This process collects all eligible draft invoices in Oracle Projects and interfaces them to the Oracle Receivables interface tables. The process also maintains the project balances of unbilled receivable and unearned revenue and creates accounting transactions for these amounts.
Once interfaced to these interface tables, the draft invoices await further processing by the AutoInvoice process in Oracle Receivables. If your system administrator set Org ID as the conflicts domain for the AutoInvoice Import concurrent program, then the incompatibility between the Interface Intercompany Invoices to Receivables and the AutoInvoice Import programs is limited to the operating unit. This means that if they are submitted for the same operating unit, they cannot run simultaneously. If you have not set Org ID as the conflicts domain for AutoInvoice Import, then these programs cannot run simultaneously within and across operating units, slowing down the generation of customer invoices and the receipt of payments.
If any of the draft invoices are rejected during the interface to Oracle Receivables, then the interface status for these invoices is set to Rejected in Interface. Those draft invoices that successfully interface have the transfer status Interfaced.
You can run this process either before or after you run PRC: Generate Revenue Accounting Events (neither process is a prerequisite for the other).
To submit the PRC: Interface Invoices to Receivables process by itself, see: Submitting Requests.
To submit the process as part of a streamline process, submit PRC: Submit Interface Streamline Processes (see: Submitting Streamline Processes) and select the XI: Interface Draft Invoice to AR streamline option.
Project Number. Enter the number of the project whose invoices you want to interface to Oracle Receivables. If you leave this parameter blank, the process selects all eligible draft invoices for all projects.
The following reports show you the results of this process:
The Accounts Receivable Interface Report (Invoice Transactions) prints each draft invoice that successfully interfaced to Oracle Receivables. For each draft invoice, this report displays the draft invoice's project number and draft invoice number, the customer name and customer agreement funding the invoice, the PA and GL accounting dates in which the draft invoice posts, the number of the draft invoice, if any, that this one credits, and the total bill amount of the draft invoice.
The Accounts Receivable Interface Exception Report (Invoice Transactions). Lists any draft invoices that were rejected during the process. For each draft invoice that fails to interface to Oracle Receivables, this report lists the rejection reason.
