Un-blocking Procurement Card Settlement generated AP Invoices

Hi there,
We have implemented the Procurement Card solution in SRM 5.0 with an ECC 6.0 back-end system.
The process flow looks (pretty standard) like this:
1. User purchases goods with charge card
2. Card statement loaded to SRM
3. Invoices created (one per card) in back-end (credit vendor account and debit a payment card clearing account). Invoices have payment block of 'x' applied automatically.
4. Simultaneously work items sent to user (nominated on the card master data) to reconcile the purchases to the correct GL / Cost Centre (if default not acceptable)
5. Once reconciled, GL postings sent to back-end to debit the GL / Cost Centre  and credit the payment card clearing account
6. Carefully designed clearing program run will clear the payment card clearing account
Our issue is that we have quite a high number of charge card users and hence a high number of invoices generated every time we load the statement. Each one of these invoices is blocked for payment automatically and therefore we have a manual process to follow to unblock these invoices for payment.
Is there an automated unblocking process upon reconcilliation that we are missing?
Thanks
Matt

Hello.
It seems that the usual process is to pay the vendor (card provider) by Direct Debit. In which case, it is practical that the invoices remain blocked so that you do not end up paying the vendor twice (via DD and via your own payment program). The invoice will be cleared off against the DD payment on the vendor account once the bank statement has been uploaded into SAP.
Cheers
Matt

  • How can I firce procurement Card settlement in SRM 7.0?

    Hello,
    We are moving from SRM 5.0 to SRM 7.0, and I would like to understand if there is a way to force items to be settled to a procurement card in 7.0 (using an external cataog aggregator). Currently, in 5.0, we have a "P" appended to the end of a product category when they come from the catalog if they are forced to be settled to a procurement card. This means we also have to maintain all product categories twice (once with a P and once without) in COMM_HIERARCHY. we have a BADI in place to force the pro card selection if the product category ends with a "P".
    Is there an easier way in SRM 7.0? We want to replice PO's back to ECC but do not want to have to maintain all product categories twice in both environments!
    Thanks in advance for any help!
    -Eric

    Masa,
    Can you please provide more details on this for me? Is the "Customer Field" the supplier, because we would like to be able to have different settlement methods for each supplier in some cases, because it will be possible to procure items from a supplier for MRO items and settle them to a work order and cost center, while still procuring from that same supplier for non maintenance items that will be paid for with a procurement card.
    Thanks - Eric

  • Procurement Card functionality in SRM

    Hi,
    I am looking into implementing Procurement card functionality in SRM.  I remember something about P cards in SRM only work in the standalone scenario but is this still correct.  What are the limitations of the procurement card solution within SRM that I should be aware of before deciding on the SRM option or looking at a third party application.
    Thanks for any help.

  • Procurement Card data upload from flat file to database

    Hi All,
    I need to upload Procurement Card data from a flat file to the database in the table BBP_PCMAS.
    I found a BAPI BAPI_PCARD_CREATEMULTIPLE which uploads the data perfectly, however the structure PCMASTER that it takes as input does not contain the field for Blocking reason PCBLOCK - Reason for blocking procurement card. I need to upload this file as well from the flat file.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    You are correct the function module BAPI_PCARD_CREATEMULTIPLE  does not contain the PCBLOCK field.
    Alternatively what you can do is read the PC data after it is created and modify it with the PCBLOCK appropiately. The necessary function modules are given below.
    BBP_PCMAS_READ_PCMAS - Read Data
    BBP_PCMAS_MODIFY_PCMAS - Modify Data
    Note: BBP_PCMAS_MODIFY_PCMAS is a Update Task FM. Hence it shoild be called as given below, ( refer form write_data of the FM BAPI_PCARD_CREATEMULTIPLE)
      call function 'BBP_PCMAS_MODIFY_PCMAS' in update task
           exporting
                i_pcmas     = i_pcmas

  • Procurement Card Requisition to Payment flow

    I need to know how to match Supplier Pcard Invoice to be paid to Card issuer with POs that were created for supplier.
    Logically I have divided the Pcard Procurement to Payment flow:
    Parties: Buyer, Vendor, Procurement Card Issuer
    * Punchout Pcard Requisition to Toucheless Purchase Order
    * Purchase Order Transmission to Vendor with Pcard information
    * Vendor payment collection from Card Issuer on daily basis(This is out side of Oracle eBS or Buyer's system)
    * Vendor to send Pcard statement for Payment to Buyer
    * Buyer to reconcile Pcard statement with PO History Feed
    * Import Invoice to be paid to Card issuer
    My question is, how to traceable POs paid from Invoice data, as the invoice will be created for card issuer as supplier so that they are paid whereas the POs were created for vendor who was enable with Procurement Card.
    Appreciate any help!

