Account Payable - Scheduled Payments

Question

Hello All,
I am working in AP and need to identify any invoices that have a scheduled pay dates in the future. This must have to do with the AP_PAYMENT_SCHEDULES_ALL table. Metalink says almost nothig about these fields.
(1)
Is the "creation_date" the date that the payment is scheduled and is the "due_date" the date that the paymeny has been scheduled for? FUTURE_PAY_DUE_DATE looks to be null or not populated.
(2)
If I am looking for payments scheduled in the future I guess I would be looking for payments with a due_date > sysdate?
Please let me know if you have expertise here,
Thanks, Bradley

Answer 1

Due_date and FUTURE_PAY_DUE_DATE these are 2 field alltogether, nothing can be drived one the basis of these.
Take a note, Due_Date, is calculated by system , the moment you attach payment Term, as part of invoice creation. Where as FUTURE_PAY_DUE_DATE is field get populated once you are making a payment in advance date.
The very similar way, Paybale department give a cheque in the month of Jan 2008 with Cheque Date 8 Feb, means accural would be done in Feb Period month.
This is query which will potentailly bring all the records.
begin
apps.FND_CLIENT_INFO.SET_ORG_CONTEXT(121);
end;
SELECT aiv.vendor_name,
aiv.invoice_num,
aiv.invoice_amount,
aiv.payment_method_lookup_code,
aiv.payment_status_flag,
aiv.pay_group_lookup_code,
aiv.approval_status_lookup_code,
aiv.vendor_hold_flag,
apsa.due_date,
APSA.FUTURE_PAY_DUE_DATE,
apsa.hold_flag
FROM apps.ap_invoices_v aiv,
ap_payment_schedules_all apsa
WHERE aiv.payment_status_flag = 'N' -- CHECK FOR PAYMENT STATUS FLAG Y
AND aiv.holds_count = '0'
AND aiv.invoice_id = apsa.invoice_id
AND apsa.hold_flag = 'N'
AND aiv.approval_status_lookup_code = 'APPROVED'
AND aiv.vendor_hold_flag = 'N'
More over AP_PAYMENT_SCHEDULES_ALL does not make a sense to look for future payment field.
For Future dated you should take a link to
-accrual_posted_flag
-future_pay_posted_flag
of the table ap_invoice_payments_all
Does it helps
