Generating Accounts for Oracle Purchasing
Oracle Purchasing uses the Account Generator for all requisitions and purchase orders, whether they are project-related or not. Oracle Purchasing provides a set of default Account Generator processes for the accounts it needs to build.
In Oracle Purchasing, the following accounts are generated by the Account Generator:
- Purchase Order Charge Account
- Purchase Order Budget Account
- Purchase Order Variance Account
- Purchase Order Accrual Account
- Requisition Charge Account
- Requisition Budget Account
- Requisition Variance Account
- Requisition Accrual Account
Oracle Purchasing provides the default Account Generator processes for these accounts. If you want to derive the accounts based on project information, you must change the default processes to use the project information.
