Do Not Use Database Tools to Modify Oracle Applications Data

Oracle STRONGLY RECOMMENDS that you never use SQL*Plus, Oracle Data
Browser, database triggers, or any other tool to modify Oracle Applications data unless
otherwise instructed.
Oracle provides powerful tools you can use to create, store, change, retrieve, and
maintain information in an Oracle database. But if you use Oracle tools such as
SQL*Plus to modify Oracle Applications data, you risk destroying the integrity of your
data and you lose the ability to audit changes to your data.
Because Oracle Applications tables are interrelated, any change you make using an
xvi
Oracle Applications form can update many tables at once. But when you modify Oracle
Applications data using anything other than Oracle Applications, you may change a
row in one table without making corresponding changes in related tables. If your tables
get out of synchronization with each other, you risk retrieving erroneous information
and you risk unpredictable results throughout Oracle Applications.
When you use Oracle Applications to modify your data, Oracle Applications
automatically checks that your changes are valid. Oracle Applications also keeps track
of who changes information. If you enter information into database tables using
database tools, you may store invalid information. You also lose the ability to track who
has changed your information because SQL*Plus and other database tools do not keep a
record of changes.

transaction data, and invoices that your suppliers entered and submitted online via
Oracle iSupplier Portal.
The Suppliers Open Interface Import, Supplier Sites Open Interface Import, and
Supplier Sites Contacts Open Interface Import process supplier information and load
them into the appropriate tables.

Understanding the Invoice Open Interface Tables

Use the Quick Invoices window, Oracle e-Commerce Gateway, the Credit Card Invoice
Interface Summary, Property Manager, the Oracle Assets Export Lease Payments to
Payables process, Oracle XML Gateway, or SQL*Loader to load invoice information into
the interface tables: AP_INVOICES_INTERFACE and
AP_INVOICE_LINES_INTERFACE.
The Payables Open Interface program validates each record you select for import, and if
the record contains valid data, then the program creates a Payables invoice with
distributions and scheduled payments based on the invoice header and line information
in the record.
Records in the AP_INVOICE_LINES_INTERFACE table create one or more invoice
distributions. Note that one row may create more than one distribution. For example, if
you enter a Tax line in this table and prorate it across three Item lines, during Open
Interface Import the system will create three Tax invoice distributions based on the
single Tax line in this table.
The interface tables include columns, which Payables uses to categorize and store
specific invoice information. For example, invoice source information is stored in the
column called SOURCE in AP_INVOICES_INTERFACE. Columns may have the
following attributes:
NOT NULL Columns

You must enter values for all NOT NULL columns in the interface tables to successfully
save your invoice data in the interface tables. If you do not enter a value in a NOT
NULL column, then you cannot save the record in the interface table.
Required Columns
If you do not enter a valid value in a Required field, then the record will be rejected
during import.
NULL Columns
Leave these columns null or the import process will fail. For example, during import
Payables Open Interface Import updates the values of the STATUS and REQUEST_ID
columns to create invoices. Payables does not support importing any data from these
columns and you should leave these columns null for the records you load in the table.
A-2 Oracle Payables Reference Guide

Conditionally Required Columns
Payables requires you to enter values in a conditionally required column only if you
have entered a value in another column on which the conditionally required column is
dependent.
Optional Columns
You can use some columns in the interface tables to import additional invoice
information for the invoices created by Payables Open Interface Import. Payables Open
Interface Import imports the data that you load into these optional columns, provided
that the information passes the validation checks during Payables Open Interface
Import.
Internal ID Columns
These columns contain values that Payables uses internally and the user never sees. You
can obtain these values only by looking in Payables tables. These ID columns
correspond to other columns in the interface table. You do not need to enter a value for
any of these ID columns if you enter a value in the corresponding column. For example,
if you enter the TERMS_NAME you do not need to enter the TERMS_ID.
If you enter values for both columns and the values do not match, the record will be
rejected during import. For example, if you enter a TERMS_NAME and a TERMS_ID,
and the TERMS_ID corresponds to a different TERMS_NAME, then the record will be
rejected during import.
Note that when you enter invoice records in the Quick Invoices window that Payables
populates the ID columns. This enables faster processing of your invoice records.
Tip: If you are manually entering records: the import process will work
faster if you provide values for the internal ID columns instead of the
corresponding columns.
Understanding the Suppliers Open Interface Tables

The Supplier Open Interface Import, Supplier Sites Open Interface Import and Supplier
Site Contacts Open Interface Import process the information that the user loads into
AP_SUPPLIERS_INT, AP_SUPPLIER_SITES_INT, and AP_SUP_SITE_CONTACT_INT
tables respectively. When all validations are passed, records are inserted into
PO_VENDORS, PO_VENDOR_SITES_ALL, PO_VENDOR_CONTACTS respectively.
AP_SUPPLIERS_INT holds Supplier information that is loaded by the user for import.
The columns in the table map to the corresponding columns in the PO_VENDORS
table. Payables uses this information to create a new Supplier record when the Supplier
Open Interface Import program is submitted.
AP_SUPPLIER_SITES_INT holds Supplier Site information that is loaded by the user

for import. The columns in the table map to corresponding columns in the
PO_VENDOR_SITES_ALL table. Payables uses this information to create a new
Supplier Site record when the Supplier Sites Open Interface Import program is
submitted.
AP_SUP_SITE_CONTACT_INT holds Supplier Site Contact data that is loaded by the
user for import. The columns in the table map to corresponding columns in the
PO_VENDOR_CONTACTS table. Payables uses this information to create a new
Supplier Site Contact record when the Supplier Site Contacts Open Interface Import
program is submitted.
Each row in the table will be joined to the appropriate Supplier Site using the
VENDOR_SITE_CODE and ORG_ID and/or the VENDOR_SITE_CODE_ID.
Columns may have the attributes listed in the Understanding the Invoice Open
Interface Tables section.
Users may find it helpful to review the Entering Suppliers and Supplier Sites Window
Reference sections.
When loading existing supplier data into the interface tables, the following checks are
performed to ensure data is valid:
Defaults
The intent of the Supplier Open Interface Import is to emulate the entry of Suppliers,
Sites, and Contacts through the Supplier Entry form as closely as possible. As such,
there are many values that will be automatically defaulted if not provided by the user.
These defaults for Suppliers can come from AP_SYSTEM_PARAMETERS_ALL,
FINANCIALS_SYSTEM_PARAMS_ALL, PO_SYSTEM_PARAMETERS.ALL,
RCV_PARAMETERS, or hard-coded values. As these source tables are organized by
operating unit and the supplier data is not, the Suppliers Open Interface Import
program assigns a default organization to each run based on the responsibility of the
user initiating the concurrent request. This is necessary in order to determine which
default values to assign to supplier records.
The defaults for Supplier Sites generally come from the Supplier record. However, in
certain cases due to multiple organizations considerations, it is necessary to default
values for Supplier Sites from AP_SYSTEM_PARAMETERS_ALL or
FINANCIALS_SYSTEM_PARAMS_ALL.
Validations
As with defaults, the validations performed by the Suppliers Open Interface Import
program are intended to emulate the processing done by the Supplier Entry form. In
addition to checks done at the database level for correct data types, these validations
include checks performed against existing lookup values or values derived from other
tables. When these types of validations are done, a check is performed to make sure that
the value supplied is that of an active record, a record that has not been end-dated or
disabled. Details of the validations performed can be found in the descriptions for the

AP_SUPPLIERS_INT, AP_SUPPLIER_SITES_INT, and AP_SUP_SITE_CONTACT_INT
tables.
Rejections
If an invalid value is encountered when the concurrent process is evaluating each row,
the 'REJECT_CODE' column is populated with the relevant rejection message and the
'STATUS' is updated to 'REJECTED'. Processing on that row then stops and the
program moves on to the next row.
Payables Open Interface Table Descriptions

The Payables Open Interface table descriptions list the columns in the
AP_INVOICES_INTERFACE table, the AP_INVOICE_LINES_ INTERFACE table, the
AP_SUPPLIERS_INT table, the AP_SUPPLIER_SITES_INT table, and the
AP_SUP_SITE_CONTACT_INT table. Although columns are validated against columns
in other tables, the tables have no foreign key relationships.

