Other Expense Report Issues

Entering Expense Reports in Oracle Payables

You can enter expense reports in Oracle Payables using the Invoices Summary window instead of entering them in Oracle Projects. Using this form, you can enter project information for your expense report invoices similar to your supplier invoices. The expense reports you enter in Oracle Payables are interfaced to Oracle Projects as supplier invoices.

Attention: You must define appropriate expenditure types with an expenditure type class of Supplier Invoices in order to enter expense reports using the Oracle Payables Invoices Summary window. You define expenditure types in Oracle Projects in the Expenditure Types window. See: Expenditure Types.

You cannot enter project-related expense reports in the Oracle Payables Expense Reports window because currently there is no method of recording project information for the expense report lines.

Creating Expense Report Adjustments

We recommend that you create expense report adjustments in Oracle Projects. If you adjust an expense report in Oracle Payables before an invoice is created, those adjustments are not recorded in Oracle Projects, and will cause your accounts to be out of balance with Oracle Projects transactions.

All adjusting transactions from Oracle Projects are linked to the originating invoice in Oracle Payables when you interface expense reports. This allows you to reconcile all project-related expense reports in Oracle Payables, and accurately account for your cash books if you use Cash Basis Accounting.
