company policy prevents submission when the conversion rate exceeds the allowed limit, then you’ll receive an error.

SUBLEDGER ACCOUNTING

EXPORT AND IMPORT SUBLEDGER ACCOUNTING SETUP DATA IN BATCHES

Export and import high volume Subledger Accounting setup data with improved scalability and performance.

The setup export and import services automatically group setup data in batches and generate multiple data files to facilitate migration of high volume setup data.  You can export setup data as a configuration package or a csv file.  Export and import in batches is enabled for the following services:

Journal Entry Rule Sets ServiceMapping Sets ServiceAccount Rules ServiceDescription Rules Service

For exporting, a single zip file is generated to include all the setup data.  Then you can download the zip file and import it into the target instance. 

If a subledger accounting rule is in both the source and target instance, the rule in the target instance is replaced with the same rule exported from the source instance.  However, when a mapping set is imported to a target instance, the mappings that are already in target instance but not in the source instance remain in the target instance.

The task order for the following task lists are also modified to facilitate export and import in batches.

TIPS AND CONSIDERATIONS

The configuration package exported from a source instance prior to 19C may not be imported to a 19C instance.  Hence, you must first upgrade the source instance to 19C and then export the setup data.  Finally, import the setup data to target instance with same release.

If you are planning to migrate subledger accounting rule setup from one instance to another instance after upgrading to 19C, it is recommended to perform the following steps:

To migrate setup using configuration package:

Create a new implementation project, which includes subledger accounting rule set up tasks and set scope to the subledger for which you wish to export the setup.Create a new configuration package with the new implementation project.Export setup for the configuration package.Download the configuration package zip file.Upload the configuration package zip file to the target 19C instance and import the setup.

USE A FORMULA IN ANOTHER USER-DEFINED FORMULA IN ACCOUNTING SETUP

Define a formula by using an existing user-defined formula to derive a value for a subledger accounting entry. Define the commonly used formulas and reuse them in other formulas for consistency and ease of maintenance.

For example, to defer revenue recognition for loan origination fee over the life of the loan, you need a formula to prorate the fee amount by number of days in each period.

You must take the total fee amount and divide it by the number of days in the loan life to determine a daily fee amount.  You then multiply the daily fee amount by the number of days since loan origination to generate the prorate fee amount to be recognized by the current period.

 Prorated fee = Fee / Loan duration * Days since origination

First, you need to calculate loan duration and days since origination from the available source.

 Loan duration = Maturity date - Origination date + 1

 Days since origination = Last day of current accounting period - Origination date +1

Where, maturity date and origination date are transaction data from source system, last day of current accounting period is a system source.

Instead of defining one complex formula like this:

Prorated fee = Fee / (Maturity date - Origination date + 1) * (Last day of current accounting period - Origination date + 1)

You can define simple formula to calculate loan duration and days since origination.  Then, use them in the prorated fee formula definition.

Create a user-defined formula to calculate loan duration.

1.

To migrate setup using csv export:

Export setup component in csv format from the source instance.

Page 39: TABLE OF CONTENTS - Oracle · Export and Import Subledger Accounting Setup Data in Batches Use a Formula in Another User-Defined Formula in Accounting Setup Transactional Business

39

2.

3.

Create another user-defined formula to calculate days since origination.

Now, let's create a formula to calculate the prorated fee amount using the above formulas.

a. In the Expression section of the prorated fee formula,  click the Source button..

b. Search and select the formula defined in previous steps to define the prorated fee formula.

Page 40: TABLE OF CONTENTS - Oracle · Export and Import Subledger Accounting Setup Data in Batches Use a Formula in Another User-Defined Formula in Accounting Setup Transactional Business

40

You can now use the prorated fee formula to derive the entered amount on the fee revenue recognition multiperiod journal line.

The Create Multiperiod Accounting process calculates entered amount for the multiperiod entries as:

Entered amount = Prorated fee - Multiperiod recognized entered amount

Where, multiperiod recognized entered amount is calculated and stored in the Accounting Hub data model as the total amount recognized for the transaction in prior periods.

Page 41: TABLE OF CONTENTS - Oracle · Export and Import Subledger Accounting Setup Data in Batches Use a Formula in Another User-Defined Formula in Accounting Setup Transactional Business

41

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

TIPS AND CONSIDERATIONS

In your formula definition, you can’t use a formula that uses another formula.

For example, the following formula is invalid because the formula 'Prorated Fee' already uses another formula 'Loan Duration'.

  Prorated Fee * 10 / 100
