1 INTRODUCTION
Oracle Release 12.0 is designed to increase the ease with which we understand and process our worldwide business
and address compliance in every nation. It reflects the maturity of several initiatives designed to rationalize sub
ledger bookkeeping, generalize transaction tax compliance and improve access to sub ledger data, with the intention
of both facilitating sub ledger shared services and improving and standardizing throughput
Some of the new features introduced in Oracle Release 12 are:

a) Change in concept of set of books:


The ledger is a new fundamental concept in Release 12 and replaces the 11i concept of a set of books. While a
set of books is defined by 3 C’s, chart of accounts, functional currency, and accounting calendar, the ledger is
defined by an additional 4th C: the accounting method. This 4th C allows you to assign and manage a specific
accounting method for each ledger. Ledgers can be combined into ledger sets based on some criteria, and GL
users are assigned with the ledger sets.

b) Legal Entity
Business enterprises can now clearly and efficiently model its legal entities and their accounting representations
in Release 12. Therefore, when a legal entity is subject to multiple reporting requirements, separate ledgers can
be used to record the accounting information.Legal Entities can be mapped to entire Ledgers or if you account
for more than one legal entity within a ledger, you can map a legal entity to balancing segments within a ledger.

c) Primary Ledger & Secondary Ledger:


Now there is a primary ledger to act as the main record keeping ledger and one or more secondary ledgers to
retain alternate representations for the different reporting requirements.Each secondary ledger can differ from
the primary ledger by the chart of accounts, calendar, currency, and accounting method. In R12, Multiple
Reporting Currencies (MRC) is renamed to Reporting Currencies and vastly improved the setup and
integration of reporting currencies.

d) Introduction of new segment:


In terms of management reporting, you can now designate a segment in your chart of accounts as the
management segment, such as a Dept, Line of Business, or CostCenter-something with management
responsibility. A new feature called Data Access Sets allows you to specify read only or read and write access
for a legal entity, ledger, balancing segment value or management segment value.

2 DELTA FEATURES OF PAYABLES IN RELEASE 12


New interface for Suppliers Entry and Maintenance
Now Supply Entry and Maintenance is done through a new HTML user interface. It has an ability to tailor a
quick update page for faster maintenance. The new addition is of a survey section, which is to provide access
to supplier questionnaires.(Details are Discussed further)

Representation of Suppliers in the Trading Community Architecture (TCA)


TCA is a single repository to store information about the trading partners – customers, suppliers and
organization. TCA registry ID is also gets created along with the Supplier number. Following are the features
of TCA:
 Data Librarian Function & Processes
 Integrated Enrichment Capabilities including D&B
 Address Validation
 Data Consistency
 Ease of Data Maintenance

Introduction of Invoice Lines


Oracle Payables incorporates Invoice Lines into the invoice model. Adding Invoice Lines a key architectural
change, which enables Oracle Payables to better model the paper or electronic business document yet
maintain key features that exist at the invoice distributions level.
Now invoices are modeled as Headers, Lines & Distributions

 Comes close to real-life Invoice Documents


 Consistent AP Model – Enhanced Matching
 Granularity of Workflow Approval
 Support Applicability Model for Tax
 Better support for Corrections

Enhanced Invoice Approval Includes Line Level Approval


With the introduction of Invoice Lines, users are able to further extend their approval policy by getting
approved one specific line or set of lines for PO matched Invoices.Approvers view only the information that
they can approve or reject.

Multi-Org Access Control


MOAC is a sub feature of Access Control that enables you to define multiple Organizations and the
relationships among them within a single installation of Oracle Applications.The primary advantage of
MOAC is that you can take action on documents in different operating units without logging into different
responsibilities. Data security is maintained using security profiles that are defined for a list of operating
units for which specific users are given data access privileges.

Enhancements to Payment Banks, Branches and Accounts


Shared Service approaches to disbursement and collections are enhanced by the deployment of Oracle Cash
Management’s new Bank Account model. It provides a single access point for defining and managing internal
bank accounts for Oracle Payables, Oracle Receivables, Oracle Payroll, Oracle Cash Management, and Oracle
Treasury.Banks and Bank Branches are represented in Oracle’s Trading Community Architecture and shared
by other Oracle E-Business Suite applications. The Bank Account is centrally defined, managed and secured
and includes the legal ownership and operating unit access for each bank account

Accounts Receivable / Accounts Payable Netting


It is a new feature in R12 which enables automatic netting of Payable and receivable transactions within a
business enterprise. It also leads to automatic creation of Payables payments and Receivables receipts to clear
a selected number of Payables and Receivables transactions.

Non PO Invoices Entered via iSupplier Portal

be verified and approved
