Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document
Purpose of Document
3.
Release 12.1.1
3.1.1.1. Customer Dispute Enhancement
Collectors require the ability to record comments while researching transactions and
interacting with customers during the dispute process. A new Internal Comment field is
available on all screens used to submit and manage disputes. This field streamlines the
dispute submission and approval process by allowing collectors to enter and share
comments to internal users such as receivables specialists.
3.1.1.2. Customer Level Bankruptcy
During various stages of a customers bankruptcy process their outstanding business
transactions require specialized handling. In prior releases of Advance Collections,
individual transactions had to be marked with a Bankruptcy status. Collections agents
can now assign Bankruptcy status at the customer level, ensuring that all transactions in
all accounts and bill to sites are status and managed uniformly.
This feature has also been back-ported to 12.0 via the standalone patch:
8522751:R12.IEX.A.
3.1.1.3. Status Assignment at Case and Contract Level
Collectors can now better manage their leasing delinquencies by assigning delinquency
levels including the lease contract, the lease case, or specific transactions.
3.1.2.
Release 12.1.2
3.1.2.1. Multiple Level Collections Strategy Management
In prior releases, collections strategies could only be executed at one business (party,
account, bill to site) at a time. Enterprises require the ability to execute strategies
simultaneously at different levels for different customers and operating units, for
example, in one region - at Bill to level, in another region at Account level. This new
feature allows managers to setup and execute strategies at multiple collection business
levels while allowing collections agents to change specific customer strategies to
different business levels as required.
Collections managers are now able to plan and manage collections strategies that support
their unique business requirements where strategies must be executed at different
operating units, groups of customers or specific customers. Collections agents can view
strategies at different levels on their work queue and on the strategy tab. Delinquent
customers are managed at the business level most appropriate to their business model.
Additionally, background processes including collections and strategy management can
now be executed at different levels concurrently.
Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document
3.1.3.
Release 12.1.3
3.1.3.1. Staged Dunning

Dunning method ensures the dunning notices set to a customer automatically incremented
based on the collection score and pre-defined number of days between letters being sent.
3.1.4.
Release 12.2.3
3.1.4.1. Ability to place a hold on Collection Strategy
Collectors require the ability to place a collection strategy on hold or release it from a
hold depending on the customers delinquency status and the effectiveness of the strategy
used.
Collectors now have the ability to place and release holds on individual collection
strategies using the user interface or place/release collection strategy holds for individual
or all Operating Units using the Put Strategy on Hold/Release concurrent program.
3.1.5.
Release 12.2.4
3.1.5.1. Auto Reassignment of Work Items upon change in Collector
Simplify reassignment of collector work items due to workforce changes or territory
reassignment with the Auto Reassignment of Work Item upon change in Collector
feature.
Customers now have the ability to automatically reassign work items including
Collection Strategies and Promises to pay upon a change in collector by using the new
Synchronize Collector Work concurrent program.
This feature has also been back-ported to 12.1.3 via the standalone patch:
17043270:R12.IEX.B.
3.1.5.2. Metrics by Operating Unit
Improve your organizations insight on performance by comparing and quantifying
collectivity within and across a single or multiple Operating Units using the new Metrics
by Operating Unit option. This new option provides users the ability to view collection
metrics for a single or multiple operating units in addition to the current Global level.
This feature has also been back-ported to 12.1.3 via the standalone patch:
17043270:R12.IEX.B.
3.1.6.
Release 12.2.6
3.1.6.1. Collect on Related Accounts

Additionally, Strategy Templates and Work Item Templates can be defined for a specific
Operating Unit.
3.2.
Release 12.1.2
3.2.1.1. Purge Rejected Intercompany Batches from Interface Table
Oracle AGIS introduces a new Purge Rejected Intercompany Transactions Program to
purge rejected intercompany transaction batches from intercompany interface tables.
Oracle AGIS validates intercompany transaction batches imported from external source
applications. Batches that pass validation become intercompany transactions in AGIS.
Batches that fail validation are retained in the intercompany interface table with a
Rejected status. These rejected intercompany transactions occupy space in the database
and can lead to detrimental impact on system performance. Users can use the new
concurrent program to preview and purge the rejected intercompany transactions.

