Making Charge Account Attribute on Oracle ERP

Overview

Oracle Purchasing Cloud enables you to streamline and automate the procure-to-pay process while enforcing negotiated pricing and terms and ensuring policy compliance.

The charge account in your PO distributions will be used as the Debit account during your PO Delivery process. For example, if you are receiving and delivering an Inventory Item the charge account would typically default from Sub-inventory or organization material account.

If you are dealing with an expense item, the charge account could default from your sub-inventory or organization or item expense account If the destination type is expense, you can specify this account (provided it is not project related) and override any defaults. This account will be either an asset clearing account that will be included on the balance sheet or an expense account that will be included on the income statement. This account is either created or specified when you create a purchase order.

In many a case, a business might need to restrict the users from overriding the charge accounts to avoid charging the purchase to an incorrect account and also to comply with audit requirements if any. Following steps can be performed in Oracle Fusion Cloud for making the charge account field as read only to avoid users from manually override the same.
