Today, I will be discussing some of the latest features in Oracle Payables 11i.

EXTENDED EDI SUPPORT

Unlike the older version of Oracle Payables, version 11i offers Oracle EDI Gateway. With Oracle EDI Gateway, one can now import invoice data directly from suppliers. Oracle Payables 11i creates an outbound application error acknowledgement in case there are any problems due to the import of such invoice data.

In the new version of Oracle Payables 11i, transaction sets have been created for inbound invoices which are X12 810 and EDIFACT INVOIC. Similarly, transaction set X12 857 has been created for shipment and billing notices. In case of invalid invoice data import the transaction sets for outbound error acknowledgements are X12 824 and EDIFACT APERAK.
