Integrating Expense Reports with Oracle Payables

Oracle Projects integrates with Oracle Payables so that you can easily create and pay invoices for your project accounting expense reports in Oracle Payables. You enter expense reports in Oracle Projects and use Oracle Payables features to create invoices from the expense reports, maintain and track payment of them, and interface the accounting transactions to Oracle General Ledger.

When you send expense reports to Oracle Payables, you use an Oracle Projects process which collects all eligible costed expense reports in Oracle Projects and interfaces them to the Oracle Payables interface tables. This process also creates accounting transactions for the expense report liability amounts.

Once moved to these interface tables, the expense reports await further processing by the Oracle Payables Invoice Import program. This program automatically creates invoices and invoice distribution lines from the expense report information you load into the interface tables.

After you run Invoice Import to create invoices in Oracle Payables, you tie back successfully interfaced expense reports as well as rejected expense reports using another Oracle Projects process. Rejected expense reports are corrected, and interfaced again to Oracle Payables.

You can use standard reports to track your expense reports as you interface data between applications. You can also use Invoice Import output reports to review imported transaction data and transaction data that fails when you run Invoice Import.

You can also use Oracle Payables features to create prepayments or advances, and apply them against Oracle Projects expense reports and invoices in Oracle Payables. These features are described in the pages that follow.