recording bank account details. This validation is based on standard Modulo-97 checks.

3.7.1.1. Capture of Energy Usage and Environmental Data
Oracle Environmental Accounting and Reporting (EA&R) integrates with Oracle
Accounts Payables and Oracle Inventory Management enabling customers to perform
environmental accounting for various transactions, enabling the capture of the energy
usage, fuel usage and other environmental data through AP invoices, Inventory issues,
Environmental Ledger and Web ADI. Using the usage information captured during
transactions or entered manually, EA&R calculates the related greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions through the application of energy and emission factors. This approach presents
users with a familiar and consistent experience maintaining data integrity and security
with a single source of truth and ensuring data completeness and accuracy. Integration
Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document
with the native ERP system reduces environmental data management costs, leveraging
existing IT systems, minimizing organizational impacts and assuring rapid time to value.
3.7.1.2. Emission Sources, Scopes and Factors
An emission factor is the quantity of a greenhouse gas emitted per unit of energy (kg
CO2-e /GJ), fuel (kg CO2-e/t coal) or a similar measure. The EA&R application provides
the ability to define, change and update emission sources and factors, automatically
determining the correct transformation factors for each transaction. It also enables users
to select location specific energy and emission factors for environmental accounting of
transactions that are related to emission sources. It also enables setup of custom emission
factors. Emission transformation factors are stored and can readily be updated over time
with date effectiveness to manage the change of emissions factors and for recalculation
purposes.
Emission calculation techniques range from usage of emission factors to direct
monitoring. The most common techniques used for emission calculation are:
Oracle Environmental Accounting and Reporting allows you to update historical factors
using the GHG Sources window and provides the Recalculate Emissions concurrent
program to recalculate the emission and energy values based on the revised factors.
The solution enables complete audit trail for entries and updates reducing data assurance
costs.
3.7.1.3. Calculation and Classification of Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Oracle Environmental Accounting and Reporting provides the built-in mechanisms for
calculating emissions and classifying them as Scope 1, 2, or 3 using the Greenhouse Gas
Protocol guidelines published by the World Resources Institute. The Emissions
Calculation Engine uses the collected usage data to calculate the relevant emissions using
seeded formulas based on the energy and emission factors setup for the emission sources.
This enables organization to accurately communicate greenhouse gas emissions and other
environmental impacts to constituents including regulators, customers, shareholders and
employees.
3.7.1.4. Environmental Ledger
The Environmental Ledger stores all changes to the environmental transactions including
voiding, reversal, recalculation, and measurement criterion updating transactions. The
changing landscape of compliance mandates drives companies to provide more
comprehensive, transparent, accurate and auditable data. Oracle Environmental
Accounting and Reporting allows you to have a single source of truth assuring data
quality and auditability.
3.7.1.5. Flexible Reporting and Organizational Structures
Oracle Environmental Accounting and Reporting enables the creation of Environmental
Organizations. An organization is defined as a single undertaking or an enterprise or any
Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document
entity that performs activities or a series of activities that emit greenhouse gases and/or
produces, or consumes energy at a single site and is attributable to a single industry
sector. An organization can have multiple hierarchies for reporting, for example,
government reporting hierarchy, operational hierarchy, or legal structure hierarchy. In
addition an organization can be a division, company subsidiary, or operation (i.e.
facilities, plants). The integration with the native ERP enables leveraging existing
structures as well as specifying additional hierarchies for GHG Protocol and other
reporting guidelines, including the ability to define aggregation levels and to manage
acquisitions and divestitures.
