This is an Oracle Fusion Payables seeded report for Remittance advice output format against Supplier’s AP invoice payment. Although Oracle provides this standard seeded report which can be used but many a times based on particular client requirement the format of the report needs to be changed.
Note: Only RTF format can be customized for this report and not the data source because this seeded report is based on internal java program which generates data source file at runtime. You will not find Data Model for this report to customize. Path for the seeded report: /shared/Financials/Payments
Disbursement Separate Remittance Advice Formats
As this is a seeded report we cannot make changes directly in this report, as any further patch or upgrade on this instance may delete the changes. So we create a custom copy of this report and then do the changes. Open Fusion BI Console using: http://<hostname.domain>.oraclecloud.com/xmlpserver and then go to the report path.
Note: If you navigate to report path using Fusion Browse Catalog option, you will not get the option to customize seeded report.
Click on More option and choose Customize
Once you click on Customize option, it creates a custom copy of the report in corresponding /shared/Custom/Financials/Payments path
Now you can download this rtf by clicking on Edit link. Edit and upload the rtf again for the new format. You can also create new rtf and link that custom rtf to Payment Process Requests (PPR) setup (Doc ID 2002864.1) so that supplier receives email whenever payment is done for AP invoice against that supplier.
