and cash management requires a flexible and adaptable system that optimizes the
entire accounts payable process.

The Solution: A Flexible, Integrated Accounts Payable System

Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accounts Payable provides the integration
and flexibility you need to streamline and personalize your accounts payable
operation. You can enhance supplier relationships by fulfilling payment
obligations in an accurate and timely manner. And, with automated discount
calculations and prepayment support, you can ensure that your cash management is
both efficient and effective.

Improve Supplier Relationships

Flexibility is critical to meeting the unique needs of your suppliers, and Accounts
Payable provides the tools to help you build and maintain efficient, personalized
supplier partnerships. Whether a supplier prefers electronic funds transfers (ETFs),
drafts, or paper checks, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne supports individual payment
terms and ensures the recognition of preferences. You can handle prepayment,
specific information, and multicurrency payments requests. And, you and your
suppliers save time with self-service functionality for independent supplier review
of vouchers and payments within your Accounts Payable system.

Negotiate More Favorable Supplier Contracts

Integration improves visibility. With JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, you can access
account balance and total purchase information by supplier—and use this valuable
information to leverage your organization’s purchasing power for better terms and
conditions. Improved contract pricing can create hard-dollar savings and lay the
foundation for profitable, long-term supplier relationships.

Establish Prompt, Efficient Invoice Processing

With Accounts Payable, you have the flexibility to meet your unique business
requirements— whether you process multiple recurring invoices or high-dollar
prepayments. The system automatically calculates taxes, discounts, and currency
conversions based on your preconfigured specifications. This capability enables
you to take full advantage of discounts and pay your suppliers according to their

terms, without interrupting the accounts payable process.

With JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, you can choose from a variety of payment

instruments, including electronic funds transfer (EFT), drafts, and paper checks.
You can even set up multiple bank accounts for currency-specific balances or take
advantage of special discounts offered by banks. And, for global organizations, JD
Edwards EnterpriseOne supports multicurrency and multiple language needs.

As with the many control opportunities that exist throughout Accounts Payable,
you can choose how you want to be notified of potential duplicate invoices—either
by a preliminary warning or an elevated alert. The ability to proactively examine
invoices with the same invoice number can reduce confusion, improve control, and
help prevent duplicate payments.

Manage Cash Effectively

An effective cash management approach takes maximum advantage of discounts
while maintaining your suppliers’ preferred payment methods. Accounts Payable
allows you to consider a virtually unlimited number of variables before submitting
payment to a supplier, including date due, discount offered, and amount of cash on
hand.

Whether you pay vouchers automatically or manually, the result is always

controlled, efficient, and accurate. You can organize your vouchers and have
Accounts Payable handle the payments or select vouchers for manual, split, or
partial payments based on current cash requirements. On a supplier-by-supplier
basis, online inquires allow you to review information quickly, such as balances
forward and open items, before authorizing payments.

Accounts Payable provides timely and accurate information on cash flow, aging
information, and discount opportunities. With online access to real-time supplier
information, payment history, and vouchers, you are able to improve supplier
relationships, negotiate better contracts, and control cash flow.