3.7.1.6. Pre-Built Analytics and Dashboard with Dynamic User Interaction
Pre-built Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE) dashboards enable the
dynamic generation of reports providing insight into an organizations emissions and
other environmental impacts. The dashboards provide information on energy usage,
emissions, key performance indicators (KPIs), activities and transactions. Users can view
graphical representations of the data; drill down into output of past, current, and projected
data; analyze historical trends; define variance thresholds and receive alerts; and publish
and distribute reports in multiple formats. The pre-built OBIEE reporting and analytics
dashboards also include the quantitative responses to the Carbon Disclosure Project
(CDP). OBIEEs powerful and flexible framework allows for the quick creation of
reports for reporting schemes such as Climate Registry (USA), EPA 40 CFR Part 98 Rule
(USA), Carbon Reduction Commitment (UK), and National Greenhouse and Energy
Reporting Act (Australia). Measuring performance and setting targets allows
organizations to become more productive, profitable and sustainable by providing
powerful insights into high opportunity areas for emissions reductions, energy savings,
and cost savings. In addition, OBIEE allows users to quickly create custom user defined
reports.
3.7.1.7. User-Defined Key Performance Indicators
Oracle Environmental Accounting and Reporting enables organizations to create and
modify standard and custom industry-specific key performance indicators (KPIs) to
measure performance and monitor key environmental metrics such as energy, waste, and
water. Users can normalize data to operational metrics and use a drag-and-drop
environment in OBIEE to create custom reports. Examples of these KPIs are energy
usage per square foot, water usage by employee, etc. Using these metrics organizations
can benchmark and affect behavioral change to reduce environmental impacts in the
relative context of the organizations growth.
3.7.1.8. Target and Threshold Definition
Oracle Environmental Accounting and Reporting enables organizations to establish a
baseline of its greenhouse gas emissions, energy usage, and other key environmental
indicators and set reductions targets. Graphical indicators on the Business Intelligence
dashboards illustrate to users on a timely basis whether the organization is performing
above, below, or in-line with the targets so that corrective actions can be taken as needed
to successfully execute on the organizations sustainability initiatives.
3.7.1.9. Using WebADI to Import Setup Data
Users are able to leverage the Web ADI framework in Oracle E-Business Suite to import
setup data into the Environmental Accounting & Reporting application. Data that can be
imported using this interface includes Sources, KPI Definitions, Targets, and
Organizations.

One of the pre-built OBIEE reporting and analytics dashboards supported in EA&R
covers the quantitative responses to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). The Carbon
Disclosure Project report has been enhanced to support additional questions under the
2011 guidelines. The dashboard can now display: emissions in metric tons, emission
factors applied for GHG calculations and their origin; breakdown of Scope 1 and Scope 2
emissions by activity; amount of fuel, electricity, heat, steam, and cooling in MWh
consumed by an organization during the reporting year; breakdown of fuel usage by fuel
type; year by year comparison of combined Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions; year by year
comparison of Scope 3 emissions by source; and gross combined Scope 1 and 2
emissions for the reporting year in metric tons CO2e per full time equivalent (FTE)
employee.
3.7.2.2. Enhanced Performance Dashboards
Pre-built Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE) dashboards enable the
dynamic generation of reports providing insight into an organizations emissions and
other environmental impacts. The dashboards provide information on energy usage,
emissions, key performance indicators (KPIs), activities and transactions. Users can view
graphical representations of the data; drill down into output of past, current, and projected
data; analyze historical trends; define variance thresholds and receive alerts; and publish
and distribute reports in multiple formats. In this release additional pre-built reports have
been added including the Scope 3 Emissions and Emissions by Organization Level
dashboards.
3.7.2.3. Enhanced Key Performance Indicators
Oracle Environmental Accounting and Reporting enables organizations to create and
modify standard and custom industry-specific key performance indicators (KPIs) to
measure performance and monitor key environmental metrics such as energy, waste, and
water. Users can normalize data to operational metrics and use a drag-and-drop
environment in OBIEE to create custom reports. In the 12.2 release it is now possible to
set a threshold in the KPI Metrics history page highlighting to users whether the
organization is performing above, below or in-line with the targets so that corrective
actions can be taken as needed to successfully execute on the organizations sustainability
initiatives.
3.7.3.
Release 12.2.3
3.7.3.1. Water and Waste Dashboards
EA&R is being enhanced to provide a new set of out-of-the-box dashboards to
accommodate new requirements for reporting based on legislation and competitive
pressure. These new requirements include the addition of a Water and Waste Dashboard
reports including Water Consumption, Water Recycled/Reused by Period, and Total
Solid Waste produced by period, Solid Waste Recovered and Recycled by Period, Solid
Waste to Landfill by Period.
