Overview

When submitting a shopping cart to become a requisition in Oracle Procurement, the Billing section determines to which Project and/or Chart String your purchase will be charged. This article describes how to complete the billing section during checkout in Oracle Procurement

Critical Concepts

---

• Review our Checkout Billing Guide for a brief overview of how to populate the billing section
• If you are using a Chart String that does not have an associated Project, then only the Charge Account field needs to be populated
• If you are using a Project (POET) then you do not need to populate the Charge Account field. Populating the Project field will automatically pull in the Chart String defaulted on that Project
• If you are using a Project but do not populate the POET information (Project, Task, Expenditure Type, and Expenditure Organization fields), then neither the PO nor any associated invoices will show on the PPM ledger
