    Field Name Description
    Purchase Price Variance Enter a general ledger account to accumulate purchase price variance for this organization.
    The variance, which is the difference between the purchase order cost and an item's standard cost, is recorded when you receive an item in inventory. The purchase price variance is calculated as:
    PPV = (PO unit price -standard unit cost) quantity received
    Purchase price variance is not used for average costing.
    Invoice Price Variance Enter a general ledger account to accumulate Invoice Price Variance for this organization. This is usually an expense account.
    Invoice price variance is the difference between the purchase order price for an inventory item and the actual invoice price multiplied by the quantity invoiced. Oracle Inventory passes this account to Oracle Purchasing when the requisition or purchase order is created. When Oracle Payables matches and approves the invoice, Oracle Payables uses the invoice price variance account from the purchase order to record invoice price variance entries. In addition, if you have exchange rate variances, Oracle Payables also records invoice price variance for exchange rate gains and losses.
    Inventory AP Accrual Enter a general ledger account to accumulate Inventory Accounts Payable Accrual for this organization.
    This is the account used by Oracle Purchasing to accrue your payable liabilities when you receive your items. This account represents your uninvoiced receipts and is usually part of your Accounts Payable Liabilities in the balance sheet. Oracle Payables relieves this account when the invoice is matched and approved.
    Encumbrance Enter a default general ledger account to accumulate encumbrance for this organization. This is the default account when you define your subinventories.