3.7.3.2. Carbon Permit Management
Emissions trading or cap-and-trade is a market-based approach used to control pollution
by providing economic incentives for achieving reductions in the emissions of pollutants.
Governments set a limit or cap on the amount of a pollutant that may be emitted. The
limit or cap is allocated or sold to firms in the form of emissions permits which represent
the right to emit or discharge a specific volume of the specified pollutant. Firms are
Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document
11
required to hold a number of permits (or carbon credits) equivalent to their emissions.
Typically, in carbon tax and emission trading schemes, significant penalties apply for not
surrendering the correct amount of permits by the compliance date. Companies need to
establish processes to actively manage trading of permits, such as funding purchases
when needed and understanding which permits can be used to meet their liabilities.
Oracle Environmental Accounting and Reporting (EA&R) helps these companies
calculate the correct number of carbon permits required for the specified reporting period.
The new Carbon Permit Management report tracks emission data by region / legislation
to show the number of carbon permits which must be surrendered to be complaint.
3.7.4.
Release 12.2.4
3.7.4.1. Integration with Oracle Property Manager
This release provides a new integration which brings the organizational hierarchy defined
in Oracle Property Manager into Oracle Environmental Accounting & Reporting. Data
entities for Region, Property, Building, Floor, and Office are imported from Oracle
Property Manager along with their implicit hierarchy to create a new default hierarchy in
the Environmental Accounting & Reporting module. This hierarchy is called the GHG
Property Manager Organization Hierarchy and has six levels, namely:
Level Number
Entity Type
Company Name
Region
Property
Building
Floor
Office
The information brought across from Property Manager for these entities includes any
associated tenure, disposition, area, and headcount data and are displayed in the Property
Details tab for each Environmental Organization. These property details are
synchronized over time to capture any ongoing changes that are made in Property
Manager.
A new setup feature called 'Property Types' maintains a mapping between the Property
Types in Property Manager and the Organization Types maintained in Environmental
Accounting & Reporting.
For organizations that do not use Oracle Property Manager the property details can be
entered directly in Environmental Accounting & Reporting for each Environmental
Organization.
3.7.4.2. Source and Item Unit of Measure Conversion
This feature enables users to set up an additional unit of measure conversion specific to
an Environmental Source or Item. For example:
Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document
12
In most cases purchased electricity does not have an associated Item in the source
transactions (i.e. electricity is purchased in kWh) but there may be some cases
where electricity is purchased based on the use of an Item (e.g. the number of
gallons of diesel oil required to power a generator) requiring an additional
conversion.
This release enables the users to setup conversions specific to either Environmental
Sources or Items to address scenarios such as the ones described above. This UOM
conversion capability is above and beyond the standard unit of measure conversion
previously supported by the application.
The Source UOM conversion assumes higher precedence over the standard UOM
conversion in selecting the conversion factors at the time of emission calculation. For
conversions where there is a related Item the source UOM conversion assumes the higher
precedence over both the standard and Item UOM conversion when the emissions are
calculated.
3.7.4.3. Organizations Targets for Emission, Energy and Usage
Users now have the ability to set performance targets at the organizational level for
Energy, Emissions, and Usage for specific periods thus enabling organizations to drive
performance improvements on an ongoing basis. A new dashboard enables ongoing
visual comparison of the actual performance of the organization versus the targets that
have been set.
3.7.4.4. Enhanced Energy Dashboard
The existing energy dashboard has been enhanced to include four additional tabs,
namely: Summary, Energy by Scope, Energy by Source, and Energy by Organization
Type. The existing tab has been renamed to Energy by Organization.
The Summary tab now displays two reports: (i) Energy History displaying a graphical
representation of the history of the energy consumed by the organization and (ii) Energy
by Year showing the energy consumed by an organization for a specific period.
The Energy by Scope dashboard displays a graphical representation of the energy usage
of an organization by Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 as per the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.
The Energy by Source page displays a graphical and tabular representation of the energy
consumed by the organization for each of the environmental sources.
