CHeck my blog post for more details on defining Legal Entity with details of R12 also It is not essential to have 1 sob per Legal Entity, outside of the US that is best practice but for the US you should put many LE in one sob and use the balancing segmetn to represnt the LE.

Refer to Metalink and Oracle Documentation (links are on the sidebar); there are several excellent user guides and white paper that cover this topic.

I got your point regarding multi-currency support. Taking your cues, went through the steps in Payables and Setup Admin and was able to test the feature in OIE. Approval Routing query: Another point I was thinking of yesterday is the issue of Executive Approval of Expense Reports. Employees with designations such as VP, CEO , CFO and others would like an auto-approve route for their expenses reports. iExpenses always routes expense reports to supervisors, so a dummy employee with a high signing limit can act as Approver.Seems like a crude way of doing things, is there a better option with AME to auto-approve without an approver routing. Next option is customizing Expense WF as a last resort. Have you faced a similar issue or can suggest a workaround. -Regards, Ananda HI Marian

In order to enable multiple currency invoices, you first need to enable multiple currencies in AP. As Payables Manager, navigate to Options > Payables > Currency. Then, in order to control how exchange rates are entered during the expense report entry, define your exchange rate policy in Internet Expenses Setup and Administration > Policy > Exchange Rates.

Is there a setup in Payables/iExpenses so that we can use GL Daily Rates for conversion of Expense lines to the Set-of-Books Functional Currency during import to AP ? Requirement is to use GL Daily Rates ( Corporate Rate Type) for conversion. User will not be entering the conversion rates in their Expense Reports. -Ananda Thanks Marian for the info.

I have been reading your blog for the last 2 months and have benefited alot in my understanding of iExpenses and Projects modules. The articles in your blog are very informative to say the least. You are helping others in the journey across the learning curve in Oracle 11i. Need an info on iExpenses, Can we support the following scenario in Web Based Expense Reports. SOB Currency : USD Reimbursement in EUR Expense lines in EUR AP Invoice Line : USD - Functional using Corporate Rate. Exchange Rate : GL Daily Rates - Corporate Rate We would like to submit an expense report online with foreign currency expense lines. While entering the expenses report, user shouldnt key in the rates. Then while importing the Expense Report in Payables, the foreign currency expense lines are converted to functional currency using GL Daily Rates - Corporate Rate. Is there a setup for the Exchange Rate to use during Import ? Hi Marian
