Oracle Fixed Assets module offers a variety of asset categories to fulfil a different organizational needs. Asset types include capitalized assets, CIP (Construction in Process), Group Asset, and Expensed Type Asset. Low-value assets and assets that do not depreciate but are nevertheless tracked as assets are classified as expensed assets. They are only used for tracking purposes, and the entire cost for these assets are expensed when the asset is acquired. There will be no accounting for these assets in fixed asset module and the accounting will be handled by Payables via Invoice Accounting. These are non-depreciable assets since the depreciate checkbox at the asset level has no effect on the asset because no depreciation will be charged even if the checkbox is checked. These assets cannot be copied to the tax book using Initial Mass Copy, Periodic Mass Copy, or manual entry and cannot be reclassified to a category which is meant for capitalized assets. Conditions for Importing Expensed Invoice Line Distributions • The invoice line distribution is charged to an Expense account  • Track as Asset is selected • The invoice is approved • The invoice line distribution is posted to Oracle General Ledger from Payables • The general ledger date on the invoice line distribution is on or before the date you specify for the create program • Payables must be linked to the same ledger as the corporate book for which mass adds records are to be created.

As a part of new IFRS & ASC842 lease accounting requirement enhancement, we have released a new Cumulative patch.  Patch Details are 12.1.3 - 32169559:R12.PN.B 12.2.X - 32169559:R12.PN.C The above cumulative patch not only has few critical bug fixes, it also has a major product enhancement being included in it. The major enhancement that are released as a part of this cumulative patch is Lease Expense Straight Lining On Payment Term Contraction  : Currently when a payment term is contracted via UI, system considers this action to have been performed to end the life of the related asset/property for the payment term, and thereby stops amortization and lease expense calculation on the new end date of the payment term. Now, in case of the leases having multiple payment terms, due to an individual payment term’s amortization and lease expense calculation being halted midway of the lease tenure, the total lease expense for the lease becomes uneven post the ACD of the payment term contraction. With this enhancement, users will be provided with a profile option - “PN: Lease expense straight line on payment contraction”. If this profile option is set to 'Y', the contracted payment term's amortization and lease expense calculation will continue till the lease end date instead of the new end date of the payment. For more details on the latest CU and updates regarding IFRS please refer Doc id: 2482062.2

Physical inventory is a critical business process through which a successful enterprise periodically inspects its assets to protect its large capital investments and to comply with auditing requirements. Physical inventory is the process of ensuring that the assets a company has listed in its Production system matches the assets it actually has in inventory. It also ensures that capital assets recorded in the Fixed Asset Accounting and Control System physically exist, determine if unrecorded or improperly recorded transactions have occurred, and identify any excess, defective or obsolete assets on hand. An effective inventory results in an accurate accounting of capital assets, and indicates the reliability of the system of accountability for the acquisition, use, and disposal of those assets.  The frequency of taking an inventory depends on the nature, quantity, and value of the capital assets, and the cost and effort required to perform the procedures. How it works in Oracle Assets Oracle Assets is a worldwide best practice tool which automates the physical inventory process minimizing administrative costs. The Physical Inventory feature in Oracle Assets assists you in comparing and reconciling your physical inventory data. To use the Physical Inventory feature, you must first take physical count of your assets. You need to include the following information about your assets while taking : A unique identifier, which can be either the asset number, tag number, or serial number The location The number of units To know more details on how physical inventory functionality works in Oracle assets, what are all the per-requisite setups required and which reports can we use to reconcile the asset details etc, refer Doc Id 2003290.1

Prior to IFRS enhancement in property manager, though we did have an option to capture the options that a tenant or landlord can exercise during the lease life, it did not have any impact on any of the calculations. However post IFRS enhancement, the options tab has been enhanced and users can capture the options, which are certain to be exercised from a tenant’s perspective during Termination, Purchase, Renewal or Residual options etc and the same will be included in the ROU / Liability calculations. Like normal payment terms even for options we can enable compliance related check boxes like ROU / Liability/ report from Inception / Inter Company check boxes can be checked even at options level. As options has a financial impact going forward, we need to keep in mind that Options can be added only via Amendment going forward  Options can also be extended / terminated via amendment and system will recalculate the ROU / Liability balances due to Options Amendment / termination.  All calculations during amendment of Options like ROU,Liability, etc including lease expense will start from Amendment start date  Schedule and items program will not be triggered when only an option is added / amended. But if a schedule and items program is triggered as a part of Payment term amendment for a lease which has options, the program output has been enhanced to capture the options details as well Options will also be part of period end accrual balances and Interest Expense and amortization expense will be derived for Liability and ROU considering option amounts. Amortizations and interest expense for options are calculated till option termination date. The amortizations/interest are not restricted to the lease termination date.   For more information on this enhanced option functionality, refer document 2432815.1