The Energy by Organization Type dashboard presents reports showing the energy usage
broken down by the organizational levels based on the Organization Type.

period reverse the manual journal entry and resolve the accounting exceptions.
3.23.3.2. Automate Auto Lockbox Processing
Companies using the Lockbox service receive the data file containing receipt information
from the banks at frequent intervals for each bank account that receives payments. These
files are processed by the Auto Lockbox programs to import, validate, create and apply
receipts. Until now the lockbox processing programs had to be launched manually from
the UI for each data file. Receivables now allows these programs to be submitted as
standard concurrent requests using the standard Submit Request form.
To further improve productivity, a custom program can be created that scans for the
incoming files at regular intervals. When a file is received it can automatically submit the
Auto Lockbox programs to process the file.
3.23.3.3. Assign Customers to Unidentified Receipts using API
Receivables departments need to efficiently manage the cash application process to
reduce the manual efforts and at the same time improve the customer satisfaction. Timely
and accurate application of the unidentified customer cash receipts to the invoices paid is
important to provide a true picture of the customer account and the transaction status and
helps in improving customer satisfaction. An API is now available that can be used to
assign customers to the unidentified receipts.

Release 12.1.1
4.1.1.1. New Lease Statuses
Two new statuses have been introduced for leases. The new statuses are Lease Ordered
and Signed. These statuses are available when the lease approval status is Draft.
When a lease has a status of Lease Ordered or Signed, schedules and items are created for
any one-time payments. This allows users to create invoices or make payments from the
lease, for terms with frequency of one-time only, before the lease is finalized. Users can
use this new functionality for deposits or other payments that may be required before a
lease is finalized.
4.1.1.2. Lease Extension Enhancements
When the status is changed to Month-to-Month or Holdover and an extension date
entered, the following things will now be done automatically:
Recurring payment terms that end on the lease termination date will be extended
to the new extension date.
Users can choose to have variable rent and rent increase agreements extended.
This is described further in the sections on Variable Rent and Rent Increase
enhancements.
Extensions of terms and agreements can be rolled forward month by month using
a new concurrent process.
The system extends existing normalized payment terms differently depending on
the lease status. If the user changes the status from Active to Month-to-Month or
Holdover, the system extends a normalized payment term ending on the old lease
termination or extension date by adding a new non-normalized term rather than
by changing the end date of the existing term. If the lease is later placed back in
Active status, the term will be extended by addition of a new normalized term
beginning on the amendment commencement date.

True Up. The system calculates variable rent periodically through the year with a
non-cumulative method and then does a True Up calculation at the end of the
year (or other appropriate period).
Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document
71
First Year. A partial first year variable rent is calculated based on the first 12
months of sales, effectively using some sales from the second year as proxy for
the missing months in the first year. The resulting rent is prorated based on the
actual length of the first partial year.
Last Year. This is the equivalent of the First Year method, applied to partial last
years.
First Year / Last Year. If this Partial Year Method is selected, both the First Year
and Last Year methods will be applied.
Combined Year with Breakpoint Proration. The first partial year is combined
with the second year. For cumulative and year-to-date methods, breakpoints and
volumes continue to accumulate for more than 12 months. The breakpoints are
effectively annualized because the period of breakpoint accumulation matches
the period of volume accumulation.
Combined Year without Breakpoint Proration. The first partial year is combined
with the second year. A blended annual breakpoint is calculated for the
combined period, converted to a 12-month value. This is used as the basis for
breakpoints for all methods. Since the combined year is longer than 12 months,
and the sales are accumulated for that longer period, the breakpoint accumulation
is not matched to the volume accumulation and the breakpoint is not, in effect,
annualized.
No Proration. The breakpoints are used as entered, without proration. There is
no interaction or combination between values in the first partial year and the
second year.
72
A number of multi-row views have been converted to folder blocks to allow for
user configuration.
Drilldowns have been added between the invoice review screen and the line item
review screen.
Multi-row views have been combined on a single screen with a master-detail
relationship to reduce the number of screens and present information in a more
intuitive layout.
