This note explains how to setup a Remit-To Address for use in Oracle Receivables
Fix
1. Setting Up a Remit-To Address
Define remit-to addresses to let your customers know where to send payment for their invoices. Receivables uses the addresses that you define in the Remit
To Addresses window to provide default remit-to information when you enter transactions.

Note: Receivables does not provide default remit-to information when you enter credit memos.

a. Define System Options and Profile Options

Responsibility: Receivables Manager
Navigation: Setup > System > System Options
Select the Miscellaneous Tab and enter values for the following:
If you check the Print Remit-To Address box in the System Options window, Receivables prints the remit-to address that you define here on your
dunning letters and statements. The width and height (in characters) of your customer's remit-to address in your printed dunning letters is 8
characters (height) by 30 characters (width)

Responsibility: System Administrator

Navigation: Profile > System
You can only enter information in the alternate name field when defining a Remit-to Address if the profile option AR: Customers - Enter Alternate
Fields is Yes.

Receivables also uses the alternate name to sort customer names in certain
reports if the profile option AR: Sort Customer Reports by Alternate Fields is Yes.

b. Navigate to the Remit-To Address Form

Responsibility: Receivables Manager
Navigation: Setup > Print > Remit To Address > Create Remit-To Address

c. Select the Country

Default: Country defaults from the System Options Window
Impact: If you have implemented flexible address formats and the country you enter has an address style assigned to it, Receivables opens a

window in which you can enter address information in the style most appropriate for that country.
Notice in the screenshot below, we change the country to Canada and the "Province" field is now displayed.

d. Enter an Alternate Name

Enter an Alternate Name for this address (optional). This field is used in some reports. See step 1a for more information.
The 'Alternate Address Name' is not rendered by default in Release 12. Users can use Forms Personalization to personalize the address block by
setting the Render flag to True for Alternate Address Name field. See Bug BUG:8571973
e. Enter a remit-to Address
Note: The release 12 Receivables Implementation Guide incorrectly refers to an obsolete Postal Code field on the Receivables System
Options. This setup is no longer used in Release 12. Internal Documentation Bug 9715200 will correct this in a future version of the
manual.

Verify that your Remit-To address is associated with the proper Operating Unit

Once you have completed the address, select "Apply"

f. Re-Query the Remit-To Address

After you apply and save you will be returned ot the Remit-To Address search window. Enter the country name and select Go.

g. Identify the Customer Addresses that will use this Remit-To

Select the radio button next to the address created in step 1e and then select "Create"

Optionally Enter a State and/or range of Postal Codes for each country. You can
define multiple assignments for a remit-to address that has the same country or
state, but different postal code ranges.
In the example below we first created a range that covers the western United States. Next we created a range for the same Remit-To address
that covers the entire country of Canada. In this scenario one address could be used for all remittance in both areas.
1st Range:

2nd Range:

After adding both ranges the Remit-To will show as follows:

2. Assigning a Default Remit-To Address

Define default remit-to addresses to ensure that:
Receivables is able to provide a default remit-to address when you enter transactions
AutoInvoice will not reject invoices because it is not able to determine a remit-to address
You can only have one default remit-to address for each country or Country + State combination.
In the example from step 1g, the address is the Default Remit-To address for Canada.
If we wished to also make this the default Remit-To address for the United States we could create a third combination and fill in only the country of United
States.

Note: It is a best practice to set up a default remit-to address even if you do not anticipate requiring this value. If for example you have a default
remit-to for the United States, you can also define alternate remit-to address to be used with different zip-code ranges which take priority over the default
due to their more granular definitions.
