Invoice status from AP

ID

A unique sequential ID is issued to each messages sent.

Message types

The messages fall into the following categories:

VIA HOLD AREA

If a supplier (payee) is self-bill then the payment instructions from RCS go straight into Oracle Payables.

For non-self-bill suppliers their payments must be supported by a supplier invoice, and so the payment instruction is sent to a holding area in Oracle Payables before the instruction can reach the main Oracle Payables.

This message type tells RCS whether the payment went into the Hold Area

HOLD AREA STATUS

This message type advises RCS about changes to the status of a payment instruction in the Hold Area.

For hold area payments these statuses are possible

CL - Cleared

IR - Invoice Requested

SN - Supplier Notified

RFI DETAILS –

These messages advise RCS when a "Request for invoice" (RFI) has been sent to the contributor.

If AP has issued an RFI to the supplier the RFI number, date, and how it was delivered are shown.

CANCEL REJECT

This message type tells RCS when a payment instruction has been cancelled in Oracle, or if it has been rejected (whereby a correction is needed in RCS prior to it being resent.)

All these messages are passed to RCS over a database link, and are listed in this screen, so that the correspoding action can be taken in RCS.

In the case of Rejections the payment instruction is put into the Interface error queue as further action is required.

INVOICE PAID

Once the invoice has been paid the amount paid currency are sent to RCS in these messages.

the data provided through these messages is used to display the status of payments throughout RCS and SLM.
