Purpose of this document

This document provides a comprehensive guide to the BIP enhancement. The integration now runs distinct BIP reports based on the originating Financials Module (for example, Accounts Payable (AP), Accounts Receivable (AR), Procurement (PO), Order Management (OM)), improving performance by running queries only for the specific Business Unit/Module.

BIP enhancements: Segregation by business unit/module

The ONESOURCE Integration for Oracle Fusion can run the Attributes BIP Report to retrieve additional data elements from Fusion Financials during tax calculation. The current design uses a single BIP report across all business units and modules. With this enhancement, the ONESOURCE Integration will let each Business Unit/Module combination use a different BIP report.

Functionality

Is module-specific BIP available?
  • If yes, use the module-specific BIP from Company Settings.
  • If no, is BU default BIP available?
    • If yes, use the BU default BIP from Company Settings.
    • If no, use the system default BIP.

Configuration in Integration UI

In
Integration UI
Company Settings
, edit the company settings and enter details in the
BIP Override Settings
tab.
Example setup:
  • Default BIP
    : /Custom/Interfaces/Tax/GEN/ONESOURCE_INTEGRATION_ATTRIBUTES.xdo
  • AP BIP
    : /Custom/Interfaces/Tax/AP/ONESOURCE_INTEGRATION_ATTRIBUTES.xdo
  • AR BIP
    : /Custom/Interfaces/Tax/AR/ONESOURCE_INTEGRATION_ATTRIBUTES.xdo
  • PO BIP
    : /Custom/Interfaces/Tax/PO/ONESOURCE_INTEGRATION_ATTRIBUTES.xdo
This setup achieves the following:
  • For calls from the AP, AR, and PO modules, the system executes the BIP report specified at the module level.
  • For calls from the OM module, the system executes the default BIP report at the company level.
Select
Validate
to check if the report exists in the path provided. The system will still let you save the configuration if the validation fails. This lets you upload the report at a later state.
note
The transaction will receive an error at runtime if the reports aren't set up during tax calls.