INVOICE_ID
Unique identifier for this invoice within this batch. You assign the same value to the
invoice's lines in the AP_INVOICE_LINES_INTERFACE table to identify the data as
belonging to the same invoice.
Validation: None
Destination: None
INVOICE_NUM
Enter the invoice number that you want to assign to the invoice created in Payables
from this record. The number must be unique for the supplier. If you do not enter a
value, then during import, Payables uses the system date at the time of import as a
default. If you enter more than one invoice for a supplier, then be sure to enter unique
invoice numbers rather than using the default, or the invoices will have duplicate
invoice numbers and will be rejected during import.
Validation: Must be a unique number for the supplier. If you assign a

duplicate number for the supplier, Payables Open Interface
Import does not create an invoice from this record.
Destination: AP_INVOICES_ALL.INVOICE_NUM
INVOICE_TYPE_LOOKUP_CODE
Type of invoice: Credit or Standard. If you do not enter a value, the system assigns a
value during Payables Open Interface Import based on the value of
INVOICE_AMOUNT. If INVOICE_AMOUNT is less than zero, the invoice will be
Credit. If INVOICE_AMOUNT is zero or greater, the invoice will be Standard.
Validation: The value must be Credit or Standard. The invoice type
must correspond to the invoice amount if it is Credit or
Standard. For example, a Credit invoice must have an
invoice amount that is less than zero.
Destination: AP_INVOICES_ALL.INVOICE_TYPE_LOOKUP_ CODE
INVOICE_DATE
Date of the invoice. If you do not enter a value, the system uses the date you submit
Payables Open Interface Import as the invoice date.
Payables may use the Invoice Date as the Terms Date and the GL Date for an invoice,
depending on your system setup. If your GL Date Basis is Invoice Date, then the Invoice
Date must be in an open or future period.
Validation: The value must be in valid date format.
Destination: AP_INVOICES_ALL.INVOICE_DATE
PO_NUMBER
Number of the purchase order to which you are matching the invoice. If you match the
invoice to a purchase order by entering a value here, during Payables Open Interface
Import the system uses purchase order information to create distributions and populate
various columns in the AP_INVOICE_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL table. If you do not use
Quick Invoices, and if you do not specify a supplier in the AP_INVOICES_INTERFACE
table, then the PO_NUMBER value is used to derive
AP_INVOICES_ALL.VENDOR_ID, and if you do not specify the supplier site, the
PO_NUMBER value could be used to derive AP_INVOICES_ALL.VENDOR_SITE_ID.
To match an invoice to a purchase order, you do not need to enter a value here at the
invoice header level if you enter a value at the line level,
AP_INVOICE_LINES_INTERFACE.PO_NUMBER.
Validation: This value must match a valid, approved, open purchase

order for the same supplier. The purchase order must not
be final matched. You can obtain a list of valid values from
PO_HEADERS.SEGMENT1. If the source is e-Commerce
Gateway, Payables will import invoices only if they are
within the quantity and price tolerance you have specified
in the Invoice Tolerances window. For other invoice
sources, tolerances are checked at Invoice Validation time.
Destination: None
VENDOR_ID
The internal supplier identifier for the supplier. You must identify the supplier by
entering a value for one of the following columns in this table: VENDOR_ID,
VENDOR_NUM, VENDOR_SITE_ID, or PO_NUMBER. If you have not yet entered the
supplier in the Suppliers window, enter it before import.
Validation: The ID you enter must be for an existing, valid supplier.
You can obtain a list of valid values from
PO_VENDORS.VENDOR_ID.
Destination: AP_INVOICES_ALL.VENDOR_ID
VENDOR_NUM
Supplier number. You must identify the supplier by entering a value for one of the
following columns in this table: VENDOR_ID, VENDOR_NUM, VENDOR_SITE_ID,
VENDOR_SITE CODE, or PO_NUMBER. If you have not yet entered the supplier in the
Suppliers window, then enter it before import.
Validation: The number must be for an existing, valid supplier. You
can obtain a list of valid values from
PO_VENDORS.SEGMENT1.
Destination: None. This value is used to enter

AP_INVOICES_ALL.VENDOR_ID.
VENDOR_NAME
Name of the supplier. You must identify the supplier by entering a value for one of the
following columns in this table: VENDOR_ID, VENDOR_NUM, VENDOR_SITE_ID,
VENDOR_SITE CODE, or PO_NUMBER. If you have not yet entered the supplier in the
Suppliers window, then enter it before import.
Validation: This must be an existing, valid, active supplier. You can
obtain a list of valid values from
PO_VENDORS.VENDOR_NAME.

AP_INVOICES_ALL.VENDOR_ID.
VENDOR_SITE_ID
Internal supplier site identifier.
If you do not provide a valid value to identify the pay site in VENDOR_SITE_CODE or
VENDOR_SITE_ID then import searches for a valid supplier pay site in the following
order:
• primary pay site for supplier
• single existing pay site for supplier
• derived from PO Number matched at the header level
Import rejects the invoice if it cannot identify a valid supplier site.

Validation: The ID you enter must be for an existing, valid supplier site
for the supplier you specify (VENDOR_NUM or
VENDOR_ID). You can obtain a list of valid values from
PO_VENDOR_SITES.VENDOR_SITE_ID. The site must
also be a pay site.
Destination: AP_INVOICES_ALL.VENDOR_SITE_ID
VENDOR_SITE_CODE
Supplier site name.
If you do not provide a valid value to identify the pay site in VENDOR_SITE_CODE or
VENDOR_SITE_ID then import searches for a valid supplier pay site in the following
order:
• primary pay site for supplier
• single existing pay site for supplier
• derived from PO Number matched at the header level
Import rejects the invoice if it cannot identify a valid supplier site.

Validation: This must be a valid, active supplier site for the supplier
you specify (VENDOR_NUM or VENDOR_ID). You can
obtain a list of valid values from
PO_VENDORS.VENDOR_SITE_CODE. The site must also
be a pay site.

AP_INVOICES_ALL.VENDOR_SITE_ID.
INVOICE_AMOUNT
Amount of the invoice. Do not exceed the precision of the currency of for the invoice.
For example, if you are entering an amount in US dollars, then do not enter more than
two numbers after the decimal point.
Validation: This value must equal the sum of the AMOUNT values in
the AP_INVOICE_LINES_INTERFACE table for lines with
the same INVOICE_ID. The amount must correspond to
the invoice type. For example, Standard invoices must have
an amount of zero or greater.
Destination: AP_INVOICES_ALL.INVOICE_AMOUNT
INVOICE_CURRENCY_CODE
Currency code for the invoice. If you do not enter a value, then the supplier site value
defaults during import.
Note: When the invoice currency and payment currency are associated
fixed-rate currencies the PAYMENT_CROSS_RATE_TYPE,
PAYMENT_CROSS_RATE, and PAYMENT_CROSS_RATE_DATE are
not imported to AP_INVOICES_ALL
Validation: If you enter a code in a foreign currency, you must enter a

valid, active currency code from
FND_CURRENCIES.CURRENCY_CODE.
Destination: AP_INVOICES_ALL.INVOICE_CURRENCY_ CODE
EXCHANGE_RATE
Invoice exchange rate for a foreign currency invoice.
If the Payables option Require Exchange Rate Entry is enabled, then you must provide
either an exchange rate or sufficient information for Payables to derive the exchange
rate during import. If EXCHANGE_RATE_TYPE is User, then you must provide a
value for EXCHANGE_RATE (or, if the Payables option Calculate User Exchange Rate
is enabled, then you can provide a value for NO_XRATE_BASE_AMOUNT instead).
If you did not enter the invoice record in the Quick Invoices window, and if you enter
SPOT or CORPORATE as the EXCHANGE_RATE_TYPE, then the import program
supplies the exchange rate value, and you should leave this column null.
If the invoice currency has a fixed rate to your functional currency, then during import
Payables overwrites any value you enter with the fixed rate. You can see any

occurrences of Payables overwriting the exchange rate by reviewing the log file for the
import.
Validation: If you entered the invoice record in the Quick Invoices
window, then do not overwrite the value that the Quick
Invoices window provided or import will reject the invoice
record.
Destination: AP_INVOICES_ALL.EXCHANGE_RATE
EXCHANGE_RATE_TYPE
Type of exchange rate used to calculate the exchange rate between the invoice currency
and your functional currency. If the value in the INVOICE_CURRENCY_CODE column
is a foreign currency code, then enter a value in this column to indicate which exchange
rate type you are using. You can enter a predefined or user-defined exchange rate type.
If the invoice record has a foreign currency and you do not enter a value for
EXCHANGE_RATE_TYPE, then during import the system uses the Exchange Rate
Type selected in the Payables Options window. If the invoice currency and your
functional currency are associated fixed-rate currencies, such as euro and another EMU
currency, then enter EMU Fixed.
Validation: Payables uses five types of exchange rates: User, Spot,
Corporate, EMU Fixed, and user-defined. If you use Spot,
Corporate, or any user-defined rate type, the value you
enter here is validated against the GL Daily Rates table. If
you use EMU Fixed, Payables provides the exchange rate
during import. If you use User as the exchange rate type,
you must either enter a value for EXCHANGE_RATE or, if
the Payables Option Calculate User Exchange Rate is
enabled, you can enter a value for
NO_XRATE_BASE_AMOUNT instead.
Destination: AP_INVOICES_ALL.EXCHANGE_RATE_TYPE
EXCHANGE_DATE
Enter a value in this column if you enter a foreign currency code in the
CURRENCY_CODE column. The date you enter determines the exchange rate for a
foreign currency invoice with a Spot, Corporate, or user-defined rate type. If you leave
this column null, Payables uses the the invoice GL Date.
Validation: Must be in valid date format.
Destination: AP_INVOICES_ALL.EXCHANGE_DATE

