Business Scenarios:

• Sponsored Projects should have miscellaneous receipts posted as a credit to expense or applied towards an invoice.
• This report displays the PPM accounting to reconcile and identify mismatches between the two modules.
  • Clicking on the Original Transaction Reference link will bring you to the receipt in Oracle with the Chart String number.
• Sponsored project receipts should most often be posted and applied to an invoice, not as a credit to expense.
• This report highlights any credits to expense as a potential receipt that may need to be applied to an invoice.
• Credits to expense are posted as a receipt and a negative project cost, use this report to ensure the accounting is in sync and appropriate.

• After identifying a mis-posted miscellaneous receipt end users should complete and submit the Subledger Transaction Correction Form (select Receivables and Cash Management from the dropdown menu)

Report View:

Business Scenarios

This report displays Credit Memo details from Oracle Financials Cloud (OFC), created by Concur Expense Reports with a net amount owed by the employee as a result of Personal/Non-Reimbursable Card Charges, Cash Advance Returns or Travel Card Per Diem Offset.

Notes:

• A Credit Memo is generated if two conditions are met: (1) the Concur expense report must be approved and have the final status of “Sent for Payment”, and (2) the “Total Owed by Employee” amount is greater than $0.00 from the Concur expense report, as displayed in Report Totals under Report Details.
• Concur will automatically net any reimbursements owed to the employee within the same expense report with an amount greater than that of any Personal/Non-Reimbursable Card Charges, Cash Advance Returns or Travel Card Per Diem Offset, and pay the employee the difference. In this instance, the Total Owed by Employee would be $0.00 and a Credit Memo would not be generated.
• OFC will automatically net reimbursements from separate invoices/expense reports where the amount of one or more of the invoices/expense reports is greater than the uncleared Credit Memo. This will result in paying the difference between those transactions.  In this instance, a Credit Memo will automatically be cleared and the employee will not need to deposit a check.
• OFC will not net reimbursements from separate invoices/expense reports where the total amount of the invoices/expense reports is less than the uncleared Credit Memo. The sum total of the invoices must be greater than the Credit Memo in order for OFC to offset the transactions.
• Credit Memos created as a result of Cash Advance Returns are listed under Financial Unit 5000051. Run this Financial Unit to identify individuals who have outstanding Cash Advance Returns. An enhancement request has been submitted to change the Financial Unit code.
• Note that an alternative solution is being explored to improve this process in the long term.

• Do not submit a check if there is another expense report where the employee is owed funds greater than the Credit Memo amount (without the negative sign). OFC will automatically net the reimbursement with the Credit Memo and pay the employee the difference.
