Create Commodity-Based Expense Account Rules

Expense Charge Account Rules

When determining the default charge account, the account generator may reference the

charge account defined on the employee record. Expense Charge Account Rules enable

you to override one or multiple segments of that default account based on the item

4-18 Oracle iProcurement Implementation and Administration Guide

category. This ability to override does not interfere with the action of the account

generator, but replaces those segments you configure after the account generator has

created a charge account.

Setup Steps:

1. Log in to Oracle Applications and choose the Procure to Pay Administrator

responsibility.

2. Navigate to Purchasing Setup > Financials > Accounting > Expense Account Rules.

3. Define the rules (for each item category) in the window. Duplicate rules for the

same category or account segment are not permitted.

4. Save your work.