TERMS_ID
Internal identifier for the payment terms. You maintain payment terms in the Payment
Terms window. If you want to specify payment terms you need to enter a value in only
one of the following columns: TERMS_NAME or TERMS_ID.
The import process searches the following sources in the following order for payment
terms and uses the first terms it finds:
1. invoice record header (TERMS_ID or TERMS_NAME)
2. purchase order terms for the purchase order in the invoice header (if the invoice
record is purchase order matched at the header level)
3. purchase order terms for the purchase orders to which one or more lines are
matched directly, or indirectly through a receipt (if not more than one set of terms is
represented)
4. supplier site
If none of these sources has a value for payment terms, then the invoice record is
rejected.
If you use calendar-based payment terms and no calendar period is defined for the
terms date, then the system uses the terms date as the due date when it creates the
scheduled payment.
Validation: Terms must be valid terms in the AP_TERMS table.
Destination: AP_INVOICES_ALL.TERMS_ID.
TERMS_NAME
Payment terms. You maintain payment terms in the Payment Terms window. If you
want to specify payment terms you need to enter a value in only one of the following
columns: TERMS_NAME or TERMS_ID.
The import process searches the following sources in the following order for payment
terms and uses the first terms it finds:
1. invoice record header (TERMS_ID or TERMS_NAME)
2. purchase order terms for the purchase order in the invoice header (if the invoice
record is purchase order matched at the header level)
3. purchase order terms for the purchase orders to which one or more lines are
matched directly, or indirectly through a receipt (if not more than one set of terms is
represented)
4. supplier site

If none of these sources has a value for payment terms, then the invoice record is
rejected.
If you use calendar-based payment terms and no calendar period is defined for the
terms date, then the system uses the terms date as the due date when it creates the
scheduled payment.
Validation: Terms must be valid, active terms in the AP_TERMS table.
Destination: None. This value may be used to enter a value for

AP_INVOICES_ALL.TERMS_ID.
DESCRIPTION
Enter the description that you want to assign to the invoice created from this record. If
you are matching to a purchase order and you do not enter a value here, then during
Payables Open Interface Import the system will assign to
AP_INVOICES_ALL.DESCRIPTION the Item Description from the purchase order line.
Validation: None
Destination: AP_INVOICES_ALL.DESCRIPTION
AWT_GROUP_ID
Internal identifier for Automatic Withholding Tax Group. The withholding tax group
you identify in this table (AWT_GROUP_ID or AWT_GROUP_NAME) is used to assign
a withholding tax group to a line only if you do not identify one for the invoice in one
of the following columns: AP_INVOICE_LINES_INTERFACE.AWT_GROUP_ID or
AP_INVOICE_LINES_INTERFACE.AWT_GROUP_NAME.
Validation: If this value is used during import, it must be a valid value
in AP_AWT_GROUPS.
Destination: AP_INVOICES_ALL.AWT_GROUP_ID, only if you do not

enter another value for
AP_INVOICE_LINES_INTERFACE.AWT_GROUP_ID or
AP_INVOICE_LINES_INTERFACE.AWT_GROUP_NAME
.
AWT_GROUP_NAME
Automatic Withholding Tax Group. If you identify a withholding tax group in this table
(AWT_GROUP_ID or AWT_GROUP_NAME), it is used only if you do not identify a
withholding tax group for the invoice lines in the
AP_INVOICE_LINES_INTERFACE.AWT_GROUP_ID or
AP_INVOICE_LINES_INTERFACE.AWT_GROUP_NAME column. You maintain
withholding tax groups in the Withholding Tax Groups window.

Validation: Value must be valid and active in AP_AWT_GROUPS
Destination: None
LAST_UPDATE_DATE
Enter the last update date for this record (usually the same date as CREATION_DATE).
Payables uses this date for reference and audit purposes only.
Destination: AP_INVOICES_ALL.LAST_UPDATED_DATE,
AP_PAYMENT_SCHEDULES.LAST_UPDATED_ DATE
LAST_UPDATED_BY
Enter the userid of the person who last updated this record (usually the same value as
CREATED_BY). If you do not enter a value here, then during Payables Open Interface
Import the system will use the userid of the person who submits Payables Open
Interface Import.
Validation: None
Destination: AP_INVOICES_ALL.LAST_UPDATED_BY, AP_

PAYMENT_SCHEDULES.LAST_UPDATED_BY
LAST_UPDATE_LOGIN
The last date for this record. Usually the same date as the CREATION_DATE. If you
enter a value in this column, the system uses it to populate
AP_INVOICES_ALL.AP_LAST_UPDATE_LOGIN. If you do not enter a value, then
during Payables Open Interface Import the system will use the system date.
Validation: None
Destination: AP_INVOICES_ALL.AP_LAST_UPDATE_LOGIN,AP_PA
YMENT_SCHEDULES.AP_LAST_UPDATE_LOGIN
CREATION_DATE
Enter the date on which you load this record into the interface table. Payables uses this
date for reference and audit purposes. When Payables Open Interface Import creates an
invoice from this record, it does not use this date as the creation date for the invoice; it
uses the system date at the time you submit Payables Open Interface Import.
Destination: AP_INVOICES_ALL.CREATION_DATE,

AP_PAYMENT_SCHEDULES.CREATION_DATE
CREATED_BY
Enter the userid of the person that loads this record into the table. Payables Open
Interface Import transfers this ID to the AP_INVOICES_ALL and
AP_PAYMENT_SCHEDULES tables during import so that the creator of the record
becomes the invoice and scheduled payment creator. If you do not enter a value, then
during Payables Open Interface Import the system will use the userid of the person who
submits Payables Open Interface Import.
Validation: None
Destination: AP_INVOICES_ALL.CREATED_BY,
AP_PAYMENT_SCHEDULES.CREATED_BY
ATTRIBUTE_CATEGORY
Enter the descriptive flexfield category for the descriptive flexfield information you
want to import.
Validation: None
Destination: AP_INVOICES_ALL.ATTRIBUTE_CATEGORY
ATTRIBUTE [1-15]
Enter descriptive flexfield information that you want to import for an invoice. The
structure of the information you enter in these columns (datatypes, value sets) must
match the structure of the descriptive flexfield segments you have defined for your
invoices or you will experience validation problems when you try to access the
information in the invoice windows.
Validation: None
Destination: AP_INVOICES_ALL.ATTRIBUTE[1-15]
GLOBAL_ATTRIBUTE_CATEGORY
Enter the descriptive flexfield category for the descriptive flexfield information you
want to import.
Validation: None
Destination: AP_INVOICES_ALL.GLOBAL_ATTRIBUTE_ CATEGORY

GLOBAL_ATTRIBUTE [1-20]
Validation: If you are using a localization, you must enter appropriate
values in this flexfield or the invoice will be rejected during
import. For more information, see you localization user's
guide.
Destination: AP_INVOICES_ALL.GLOBAL_ATTRIBUTE[1-20]
STATUS
Do not enter a value in this field. It is for internal use only.
Validation: None
Destination: None
SOURCE
Source of the invoice data. Examples include Quick Invoices, EDI Gateway
(e-Commerce Gateway), Credit Card, Oracle Assets, Oracle Property Manager, ERS
(Evaluated Receipt Settlement), RTS (Return to Supplier), XML Gateway, and
user-defined.
You define additional values for Source in the Oracle Payables Lookups window. If you
have defined additional sources, you should use a source name for only one type of
source. For example, do not use the same source name for invoices that you enter in
Quick Invoices, and invoices you load with SQL*Loader.
The Source name also determines which records will be selected for import or purge.
You specify a Source name when you submit Payables Open Interface Import or Purge
Payables Open Interface.
Validation: If you do not use a predefined source you must enter the
name exactly as you have defined the lookup value in the
Oracle Payables Lookups window, or Payables Open
Interface Import will not create an invoice from the record.
The lookup value must have the Type SOURCE. See:

Destination: AP_INVOICES_ALL.SOURCE

GROUP_ID
Identifier for this batch. When you submit Payables Open Interface Import or Purge
Payables Open Interface, you must specify a Source and you can optionally specify a
Group. Processing records by Group allows you to concurrently import or purge
subsets of records for the same Source. You may want to assign a Group ID if you are
processing a large number of records, for example, importing legacy data. For invoice
records entered in the Quick Invoices window, this value is the Quick Invoices Batch
Name.
Validation: None
Destination: None
REQUEST_ID
The system populates this field with the concurrent request ID number for the Payables
Open Interface Import process. Leave this column null.
Validation: None
Destination: None
PAYMENT_CROSS_RATE_TYPE
If the invoice currency and payment currency are associated fixed-rate currencies, enter
EMU FIXED. Otherwise, leave this value null.
Validation: If the invoice currency and payment currencies are
different fixed-rate currencies, then during import,
Payables will overwrite whatever value you enter here
with EMU FIXED. If the invoice and payment currencies
are the same, this value must be null.
Destination: AP_INVOICES_ALL.PAYMENT_CROSS_RATE_ TYPE
PAYMENT_CROSS_RATE
If the invoice currency and payment currency are different currencies and are both
associated fixed-rate currencies (for example, euro and another EMU currency), you can
enter the fixed cross rate. If you leave this value null, Payables will provide the cross
rate during import.
Validation: If this value is different from the cross rate in the
GL_DAILY_RATES table, the fixed rate in the
GL_DAILY_RATES table will be used, and the system will
ignore the value you provided. If the invoice currency and
payment currency are the same, you can enter 1 as the

