Purpose
The following guide is intended for stakeholders of the Sponsored Awards Process, particularly Accounts Receivable Specialists and Managers.
Action
Terminology
- ADFDI (Application Development Framework Desktop Integration) integrates with Microsoft Excel to load moderate amounts of data into Oracle Cloud. The tool is accessed from the user interface and offers online data validation using lists of values.
- Invoice is a bill to a sponsor created in the Oracle Contract Management Invoices module.
- Letter of Credit (LOC) Draw is a request for payment from a given Federal sponsor. The amount of the draw corresponds to one or multiple LOC invoices generated for the sponsor LOC at a given point in time in Oracle.
- Receipt is Oracle's term for a payment received from an external party. It corresponds with a deposit made to the University's bank account.
- Receipt Method describes the manner in which the sponsor makes a payment. Receipt Methods include ACH (Automated Clearing House), Check, and Wire.
- Sponsor: A sponsor is an organization that provides funding for a sponsored research agreement.
Create a Standard Receipt
- Select the OKTA Single-Sign-On button and then complete the sign-in steps.

- Navigate and select the Receivables module.
- Select Accounts Receivable.

- Select the Taskbar.

- Add Receipt Type, Business Unit, Receipt Method, Receipt Number, Currency, and Entered Amount.

- Enter Account Number and Name under Customer.

- Select the chevron next to Additional Information.
- Select the Award Number (required for interest-bearing awards).
- Oracle does not require entry of an Award Number on a receipt. The Award Number Descriptive Flexfield (DFF) was added to accommodate the business process for interest-bearing awards. The interest-bearing awards report relies on the DFF to determine for which awards receipts have been entered but not applied, and hence are eligible to earn interest.

- Select the Plus Sign (+) icon under Remittance Reference Details. Enter Reference Number and Reference Amount.

- Select the Dropdown Arrow beside Submit and Create Another.
- If an invoice exists* select Submit and AutoApply Now, otherwise select Submit.
- *Note: Cases where an invoice may not be entered at the time a receipt is created include:
- amount-based awards where the sponsor sends the University a payment (based on a schedule or milestone) before URA has created an event and generated an invoice.
- the payment doesn't include identifiers that enable the University to identify the award(s) or invoice id(s) at the time the receipt is created.
- Select Save.

- Select Actions and Post to Ledger.

- Select View Accounting and then Close.

- You have now completed the steps to create a Standard Receipt in Oracle.
