Oracle EBS Payables Data Flow and Data Model

When suppliers are created, records are created in AP_SUPPLIERS and AP_SUPPLIER_SITES.
Invoices are saved in AP_INVOICES (invoice header records) and AP_INVOICE_LINES (invoice lines records).
Payments generate records in AP_INVOICE_PAYMENTS and AP_PAYMENTS_SCHEDULE.
When an invoice is approved and when it is paid, accounting transactions are generated. These transactions make
their way to the GL_INTERFACE table via Payables Transfer to GL process.
When payments are made, the information about the payment is recorded in AP_CHECKS.
Invoices can be entered into Oracle Payables from external systems via the AP_INVOICE_INTERFACE and
AP_INVOICES_LINES_INTERFACE tables.