value.
Destination: AP_INVOICES_ALL.PAYMENT_CROSS_RATE
PAYMENT_CROSS_RATE_DATE
Date cross rate between invoice currency and payment currency is effective.
Validation: This value must be the exact cross rate in the
GL_DAILY_RATES table. If the values for
PAYMENT_CURRENCY_CODE and
INVOICE_CURRENCY_CODE are different, you must
enter a value for PAYMENT_CROSS_RATE_DATE, and
the two currencies must have a fixed rate effective as of the
cross rate date or the invoice will be rejected.
Destination: AP_INVOICES.PAYMENT_CROSS_RATE_DATE
PAYMENT_CURRENCY_CODE
Currency code for the payment. If you do not provide a value, then during import
PAYMENT_CURRENCY_CODE will be set to the same value as the
INVOICE_CURRENCY_CODE, the PAYMENT_CROSS_RATE will be set to 1, and the
PAYMENT_CROSS_RATE_TYPE and the PAYMENT_CROSS_RATE_DATE will both
be null.
Validation: If the invoice currency is not a fixed rate currency, this
value must be the same as INVOICE_CURRENCY_CODE.
If the invoice currency is a fixed-rate currency, such as
Euro or an EMU national currency, you can enter an
associated fixed-rate currency. This must be a valid, active
currency code from
Destination: AP_INVOICES_ALL.PAYMENT_CURRENCY_ CODE
WORKFLOW_FLAG
Payables Open Interface Workflow status of the invoice record. You submit this
workflow before import.
If you are using the Payables Open Interface Workflow and you want Workflow to
process this record, enter Y. If you enter D, Workflow will not process this record. See:
Payables Open Interface Import Workflow, Oracle Payables Implementation Guide.
• Y. To Be Processed. Invoice record will be processed by workflow. The import
program will not process invoice records with this status.

• S. Processing. Workflow is currently processing invoice record. The import
program will not process invoice records with this status.
• D. Processed. Workflow has processed the invoice record and it is ready for import.
• Null. Not Applicable. Invoice record is ready for import.

Validation: None
Destination: None
DOC_CATEGORY_CODE
If you are using automatic sequential numbering, then Payables Open Interface Import
uses this column to assign a document category to the invoice it creates.
If the Sequential Numbering profile value is "Always" and you do not enter a value in
this column, then during import Payables will use STANDARD as the category if the
invoice amount is zero or positive, and CREDIT if the invoice amount is negative. We
assume that a valid automatic sequence exists for such categories.
If you enable the Allow Document Category Override Payables option, you can enter
the document category you want Payables Open Interface Import to assign to the
invoice created from this record, instead of the Standard or Credit document category.
Validation: The value is a valid value in
AP_INVOICES_ALL.FND_DOC_SEQUENCE_
CATEGORIES. Do not enter a value in this column unless
the Sequential Numbering profile option is set to Partial or
Always, and the Allow Document Category Override
Payables option is enabled. If you enter the value of
Standard, then the invoice amount must be positive, and if
you enter the value of Credit, then the invoice amount
must be negative.
If you enter a document category, it must have an active,
automatic sequence assigned to it.
Destination: AP_INVOICES_ALL.DOC_CATEGORY_CODE
VOUCHER_NUM
If you use manual sequential numbering, then enter a unique value for the voucher
number you want to apply to the invoice created from this record. The number should
not exceed nine digits or you will have problems processing the invoice in Payables.
Validation: If you use manual sequential numbering, the system
validates the voucher number for uniqueness. If you use
automatic sequential numbering, Payables ignores any

value you load into this column and instead selects the next
available number for the numbering sequence assigned to
the document category for imported invoices.
Destination: AP_INVOICES_ALL.VOUCHER_NUM
PAYMENT_METHOD_LOOKUP_CODE
Method that will be used to pay the invoice.
Validation: The value must be a valid value for the
PAYMENT_METHOD lookup code. Payment Methods are
user defined in Oracle Payments
PAY_GROUP_LOOKUP_CODE
Pay Group to which the invoice will be assigned. If you do not enter a value, the value
will default from the supplier site. If the supplier site does not have a value for Pay
Group, then the value will default from the supplier. If neither the supplier nor the
supplier site has a value, the system uses the default Pay Group Payables option.
Validation: The value must be a valid and active value in
AP_LOOKUP_CODES.LOOKUP_CODE, with a
LOOKUP_TYPE value of PAYGROUP.
Destination: AP_INVOICES_ALL.PAY_GROUP_ LOOKUP_CODE
GOODS_RECEIVED_DATE
If you do not provide a value for TERMS_DATE, and if your Terms Date Basis Payables
option is set to Goods Received, then if you provide a value here, Payables will use this
value as the terms date.
Validation: The value must have a valid date format.
Destination: AP_INVOICES_ALL.GOODS_RECEIVED_DATE
INVOICE_RECEIVED_DATE
If you do not provide a value for TERMS_DATE, and if your Terms Date Basis Payables
option is set to Invoice Received, then if you provide a value here, Payables will use the
value as the terms date.
Validation: The value must have a valid date format.
Destination: AP_INVOICES_ALL.INVOICE_RECEIVED_DATE

ORG_ID
Organization identifier.
Quick Invoices records are assigned the ORG_ID associated with the user's
responsibility. . If this column has no value then the system uses the ORG_ID associated
with the responsibility used to submit import.
Validation: Must be a valid organization. Purchase order matched
invoices must use an organization consistent with the
purchase order.
Destination: AP_INVOICES_ALL.ORG_ID
GL_DATE
The GL Date for the invoice distributions. The date must be in an open or future period.
During import, Payables looks for a GL Date value to assign to the invoice distribution.
Payables assigns a value from the first source it finds, and it searches the following
sources in the following order: invoice record line, invoice record header, GL Date
parameter from import submission, GL Date Basis Payables option.
Note: The following occurs if the system searches at the GL Date Basis
level: If the GL Date Basis option is set to Goods Received/Invoice Date,
then Payables uses the Goods Received Date, if it is populated. If not,
then Payables uses the Invoice Date. If the GL Date Basis option is set to
Goods Received/System Date, then Payables uses the Goods Received
Date, if it is populated. If it is not, then Payables uses the system date at
time of import.
If the GL Date of an invoice is in a future period in Payables, you can account for the
invoice but you cannot pay it.
Important: If you are using encumbrance accounting, you must enter a

GL Date in a period that is within the latest open encumbrance year.
(See also: Budgetary Control In Payables).
Validation: Must be in valid date format. The date
must be in an open or future accounting
period.
Destination: AP_INVOICE_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL.
ACCOUNTING_DATE (if no value is
provided at line level)

ACCTS_PAY_CODE_COMBINATION_ID
Liability account. Payables defaults this value to invoice distributions during import.
Payables uses the liability account when you create accounting entries for your invoices
if you use accrual basis accounting. Payables credits the liability account in an amount
equal to the sum of your invoice distributions. If you do not provide a value, the system
uses the account from the supplier site.
Validation: Must be a valid account in your chart of accounts.
Destination: AP_INVOICE_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL.ACCTS_
PAY_CODE_COMBINATION_ID
USSGL_TRANSACTION_CODE
Enter the default transaction code you want to assign to an invoice.

tables and assigns the information to the invoices it creates.
Validation: None
Destination: AP_INVOICES_ALL.USSGL_TRANSACTION_ CODE
EXCLUSIVE_PAYMENT_FLAG
Pay Alone flag. A pay alone invoice is paid with its own payment document without
including other invoices for the supplier.
Validation: None
Destination: AP_INVOICES_ALL.EXCLUSIVE_PAYMENT_ FLAG
ORG_ID
Quick Invoices invoice records are assigned the ORG_ID associated with the user's
responsibility. If this column has no value then the system uses the ORG_ID associated
with the responsibility used to submit import.
Validation: Must be a valid organization. Purchase order matched
invoices must use an organization consistent with the
purchase order.
This value must be consistent with the ORG_ID value at
the invoice header.

