AP Invoice Payments
Description:
Supplier invoice payment details. There can be multiple payments per invoice and one document/check can be used to pay different payments and invoices. To allow reconciling payment with invoices and checks, invoice and check level amounts are shown on the last payment record only and are blank for multiple/duplicate records.
Parameters
Ledger, Operating Unit, Payment Date From, Payment Date To, Accounting Date From, Accounting Date To, Supplier, Supplier Number, Supplier Site, Invoice Number, Check Number, Check State

Case Study & Technical Analysis: AP Invoice Payments Report
Executive Summary
The AP Invoice Payments Report provides a detailed operational view of supplier payments within Oracle Payables. It is designed to facilitate the reconciliation of invoices against payments and checks, ensuring financial accuracy and transparency. By listing multiple payments per invoice and handling complex scenarios where a single check pays multiple invoices, this report is an essential tool for Accounts Payable and Treasury departments.
Business Challenge
Managing supplier payments involves several challenges:
- Reconciliation Complexity: Matching individual invoices to consolidated payments (one check paying multiple invoices) can be tedious and error-prone.
- Payment Visibility: Determining the exact status of a payment (e.g., issued, cleared, voided) often requires navigating multiple screens.
- Duplicate Data: Standard reports may duplicate check amounts when listing multiple invoices per check, leading to incorrect totals if not carefully handled.
- Audit Requirements: Auditors frequently request detailed listings of payments to verify authorization and accuracy.
The Solution
The AP Invoice Payments Report addresses these challenges by providing a structured, flat-file view of the payment process.
- Consolidated View: It links invoices to their respective payments, showing the relationship clearly.
- Smart Totals: To prevent double-counting, invoice and check level amounts are displayed only on the last payment record for a given group, leaving duplicate records blank. This feature simplifies pivot table analysis and summation.
- Status Tracking: The report includes the check state, allowing users to filter for cleared, voided, or issued payments.
- Flexible Filtering: Users can search by date ranges, supplier, or specific document numbers to quickly locate transactions.
Technical Architecture (High Level)
The report is built on the core Payables payment tables, ensuring data integrity and performance.
Primary Tables
AP_INVOICES_ALL: Contains the invoice header information.AP_INVOICE_PAYMENTS_ALL: The intersection table linking invoices to payments.AP_CHECKS_ALL: Stores the physical payment document (check/EFT) details.IBY_PAYMENT_PROFILES: (R12) Provides details on the payment method and profile used.AP_SUPPLIERS&AP_SUPPLIER_SITES_ALL: Supplier master data.GL_JE_BATCHES: Links payments to General Ledger journal entries for accounting reconciliation.
Logical Relationships
- Invoice to Payment:
AP_INVOICES_ALLjoins toAP_INVOICE_PAYMENTS_ALLonINVOICE_ID. - Payment to Check:
AP_INVOICE_PAYMENTS_ALLjoins toAP_CHECKS_ALLonCHECK_ID. - Payment Method:
AP_CHECKS_ALLlinks toIBY_PAYMENT_PROFILESto identify the payment instrument. - Accounting: The payment accounting events are linked to GL via
GL_JE_BATCHES(likely through XLA tables in R12, though the high-level view simplifies this).
Parameters & Filtering
The report supports a wide range of parameters for targeted analysis:
- Ledger & Operating Unit: Essential for multi-org reporting.
- Date Ranges: “Payment Date” and “Accounting Date” filters allow for period-based reporting.
- Supplier Filters: “Supplier”, “Supplier Number”, and “Site” allow for vendor-specific analysis.
- Document Filters: “Invoice Number” and “Check Number” enable quick lookups of specific transactions.
- Check State: Filters by the status of the payment (e.g., Negotiable, Voided, Cleared).
Performance & Optimization
- Smart Aggregation: The logic to show amounts only on the last record is likely handled within the SQL query (using analytic functions like
ROW_NUMBER()orLAST_VALUE()), avoiding post-processing overhead. - Indexed Access: Filtering by
CHECK_DATE,CHECK_ID, orVENDOR_IDutilizes standard Oracle indexes for efficient retrieval. - Direct SQL: Bypasses XML parsing for rapid generation of large datasets.
FAQ
Q: Why are some amount fields blank? A: To avoid double-counting totals when a single check pays multiple invoices, the report logic displays the check amount only on the last record of the group.
Q: Can I see voided payments? A: Yes, use the “Check State” parameter to filter for ‘Voided’ payments.
Q: Does this report show electronic payments? A: Yes, it includes all payment methods (Check, EFT, Wire, etc.) recorded in Oracle Payables.
Oracle E-Business Suite Reporting Library
We provide an open source Oracle EBS SQLs as a part of operational and project implementation support toolkits for rapid Excel reports generation.
Blitz Report™ is based on Oracle EBS forms technology, and hence requires minimal training. There are no data or performance limitations since the output files are created directly from the database without going through intermediate file formats such as XML.
Blitz Report can be used as BI Publisher and Oracle Discoverer replacement tool. Standard Oracle BI Publisher and Discoverer reports can also be imported into Blitz Report for immediate output to Excel. Typically, reports can be created and version tracked within hours instead of days. The concurrent request output automatically opens upon completion without the need for re-formatting.
The Filters, Columns, Rows and Values fields are used to create and deliver the data in pivot table format with full drill down to details.

The Excel template upload functionality in Blitz Report allows users to create their own layouts by uploading an Excel template with additional sheets and charts, automatically refreshed when the report runs again. This allows to create custom dashboards and more advanced visualizations of report data.

You can download and use Blitz Report free of charge for your first 30 reports.
The installation and implementation process usually takes less than 1 hour; you can refer to our installation and user guides for specific details.
