The Payables and Receivables Netting feature enables the automatic netting of Payable
and Receivable transactions within a business enterprise. You can predefine a netting
agreement that incorporates the netting business rules and transaction criteria needed
to run your tailored netting process. The netting process automatically creates the
Payables payments and Receivables receipts required to clear a selected number of
Payables and Receivables transactions.
You can view the receipts that the Netting process creates by querying the netted
receipts in the Receipts workbench. To view additional details about the netting batch,
select AP/AR Netting from the Actions menu.
Note: You cannot update netted receipts in the Receipts workbench.

2. Implementation Considerations
This section identifies the new/changed setup steps for Oracle Netting that were introduced in
Release 12. For detailed step-by-step implementation instructions, please refer to one of the
Oracle Finanicials Implementation Guide, Oracle Financials User Guide or the Oracle
Applications Upgrade Guide.
1. New Setups
2.1 New Setup Steps
1. Netting Bank Account
2. Receivables System Options
3. Netting Batch Approver
4. Chargeable Subcontracting
5. Netting Agreement
2.1.1 Netting Bank Account
Set up a Bank Account in Oracle Cash Management which can be used by the Netting process.
Set the "Netting Account" flag to "Yes" for the bank account. Assign this bank account to the
seeded Receivables Receipt Class "AP/AR Netting".
2.1.2 Receivables System Options
Check the 'Allow payment of Unrelated Transactions' checkbox in Receivables System Options
if you want to create a netting agreement across multiple unrelated customers.
2.1.3 Netting Batch Approver
If approval is required for a netting agreement, the approver must be set up as a contact for the
trading partner (customer or supplier). The contact must be set up with an email address.
2.1.4 Profile: Chargeable Subcontracting Enabled
Setting the profile "Chargeable Subcontracting Enabled" to "Yes" would mean only invoices that
were matched to purchase orders with outsourced assemblies would be selected by the netting
process. If the profile option is set to "No", only invoices that were matched to purchase orders
without outsourced assemblies would be selected by the netting process. If the profile option is
set to "D", all eligible invoices will be selected for netting irrespective of whether or not they are
matched to purchase orders.
2.1.5 Netting Agreement
Netting agreements control how payables and receivables transactions are netted for a group of
trading partners. Create netting agreements to set up the rules that will decide which transactions
are selected for netting and how they are ordered and processed once selected.
3. Performance & Sizing: Considerations & Optimizations

3.1 Upgrade
Netting does not upgrade any transactional data. It upgrades only setup data which will not be of
high volume. Therefore no special consideration needs to be given for the table sizes during
upgrade.
4. Minimum Technical Requirements

The minimum technical requirements for Netting are included in the Release 12 Rapid Install.
5. Diagnostics
5.1 FND Logging
To check log messages added by the Netting processes, set the following profile options at user
level
FND: Debug Log Enabled – Yes
FND: Debug Log Level – Statement
FND: Debug Log Module –FUN%NET
Then execute query

SELECT *
FROM fnd_log_messages
WHERE module like 'FUN%NET%'
AND trunc(timestamp) = trunc(sysdate)
6. Technical Architecture Considerations

1. Netting Batch Status
2. Netting Batch Creation Process
3. Netting Batch Submission Process
4. Netting Batch Settlement Process
5. Customer Merge
6. Supplier Merge

6.2 Netting Batch Creation Process

Criteria used for selecting AP invoices
Dates
AP Payment schedule due date < = FUN_NET_BATCHES.transaction_due_date
AP Payment schedule due date between Agreement Start Date and Agreement End Date ( if
null ,Sysdate)
Only Invoices for supplier and supplier sites ( if specified) in the agreement are selected.
Only invoices with the selected invoice types in the agreement are included.
Operating Unit of the Invoices must equal Operating Unit of the batch
Invoices must be approved.
Invoices must not be on hold ( Payment schedule.hold_flag = ‘N’)
Invoices that have already been included in a batch that is not yet in status ‘COMPLETE’ are not
included.
Shikyu Processing :
Additional processing is done for Shikyu Invoices based on the Shikyu Rule setup in the
Netting Agreement.
Check Shikyu rule code on the Agreement
Y - "Yes" - Only invoices lines that were matched to PO lines with the OSA flag checked are
selected for Netting
N - "No" -Only invoices lines that were matched to PO lines with the OSA flag not checked
are selected for Netting
D - "Disregard"- All AP invoices selected for Netting; no filtering, therefore all eligible
invoices are selected, as if the profile is "Off"
Lock AP Invoices
Selected AP invoices are locked by populating AP_PAYMENT_SCHEDULES.checkrun_id
column for the
selected invoices.
The same checkrun_id value is populated in FUN_NET_BATCHES.CHECKRUN_ID for the
given batch.
Criteria used for selecting AR Transactions

