Other Accounts:
**Purchase Price Variance (PPV):

 Difference between standard price and purchase order price.
**Invoice Price Variance (IPV):
 Difference between Purchase Order Price and Invoice Price.
Encumbrance:
An Expense account used to recognize the reservation of funds when a purchase order is
approved.
 Budget for the organization.
Sales (Revenue):
The profit & loss account tracks the default revenue.
COGS (Cost of goods sold):
 Cost of goods sold to the customer.
DCOGS (Deferred Cogs):
 New Feature available in R12
The problem that accountants face with this design is that on the last day of month COGS gets
recognized when we ship confirm the material but invoice gets generated in next month and so
revenue gets recognized in different month. This does not look good from the matching principle
which requires the revenue and cost should get recognized in the same period.
CONTACT NUM: 8125323232, 8125824824
56 | P a g e
The deferred COGS account is the new feature introduced in Release 12. The key fundamental
behind the feature is that the COGS is now directly matched to the Revenue.
In simple terms, this means, COGS for an order line will be recognized only if the revenue is
recognized for that line making sure that the revenue and COGS are posted in the same month.
Matching percentage is also taken care which ensures that revenue and cost are always in sync.
Business Process:
In R11i When a Sales order is shipped and interface trip stop is completed. This make a call to
COGS workflow to generate the COGS account. This then generate following accounting.
Cr Inventory Valuation account $250
Dr COGS Account $250
In R12 when a sales order is shipped and interface trip stop is completed the following accounting
entries gets generated.
Cr Inventory Valuation account $250
Dr Deferred COGS Account $250
After the AR invoice is generated and the revenue is recognised (Considering you don’t have
revenue recognition policies or specific accounting rules), following program will create COGS
recognition transaction. This will reflect a change in the revenue recognition percentage for a sales
order line.
1. Collect Revenue Recognition Information program: This program will collect the change in
revenue recognition percentage based on AR events within the user specified date range. It collects
invoice information of the sale order line from RA_CUST_TRX_LINES_ALL and
RA_CUST_TRX_LINE_GL_DIST_ALL after the revenue is recognized and check the percentage
revenue recognized. It then insert information in CST_REVENUE_RECOGNITION_LINE.
[N]: Cost > COGS Recognition > Collect Revenue Recognition Information
2. Generate COGS Recognition Events: This program will create the COGS recognition transaction
for each sales order line where there is a mismatch between the latest revenue recognition percentage
and the current COGS recognition percentage. This is the program which also makes the transactions
costed by creating these accounting entries. So cost manager is not used to make these transactions as
costed in R12.The COGS account in this entry is taken from the distribution_account in
mtl_material_transactions table (which was generated earlier by COGS workflow).
Cr Deferred account $250 (Actual Revenue
%)
Dr COGS Account $250 (Actual
Revenue[N]:
%)Cost > COGS Recognition > Generate COGS Recognition Events
This particular COGS recognition transaction actually correspond to a revenue recognition
percentage change.
As we have seen above this new feature does help in resolving some of the key accounting issues but
we need to be aware of the following also
1. With this feature the COGS recognition now requires few extra concurrent requests to be
submitted.
2. AR revenue need to be recognized to have COGS recognized
3. This functionality is not optional as it is mandatory to be used in R12
CONTACT NUM: 8125323232, 8125824824
57 | P a g e
4. To make the complete set of transactions visible in the Material Transaction screen, ‘Include
Logical Transaction’ checkbox need to be checked.
This concludes our discussion about Deferred COGS. Now I am planning to pick some topic from
procurement as we have not touched that area till date.

9. Templates and Types
When you apply a template to an item it automatically defaults attributes values from the
applied template.
Some of the predefined templates exist. Even we can modify the existing template or you can create
your own template called custom templates.
Throughout the application item behavior is based on the applied template.
Templates can be applied to an item more than once but it will override.

12.Unit of Measure(UOM)
The way how you measure the items and counts the item stock
 Primary UOM
 Secondary UOM
Steps:
1. Define item. (Note: Take Primary UOM -> Dozen and Secondary UOM -> Each and try
this concept.
2. Search for your class. (Quantity)
3. Go to conversion define conversion for your created item. (Intra-class) (Quantity)
4. Verify functionality. (miscellaneous transaction)
Intra Class:
Defining a conversion between two unit of measures falling under the same class
Inter Class:
Defining a conversion between two unit of measures falling under different classes called as Inter class
conversion
Primary:
Tracking:
Pricing:
Fixed:
You can enter an item quantity in one unit of measure, and the system converts the quantity
to the secondary unit of measure and displays both quantities.
Default:
You can enter an item quantity in one unit of measure, and the system converts the quantity
to the second unit of measure and displays both quantities. You can change the quantity in the
secondary unit of measure, without changing the quantity in the primary unit of measure
No Default:
The system does not automatically display in the secondary unit of measure when you specify
the quantity for the primary unit of measure. You manually enter the quantity of the secondary unit
of measure before you process a transaction. The secondary quantity can fluctuate from the default
conversion by the factors that you specify in the Deviation + and Deviation - attributes.
Once UOM is assigned to an item it can’t be change/override.

