Does Oracle E-Biz 11i support intercompany Invoice with a negative line?

Question

We are using Oracle E-Biz GL/AP/AR/FA (Oracle E-Biz 11.5.2.10). Now we are facing this issue: When we create an intercompany Invoice with a negative line it does not generate proper inter-company entries.
For eg:
Invoice Amount 1000 for company1
Distribution:
Company2.account.company1 : 300
Company3.account.company1 : 300
Company4.account.company1 : 500
Company5.account.company1 : -100
when transfer to GL process is done following entries are generated.
Company1.Liab account.company1 Credit 1000
Company2.Exp account.company1 Debit 300
Company3.Exp account.company1 Debit 300
Company4.Exp account.company1 Debit 500
Company5.Exp account.company1 Credit 100
on posting following Intercompany transactions are generated.
Company2.Interco Payable account.000 Cr 300
Company3.Interco Payable account.000 Cr 300
Company4.Interco Payable account.000 Cr 500
Company5.Interco Recievable account.000 Dr 100
Company1.Interco Recievable account.000 Dr 1000
where as the correct entry should be :
Company2.Interco Payable account.company1 Cr 300
Company3.Interco Payable account.company1 Cr 300
Company4.Interco Payable account.company1 Cr 500
Company1.Interco Payable account.company5 Cr 100
Company5.Interco Recievable account.company1 Dr 100
Company1.Interco Recievable account.company2 Dr 300
Company1.Interco Recievable account.company3 Dr 300
Company1.Interco Recievable account.company4 Dr 500
Have you faced this kind of issue? Does Oracle support intercompany Invoice with a negative line (credit)? If 11i doesn't support this feature, does Oracle E-Biz 12 support this feature?
Your insights will be very helpful.

Hi,
Now we are trying to convert the 11g-Database UTF-8 characterset to AL32UTF8 characterset.Why do you need to change the database characterset?
As per metalink Notes, there is no very clear steps on how to deal with Apps Environment after DB characterset change using CSALTER.Did you go through these documents?
Note: 788156.1 - AL32UTF8 / UTF8 (Unicode) Database Character Set Implications
Note: 260192.1 - Changing the NLS_CHARACTERSET to AL32UTF8 / UTF8 (Unicode)
Note: 124721.1 - Migrating an Applications Installation to a New Character Set
Note: 225912.1 - Changing the Database Character Set ( NLS_CHARACTERSET )
1) After DB characterset change, do we have to run Autoconfig, after editing the DB XML file to reflect new characterset value.Yes.
2) Does the same apply to Application CONTEXT file also for APPL_TOP, etcAre you also changing the application tier characterset? However, I would say you will have to run AutoConfig in both cases.
3) when shud we run adadmin- filesystem cahracterset conversion. Before or after autoconfig.Run the "Convert character set" via adadmin, then run AutoConfig -- See "Oracle® Applications Maintenance Utilities" manual for details.
Also i am facing issues in connecting to sqlplus from applmgr user after the DB characterset change.
It just core-dumps.Did you implement all the steps mentioned in the documents? What is the complete error message? What does "echo $NLS_LANG" return as oracle and applmgr users?
