Profit in Inventory
Intercompany profit is the artificial gain or profit recorded when one internal
organization sells to another internal organization, and the receiving org’s cost is
different from the sending org’s transfer price

Slide 35
Profit in Inventory – Alternate: “Price Not as Incoming Cost”
By using “Price Not as Incoming Cost” profit in inventory can be earned with
the intransit shipment or receipt transaction (depending on FOB setting)
R12 Recommendations:
1) Turn off the standard Oracle PII/ICP accounting entries, by setting the profile from
“Price Not as Incoming Cost” to “Price as Incoming Cost”
2) Ensure your internal prices equals the standard costs in your receiving organization.
Slide 36
R12: Profit in Inventory and Internal Requisition Challenges
You want the internal requisition price based on the receiving organization’s
item cost, just like any external purchase order
See: FAQ for Using Source Inventory Org Cost + Margin As Intercompany
AR Transfer Price In An Internal Order Using Intercompany or Using it for
the Internal Requisition Price (Doc ID 1356460.1)

Financial Orchestration Flows
Primary Route Example: UK Ship, US Selling (to final customer)
“A primary route indicates an agreement to transact goods and services between the two primary profit center
business units. The start node represents the internal seller and end node represents the internal buyer.”
─ from Oracle R13D SCFO documentation
Slide 53
Financial Orchestration Flows
Financial Route Example: UK BU to US1 BU
“A financial route contains the terms and conditions that determine the nature of the intercompany transaction,
such as the documentation, accounting and pricing rule to use and so on. Each primary route must have at least
one financial route; and may have multiple financial routes.” ─ from Oracle R13D SCFO documentation
Slide 54
Lessons Learned
Slide 55
Lessons Learned – Impact to COA Design
Slide 56
Lessons Learned – Impact to Ledger Design
Should keep local books and even HQ/US non-consolidated books at gross
Best practice:
• Create an ICP Ledger for elimination journals
• Allows use of same company numbers on the elimination journal
• And keeps the manual elimination journal out of the Consolidated Ledger
Slide 57
Lessons Learned – Don’t Test in Production!
Receivables:
• Ensures all intercompany invoices are processed in same month as shipped
(see the Internal Margin Shipment Report in Appendix)
Payables:
• Coordinates with Cost Accounting and as needed reclasses ICP out of A/P Accruals
Slide 60
Profit in Inventory – Other Lessons
Wise to use spreadsheet tools to speed ICP item cost data entry:
• R12: consider More4Apps Item Cost Wizard or API Wizard
• Cloud Costing: use built-in spreadsheet item cost loads
Currency changes will cause inaccuracies
• (i.e. Standard cost based on 1.2 USD/Euro, but inter-org transfers
use the current daily transaction rate of 1.1)
Transfer price changes will cause inaccuracies
• Cost Model has to be consistent
• With transfer price changes need to revalue your ICP amounts
• In the ideal world, store the ICP item costs:
– by item, org
– keep track of the monthly ICP item costs and original currency rate
