You can interface costed expense reports to Oracle Payables whenever you are ready and as many times during an accounting period as you want.

Submitting Processes

Attention: You must run the Distribute Expense Report Costs process before you interface expense reports with Oracle Payables. This process groups expenditure items into batches of expense reports and determines the expense account held in the cost distribution line.

You use the following streamline options to interface expense reports with Oracle Payables:

· DXES	Distribute and Interface Expense Report Costs to AP (Summarized report)
· DXEU	Distribute and Interface Expense Report Costs to AP (Detailed report)
· XES	Interface Expense Report Costs to AP (Summarized report)
· XEU	Interface Expense Report Costs to AP (Detailed report)
· DTE	Distribute and Interface Expense Report Costs to AP
· ITES	AP Invoice Import (Summarized report) and Tieback Expense Reports
· ITEU	AP Invoice Import (Detailed report) and Tieback Expense Reports

Note: Summarized reports contain expense report lines summarized by code combination ID. Detailed report processes generate an invoice distribution in Oracle Payables for each detail expense report cost distribution line. See: PA: Summarize Expense Report Lines.

You submit a streamline process using the PRC: Submit Interface Streamline Process option of the Submit Request form.

If you need to perform an individual function (such as interfacing expense reports), you can use an individual process.

Attention: You must use the same report mode, either summarized or detailed, to interface expense report costs to Oracle Payables and to tieback the same expense reports, regardless of whether you submit a streamline process or an individual process.

The streamline processes which include distribution processes (DXES, DXEU and DTE) should not be run during critical processing times. You should run the individual distribute processes, and then run the interface and tieback streamline processes later. This will speed up the cycle of getting project information to project managers.
