Viewing Accounting Lines in Receivables

When you query a invoice, payment, or adjustment in Oracle Receivables, you can choose to view the detail accounting lines for the queried transaction in the form of a balanced accounting entry (i.e., debits equal credits). You can also choose to view the detail accounting as t-accounts. Use these features to see how a transaction affects the account balances in your general ledger.

To view accounting lines:

  1. Query the invoice, payment, or adjustment for which you want to view accounting lines.

    Note: Transactions include invoices, debit/credit memos, chargebacks, deposits, and guarantees. Receipts include cash or miscellaneous receipts.

  2. Choose View Accounting from the Tools menu.

    The View Invoice Accounting, View Payment Accounting, or View Adjustment Accounting window appears, depending on whether you queried an invoice, payment, or adjustment.

    See: View Accounting Windows.

  3. (Optional) If your organization uses Multiple Reporting Currencies, choose the Alternate Currency button to view the accounting using an alternate currency. For example, if you are viewing the accounting in your primary functional currency (e.g., BEF), you can switch to EUR (reporting functional currency).

    From the poplist that appears after you choose the Alternate Currency button, choose the ledger whose transactions you want to view. The View Invoice Accounting, View Payment Accounting, or View Adjustment Accounting window changes to reflect amounts in the appropriate currency for the chosen ledger.

  4. (Optional) To view the accounting detail as t-accounts, choose the T-Accounts button.

    See: T-Accounts.