  • Accounting document not generating for Invoice cancellation

    Hi Gurus
    We have a scenario where two invoices are getting generated from one contract(Order related billing). But when cancelling these two invoice one cancellation document is not generating accounting document.
    The posting period is open on the date of cancellation . The posting status is "Error in Financial Accounting Interface".The customer is not blocked and profit center in cancellation invoice is matching with the contract. Please guide.

    Hi:
         Display billing doc in VF02....and do release to accounting or this can happen due to the fact the invoice was generated in a closed period hence you need to change the invoice date in header VF02 to current month date and then do the reversal.

  • Credit Card settlement FCC1 fails, no records in table BSIS

    Dear experts,
    I'm implementing credit card integration with a new web shop, and got stuck with FI configuration, probably since I'm brand new to FI...
    Okay, this is what happens... When I select payment by invoice, sales order gets created fine, and the invoice is created from the sales order instantaneously. Financial documents etc. all fine.
    Now when I select payment by credit card, the sales order gets created fine as well, after the credit card has been authorized. The invoice however does not get created. Warning message: "The item is not relevant for billing".
    Okay, this might or might not be the standard process. Either the invoice should be created instantly (in which case billing config is incorrect) or the invoice should be created after credit card settlement (in which case there's some other FI config not right).
    So my first question I hope someone can answer me here: When is the billing supposed to happen? Before or after the settlement? If it's before settlement, why does it say then that the item is not relevant, whereas, if I pay by invoice, it is relevant?
    For my second question, let's assume, invoicing is supposed to happen after settlement.
    If I execute the settlement process in transaction FCC1, the message I get is: FY033 "No items to be settled found"
    Digging some deeper, I found the cause for the message in table BSIS, where the items for settlement are supposed to be stored. However, they're plainly not in that table. So my second question I hope to get some insight for: How do I configure the flow so that after credit card authentication the items are ready for settlement?
    Best wishes and many thanks,
    Jan

  • Use of Procurement Card w/e-Business Suite (11.5.9)

    Our company has made the decision to start using P Card. The company that we get the card from provides their own web-hosted application that allows for on-line review and approval routing of charges as well as reporting.
    In my mind, this approach eliminates the need for us to use the "Procurement Card Management" functionality available under the Payables module of e-Business Suite 11i.
    Can anyone provide a list of pros/cons to using card company's application vs. Oracle's functionality? Successes/failures?
    Upon final approval of the credit card bill, we would also download files from the card provider's application into either Payables or General Ledger to record the spend. If we decide to download to Payables, we could load the transactions at the individual supplier level (as zero dollar invoices so as not to "double-up" on liability), thereby allowing us to record the actual spend at the supplier level.
    Again, pros/cons to doing this? Guidance? Good idea/bad idea?, etc.
    Any responses are most welcome! Thank you!

    The Workflow Status monitor diagram is loaded using Applet that runs on JInitiator in E-Business Suite. There was an issue when loading the status monitor using SSL (HTTPS) and it was resolved and a patch is available on Metalink.
    Please enable Java Console and load the status monitor. This will give the complete log of loading status monitor. This could help identify what the issue is and search in Metalink for hits.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.