Validation: None
Destination: AP_INVOICES_ALLAMOUNT_APPLICABLE_TO_DISCO
UNT.
PREPAY_NUM
Invoice number of a specific prepayment that you want to apply. Leave this column
null to apply all available prepayments in chronological order, starting with the oldest
prepayment first, up to the prepayment amount.
If the PREPAY_APPLY_AMOUNT exceeds the amount available on the specified
prepayment, then import applies the specified prepayment first, then applies remaining
available prepayments (oldest first) up to the specified PREPAY_APPLY_AMOUNT.
For more information see: Applying Prepayments to Invoices in the Open Interface,
Oracle Payables User Guide.
Validation: The prepayment has a settlement date on or before the
system date, is fully paid, is type Temporary, has the same
invoice and payment currency as the invoice, and has not
been fully applied.
Destination: None. Import uses this information to populate

AP_INVOICES_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL.
PREPAY_DISTRIBUTION_ID
PREPAY_DIST_NUMBER
Distribution number of a specific Item distribution on the specified prepayment that
you want to apply. Leave this field blank to apply all available prepayment Item
distributions, starting with the lowest distribution number first, up to the amount of the
invoice.
Validation: Must be a valid distribution number on the prepayment,
must be an Item distribution, and cannot be a reversal
distribution.
PREPAY_DISTRIBUTION_ID
PREPAY_APPLY_AMOUNT
If you are applying prepayments, the maximum currency amount of the prepayments
you want to apply to the invoice. Payables ensures that the prepayment amount does

not exceed the invoice amount.
Validation: Must not exceed unpaid invoice amount or amount of
available prepayments. Cannot be zero or a negative
number.
PREPAY_APPLY_AMOUNT
PREPAY_GL_DATE
Accounting date for the application of the prepayment. This will be the GL date on the
new Prepayment type distribution on the imported invoice. If you do not enter a value,
then import will use the system date as the prepayment accounting date.
Validation: The date must be in an open or future period.
Destination: AP_INVOICES_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL.
ACCOUNTING_DATE
INVOICE_INCLUDES_PREPAY_FLAG
A value of Y indicates that the invoice amount has been reduced by a prepayment.
When the invoice is imported the amount paid on the invoice will not be reduced by the
prepayment applied to it. For more information see: Entering Invoices that Reference
Prepayments, Oracle Payables User Guide.
Validation: None
Destination: AP_INVOICES_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL.
INVOICE_INCLUDES_PREPAY_FLAG
NO_XRATE_BASE_AMOUNT
Invoice functional currency amount. Used only if the Payables option Calculate User
Exchange Rate is enabled and if the exchange rate type is User. Import uses this value
and the INVOICE_AMOUNT to calculate and enter the invoice exchange rate.
Validation: If you provide a value for NO_XRATE_BASE_AMOUNT
the Payables option Calculate User Exchange Rate must be
enabled; and the exchange rate type must be User. If the
Payables option Calculate User Exchange Rate is enabled,
and if the exchange rate type is User, then you are required
to enter a value for either NO_XRATE_BASE_AMOUNT or
EXCHANGE_RATE. If you enter values for both
NO_XRATE_BASE_AMOUNT and EXCHANGE_RATE,
then you must provide the correct exchange rate or import
will reject the invoice.

Destination: AP_INVOICES_ALL.BASE_AMOUNT
The following table summarizes the AP_INVOICE_LINES_ INTERFACE table.
VENDOR_EMAIL_ADDRESS
Supplier e-mail address.
Oracle XML Gateway populates this column when it loads XML invoice records to
Payables. Certain invoice import failures will cause a workflow notification of the
problem to be sent to the supplier at this specified e-mail address. For a list of these
import rejections, see: Processing Oracle XML Gateway Invoice Records, Oracle Payables
Implementation Guide.
Validation: None
Destination: None

GL Date parameter from import submission, GL Date Basis Payables option.
Note: The following occurs if the system searches at the GL Date Basis
level: If the GL Date Basis option is set to Goods Received/Invoice Date,
then Payables uses the Goods Received Date, if it is populated. If not,
then Payables uses the Invoice Date. If the GL Date Basis option is set to
Goods Received/System Date, then Payables uses the Goods Received
Date, if it is populated. If it is not, then Payables uses the system date at

time of import.
If the GL Date of an invoice is in a future period in Payables, you can account for the
invoice but you cannot pay it.
Note: Note the system searches at the GL Date Basis level and the GL
Date Basis option is set to Invoice Received Date, then Payables uses
the Invoice Date, and if the GL Date Basis option is set to Goods
Received Date, then Payables uses the system date at time of import.
Important: If you are using encumbrance accounting, you must enter a

GL Date in a period that is within the latest open encumbrance year.
(See also: Budgetary Control In Payables).
Validation: Must be in valid date format. The date
must be in an open accounting period.
ACCOUNTING_DATE
DESCRIPTION
Enter a description that you want to assign to the invoice distribution created from this
record. If you do not enter a value, and you match to a purchase order, then during
import the system uses the item description on the purchase order line to populate
AP_INVOICE_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL.DESCRIPTION.
Validation: None
Destination: AP_INVOICE_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL. DESCRIPTION
PRORATE_ACROSS_FLAG
If you set this column to Y and this is a non-Item type line (Tax, Miscellaneous, or
Freight), then Payables will prorate the charge to all Item type lines with the same
LINE_GROUP_NUMBER as this line. If no line group number is specified, Payables
will prorate the charge to all Item lines. If this column is set to N, then Payables will not
prorate the cost and will create only one distribution.
Payables prorates tax for Tax type lines, freight for Freight type lines, and miscellaneous
for Miscellaneous type lines. Payables creates a distribution line for each line you
prorate the charge to. The system assigns the expense account of the Item line to the
new invoice distribution.
Validation: Line type is not Item.

Destination: None
TAX_CODE
Enter the tax code or tax group you want to assign to the invoice distribution created
from this record.
Validation: AP_TAX_CODES_ALL.NAME
Destination: AP_INVOICE_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL.VAT_CODE
FINAL_MATCH_FLAG
If you are certain that this is a final match against the purchase order, enter Y. Once you
validate a final matched invoice distribution, you cannot update the Final Match check
box in the Distributions window. Since you cannot final close purchase orders when
you are matching to receipts, if the invoice is matched to a receipt then import ignores
any value in this column.
Validation: None
Destination: AP_INVOICE_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL.FINAL_
MATCH_FLAG
PO_HEADER_ID
If you enter the record in the Quick Invoices window, then you must provide a value
for this column by entering a value in the PO Number field, and you must specify the
supplier.
Internal identifier for the purchase order number. To match to a purchase order you can
enter either the PO_HEADER_ID or the PO_NUMBER.
Validation: This must be a valid value in
PO_HEADERS.PO_HEADER_ID. It must be for the same
supplier and cannot be final matched.
Destination: None
PO_NUMBER
Enter a purchase order number if you are matching to a purchase order. If you are
matching to a purchase order, you must enter the PO_NUMBER or the
PO_HEADER_ID.
If you match the invoice to a purchase order by entering a value here, then during
Payables Open Interface Import the system uses purchase order information to create
distributions and populate various columns in the
AP_INVOICE_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL table. If you do not specify a supplier in the

AP_INVOICE_LINES_INTERFACE table, the PO_NUMBER value is used to derive
AP_INVOICE_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL.VENDOR_ID, and if you do not specify the
supplier site, the PO_NUMBER value can be used to derive
AP_INVOICE_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL.VENDOR_SITE_ID. If you enter supplier
information in another column and enter a value for PO_NUMBER, then the system
will use the supplier on the purchase order and ignore any other supplier information
you have entered.
Validation: This must be a valid purchase order number for the same
supplier, and the purchase order cannot be final matched
or inactive. If you specified a purchase order in
AP_INVOICES_INTERFACE, it must match this purchase
order number. The match option for the purchase order
shipment must be set to purchase order.

AP_INVOICES_ALL.PO_HEADER_ID.
PO_LINE_ID
Internal identifier for the purchase order line number. If you are matching to a purchase
order line you can enter either the PO_LINE_ID or the PO_LINE_NUMBER.
Validation: This must be a valid value for PO_LINES.PO_LINE_ID.
Destination: None
PO_LINE_NUMBER
If you want to match to a purchase order line, enter a value for PO_LINE_NUMBER or
PO_LINE_ID.
Alternatively, you can identify a purchase order line number by entering only an
ITEM_ID or an ITEM_DESCRIPTION. If you do this, the value you enter must exactly
match the ITEM_ID or ITEM_DESCRIPTION of exactly one purchase order line for the
PO_NUMBER. For example, you can match to a line by entering the
ITEM_DESCRIPTION "books" for an invoice that has exactly one line with an
ITEM_DESCRIPTION of "books".
Validation: This must be a valid value for PO_LINES.PO_LINE_NUM.
Destination: None
PO_LINE_LOCATION_ID
Internal identifier for purchase order shipment.

