Oracle Applications printing options

Oracle Receivables provides an invoice printing program. You should examine the format of the Oracle Receivables invoices and the invoice printing program and determine if it meets your business requirements. If it does not, you can modify the standard report or create a new report.

You can print invoices from Oracle Projects. To do this, you need to write a custom invoice printing program. The benefits of printing invoices from Oracle Projects rather than Oracle Receivables is that you can print invoices once they are released in Oracle Projects without waiting until the invoices are interfaced to Oracle Receivables.

You may create a custom report which you use to download released invoices data from Oracle Projects into a spreadsheet, word processor, or any other tool to do flexible formatting.

Attention: If you print or download invoices from Oracle Projects, you should process only released invoices. With this precaution, you ensure that the invoice is not changed after it is printed. Invoices cannot be changed once they are released in Oracle Projects; the released invoices may be credited but not changed.

Suggestion: If you print or download invoices from Oracle Projects, you can record the date that the invoice is processed using the Extracted Date column in the draft invoices table. Oracle Projects does not currently use this column.

If you tax some invoice lines, you must print invoices with taxable lines after the invoices are interfaced to Oracle Receivables because the Oracle Receivables AutoInvoice program calculates the tax for taxable invoice lines of Oracle Projects invoices. You can print the invoices from Oracle Receivables or from Oracle Projects. If you print from Oracle Projects, you need to report the tax data from the Oracle Receivables invoice tables.

If you want to print the remit to address on the invoice, you must print invoices after the invoices are interfaced to Oracle Receivables because Oracle Receivables determines the remit to address for invoices.
