If you have installed Oracle Purchasing, you can increase the efficiency of your procurement cycle by generating payments to suppliers based on receipt transactions. These receipts include Advance Shipment Notices (ASNs) and Advance Shipment and Billing Notices (ASBNs) that you receive electronically in Purchasing. See: Advance Shipment Notice (ASN/ASBN), Oracle Purchasing User's Guide.

You can set up your suppliers to be paid either on receipt or delivery, and you can choose the level of invoice consolidation: packing slip, receipt, or supplier pay site. After receipt or delivery transactions are created, you can submit the Pay on Receipt AutoInvoice Program to automatically import invoices that are matched to corresponding purchase orders. After the Payables Open Interface Import process completes, you can then validate and pay these purchase order matched invoices using standard Payables payment processing functionality. See: Payment on Receipt, Oracle Purchasing User's Guide.

If you enable the supplier site option, Create Debit Memo from RTS Transaction, then when you enter RTS (Return to Supplier) transactions in Purchasing, the system automatically creates unvalidated debit memos in Payables that are matched to the purchasing document specified on the purchase order shipment.