PO_LINE_LOCATIONS.LINE_LOCATION_ID for the
purchase order. PO shipment cannot be finally closed.
Destination: None
PO_SHIPMENT_NUM
Number of the purchase order shipment. If you are matching to a purchase order
shipment, enter a value for either PO_SHIPMENT_NUM or PO_LINE_LOCATION_ID.
Alternatively, you can enter a value for SHIP_TO_LOCATION_CODE if exactly one
shipment on the purchase order has the SHIP_TO_LOCATION_CODE you specify. For
example, you enter a SHIP_TO_LOCATION_CODE of "Taipei" for a purchase order
with exactly one shipment with the location value of "Taipei".
Validation: This must be a valid value for
PO_LINE_LOCATIONS.SHIPMENT_NUM. PO shipment
cannot be finally closed.
Destination: None
PO_DISTRIBUTION_ID
Internal identifier for purchase order distribution number. If you are matching to a
purchase order distribution you can enter a value for PO_DISTRIBUTION_ID or
PO_DISTRIBUTION_NUM.
INVOICE_DISTRIBUTIONS.PO_DISTRIBUTION_ ID
Destination: None
PO_DISTRIBUTION_NUM
Purchase order distribution number. If you are matching to a distribution, you must
enter a value for PO_DISTRIBUTION_NUM or PO_DISTRIBUTION_ID.
Validation: Value must match a distribution number on the purchase
order and must be a valid value for
PO_DISTRIBUTIONS.PO_DISTRIBUTION_NUM.
Destination: None
INVENTORY_ITEM_ID
Inventory item identifier on the purchase order. Used during purchase order matching.
If you have limited purchase order information, you can enter an inventory item
number, and the system will attempt to match the invoice to a purchase order line. For

example, a supplier has one purchase order for PCs, that includes a single line for
monitors. If you want to match to the line with monitors and you don't know the
purchase order number, enter the proper INVENTORY_ITEM_ID for the monitors. The
system will match to the correct purchase order line for the monitors during import.
Validation: This value must match the purchase order
MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS.INVENTORY_ITEM_ID for exactly
one line.
Destination: None
ITEM_DESCRIPTION
Exact description of the item on the purchase order. Used during purchase order line
matching.
If you have limited purchase order information, you can enter a description in the
column, and the system will attempt to match the invoice to a purchase order line. For
example, if a purchase order has one line for books and one line for software, but you
don't know the line number, you can enter the exact description for the books, and the
system will match to the correct purchase order line.
Validation: The description must match
PO_LINES.ITEM_DESCRIPTION.
Destination: None
QUANTITY_INVOICED
Number of units invoiced. Used for purchase order matching. For example if there are 5
chairs on the invoice, enter 5. If you enter a value for UNIT_PRICE and do not enter a
value for QUANTITY_INVOICED, the system will derive a value for
QUANTITY_INVOICED during Payables Open Interface Import
(QUANTITY_INVOICED = AMOUNT / UNIT PRICE).
If the Invoice Match option on the purchase order shipment is Receipt, Import reviews
all receipts that have unbilled quantities for the purchase order shipment. Import then
matches the billed quantity on the invoice to these receipts starting with the oldest
receipt that has an unbilled quantity. Import then fills each unbilled receipt quantity up
to the amount of the invoice billed quantity. If the invoice quantity exceeds all available
unbilled receipt quantities for the purchase order shipment, import overbills the newest
unbilled quantity by the remaining amount.
Validation: This value must be a positive number if AMOUNT for this
line is positive, and a negative number if AMOUNT is
negative.
Destination: AP_INVOICE_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL.QUANTITY_INVOI
CED

SHIP_TO_LOCATION_CODE
If you want to match to a purchase order shipment and have not entered a value for
either PO_SHIPMENT_NUM or PO_LINE_LOCATION_ID, you can enter a value for
SHIP_TO_LOCATION_CODE if exactly one shipment on the purchase order has the
SHIP_TO_LOCATION_CODE you specify. For example, you enter a
SHIP_TO_LOCATION_CODE of "Taipei" for a purchase order with exactly one
shipment with the value "Taipei".
Validation: This must be an existing, active value for
PO_LINE_LOCATIONS.SHIP_TO_LOCATION_ID
Destination: None
UNIT_PRICE
Unit price of the distribution line item(s). Used for purchase order matching. If you
enter a value for UNIT_PRICE and do not enter a value for QUANTITY_INVOICED,
the system will derive a value for QUANTITY_INVOICED during Payables Open
Interface Import (QUANTITY_INVOICED = AMOUNT / UNIT PRICE).
Validation: None
Destination: AP_INVOICE_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL.UNIT_ PRICE
DISTRIBUTION_SET_ID
Internal identifier for the Distribution Set. If you enter a value for
DISTRIBUTION_SET_NAME or DISTRIBUTION_SET_ID, then during import Payables

1099 Miscellaneous Tax Type.
See:Entering Invoices for Suppliers Subject to Income Tax Reporting Requirements,
Oracle Payables User Guide
If you leave this value null and match to a purchase order, then this value always
defaults from the purchase order (even if that value is null and the supplier now has a
value).
For unmatched invoices, if you do not use a Distribution Set to create invoice
distributions, Payables uses the supplier's income tax type as the default value. If you
use a Distribution Set to create invoice distributions, Payables uses the default income
tax type from the Distribution Set as the default value. You can enter this field
regardless of whether the supplier is defined as a 1099 supplier. Payables uses this
information when you submit the 1099 Payments Report and the 1099 Form Reports.

Sequential Numbering During Import

There are two methods you can use for sequential numbering when you use the
Payables Open Interface:
• Manual Entry without Audit. During Payables Open Interface Import, any value
entered in the column AP_INVOICES_INTERFACE.VOUCHER_NUM will be
inserted in AP_INVOICES.VOUCHER_NUM with validation.

• Automatic Voucher Numbering with Audit: A value will be obtained
automatically for the record being imported and will be populated in
AP_INVOICES.DOC_SEQUENCE_VALUE. Also, audit information will be inserted
into the audit table.
If you enter a value for DOC_CATEGORY_CODE, then Payables will ignore any value
you enter for VOUCHER_NUM, so automatic voucher numbering will always
supersede manual entry.
Account Overlay in Payables Open Interface Import

You can use the Account Overlay feature to overwrite one or more account segments of
a line expense or asset account. For example, if you are matching to a purchase order
and you know that the cost center on the purchase order is incorrect, then the Account
Overlay feature can correct this for you automatically during import if you enter a
value for COST_CENTER_SEGMENT.
Note: If a record is matching to a particular shipment and accrued on

receipt and an overlay account exists in any of the overlay segments,
then the invoice will be rejected.
Rejection Text: Line is matched to a shipment, which uses
accrual on receipt, and overlay segment is
specified.
Rejection Reason: Accrual on Receipt

Line is matched to a shipment and uses
accrual on receipt.
There are five ways that an invoice distribution can get accounting information when it
is imported from the Payables Open Interface tables:
• Expense Account in Line (DIST_CODE_COMBINATION_ID in
AP_INVOICE_LINES_INTERFACE)
• Distribution Set
• Purchase order match
• Projects information
• Proration (accounts on non-Item type lines only)
Note: Account Overlay is not implemented with proration of Tax,

Freight, or Miscellaneous lines. The account for these lines comes

from the respective Item line. All other lines not created by
proration can be overlayed. In addition, if an Item line includes tax,
then the tax account will be overlayed according to the overlay
rules of the item.
During Payables Open Interface import, the system uses values in the following
AP_INVOICE_LINES_INTERFACE table columns to overlay the account:
• DIST_CODE_CONCATENATED (Overlay account)
• BALANCING_SEGMENT
• COST_CENTER_SEGMENT
• ACCOUNT_SEGMENT
BALANCING_SEGMENT, COST_CENTER_SEGMENT, and ACCOUNT_SEGMENT

will overlay any values in DIST_CODE_CONCATENATED.
In summary, the hierarchy for overlay is as follows. Import builds the account by
overlaying the account with any values at each successive level:
• Expense/Asset account either entered directly or built by PO matching, proration,
Projects Account Generator in Quick Invoices, or Distribution Set.
(DIST_CODE_COMBINATION_ID)
• Overlay account (DIST_CODE_CONCATENATED. Can include null account

segments)
• Balancing segment, account segment, cost center segment

(BALANCING_SEGMENT, ACCOUNT_SEGMENT, COST_CENTER_SEGMENT)
For example, if you have the following values for a line, then during import, Payables
will create the Invoice Account below for the line:
This table shows how the Account Overlay feature creates an Invoice Account during
the Payables Open Interface Import process. In this example, an invoice has values for
an account, overlay GL account, account segment, cost center segment, and balancing
segment. The resulting invoice account is based on the consecutive overlaying of these
values for the different account segments.

The final account for the invoice must be a valid account in your chart of accounts or the
invoice will be rejected during import.
How the Quick Invoices Window Populates the Payables Open Interface Tables
If you use the Quick Invoices window to enter invoice records, you may find the
following tables helpful in understanding the Rejections Report. The following tables
shows the column that is populated by each Quick Invoices field. Note that internal ID
columns are populated, when available, to enhance performance.

Purchase Order Matching Database Tables
Purchase Order Matching Database Tables

Payables provides sophisticated purchase order matching features to ensure that you
only pay for goods and services you ordered, received and accepted. Payables is tightly
integrated with Oracle Purchasing to facilitate paperless matching, but you can take
advantage of matching to purchase orders even if you are using another purchasing
system with Payables. Note that you can match to receipts only if you use Oracle
Purchasing.
This document explains the data necessary to integrate Payables with a non-Oracle
purchasing system and describes how Payables uses the data to perform two-way,
three-way and four-way matching to purchase orders.
Important: We only include descriptions of the required tables and

columns for matching to a non-Oracle purchasing system. For complete
details on all the entities and relationships that Payables uses for
matching, see: Table Definitions Payables Applications Technical Reference
Manual.