  • Generate Multiple Invoices in One PDF

    Hi,
    I have requirement whereby I need to generate multiple invoices in one PDF file. I am using Oracle BI Publisher with Oracle APEX 4.0.2
    If there is only one invoice that needs to be generated in one PDF file then I already have the solution whereby I print the APEX page item session state values on Invoice Header and get the invoice line items from a SQL Query in my RTF template.
    However how to the do the same when multiple invoice needs to be generated in one single PDF file ?
    Any pointers will highly appreciated.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Ashish

    However how to the do the same when multiple invoice needs to be generated in one single PDF file ?It should be pretty straight forward.
    Once you've got the query returning multiple rows, then just add a repeating group to your report (if an existing report, just select the section of the document that will repeat -> add-ins menu -> insert repeating group...; or right click selection -> BI Publisher -> Create group...), wherein the column values exist. You can even specify a page break at the end.
    By the way, this question is probably more suited for the {forum:id=245} forum.

  • How to generat multiple invoices based on per employee/contractor/services?

    Hello Experts / Dina,
    I am in situation where customer is in business of body shopping and charges to his final customer based on individual invoice / per employee /contracor & customer services. This was happening in legacy system but after the implementation of Oracle Project costing and Oracle Project billing, customer is not able to generate invoices per employee services. Rather consolidated invoices are getting generated.
    How to achieve this functionality in oracle project billing?
    Lets take example - On Project P1 for customer ABC, 3 below employees are working on different task for 3 months.
    Now after one month employees have been billed as shown below.
    Emp 1 - 1000 USD - for 100 Hrs
    Emp 2 - 2000 USD - for 200 Hrs
    Emp 3 - 1000 USD - for 50 hrs
    Now @ end of the month when invoice is getting generated is 1 invoice including 3 lines of amount total 4000 USD. There is problem; customer wants that there should be 3 different invoices per employee shoud generated based on above mentiond 3 diff lines for customer ABC.
    I guess with oracle projects billing - You can split the invoice based on Accrue through date ( which is not possible in this case ) and agreement ( which is also not possible in this case ) and different currency ( which is again not possible in this case) - I may be wrong when saying it is not possible. plz correct me if I am wrong.
    even I guess billing extension wont work. So is there any way to achive this?
    Right now only option i am thinking is let single invoice of 4000 USD with 3 different lines should pass to AR and while priniting the invoice customer can create 3 diff prints which includes individual lines. and while applying receipts on the single invoice in the system, customer can apply the receipts to indivual lines.
    but I am not sure about AUDIT issues.. Can some one think about any AUDIT issues comes to this approch or issues with TAX rounding amount issues ?
    Infact I would like to solve this issue with the help of Oracle Projects billing and not with custom invoice print program. I guess someone from you experts can figure it out to generate muiltple invoice based on employees / suppliers / contractors / materials etc.
    A suggestion on Extension / customization / seeded functionality of Oracle Project billing on thi issue would be gr8 help.
    Please help.
    Thanks

    Hi Dina,
    First of all thanks for your update :-) Your solution looks much promising.
    I thought of using billing extension but rejected on the ground that I would end up in generating events based on employee for their corsponding billig amounts so finally generating a consolidated invoice only in One GDI run. But what i was missing was pre-processing extension and running the extention in loop based on employee count.
    I am fully sure business would not have any issues of auto approving and releasing invoice upon generation. But my question is "is it possible to just approve the invoice & not release it using auto approve and release extension?" The reason is I think when GDI runs it only deletes Unapproved invoice & spare Approve invoices. - So please suggest.
    Also please validate my understanding about your solution with an existing example -
    As with the current example, there are 3 EMP presents so need to run GDI 3 times and develop pre-processing ext in a such a way that at each time it will put on hold on all the billable items except EMP1, and EMP2 and EMP3 on each consecutive run respectivly. And ensure that Auto Approve and release extension should be used in order to avoid overriding previously generated invoice? Am I right ?
    Many Many thanks for solution !!!
    Regards,
    :-)

  • Standard SAP program to generate email invoices ?

    Hello,
    Is there is any standard SAP SD program which can analyse the accounts recevables, and generate many invoices for many customers with a single run ? The program would then recognize the customer e-mail adress and send an e-mail with the invoice in attachment.
    I think that the SAP FSCM application can do that, but what about SD ?

    Hi,
    I am not sure whether this will really meets your requirement.
    But trying to suggest you with following way:
    could you just check the NACE->V3->MAIL option.
    Though this we can send the Invoice details through mail to respective Payee or Customer.
    And through VF31 we can send mail for multiple Invoices.
    Thank You,