Dates
AR Payment Schedule due date <= FUN_NET_BATCHES.transaction_due_date
AR Payment Schedule date should be between Agreement Start Date and end date ( if
null,Sysdate)
Transactions must be Complete.
Only transactions for customer and customer sites ( if specified) in the agreement are selected.
Only transactions with the selected transaction types in the agreement are included.
Operating Unit of the Transactions must be equal to the Operating Unit of the batch
Transactions that have already been included in a batch that is not yet in status ‘COMPLETE’
will not be included in the new batch.
The Receipt method associated with the transaction should not have a Payment_type_code =
‘CREDIT_CARD’
Transaction must not be in dispute.
Payment schedule status must be open (payment schedule.status = ‘OP’)
Transaction must not be a prepayment (ra_customer_trx.prepayment_flag = ‘N’)
Criteria for ordering the transactions

Invoices and transactions are first ordered by supplier and customer priority associated in the
agreement.They are then ordered by the Netting Order Rule selected in the agreement. The
priority is important as this decides which transaction / invoice will be netted first.
Netting Currency Rule

The Netting Currency Rule is checked to see if multiple batches need to be created.
If NET_CURRENCY_RULE_CODE = ‘SINGLE_CURRENCY’ then Invoices & transactions
are filtered based on Invoice/transaction currency code =
FUN_NET_AGREEMENTS.CURRENCY_CODE
If NET_CURRENCY_RULE_CODE = ‘WITHIN_CURRENCY’ then the invoices/transactions

are grouped based on their invoice/transaction currency code .
For every group of transactions a new batch is created.
The netting currency of the batch = invoice currency code of the grouped transactions.
IF NET_CURRENCY_CODE = ‘CONVERT_TO_ACCOUNTING’ then the open balance on

each transaction is converted to the the Accounting currency.
The netting currency of the batch = Accounting currency
Validate AP and AR Balances

For every batch that has been created.
AP balance is calculated as (sum of the OPEN_AMT in FUN_NET_AP_INVS_ALL for the
given batch)
AR balance is calculated as (sum of the OPEN_AMT in FUN_NET_AR_TXNS_ALL for the
given batch) .
When the Netting balance Rule = NET_PAYABLES ,

AP balance should be > the AR balance to continue the netting process. If not the current batch
status is set to ‘ERROR’.
If the AP balance or the AR balance <= 0 then the current batch is set to ‘ERROR’. If AP
balance < amount =" AP" amount =" AR">
6.3 Netting Batch Submission Process

The following validations are performed when a netting batch as submitted as there might be a
time lag between when the batch is created and when the batch is submitted. It is also possible
that the batch might have been modified.
If the current date has gone past the batch settlement date ( sysdate > settlement_date) then the
batch is set to status ‘SUSPENDED’ and the AP invoices are unlocked.
The AP and AR balances for the transactions are validated again. If the validation fails the batch
is set status ‘ERROR’and the AP invoices are unlocked.
If the batch has passed all validations, it is sent for approval if approval is required else the Settle
Netting Batch process is initiated.
6.4 Netting Batch Settlement Process

Validation
The process starts off with the validation of the AR transactions. This is necessary as the AR
transactions are not locked when the netting batch is created and therefore there is a possibility
that the AR transasction may be have been modified since it was included in the netting batch.
If any of the validations fail , then the batch is set to status ‘CANCELLED’.
Validations are also performed to check whether the GL, AP and AR periods are open for the
batch settlement date. If not the batch is set to status ‘ERROR’ and an error message is displayed
in the Report Log.
Derive Netting Bank Details

The netting bank details like bank account name, bank account owner and number derived based
on the FUN_AGREEMENTS.bank_account_id for the given batch.
Settle AP Invoices
Invoices in each batch are grouped by vendor , vendor site and invoice currency code. The AP
Payment APIs are called to process the payments. These API return the check id which is
updated in FUN_NET_AP_INVS_ALL.CHECK_ID.
Settle AR Transactions
AR Receipt APIs are called to create and apply the receipts. These APIs return the receipt id
which is updated in FUN_NET_AR_TXNS.RECEIPT_ID
If all the processing goes through successfully, the batch status is set to COMPLETE and the AP
invoices and netting agreements are unlocked.
6.5 Customer Merge
The TCA Account Merge process calls a netting API to propogate the customer merge updates to
the Netting tables.
If the merge results in duplicate accounts and /or account site uses for a netting agreement , then
the priority of these records is updated to the highest priority among the records.
All duplicate records for a given agreement are deleted except for one record.
6.6 Supplier Merge
The Payables Supplier Merge process calls a netting API to propagate the supplier merge updates
to the Netting tables.
If the merge results in duplicate supplier and /or supplier site for a netting agreement, then the
priority of these records is updated to the highest priority among the records.
All duplicate records for a given agreement are deleted except for one record
