3. Intercompany Invoicing
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
More and more companies are doing business globally, and taking advantage of the operations and tax benefits
that can be achieved by running operations throughout the world. These companies have multiple operating
units and organizations around the world. When goods are shipped or received, the financial ownership
through these organizations does not necessarily follow the physical movement of goods. Oracle Applications
support three main logistics needs of global organizations – Central Distribution, Central Procurement and
Drop Ship. This whitepaper details the intercompany transactions from an accounting perspective in Oracle
Applications as in 11.5.10.
INTRODUCTION
A corporation manages its global operations in various countries through a network of subsidiaries, separate
legal entities, licensees and several associated label franchisee. This complex network of operations is
necessitated to take care of local legal and fiscal environment, which prevail in each of those countries.
Following are few examples:
• In tele-communications industry, most of the countries stipulate mandatory domestic company partnership.
• Most of the steel and aluminum companies in Asia sell their entire output to another marketing company.
• Automobile industries are increasingly centralizing their sourcing activities globally to leverage their
combined volumes for a better price from their suppliers.
• Trading companies are setup in tax haven nations to take advantage of bilateral and multi-lateral trade
agreements to minimize the tax.
Consider the following two examples:
Example 1
Vision Operations (V1) is based in USA. It has a 100 % owned subsidiary company called Vision Asia (VA).
VA in turn has two subsidiaries – Vision Japan (VJ) and Vision China (VC). VJ has manufacturing facilities in
Osaka (O1) and distribution center at Tokyo (T1). Due to tax advantages, V1 sources all the goods from china
through VJ. Though the financial transactions between V1 and VC are routed through VJ, logistic movement
of goods takes place directly between V1 and VC.
Example 2
Continuing the above example, Vision Operations (V1) has another subsidiary company called Vision
Singapore (VS), 100 % that it owns. Individual plants procure components from their own suppliers. VS
centralizes all the commodity (like steel, Aluminum etc.,) procurement needs of Vision Operations across

world and procures the material on behalf of all VJ and its subsidiary plants and places purchase orders on its
suppliers. However, material is directly shipped from the suppliers to all the manufacturing plants.
Figure 1 - Organization Hierarchy Model
A key requirement for the global implementation of Oracle applications in such a complex business
environment is the ability to process "intercompany transactions," where one business unit invoices another for
transfer of goods and services. Often these intercompany transactions involve transactions related to general
expenses, funds transfer, salary transfers, asset transfers, royalty payments and product transfers. This paper
discusses only those intercompany transactions that are related to product transfers such as sales of goods and
internal procurement.
This paper provides setup steps, implementation tips, and guidance for coordinating the many departments,
which become involved with intercompany invoicing. We would be discussing implementation of
intercompany invoicing for the fictitious organization as depicted in Figure 1.
INTERCOMPANY TRANSACTIONS
This section briefly states the remaining business flows and their corresponding accounting transactions that are
possible in 11.5.10.
For each business flow,
1. The physical movement of goods and the corresponding financial flow is shown.
2. The accounting entries are then tabulated as below:
Time Transaction Description OU1 Accounting OU2 Accounting
Time indicates the sequence of events happening. Transaction indicates the physical event. Logical transactions are
in italics. Description gives the underlying transactions - physical/logical that are created. These drive accounting
entries. The next columns indicate the accounting entries for each operating unit. The process that would do the
accounting entries is also indicated – Cost processor, Inter-Company Invoicing, Receiving processor.
Box indicates that Transaction gets cost collected if organization is PJM enabled
5. Intercompany Transactions 5
Flows 1, 1A, 2, 2A and 3 are for asset items. Hence inventory accounts are used. Instead if they are expense
items, expense account will be used.
3. The reconciliation of accounting entries in previous table are tabulated as below:
OU1 Reconciliation OU2 Reconciliation
4. A return flow is done repeating steps 1, 2 and 3.

NOTE:
• If logical receipt is made in DC then the same accounting entries/transactions as in Flow 2 (in pages to come) will be generated.
• There is no cost re-average or PPV at the time of deliver or I/C transfer. This is because there was no physical receipt of goods

NOTE:
• RMA receipts are always physical receipts, with transaction cost as the item’s current cost
• There is no re-average or PPV at the time of RMA receipt
• Since current cost might have changed, the I/C COGS reversal may not completely nullify the expense that was originally incurred. This
however, is a limitation in the current architecture for Sales Order Shipments and will not be addressed in the context of this project
• However, to help customers, a cost hook will be provided for the RMA receipt transaction (NICE TO HAVE)

NOTE:
• The physical PO receipt transaction in DC will be used to re-average the inventory cost, or reflect PPV, as appropriate
• The PO receipt maybe at the Purchase Order price or the Transfer Price, based on the pricing option setup in the transaction flow.
• This transaction however, is not accounted for, or cost collected. The transaction is costed, when the associated accounting transactions have
distributions.

• The RTV transaction will reverse accruals at the PO price. However, I/C accounting may not be completely reversed, since transfer price
could have changed in the interim
• The user will need to post manual journal entries as appropriate to remove I/C profits while consolidating at the enterprise level

NOTE:
• RMA receipt is a physical receipt at the item’s current cost. Hence I/C COGS may not be completely reversed
• The RTV transaction will reverse accruals at the PO price. However, I/C accounting may not be completely reversed, since transfer price
could have changed in the interim
• The user will need to post manual journal entries as appropriate to remove I/C profits while consolidating at the enterprise level

NOTE:
• The destination type on the purchase order should not impact the accrual methodology in the procurement operating unit.
• Consequently, global procurement of inventory items, will be routed through the inventory account of the procurement organization
• Therefore, the supplier accrual on the procurement operating unit will always be accrue at receipt
• If the PO distribution for the destination organization, has a project tied to it, the accounting will default to PO price

NOTE:
• Net Accounting is nil, since the net quantity received is zero
• In case of 2 way match, it is not essential to have a receipt at the time of invoicing. The receipt may never occur as well
• At the time of invoice, an inter-company event will be generated in the receiving accounting events table, so that inter-company accounting can take
place. A reverse event needs to be created when a credit memo is received against the invoice
• I/C accounting will be a pure charge back for one-time items. The I/C cost of sales at PO price will be offset by the I/C Revenue, also at PO price,
thereby ensuring that there is no recognition of I/C profit