13.Inventory Controls
Four Types of controls are there.
1. Serial Control.
2. Lot Control.
3. Stock Locators
4. Revision Control.
1. Serial Control:
 Serial Numbers maintain unique number for the item qty.
 Serial control is used for costly items & to represent individually.
 In the application we can track item using their individual serial number.
 Serial number generation can be done at “Org Level” or “Item Level”.
Serial Number Generation:
At Receipt: Generating serial number while receiving the stock from the supplier
At sales order issue: Generating serial number while shipping the stock to the customer.
Predefined: When you are keeping the stock in the sub inventory will generate serial numbers.
Steps:
1. Define an item.
2. Select generation of serial numbers at -> Item level & Provide Starting Prefix and Starting
Number at item level.
3. Generate Serial Numbers.
4. Perform miscellaneous transaction.

14.Inventory Planning Methods/Replenishment methods
 Min-Max Planning
 Reorder point planning
 Kanban Planning
 Replenishment method
Min - Max Planning
If an item is min-max planned item, if the system identifies it is under the below specified min
qty based on the type of the item it automatically generates suggestions for the supply.
Quantity on Hand + On Order = Total Available
If Total Available < Minimum Quantity, suggest a new order
Order Quantity = Maximum Quantity - Total Available
 If an item is buy/purchased item it automatically generated Purchase Requisition/Internal

Requisition.
 If an item is make item it automatically generates job order/Work Order
 If it is a “make” item we plan at organization level.
 If it is a “buy/purchased” item we can plan at organization level or sub inventory level (But
both can’t be done at once).
Min-Max planning for make item at Organization Level (Vision)

Steps:
1. Define a make item.
2. Select “Inventory Planning <- min-max” in General Planning & Enter min qty, max qty and
min order qty, max order qty.
3. Run ‘min-max planning’ report with required input parameters
4. Verify the min-max planning report completes normal and child report (WIP Mass Load)
output for the “Job Order”.

18.Counting Methods/Accuracy Methods

a. Cycle Counting.
b. Physical Counting
In any Organization due to missing transactions (or) inaccurate entries of the transactions there will
be possibility of differences in the system on hand quantities and actual quantities lying in a Sub
inventory.
In Order to correct the difference between the system quantity and actual quantity we will do
periodical counting of all the stock.
a. Cycle Counting:
ABC Analysis: Classifying the system items based on their value or quantity. Based on the
classification we will start the cycle counting procedure.
1. Cycle counting can be done periodically

2. Cycle counting can be scheduled periodically based on the number of classes.
3. Here classification is possible.
Steps:
1. Define a new sub inventory.
2. Define items and load on hand for those items.
3. Compile a report.
ABC Analysis
4. Define ABC classes. (Based on the report output).
5. Define ABC Assignment Group, Assign Classes and items to the classes
6. Define Cycle Counting.
7. Run “Cycle count scheduler” from the tools menu
8. Run “Generate count requests” from the tools menu.
9. Run “Cycle count listing report” from the tools menu.
10. Manual Entries.
11. Approve Adjustments. (Adjustments will be processed automatically here)

b. Physical Counting:
1. Physical Counting allows you to take stock check at specific point of time on the total or particular
part of your inventory.
2. You can define multiple physical inventories to count selected portion of your inventory.
3. Physical counting can be performed once or twice in a year for Audit purpose
4. It allows you to take snapshot of the on hand figures to continue processing our transactions
without affecting the result of the stock taken.

19.Key Attributes.
Sources for Inventory:
 If it is ‘supplier’ Purchase Requisition gets created.

 If it is ‘Inventory’ using “Internal Requisition” we will get the stock to the inventory.
 If it is ‘Sub inventory’ move order gets created.
**Safety Stock:
Oracle inventory uses safety stock to maintain item quantities that should not be below to
specified level.
Oracle uses safety stock to handle fluctuation in demand, due to delay in receiving of the
material from the sup1plier and any delays in manufacturing plants due to many reasons.
Reasons:
Due to machine break down.
Due to strikes.
Due to any natural disasters.
