R12 - Overview of Payables Processes

We use Oracle Payables for five major business functions:

•         Supplier entry

•         Invoice import/entry

•         Invoice validation

•         Invoice payment

•         Invoice and payment accounting

To enter and pay invoices, first enter suppliers and supplier sites.  Payables processes many different invoice types including standard invoices, credit memos, debit memos and expense reports.  After invoices are entered and validated, they can be paid. 

After invoices are validated or paid, subledger accounting entries are generated in Subledger Accounting and those entries are transferred to General Ledger.
