Defining Automatic Accounting in Oracle Receivables

Because the Automatic Accounting feature in Oracle Receivables is different from the AutoAccounting feature in Oracle Projects, you need to define Automatic Accounting for both Oracle Receivables and Oracle Projects.

The Oracle Receivables Automatic Accounting feature determines default general ledger accounts for your invoice transactions. You need to implement Oracle Receivables AutoAccounting before you can run the Oracle Receivables AutoInvoice feature.

However, Oracle Projects invoices do not use the AutoAccounting transactions created by Oracle Receivables. The accounting transactions determined by the AutoAccounting feature in Oracle Projects are passed to the AutoInvoice interface tables and are used by AutoInvoice when creating invoices in Oracle Receivables. The only AutoAccounting codes in Oracle Receivables that are used for Oracle Projects invoices are those for tax. If you use AutoInvoice to import invoices from another source, you need to define AutoAccounting codes that apply to those invoices.

You use the Oracle Receivables Accounting window to set up automatic account codes for the following account types. You need to define account codes for each account type.

You provide specific information to indicate how you want Oracle Receivables to generate the account codes.
