trade profiles at customer site level along with a generic profile at the customer account
level.
Along with the above described site level trade profiles enhancement, a new Supplier
Trade Profiles setup will also be added in Release 12.1.1 to capture some critical supplier
site specific profiles that will help determine supplier preferences for price protection and
supplier ship and debit flows.
Additional enhancements in the module will also support the administrative functions
that will be leveraged by Oracle Price Protection and Oracle Ship and Debit.
Oracle Sub-ledger Accounting (SLA) is a rule based accounting engine that centralizes
all accounting for Oracle E-Business application. SLA enhances the flexibility and
accuracy of transaction accounting. With a flexible tool called Accounting Methods
Builder, users can determine the accounts, lines, descriptions, summarization, and dates
of their journal entries. Users can also add detailed transaction information to journal
headers and lines. Detailed sub-ledger accounting journals are available for analytics,

auditing, and reporting. SLA enables a common data model and a common UI across all
Oracle sub-ledgers.
In a high volume claims environment it can be very tedious to update claims one by one.
Claims Mass Update screen is a brand new feature introduced in R12.1.3 + that will
allow users to update information for multiple claims using a single screen. Some of the
fields that can be updated using this page are owner, broker, salesperson, claim reason,
claim type, Customer reference, descriptive flexfields, settlement, notes and attachment.

data for consistency and processes the data against special price agreements that exist in
the system.
In the current release of the product, the earnings for a Special Price Request are created
upfront with the approval of a special price and the earnings are relieved as the POS data
is received and validated.
Changing business and accounting needs require the process be flexible so as to enable
the business users to decide if the accruals need to be created up front or based on the
POS data receipt. In addition, Users need control over the claim creation and settlement
process where they need to decide if the claims are automatically to be created and settled
as soon as the POS is received or will these claims be created manually and settled on a
need basis
The enhancement for profile based accrual creation and settlement allows for a profile
based configurable setup to meet the business requirements. Based on accounting policies
and revenue recognition needs, organizations will now have the ability to

3.3.5. Release 12.2
One of the most commonly used promotion/offer types in Channel is the Volume Offer.
Volume offers, whether on an off invoice or accrual basis, are frequently used as
incentives to customers, buying groups or partners, based on their cumulative purchase
volume over a period of time. These volume discounts allow businesses to purchase
additional inventory at reduced cost, and allow manufacturers to increase their revenues
by selling more units to incentivized buyers. This feature is the basis of almost all the
businesses happening currently in the world.
In release 12.2.4 the volume offer capabilities are further enhanced to provide for all
possible scenarios in maintaining and executing volume offers like the ability to enhance
the adjustment screen to add/remove parties, formula and tiers in a volume offer while
keeping the ability to add/remove products.
Also in this release the volume offer UI has been ported to Oracle Application
Framework (OAF) which provides a better user interface as users are able to navigate and
click through various screens quickly and efficiently.
A portion of this feature is back-ported to 12.1.3+.
Budget Checkbook is a great report that enables customers to get a complete picture of all
customer accruals with drill down to the actual transactions. The budget checkbook view
has been enhanced in R12.2.4 adding in a lot of flexibility and better user experience.
Users are now able to search on accrual data, order number, payment document number
and so on. The enhanced checkbook capability allows users to group data by criteria and
to enable quick identification of accrual transactions.

3.3.8.2. Mobile Approvals
Oracle Mobile Approvals for Oracle E-Business Suite is a smart phone application that
allows approvers and managers to respond on-the-go to pending approval requests. From
their phone, anywhere and anytime, managers can take quick action on approval requests
for budgets, offers as well as claims. Mobile approvals are supported for both iOS and
Android platforms. This feature is huge time saver as it allows approvers to quickly and
effectively approve or reject transactions from their mobile devices.
For a full description, refer to the E-Business Suite Applications Technology Release
Content Document.
This feature is back-ported to 12.1.3+
Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document Oracle Price Protection 10
In the current release, any inventory adjustments made after the acceptance and start of
the process will not go through for approval of the inventory adjustment. In addition once
a price protection transaction is received, the effective date is locked and not updatable.
This updated design of processing flows allow users to forecast inventory claims prior to
the effective dates and ensures that any adjustments made to inventory claims are
approved prior to the Price Protection execution of an invoice / claim to the supplier. The
effective dates can be edited up till the actual execution of the entire agreement.
Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document Oracle Supplier Ship and Debit 11
This new feature provides Supplier Ship and Debit users with greater levels of
automation and will remove any efforts involved with manually adjusting open/unpaid
accrual balances. Automatic adjustment for rejected claims enables audit compliances
and also provides for a great reconciliation tool. With this feature the supplier balance
checkbook will be more accurate and will allow efficient tracking of actual realization of
Ship and Debit dollars versus claims that are rejected or not realized. The system also
provides for flexibility in determining the General Ledger accounts that need to be
charged for write offs based on various type of supplier rejects.
In release 12.1.3 Supplier Ship and Debit has been enhanced to support accruals
based on Indirect Sales Data.

related information into a single, high user driven platform enabling users to make
smarter decisions. Since Channel Revenue Management can be used both by
Manufacturers and Distributors, the Budget Dashboard enables some very unique value
to each of these users.
Manufacturers can leverage the Budget Dashboard to track their customer liabilities and
get a classification of every dollar spent, and slice and dice this data by various attributes
like budget category, currency, time period, operating unit, offer types and marketing
activities. The Budget Dashboard provides users with full visibility on what is still owed
to the customer, what has already been paid and what are the customer balances.
For distributors and retailers leveraging Channel Revenue Management to track vendor
rebates, this new dashboard for budgets provides a very solid view into their vendor
receivables. They can lookup balances for vendor rebates that are not claimed yet and
expedite the payments on these.
