Overview of Setting Up

During setup, you define business fundamentals such as the activities you process and their accounting distributions, your accounting structure, and various control features. Setup is also the time to define comprehensive defaults that Receivables uses to make data entry more efficient and accurate. In addition, setup lets you customize Receivables to employ the policies and procedures that you use in your business.

You can set up Receivables a number of different ways. For a complete description of each setup step, see: Setup Steps.

If you use the Oracle E-Business Suite Multiple Organization Support feature, please refer to the Oracle E-Business Suite Multiple Organizations Implementation Guide before proceeding.

If you plan to use Oracle Cash Management with Oracle Receivables, additional setup steps are required. For more information, refer to the Oracle Cash Management User Guide.