Understanding the Matching Tables

Payables uses several of Oracle Purchasing tables for matching. To implement matching
in Payables, you need to load these tables with the data from your non-Oracle
purchasing application.
• PO_HEADERS
• PO_LINES
• PO_LINE_LOCATIONS
• PO_DISTRIBUTIONS
• PO_DISTRIBUTIONS_AP_V (view of PO_DISTRIBUTIONS)
• PO_RELEASES (Blanket Purchase Orders)
• PO_LOOKUP_CODES
AutoUpgrade automatically installs these and other necessary Oracle Purchasing

application tables when you install Payables.
PO_HEADERS
Each record in this table represents a purchase order, which is an order for goods or
services from a single supplier. Each purchase order may have multiple lines
(PO_LINES).
In addition, each blanket purchase order may have multiple blanket releases
(PO_RELEASES), which release an amount from the blanket.
PO_LINES
Each record in this table represents a purchase order line, which identifies the items and
unit price for the goods ordered on a purchase order. Each purchase order line may
have multiple shipments (PO_LINE_LOCATIONS).
PO_LINE_LOCATIONS
Each record in this table represents a purchase order shipment, which identifies the
quantity of an item shipped to a buyer location by the supplier. Each purchase order
B-2 Oracle Payables Reference Guide

shipment may have multiple accounting distributions (PO_DISTRIBUTIONS).
PO_DISTRIBUTIONS/PO_DISTRIBUTIONS_AP_V
Each record in this table/view represents a purchase order distribution, which identifies
the account charged for the items on a purchase order shipment.
PO_RELEASES
Each record in this table represents a blanket release for a purchase order. A blanket
release may create multiple shipments.
AP_INVOICES/AP_INVOICE_DISTRIBUTIONS
Each purchase order shipment can be matched to multiple invoices (AP_INVOICES),
and a single invoice may be matched to multiple purchase order shipments.
When you match an invoice to a purchase order shipment, Payables creates an invoice
distribution (AP_INVOICE_DISTRIBUTIONS) from each purchase order distribution
on the shipment. When you match an invoice to a single purchase order distribution,
Payables creates a single invoice distribution from the purchase order distribution.
Table Descriptions
The following section describes the tables and the columns that Payables supports for
matching to purchase orders from your non-Oracle purchase system. We describe how
the columns are used and, if a column is required, the values you must load to
successfully perform matching. For a complete description of the tables, please consult
the Payables Applications Technical Reference Manual.
Important: You must populate all NOT NULL columns in the

purchasing tables.

order lines with Items unless you install Oracle Purchasing.
ITEM_DESCRIPTION
Enter a description for your purchase order line. You can use this column to record
information about the item on the purchase order line. Payables displays this

description in the Purchase Order Shipments zone during matching.
TYPE_1099
Enter the income tax type for the purchase order line, if the supplier for the purchase
order is a 1099 supplier. Payables assigns this type as the default income tax type for
each invoice distribution created by matching to this purchase order line. If you leave
the column empty, Payables uses the income tax type for the supplier as the default.
See: Entering Invoices for Suppliers Subject to Income Tax Reporting Requirements,
Oracle Payables User Guide.

QUANTITY
Enter the quantity of goods ordered for the purchase order shipment. Payables uses this
amount to match against if you are using 2-way matching. Payables verifies that this
quantity matches the invoice quantity within defined tolerance levels and places the
invoice on hold if it doesn't match. In addition, if the quantity of the invoice is greater

than the shipment quantity, your Payables warns you during invoice entry that the
match will result in an overbill.
QUANTITY_RECEIVED/QUANTITY_ACCEPTED
Enter the quantity of goods received/accepted if you are using 3-way/4-way matching.
Payables verifies that the quantity matches the invoice quantity within defined
tolerance levels and places the invoice on hold if it doesn't match.
QUANTITY_BILLED
Do not enter a value in this column, unless you have already matched an invoice to this
purchase order shipment. When a match successfully completes (invoice is validated),
Payables updates this column with the quantity you specified during matching.
QUANTITY_CANCELLED
Only enter a value in this column if you have cancelled a portion of the purchase order
shipment in your non-Oracle purchasing system. The amount you enter reduces the
amount that Payables considers to be the outstanding quantity ordered. Payables
displays a warning if you try to match to a shipment which has been cancelled.
When you cancel a shipment, Oracle Purchasing sets the
PO_LINE_LOCATIONS.QUANTITY_CANCELLED to:
• QUANTITY - QUANTITY_RECEIVED if receipt is required
• QUANTITY - QUANTITY_BILLED if receipt is not required.
Important: Invoice Validation does all quantity checks assuming

the QUANTITY is the actual QUANTITY minus the
QUANTITY_CANCELLED.
UNIT_MEAS_LOOKUP_CODE
Payables displays this value in the matching zones, but does not validate the column.
You can enter any value into this column; however, you should use the same value that
you use in your non-Oracle purchasing system.
TAXABLE_FLAG
Enter Y or N to indicate the purchase order shipment is subject to tax. If you enter Y,
enter a value in the TAX_NAME column. During Invoice Validation, Payables verifies
that the tax code value for the purchase order shipment matches the tax code value on
the invoice and places a Tax Difference hold on the invoice if the tax code values don't
match.

TAX_NAME
Enter the tax value (tax code or tax group) used to verify that the tax values on the
invoice and purchase order shipment match. You do not need to enter a value if you
enter N in the TAXABLE_FLAG column.
TYPE_LOOKUP_CODE
Enter BLANKET, STANDARD, or SCHEDULED (Lookup Type: SHIPMENT TYPE) to
identify the type of purchase order shipment.
CLOSED_CODE
Do not enter a value in this column if you want to match an invoice to this purchase
order shipment. If you enter the values CLOSED, FINALLY CLOSED, or CLOSED FOR
INVOICE in the column, Payables warns you that you are matching to a closed
purchase order.
PO_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL (Account distribution)

Payables uses a view (PO_DISTRIBUTIONS_AP_V) to the PO_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL
table to perform purchase order distribution matching. The following table shows
information for PO_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL.

SET_OF_BOOKS_ID
Enter the set of books ID for your purchase order distribution. The ID you enter must be
for the set of books you define in the Set of Books window.
CODE_COMBINATION_ID
Enter the Accounting Flexfield ID for the expense account you want to charge for the
goods on the purchase order distribution.
QUANTITY_ORDERED
Enter the amount of goods charged to the Accounting Flexfield for this purchase order
distribution.
Important: NOTE: Payables does not validate the following, but

assumes it to be true: Total of
PO_DISTRIBUTIONS.QUANTITY_ORDERED for one
PO_LINE_LOCATION_ID = PO_LINES_LOCATIONS.QUANTITY (for
the same ID). Payables sometimes prorates the
PO_DISTRIBUTION.QUANTITY_ORDERED using the
PO_LINES_LOCATIONS.QUANTITY as the total.
BUDGET_ACCOUNT_ID/ACCRUAL_ACCOUNT_ID/ VARIANCE_ACCOUNT_ID
Enter the same Accounting Flexfield ID you entered for the
CODE_COMBINATION_ID. Payables allows you to record budget, accrual, and
variance (price and exchange rate) amounts for your purchase order distributions, but
requires you to charge these amounts to the same expense account for the distribution.

QUANTITY_BILLED
Do not enter a value in this column, unless you have already matched an invoice
distribution to this purchase order distribution. When a match successfully completes
(invoice is validated), Payables updates this column with the quantity you specified
during matching.
QUANTITY_CANCELLED
Enter a value in this column only if you have cancelled a portion of the purchase order
distribution in your non-Oracle purchasing system. The amount you enter reduces the
amount that Payables considers to be the outstanding quantity ordered. Payables
displays a warning if you try to match to a shipment which has been cancelled.
Important: Invoice Validation does all quantity checks assuming the

quantity for the distribution is QUANTITY_ORDERED minus
QUANTITY_CANCELLED.
AMOUNT_BILLED
Do not enter a value in this column unless you have already matched an invoice to this
purchase order shipment. When a match successfully completes (invoice is validated),
the system updates this column with the amount of the quantity you specified during
matching multiplied by the unit price.
Oracle Projects Columns

Enter project information from Oracle Projects if you want to associate the invoice
distribution (created through matching) with a project in Oracle Projects. Payables
transfers the information into the AP_INVOICE_DISTRIBUTIONS table and uses it to
create the default Accounting Flexfield for the invoice distribution.
Matching to Purchase Orders

Perform the following steps to match invoices to purchase order information from your
non-Oracle purchasing system:
Create Flat File with Purchasing Information

To load invoice information into Payables via SQL*Loader, first create a program that
produces a flat file containing the information from your non-Oracle purchasing system
for the purchase orders you want to match to invoices.
Load Information into Purchasing Tables

Use SQL*Loader to load the required information into the purchasing tables. You will
need to create a SQL*Loader control file to format the information you want to load.

