Distribution set in Fusion Payables

You can use a Distribution Set to automatically enter distributions for an invoice when you are not matching it to a purchase order. For example, you can create for an advertising supplier a Distribution Set that allocates advertising expense on an invoice to four advertising departments.

Distribution sets automatically create distributions for invoices that aren't matched to purchase orders. For example, you can create a distribution set for an advertising supplier that allocates the advertising expense on an invoice to four departments.

 

 

 

After clicking on Project Information:

 

A distribution set can include:

• Income tax types: If you're creating a distribution set for a federally reportable supplier, you can enter an income tax type.
• Project information: If you use Oracle Fusion Project Costing, "invoice distributions" can include project information. If you use a project-related distribution set, the project information is automatically entered on the invoice distribution. You can override project fields on the distribution.

You can define distribution sets for "invoice business units" with and without percentages.

Distribution Sets with Percentages

Use a 100 percent distribution set when you know the allocation percentages. For example, you can create a distribution set to allocate rent expense across two departments. You can allocate 70 percent of the invoice amount to the sales facility expense account and 30 percent to the administration facility expense account.

Note: Percentage distribution sets can include both positive and negative percentages.

Distribution Sets Without Percentages

Use a 0 percent distribution set when you don't know the allocation percentages. For example, you might allocate facility expenses based on monthly headcount. You can define a zero percent distribution set that includes the expense distributions for each department. You can then provide the distribution amounts during invoice entry.

Default Distribution set at site assignment:

You can assign a default Distribution Set on the Site Assignments tab on the Supplier Site page so Payables will use it for every invoice you enter for that supplier site. If you do not assign a default Distribution Set to a supplier site, you can always assign a Distribution Set to an invoice when you enter it.
