Here is my atempt to explain the concept of Revenue Recognition. Hope it helps.

Well, there is no better place to check the Profile Options using the Profile Options Form in System Administrator responsibility. But at times, you either do not have System Administrator responsibility or you need to check and compare profile options for more than one profile or more than one responsibility at the same time. The following queries are very useful in those scenarios…

There have been many instances where I have been asked by the Business Users to provide Customer Listing reports based on different parameters. The different requests typically are as follows
- Customer listing with all Sites for a specific Org
- A listing of only those Customer with whom we have had transactions in the last ‘x’ years
- A listing of all Customer Sites that do not have any Business purpose associated with it
- Customer Listing By Collector
- Customer Listing along with Profile Class names and Collector names
- And so on …
We have the Standard Customer Listing Reports in the application. However these reports are not org stripped because the HZ_CUST_ACCOUNTS data is not org stripped plus the standard reports could not be used for all different flavors of the Business requests. In these cases, I used the following queries

The Objective of this document is to explain how we migrated Call Notes from AR to Advanced Collections
Our client is implementing Advanced Collections. The Client is currently using AR Collections Workbench to manage its Collections Activities. As such the Call notes are currently maintained in AR in the Customer Calls form as a Response Note or a Call Topic Note . These notes are either at the account level or a transaction level. When the Collectors switch to the Collections form in Advanced Collections, the AR Call notes cannot be viewed in the Notes Tab. Hence there is a need to migrate the AR Call notes from AR to Advanced Collections

Automation of manual activities is the norm and that’s where Oracle Standard API’s helps me a lot. The Business scenario for my client is as follows
1. The Client imports feeder system transactions data into Oracle Receivables using RA INTERFACE
2. Credit Memo’s are imported as On-Account Credit Memo’s because there is not enough matching data available in the feeder system that would allow creating Credit transactions against the Invoices through autoinvoice.
3. The Credit Memo number and the related transaction number are maintained in a custom staging table.
4. The requirement was to be able to apply these On-Account Credit Memo’s to the Invoices.

The Objective of this document is to explain how we implemented Different Strategies for Different Operating Units in Advanced Collections using Strategy Filters
Our client is implementing Advanced Collections on a Multi-Org environment. The Client has operations in many countries and each country is defined as an operating unit. The work culture is different in most of the countries and hence the Collections Strategies are also different. A common global strategy cannot be applied to the Accounts of different countries and hence the need to have different strategies assigned to the Accounts pertaining to different operating units
