Pay On Receipt ( ERS )

Pay on Receipt, also known as ERS (Evaluated Receipt Settlement), or Self-Billing, is an Oracle
Purchasing concurrent program, which automatically creates invoices in Payables and matches
them
with
Purchase
Orders
for
the
received
amount.
How

Does

It

work?

When Pay on Receipt Auto invoice (PRA) is ran, it in turn launches Payables Open Interface
Import
program
(PII).
PRA updates invoice_status_code of rcv_transactions (Receipt - Receiving) to INVOICED, then
populates records in ap_invoices_interface and ap_invoice_lines_interface. Then the interface
data
is
committed
and
PII
is
invoked
to
create
the
invoices.
If PII program errors out for some reason during the validation of AP interface data then the
records stay in interface tables with REJECTED status and the associated error information will
be
stored
in
AP_INTERAFACE_REJECTIONS
table.
PRA sets invoice_status_code of rcv_transactions, for transaction_type RECEIVE, to
INVOICED for both successfully imported invoices and for invoices rejected by PII.
If Pay on Receipt AutoInvoice is ran again later then it will pick only those records which have
invoice_status_code as 'PENDING. It will not pick/process the records which have
invoice_status_code
=
INVOICED.
Before this, at the time receiving transactions ( Receipt ), system checks for the value of the
vendor site's Pay On Code. If Pay On Code is set to Receipt (Pay On = Receipt), then
invoice_status_code is inserted into rcv_transactions as PENDING, otherwise it will be
inserted as null. PRA Program will process the receiving transactions with invoice_status_code
as 'Pending' only and updates the status to 'Invoiced'.
