Use the Format Programs window to define additional receipt or remittance format programs that you use to create receipt documents such as checks or bills receivable. You can define as many receipt programs as you want. Receivables provides sample receipt programs that you can use to create and format receipt and remittance documents. If you need a different automatic receipt program, you should copy the standard program and modify it. If you create a custom receipt program, the name of your payment program cannot exceed eight characters.
The default Automatic Receipt print program is called Print Created Receipts (ARXAPFRC.rdf) and is located in the $AR_TOP/reports directory.
You specify whether each program is used for the creation, printing, or transmission of automatic receipts or remittances and provide a short, descriptive name for your receipt programs and the program name that you or Receivables defines in Oracle Application Object Library. You choose a receipt or remittance program by the short name when you define your programs for printing and transmitting your receipts and remittances.
Note: If you have installed European localizations, the Format Programs window displays any country-specific receipt and remittance format programs for your country in addition to the standard Oracle Receivables programs. For more information about the country-specific programs, please refer to the Oracle Financials user's guide for your country.
Prerequisites
Create a receipt program using Oracle Reports.
Register your program with Receivables.
Note: Only your System Administrator can register a program. For more information, refer to System Administration Setup Tasks, Oracle E-Business Suite Setup Guide.
Navigate to the Format Programs window.
Enter the Name for this automatic receipt or remittance program.
Suggestion: Since you can use both a format receipts and a transmit receipts program with a single receipt format, you should give both the same name. You can use the same name even if the program type is different.
Enter the Type of program you are defining. Receivables recognizes the following types of receipt and remittance programs:
Print Created Receipts: A program you use to create a batch of automatic receipts.
Transmit Created Receipts: A program you use to format the output of automatic receipts that you have created on to a magnetic medium.
Print Bank Remittance: A program you use to print a batch of your remittances.
Transmit Bank Remittance: A program you use to format the output of bank remittance batches that you have created on to a magnetic medium.
Print Transaction: A program you use to print bills receivable transactions.
Enter the Registered Name of this receipt program. This is the name that your System Administrator used to register the program. If you create a custom receipt program, the name of your payment program cannot exceed eight characters.
