Integrated Receiving (RI): Oracle’s Solution for Brazil
In one of my earlier blogs, I had discussed why Brazil is different from other countries. One of the legal requirements in Brazil is if you are selling in Brazil you have to own inventory (at least in your system if not a physical warehouse). For a company with no manufacturing in Brazil, there is an import process whereby goods need to be received against a Purchase Order. The core Oracle product does not have the provision to comply with legal and statutory requirements for Brazil when it comes to receiving.
Integrated Receiving (mandatory for receiving goods in Brazil) is a new module developed by the Localizations Brazil team (Oracle Brazil) and is used only for Brazilian legislation purposes. Its objective is to provide the entrance of goods and services in accordance with the Brazilian Fiscal Transactions, segregating all types of taxes and conditions required by the Brazilian Government.
Basically it enters all the Fiscal information and calculates the amount to be paid and sends this information to the Accounts Payables Invoices Interface to create the payments. Parallely, it creates the physical receipt in the inventory module according to the setup .It also creates the inputs for Periodic Average Cost transaction evaluation and for the Fiscal Books provided by third party Oracle partners.
Technically, all the RI features are supported by new tables, objects and programs that are documented in the Technical Reference Manual (TRM) for Integrated Receiving. All the links between RI and other Oracle modules are based on the Open Interface Tables provided by Oracle E-Business Suite
So if you are thinking of Brazil, this is one of the modules you need to master!!!

Sandeep,
Does Integrated Receiving have any effect on the regular receiving with the MSCA module. As I understand the Receipt can not be done until the price and taxes from the Purchase Order being received matches the internal calculation by Oracle. If no match then the receipt can not be processed?
Thanks,
Chuck Geiger

As of now, Integrated Receiving does not have the integration with MSCA. If all the matching is perfect, it opens up the Standard Receipt form of the Inventory Module.
