Overview

Essential Information


Next Steps


Receivables Transactions

  1. Standard Receipts refers to receivables generated in OFC resulting in an Invoice for goods or services being issued to a customer.
  2. If an unclaimed payment request is tied to a standard receipt, less information is required from the department and the Receivables Transactions tab should be completed.
  3. A department must create an Invoice if the payment is for goods or services rendered.
  4. Standard receipts (receivables transactions):
    • Incoming payments for Oracle customer Invoices.
    • Must include Oracle Customer # and Invoice reference number.

Non-Receivables Transactions

  1. If payment is not related to receivables (non-invoice), for example retail operations day-to-day transactions or rebate, then complete the Miscellaneous tab.
  2. Miscellaneous receipts (non-receivables transactions):
    • Incoming payments for non-receivables.
    • Must include receivables activity or 12-segment chart string.
  3. If payment needs to be accounted for in an Oracle Project (PPM), then Project, Task, Funding Source, and Expenditure must be provided.
  4. Do NOT use 77***** Revenue accounts for Receivables invoices. KB0034474: How to use Accounts Under Internal Recharge (starting with 77) provides guidance on how to properly use 77***** Revenue accounts (not for Receivables transactions).