In Oracle fixed assets, depreciation and create accounting programs are two programs which touches each and every asset and often leads to performance issues. However there are many tips / setups which can help us to improve the create accounting performance. Following are few suggestions which might help to reduce the overall run time for Create Accounting process : 1.  Make sure below profiles are already set FA: Batch size : 10000 FA: Number of Parallel Requests : 10 2.  Ensure you run 'Gather Statistics' for the FA, XLA & XDO Schema on a regular basis. 3.  Ensure debug profiles like 'FA: Print Debug' / 'FND: Debug Log Enabled' are NOT set to 'Yes'. 4.  Make use of 'Process Category' parameter to restrict the number of events getting processed in each run. 5.  Performance can be improved by using parallel work that will increase the performance as work is split on a worker for each available processor. To do that: A) Set the 'No of Processors' in the Update System Options to a higher number; This can be set up to number of processor minus one. To achieve this: Navigate to: GL responsibility > Accounting Setup Manager Query for your ledger and click on update subledger accounting options. For your application, click on Update System Options. Here, you can enable parallel option, that will spawn multiple child programs. B) Make sure concurrent manager has appropriate settings to launch that many concurrent manager requests in parallel. C) Also, you can change the 'unit size' and 'number of events' of that event class to be picked by one processor at a time. Along with the above steps, create accounting can be run only for one 'Process Category' at a time. Say there are 3 different 'Process Category': EC1 = 100000 events EC2 = 500000 events EC3 = 300000 events In this case, it can be set like: number of units = 5 and number of events per class = 10000 Then create accounting should be run separately for EC1 and EC2 and EC3. This way, it will launch 3 separate Create Accounting sessions and each create accounting will launch 5 Create Accounting programs. 6. Run Create Accounting process with Report option set to 'No Report'. Refer to: Doc ID 1967177.1 - How To Improve Create Accounting - Assets Performance

Announcement of the release of UK P11D Legislative Payroll Changes 2019-20 Patches

Ever assign an item to an organization and realize that you assigned to a wrong organization? There is a new feature added in Oracle EBS 12.2.9 latest version to make the unassign process easier. In previous releases, item once assigned to child organization through items form in Inventory or through item overview page in Product Hub, cannot be de-selected or unassigned once an item is saved, the assign checkbox became read-only. The user would have to delete the item from the organization by creating a delete group. Here is what the user might see in the item form:     The process was simplified by enabling the checkbox so the user can mark the checkbox to False. Upon saving the change, the concurrent program "Delete Item Information" is submitted to remove the item assignment.   Here is what the user might see in the Product Hub:   For details on how to set up, process flow and other helpful information, please check out the below document.

                                              With Contributing Author: Twila Chavez Cartonization - What is it and How Can It Help Your Warehouse? Have you and your colleagues been discussing if and how to implement Cartonization? Oracle EBS Warehouse Management can provide this functionality.Cartonization is the process that suggests a container to pack items based on constraints such as cubic volume of items and container volume.  Cartonization Uses: Oracle Warehouse Management uses cartonization in three places: Sales order and manufacturing picking Prepack for manufacturing completion Inventory bulk pack  Customer can have the ability to choose and create robust rules that automatically determine the best container during the pick release process. There are four types of Cartonization Single Item– An item is always matched to the same container based on the static relationship you setup in the item/container relationship window. Mixed Item– Uses the contained-container item capacity and dimension restrictions defined on the master item window and checks it against the category and category set setup as well. Pick Slip Grouping– Generate an LPN for all items that belong to the same pick slip. Customer Algorithm– Uses a stub API to interface with customer-defined cartonization rules. Process: The cartonization algorithm Oracle WMS uses, minimizes the number of containers used at each level in the packaging hierarchy, based on volume, weight and minimum percent fill settings of the containers. This algorithm also verifies the dimensions of the packed material can fit inside the dimensions of container.  This is just a sneak peak of the cartonization setup and functionality. For more details of the setup and a demo please review to notes: INV Webinar Series: WMS Cartonization [Video] (Doc ID 1375161.1) EBS WMS: Cartonization Setup and Diagnostics (Doc ID 1496099.1)
