The integrated Financial Consolidation and Close skill can be used in Oracle Web channel or Microsoft Teams.

Web Services

Collections Strategy Change Using a REST API

Change collections strategies assigned to customers using the Collections Strategies REST API.

Customer Dispute Submission for Transaction Header Sections Using a REST API

Submit customer disputes for any part of a transaction using the Receivables Dispute REST API. Specify the sections of the transaction to dispute: total percentage; lines subtotal; freight; tax. Add related comments about the dispute. The REST API also initiates the delivery of dispute confirmation to the customer after the credit memo approval workflow is approved.

Enhancements to Receivables Transaction Interface Lines REST API

Review and update interface line attributes using the Receivables Transaction Interface Lines REST API.

Unpaid Reason Code Update Using a REST API

Update the unpaid reason code on collections delinquencies using the Collections Delinquencies REST API.

Workflow

Simplified Workflow Rules Configuration

Use the Simplified Workflow Rules Configuration feature to create workflow rules using spreadsheets for Payables Invoice Approval and General Ledger Journal Approval workflows. Download the templates using the Manage Workflow Rules in Spreadsheet task to create and manage workflow rules according to your approval policies.

This feature was introduced in update 18C. In update 22A, you can define rules to send FYI notifications to members of a Supervisory or Job Level hierarchy.

Self Service Financials

Expenses

Access to Digest Notification for Expense Delegates

Send expense digest notifications to delegates to allow them to fix expense items requiring expense owner attention.

Display of Fields by Expense Type in Oracle Expenses Mobile Application

Simplify expense entry in the Expenses mobile application by only enabling the applicable fields for each expense type. The Description, Merchant, Expense Location, and Number of Days fields are exposed based on the field behavior defined for expense type and the template.

Receipt Attachment After Expense Report Approval

Allow employees to attach receipts and supporting documents to an approved expense report, even after expenses are paid. This helps employees comply with government regulations about providing adequate proof of employee expenses.
