    Hi

    Can you give me a standard solution to refund Customer Advance.

    The solution that I am following is:
    I have defined a Party as a Supplier as well as Customer.
    I am finding the Deposit balance (Eg. 1000 USD) as of a particular date. I need to refund this 1000 USD.
    Then I am creating a dummy AR Invoice for (1000 USD) and closing the Deposit.
    Then I am creating a Standard Invoice in AP for 1000 USD.
    Finally making the payment for 1000 USD as refund.

    Is this the standard solution or is there any other solution. Pls advise.

    We got something similar process. For ex: customer has paid advance cash against some sales. Later Ordger gets returned and Credit Note gets created but the customer wants the money back ( or may be Order itself gets cancelled). We are creating AR Debit Memo which gets applied with Cash receipt received as Advance. Then AP invoice is created to pay the refund money to the customer.

  3. Manohar Mishra Says:

    But I too has got the same clarification. Is this the only way to refund ?

    use AP-AR netting

    which is called Contra in Release 11i

    Offsetting is taking care by seeded funcationlity.

  6. Sanjit Anand Says:

    If your customer is requesting a refund for goods returned, follow these procedures to clear the credit entry from Accounts Receivable and process a
    refund through Accounts Payable. This is a manual process between AR and AP.

    A. Create a credit memo in AR for the returned goods. Use the same Revenue and Receivable accounts referenced on the original invoice. Here are the entries to be made:

    Receivable Revenue
    ————— ————-
    | 100 100 |

    B. Create a debit memo to offset the credit memo. Use a special Debit Memo
    transaction type that uses a clearing account rather than Revenue. This
    will cause the following general ledger entries to be made:

    Receivable Clearing
    ————— ————-
    100 | | 100

    C. In Oracle Accounts Payable, process a check crediting $100 to cash and
    debiting the clearing account for $100 as below. This returns the cash and
    all other accounts to zero.

    Receivable Clearing
    ————— ————-
    | 100 100 |

    Hi Anand

    THe diagramatic representation of Oracle AR integration with OPM gives a good insight into the process and thanks for the same. Howsoever much the link between Sales orders and the data import into Oracle AR using Auto invoice requires more inputs.

    Thanks & Regards
    Ramg