The file you write will vary greatly depending on the nature and format of the flat file
you use. Your control file must populate the purchasing tables as indicated in the
previous table descriptions. See also: SQL*Loader (ORACLE8 Server Utilities Guide).
Enter Invoices
You match invoices to purchase order shipments during invoice entry. This online
function links an invoice in the database to one or more purchase order shipments you
choose. You cannot pay or account for an invoice until the invoice is validated.
You can match any type of invoice to a purchase order, including credit and debit
memos.
Match to Purchase Order Shipments and distributions

When you match during invoice entry, you indicate whether you want to match to the
purchase order shipment or to specific invoice distributions. You then choose the
shipment or distribution you want to match to, and the quantity and price you are
matching. Then Payables performs the following for each matched shipment:
• Update QUANTITY_BILLED and AMOUNT_BILLED in PO_DISTRIBUTIONS
• Update QUANTITY_BILLED in PO_LINE_LOCATIONS
• Create one or more AP_INVOICE_DISTRIBUTIONS which record the

QUANTITY_INVOICED, UNIT_PRICE, and PO_DISTRIBUTION_ID, in addition to
other payables information.
Match to Credit and Debit Memos

Payables lets you enter a credit or debit memo (with a negative amount) and match to a
purchase order. You would enter a negative quantity in the Quantity Invoiced field in
the Purchase Order Shipment Match zone, thereby matching this credit invoice to one
or no purchase order shipment lines. Payables then decreases the quantity billed against
the purchase order shipment line(s).
When you match a credit invoice to a purchase order shipment line, Payables:
• Reopens closed shipment lines (sets PO_LINE_LOCATIONS.CLOSED_CODE to
NULL)
• Updates PO_LINE_LOCATIONS.QUANTITY_BILLED
• Updates PO_DISTRIBUTIONS.QUANTITY_BILLED
Important: Payables does not update any receiving information.

You must install Oracle Purchasing if you want to enter or update
receiving information for a purchase order

Close a Purchase Order Shipment
Invoice entry closes a purchase order shipment (sets CLOSED_CODE in
PO_LINE_LOCATIONS to 'CLOSED') when:
• QUANTITY_BILLED equals or exceeds QUANTITY_ORDERED (two-way
matching), or
• QUANTITY_ORDERED is less than or equal to QUANTITY_RECEIVED and

QUANTITY_RECEIVED is less than or equal to QUANTITY_BILLED
Final Close
Payables does not support finally closing a purchase order if you do not install Oracle
Purchasing with Payables. See: Final Matching Invoices and Final Closing Purchase
Orders, Oracle Payables User Guide.
Online Review of Purchasing Information

Without an Oracle Purchasing application, Payables does not allow you to review
purchasing information, such as purchase order header and line information, online in
the Invoice Workbench.
Using Invoice Validation

Invoice Validation is the Payables feature that performs two-, three-, or four-way
matching. An invoice must pass Invoice Validation before you can pay or account for
the invoice. Invoice Validation reviews each invoice and places one or more matching
holds on the invoice if the invoice does not meet your matching criteria. It also releases
any existing matching holds if you adjust your invoice or purchase order to meet your
matching criteria and current information on order, receipt and acceptance prices and
quantities.
You must submit Invoice Validation for all invoices, not just matched invoices, since it
also checks for distribution variances, tax variances, and exchange rate information.
You can submit Invoice Validation online for an invoice or in batch for a group of
invoices. See also: Invoice Validation, Oracle Payables User Guide.
2-way, 3-way, and 4-way Matching

When you match to a purchase order, Payables automatically checks that the total of
PO_DISTRIBUTIONS.QUANTITY_ORDERED =
AP_INVOICE_DISTRIBUTIONS.QUANTITY_INVOICED (2-way matching).
Payables only checks QUANTITY_RECEIVED (3-way matching) if the
RECEIPT_REQUIRED_FLAG is set to Y and only checks QUANTITY_ACCEPTED
(4-way matching) if the INSPECTION_REQUIRED_FLAG is set to Y.

Matching Tolerance
You can define percentage and amount tolerances for Matching quantities and price.
Payables places a matching hold on an invoice only if the invoice quantity or price is
greater than the purchasing quantity or price by more than your tolerance.
Matching Holds
When you submit Invoice Validation, Payables places a matching hold on a matched
invoice (by inserting one or more rows in AP_HOLDS, one row for each type of hold for
each invoice distribution) if:
• QUANTITY_BILLED > QUANTITY in PO_LINE_LOCATIONS (QTY ORD Hold)
• UNIT_PRICE in AP_INVOICE_DISTRIBUTIONS > PRICE_OVERRIDE in

PO_LINE_LOCATIONS (PRICE Hold)
• QUANTITY_BILLED > QUANTITY_RECEIVED in PO_LINE_LOCATIONS (QTY

REC Hold)
• QUANTITY_BILLED > QUANTITY_ACCEPTED in PO_LINE_LOCATIONS

(QUALITY Hold)
• TAXABLE_FLAG = NO in PO_LINE_LOCATIONS, but there IS tax recorded on the

invoice (TAX DIFFERENCE Hold)
• TAX_NAME in PO_LINE_LOCATIONS is not equal to VAT_CODE in

AP_INVOICE_DISTRIBUTIONS (TAX DIFFERENCE Hold)
See also: Releasing Holds, Oracle Payables User Guide.
Using Encumbrance Accounting with Purchasing

Payables supports using encumbrance accounting with a non-Oracle purchasing
system. To use encumbrance accounting, however, you must initially record the
encumbered amount for the purchase order to which you want to match an invoice.
Then, when Invoice Validation validates the invoice, if there is a variance between the
invoice and its matched purchase order within the tolerances you define, Payables
automatically creates an encumbrance journal entry for the amount of the variance.
Important: Invoice Validation uses the Payables table,

AP_TRANSFER_ENCUMBRANCE, if you enable encumbrance
accounting. Payables never drops this table, but deletes the appropriate
lines from this table at the beginning of the program each time you
submit Invoice Validation.
With an Oracle Purchasing application installed, Payables allows you to record these

variance encumbrance journal entries to a separate variance account. With a non-Oracle
purchasing system, Payables requires you to record the variance amount to the same
Accounting Flexfield as the expense Accounting Flexfield for the purchase order
distribution.
When you post the invoice to your general ledger, Payables relieves both the original
encumbrance journal entries that you created when you encumbered the purchase
order and the encumbrance journal entries it automatically created for the variance.
Payables then creates actual journal entries for your invoice transaction. Your variance
encumbrance journal entries and your actual journal entries update your account
balances only when you post the journal entries in your general ledger. See also:
Encumbrances in Payables, Oracle Payables User Guide.
Budgetary Control
The budgetary control feature does not use purchasing information unless you install
Oracle Purchasing.
Related Topics
Encumbrance Entries in Payables, Oracle Payables User Guide
Purging Purchasing Information

Payables does not allow you to purge purchasing information if you do not have an
Oracle Purchasing application installed. When you match an invoice to a purchase
order from a non-Oracle purchasing system, you will not be able to purge the invoice
because Payables requires that all objects, including matched purchase orders,
associated with an invoice must be purgeable before you can purge the invoice. See:
Purging Records, Oracle Payables User Guide.

Predefined Setup for Oracle Subledger
Accounting
Data that Oracle Payables Predefines for Oracle Subledger Accounting

Oracle Payables provides predefined data for Oracle Subledger Accounting that you
can use to integrate the two applications. When you run the Create Accounting
program to create draft or final subledger accounting, the program uses the predefined
data to determine how to create the accounting. Payables predefines setup for
Subledger Accounting so that the Create Accounting program accepts the default
accounting information from AutoAccounting without change. Subledger Accounting
transfers the final accounting to Oracle General Ledger.
You can optionally define your own subledger accounting rules to overwrite the default
accounts from the accounting events.
Note: You must use an Oracle Payables responsibility to query

predefined data that is associated with the Oracle Payables application.

Sources, Source Assignments, and Accounting Attribute Assignments
Oracle Payables predefines sources, source assignments, and accounting attribute
assignments for Oracle Subledger Accounting.
You can use the Accounting Methods Builder to review the sources, source
assignments, and accounting attribute assignments. You must access the Accounting
Methods Builder using an Oracle Payables responsibility if you want to review the
sources, source assignments, and accounting attribute assignments associated with the
Oracle Payables application.
Note: You cannot make changes to predefined sources, source

assignments, or accounting attribute assignments. However, you can
define your own custom sources.
If you choose to define your own journal line types or application
accounting definitions, then you can override the default accounting
attribute assignments.
Oracle Payables provides numerous predefined sources. When you use the Sources
window to review the predefined sources, you can optionally export the queried
sources from the application to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.
To export a list of sources:
1. From an Oracle responsibility, navigate to the Sources window.
2. Query the records you want to export.
3. Place your cursor in the multi-row block that contains the records to be exported.
4. Choose Export from the File menu.
See: Exporting Records to a File, Oracle Applications User's Guide
Journal Line Types

Oracle Payables predefines journal line types for each predefined event class. Oracle
Payables specifies conditions for the use of each journal line type. The following table
lists the journal line types that Oracle predefines for the Oracle Payables application.

Account Derivation Rules

Oracle Payables predefines account derivation rules. When Oracle Subledger
Accounting uses the predefined account derivation rules that Oracle Payables provides,
it accepts the default accounting that Oracle Payables generates using AutoAccounting
without change.
You can optionally define your own account derivation rules for an Accounting
Flexfield or for a segment. In this case, Oracle Subledger Accounting overrides the
default accounts that Oracle Payables generates, or individual segment values in the

default accounts, when it creates the draft or final subledger accounting.
The name account derivation rules that Oracle Payables predefines for the Oracle
Payables application are as follows:
