3.8. Oracle Environmental Accounting & Reporting 3.8.1. Release 12.1.3

3.8.1.1. Capture of Energy Usage and Environmental Data

Oracle Environmental Accounting and Reporting (EA&R) integrates with Oracle Accounts Payables and Oracle Inventory Management enabling customers to perform environmental accounting for various transactions, enabling the capture of the energy usage, fuel usage and other environmental data through AP invoices, Inventory issues, Environmental Ledger and Web ADI. Using the usage information captured during transactions or entered manually, EA&R calculates the related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through the application of energy and emission factors. This approach presents users with a familiar and consistent experience maintaining data integrity and security with a single source of truth and ensuring data completeness and accuracy. Integration with the native ERP system reduces environmental data management costs, leveraging existing IT systems, minimizing organizational impacts and assuring rapid time to value.

3.8.1.2. Emission Sources, Scopes and Factors

An emission factor is the quantity of a greenhouse gas emitted per unit of energy (kg CO2-e /GJ), fuel (kg CO2-e/t coal) or a similar measure. The EA&R application provides the ability to define, change and update emission sources and factors, automatically determining the correct transformation factors for each transaction. It also enables users to select location specific energy and emission factors for environmental accounting of transactions that are related to emission sources. It also enables setup of custom emission factors. Emission transformation factors are stored and can readily be updated over time with date effectiveness to manage the change of emissions factors and for recalculation purposes.

Emission calculation techniques range from usage of emission factors to direct monitoring. The most common techniques used for emission calculation are:

• Calculations based on the purchased quantities of commercial fuels, such as natural gas and heating oil, using published emission factors. This method is used for Scope 1 emissions.

• Calculations based on metered electricity consumption and supplier-specific, local grid, or other published emission factors. This method is used for Scope 2 emissions.

• Calculations based on activity data such as fuel use or passenger miles and published or third-party emission factors. This type of emissions is usually classified as Scope 3 emissions.

Oracle Environmental Accounting and Reporting allows you to update historical factors using the GHG Sources window and provides the “Recalculate Emissions” concurrent program to recalculate the emission and energy values based on the revised factors.

Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document Oracle Environmental Accounting & Reporting 9

The solution enables complete audit trail for entries and updates reducing data assurance costs.

3.8.1.3. Calculation and Classification of Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Oracle Environmental Accounting and Reporting provides the built-in mechanisms for calculating emissions and classifying them as Scope 1, 2, or 3 using the Greenhouse Gas Protocol guidelines published by the World Resources Institute. The Emissions Calculation Engine uses the collected usage data to calculate the relevant emissions using seeded formulas based on the energy and emission factors setup for the emission sources. This enables organization to accurately communicate greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental impacts to constituents including regulators, customers, shareholders and employees.

3.8.1.4. Environmental Ledger

The Environmental Ledger stores all changes to the environmental transactions including voiding, reversal, recalculation, and measurement criterion updating transactions. The changing landscape of compliance mandates drives companies to provide more comprehensive, transparent, accurate and auditable data. Oracle Environmental Accounting and Reporting allows you to have a single source of truth assuring data quality and auditability.

3.8.1.5. Flexible Reporting and Organizational Structures

Oracle Environmental Accounting and Reporting enables the creation of Environmental Organizations. An organization is defined as a single undertaking or an enterprise or any entity that performs activities or a series of activities that emit greenhouse gases and/or produces, or consumes energy at a single site and is attributable to a single industry sector. An organization can have multiple hierarchies for reporting, for example, government reporting hierarchy, operational hierarchy, or legal structure hierarchy. In addition an organization can be a division, company subsidiary, or operation (i.e. facilities, plants). The integration with the native ERP enables leveraging existing structures as well as specifying additional hierarchies for GHG Protocol and other reporting guidelines, including the ability to define aggregation levels and to manage acquisitions and divestitures.

3.8.1.6. Pre-Built Analytics and Dashboard with Dynamic User Interaction

Pre-built Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE) dashboards enable the dynamic generation of reports providing insight into an organization’s emissions and other environmental impacts. The dashboards provide information on energy usage, emissions, key performance indicators (KPIs), activities and transactions. Users can view graphical representations of the data; drill down into output of past, current, and projected data; analyze historical trends; define variance thresholds and receive alerts; and publish and distribute reports in multiple formats. The pre-built OBIEE reporting and analytics dashboards also include the quantitative responses to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). OBIEE’s powerful and flexible framework allows for the quick creation of reports for reporting schemes such as Climate Registry (USA), EPA 40 CFR Part 98 Rule (USA), Carbon Reduction Commitment (UK), and National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act (Australia). Measuring performance and setting targets allows organizations to become more productive, profitable and sustainable by providing powerful insights into high opportunity areas for emissions reductions, energy savings, and cost savings. In addition, OBIEE allows users to quickly create custom user defined reports.

Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document Oracle Environmental Accounting & Reporting 10

3.8.1.7. User-Defined Key Performance Indicators

Oracle Environmental Accounting and Reporting enables organizations to create and modify standard and custom industry-specific key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure performance and monitor key environmental metrics such as energy, waste, and water. Users can normalize data to operational metrics and use a drag-and-drop environment in OBIEE to create custom reports. Examples of these KPIs are energy usage per square foot, water usage by employee, etc. Using these metrics organizations can benchmark and affect behavioral change to reduce environmental impacts in the relative context of the organization’s growth.

3.8.1.8. Target and Threshold Definition

Oracle Environmental Accounting and Reporting enables organizations to establish a baseline of its greenhouse gas emissions, energy usage, and other key environmental indicators and set reductions targets. Graphical indicators on the Business Intelligence dashboards illustrate to users on a timely basis whether the organization is performing above, below, or in-line with the targets so that corrective actions can be taken as needed to successfully execute on the organization’s sustainability initiatives.

3.8.1.9. Using WebADI to Import Setup Data

Users are able to leverage the Web ADI framework in Oracle E-Business Suite to import setup data into the Environmental Accounting & Reporting application. Data that can be imported using this interface includes Sources, KPI Definitions, Targets, and Organizations.

3.8.2. Release 12.2

3.8.2.1. Updated Carbon Disclosure Project Report

One of the pre-built OBIEE reporting and analytics dashboards supported in EA&R covers the quantitative responses to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). The Carbon Disclosure Project report has been enhanced to support additional questions under the 2011 guidelines. The dashboard can now display: emissions in metric tons, emission factors applied for GHG calculations and their origin; breakdown of Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by activity; amount of fuel, electricity, heat, steam, and cooling in MWh consumed by an organization during the reporting year; breakdown of fuel usage by fuel type; year by year comparison of combined Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions; year by year comparison of Scope 3 emissions by source; and gross combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions for the reporting year in metric tons CO2e per full time equivalent (FTE) employee.

3.8.2.2. Enhanced Performance Dashboards

Pre-built Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE) dashboards enable the dynamic generation of reports providing insight into an organization’s emissions and other environmental impacts. The dashboards provide information on energy usage, emissions, key performance indicators (KPIs), activities and transactions. Users can view graphical representations of the data; drill down into output of past, current, and projected data; analyze historical trends; define variance thresholds and receive alerts; and publish and distribute reports in multiple formats. In this release additional pre-built reports have been added including the Scope 3 Emissions and Emissions by Organization Level dashboards.

Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document Oracle Environmental Accounting & Reporting 11

3.8.2.3. Enhanced Key Performance Indicators

Oracle Environmental Accounting and Reporting enables organizations to create and modify standard and custom industry-specific key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure performance and monitor key environmental metrics such as energy, waste, and water. Users can normalize data to operational metrics and use a drag-and-drop environment in OBIEE to create custom reports. In the 12.2 release it is now possible to set a threshold in the KPI Metrics history page highlighting to users whether the organization is performing above, below or in-line with the targets so that corrective actions can be taken as needed to successfully execute on the organization’s sustainability initiatives.

3.8.3. Release 12.2.3

3.8.3.1. Water and Waste Dashboards

EA&R is being enhanced to provide a new set of out-of-the-box dashboards to accommodate new requirements for reporting based on legislation and competitive pressure. These new requirements include the addition of a Water and Waste Dashboard reports including Water Consumption, Water Recycled/Reused by Period, and Total Solid Waste produced by period, Solid Waste Recovered and Recycled by Period, Solid Waste to Landfill by Period.

3.8.3.2. Carbon Permit Management

Emissions trading or cap-and-trade is a market-based approach used to control pollution by providing economic incentives for achieving reductions in the emissions of pollutants. Governments set a limit or cap on the amount of a pollutant that may be emitted. The limit or cap is allocated or sold to firms in the form of emissions permits which represent the right to emit or discharge a specific volume of the specified pollutant. Firms are required to hold a number of permits (or carbon credits) equivalent to their emissions. Typically, in carbon tax and emission trading schemes, significant penalties apply for not surrendering the correct amount of permits by the compliance date. Companies need to establish processes to actively manage trading of permits, such as funding purchases when needed and understanding which permits can be used to meet their liabilities.

Oracle Environmental Accounting and Reporting (EA&R) helps these companies calculate the correct number of carbon permits required for the specified reporting period. The new Carbon Permit Management report tracks emission data by region / legislation to show the number of carbon permits which must be surrendered to be complaint.

3.8.4. Release 12.2.4

3.8.4.1. Integration with Oracle Property Manager

This release provides a new integration which brings the organizational hierarchy defined in Oracle Property Manager into Oracle Environmental Accounting & Reporting. Data entities for Region, Property, Building, Floor, and Office are imported from Oracle Property Manager along with their implicit hierarchy to create a new default hierarchy in the Environmental Accounting & Reporting module. This hierarchy is called the ‘GHG Property Manager Organization Hierarchy’ and has six levels, namely: Level Number Entity Type

1 Company Name

2 Region Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document Oracle Environmental Accounting & Reporting 12

3 Property

4 Building

5 Floor

6 Office

The information brought across from Property Manager for these entities includes any associated tenure, disposition, area, and headcount data and are displayed in the ‘Property Details’ tab for each Environmental Organization. These property details are synchronized over time to capture any ongoing changes that are made in Property Manager.

A new setup feature called 'Property Types' maintains a mapping between the Property Types in Property Manager and the Organization Types maintained in Environmental Accounting & Reporting.

For organizations that do not use Oracle Property Manager the property details can be entered directly in Environmental Accounting & Reporting for each Environmental Organization.

3.8.4.2. Source and Item Unit of Measure Conversion

This feature enables users to set up an additional unit of measure conversion specific to an Environmental Source or Item. For example:

• Grease is typically purchased in kilograms but for the purposes of calculating emissions the rates provided consider grease as a liquid and thus require a volumetric unit.

• Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) can be purchased by cylinder size or cylinder weight but the energy content factors are based on volumetric units such as kiloliters or gallons.

• In most cases purchased electricity does not have an associated Item in the source transactions (i.e. electricity is purchased in kWh) but there may be some cases where electricity is purchased based on the use of an Item (e.g. the number of gallons of diesel oil required to power a generator) requiring an additional conversion.

This release enables the users to setup conversions specific to either Environmental Sources or Items to address scenarios such as the ones described above. This UOM conversion capability is above and beyond the standard unit of measure conversion previously supported by the application.

The Source UOM conversion assumes higher precedence over the standard UOM conversion in selecting the conversion factors at the time of emission calculation. For conversions where there is a related Item the source UOM conversion assumes the higher precedence over both the standard and Item UOM conversion when the emissions are calculated.

3.8.4.3. Organizations Targets for Emission, Energy and Usage

Users now have the ability to set performance targets at the organizational level for Energy, Emissions, and Usage for specific periods thus enabling organizations to drive performance improvements on an ongoing basis. A new dashboard enables ongoing visual comparison of the actual performance of the organization versus the targets that have been set.

Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document Oracle Environmental Accounting & Reporting 13

3.8.4.4. Enhanced Energy Dashboard

The existing energy dashboard has been enhanced to include four additional tabs, namely: Summary, Energy by Scope, Energy by Source, and Energy by Organization Type. The existing tab has been renamed to Energy by Organization.

The Summary tab now displays two reports: (i) Energy History displaying a graphical representation of the history of the energy consumed by the organization and (ii) Energy by Year showing the energy consumed by an organization for a specific period.

The Energy by Scope dashboard displays a graphical representation of the energy usage of an organization by Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 as per the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.

The Energy by Source page displays a graphical and tabular representation of the energy consumed by the organization for each of the environmental sources.

The Energy by Organization Type dashboard presents reports showing the energy usage broken down by the organizational levels based on the Organization Type.

3.9. Oracle Financials Common Modules 3.9.1. Release 12.2

3.9.1.1. Scheduling of AP/AR Netting Batches

Users can now schedule the AP/AR Netting program to process transactions at regular intervals. This allows automatic creation and settlement of netting batches containing payables and receivables transactions.

3.10. Oracle Financials for Americas 3.10.1. Release 12.2.3

3.10.1.1. Brazilian CFOP – Derivation and Defaulting

The CFOP (Fiscal Code of Operations and Services code is a 4-digit code defined by the National Tributary System in Brazil.

CFOP contains information on the good’s origin as well as the type of operation, such as sales, returns, stock transfers, or services.

As part of the Fiscal SPED and NF-e (electronic invoice), any transactions related to Purchase, Sales and Transfer of Goods or Services are codified through the CFOP. This code is reported on each line of the NF-e.

Oracle Brazilian Receivables has been modified to perform automatic derivation and defaulting of CFOP codes from the setup onto the Receivables transaction lines.

This update has also been back-ported to the following releases:

3.20.2.1. Replace Supplier Bank Accounts on Invoices

In today’s business environment, it is a common practice to change bank accounts. If suppliers change their bank accounts, Oracle Payables can now automatically update all unpaid and partially paid invoices with the new bank account information. When users end date an existing supplier bank account and provide a new active bank account, Oracle Payables will automatically update the remit-to bank account information on unpaid and partially paid invoices. This streamlines transaction processing and prevents the need to update each invoice manually.

This feature has been back-ported to 12.1.1 via the standalone patches: 6867725:R12.AP.B and 6615694:R12.IBY.B.

3.20.2.2. Change Taxes from Inclusive to Exclusive Online

The tax regulations in many countries require that certain types of taxes on invoices be applied as inclusive or exclusive to the price of the good or service. This is common in countries that report VAT, such as in the United Kingdom, where the VAT tax can be treated as inclusive or exclusive depending on the type or price of the good or service.

Oracle Payables provides the flexibility to override the inclusive or exclusive nature of taxes that default from the eBTax setup. While entering an invoice, users can change taxes from inclusive to exclusive or vice versa to match the tax shown on the physical invoice. This ensures more accurate invoice entry and tax reporting.

FDC North is a processor model payment system and is integrated with iPayments for credit / purchase card processing on the funds capture side. Under the 11i/FP.G and R12 versions, the FDC North servlet could not be load balanced due to the use of a text file (BatchGenMap.txt) for processing purposes and the inability for a text file to be shared concurrently by two processes due to the risk of overwriting data. In this release, the data required to process FDC batch queries can now be derived from the Payments data model eliminating the use of the BatchGenMap text file. As a result, load balancing of the FDC North servlet is now possible.

3.22.2. Release 12.0.6

3.24.3.1. Review and Manage Accounting Exceptions during Period Close

Companies are constantly striving towards reducing the period close cycle time to finalize the financial statements as early as possible for management and statutory reporting. One of the period close tasks that can take considerable amount of time is resolving the accounting exceptions.

Receivables now provides the new Sweep Invalid Distributions report that shows the details of the accounting exceptions that are holding the period close for review and action. If the amount involved is not material from the reporting perspective and resolving the accounting exceptions is likely to delay the period close then the accounting date of the accounting distributions that have exceptions should be swept to the next open period. Pass manual journal entry in the General Ledger in the current period for the receivable accounting distributions that are swept to the next period.

The new Receivables report is not only useful in creating the manual journal entry in the General Ledger but will also act as a supporting document for audit. In the next open period reverse the manual journal entry and resolve the accounting exceptions.

3.24.3.2. Automate Auto Lockbox Processing

Companies using the Lockbox service receive the data file containing receipt information from the banks at frequent intervals for each bank account that receives payments. These files are processed by the Auto Lockbox programs to import, validate, create and apply receipts. Until now the lockbox processing programs had to be launched manually from the UI for each data file. Receivables now allows these programs to be submitted as standard concurrent requests using the standard Submit Request form.

To further improve productivity, a custom program can be created that scans for the incoming files at regular intervals. When a file is received it can automatically submit the Auto Lockbox programs to process the file.

3.24.3.3. Assign Customers to Unidentified Receipts using API

3.29.10.5. Spain: Spanish Modelo 347 – Legal Changes 2014

The Deferred VAT regime is a regime that suppliers can adhere in order to pay and settle their VAT on Payment date rather than the traditional Invoice date. Only suppliers that do not exceed a total annual turnover of 2,000,000 Euros can adhere to this regime. EBS and Fusion customers, therefore, are mainly recipients (i.e. customers) of said deferred VAT transactions. Therefore, they will have to enter these deferred VAT transactions in Oracle Payables and report them on the Spanish Payables Operations with Third Parties Data Extract (Modelo 347).

A party that is the recipient of deferred VAT regime invoices can have both non-deferred VAT invoices (known as accrual based invoices) and deferred VAT invoices. In the case of non-deferred VAT invoices, there is no change regarding the extraction of data. With regards to the Deferred VAT transactions, only those invoices paid in the declaration year, for the portion paid, must be declared in the Deferred VAT Amount field (i.e. the Amount of Transactions field will not change). Therefore, an invoice entered in December 2014 and paid in January 2015 will only appear in the Deferred VAT Amount field when submitting the 2015 declaration.

The layout for the 2014 reporting has been modified as per legal requirements and following reports are available in support of the changes:

• Spanish Operations with Third Parties Magnetic Format (Modelo 347) • Spanish Verification and Audit Report (Modelo 347).

3.29.10.6. United Kingdom: Local Authority: Impact of Salvage Value on Revaluation Reserve Amortization Basis

Per International Accounting Standard (IAS) requirements when performing salvage value adjustments on a revalued asset that has a revaluation reserve which exceeds the Historic Net Book Value the relationship between the Salvage Value, Historic Net Book Value, and Revaluation Reserve Balance must be maintained to ensure the revaluation reserve amortization does not exceed the Historic Net Book Value on the asset.

As a result, when performing salvage value adjustments on a previously revalued asset, Oracle assets will determine and adjust the revaluation reserve amortization basis as necessary to ensure the Revaluation Reserve Balance does not exceed the Historic Net Book Value on the asset.

4. New and Changed Features in Real Estate Management

4.1. Oracle Property Manager 4.1.1. Release 12.1.1

4.1.1.1. New Lease Statuses

Two new statuses have been introduced for leases. The new statuses are ‘Lease Ordered’ and ‘Signed’. These statuses are available when the lease approval status is ‘Draft.’ When a lease has a status of Lease Ordered or Signed, schedules and items are created for any one-time payments. This allows users to create invoices or make payments from the lease, for terms with frequency of one-time only, before the lease is finalized. Users can use this new functionality for deposits or other payments that may be required before a lease is finalized.

4.1.1.2. Lease Extension Enhancements

When the status is changed to Month-to-Month or Holdover and an extension date entered, the following things will now be done automatically:

• Recurring payment terms that end on the lease termination date will be extended to the new extension date.

• Users can choose to have variable rent and rent increase agreements extended. This is described further in the sections on Variable Rent and Rent Increase enhancements.

• Extensions of terms and agreements can be rolled forward month by month using a new concurrent process.

• The system extends existing normalized payment terms differently depending on the lease status. If the user changes the status from Active to Month-to-Month or Holdover, the system extends a normalized payment term ending on the old lease termination or extension date by adding a new non-normalized term rather than by changing the end date of the existing term. If the lease is later placed back in Active status, the term will be extended by addition of a new normalized term beginning on the amendment commencement date.

4.1.1.3. Tenancy Extension and Contraction

When the user extends or contracts a lease, tenancy records (records on the locations tab of the lease) will be extended or contracted as well, as appropriate.

4.1.1.4. Assignment Occupancy Percent Determined by Attribute on Tenancy

A new field on the lease locations (tenancy) tab, Assigned % Area: determines the % Area value on the Customer Assignment, that is, it will determine what percentage of the location area is occupied by that customer. The default will be 100%

4.1.1.5. Multiple Schedules for Same Schedule Day

Oracle Property Manager can create a new draft schedule, if needed, for a date with an existing approved schedule. This means you can create a new term with the desired schedule day in all cases

Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document Oracle Property Manager 67

4.1.1.6. Prorating the Billing/Payment Amount based on a New Start Day Field

A new field has been added to the Lease form to capture the Year Start Date for Prorating. Based on this field, the Schedule Start Date is determined considering the period in which the Term Start Date falls into.

4.1.1.7. Breakpoint Flexibility

Complete flexibility in setting up line items and breakpoint definitions has been introduced. With this feature, users can:

• Set up complex agreements with changes to breakpoints, rates, breakpoint types, line items, etc., occurring on any date, any number of times over the span of the lease.

• Enter line item and breakpoint details with any start and end date, not restricted to sales year start and end dates.

4.1.1.8. Updating Breakpoints

Users can now change breakpoint definitions at any time, regardless of whether variable rent has been calculated and approved. To respond to amendments or to correct data, users can change most parts of a variable rent agreement. If the changes affect rent that has been approved, the application will create adjusting terms.

4.1.1.9. Natural Breakpoint Enhancements

When the terms that form the basis for a natural breakpoint change, whether because of a rent increase or because a user added or ended a term, the system now automatically recalculates the natural breakpoints. The user can recalculate the variable rent; and if the changes affect rent that has been approved, the application will create adjusting terms.

Users now select terms to form the basis for natural breakpoints using a new attribute on the term, allowing complete control over which terms are to be included.

Users can now have rent increases, selectively, included in the natural breakpoint basis as the increases are assessed.

4.1.1.10. Early Termination of Agreement or Lease

The user can now end variable rent agreements as of any date, either directly or by terminating a lease. The system will perform any recalculations necessary if variable rent has already been paid for affected periods and will create adjusting and/or reversing terms.

4.1.1.11. Extension of Variable Rent Agreements

The user can now extend the length of variable rent agreements, or have the system extend the agreement automatically when a lease is extended. The user also chooses whether to have the system automatically extend the latest breakpoint definitions when the agreement is extended or to manually enter the breakpoint definition detail for the extension period.

4.1.1.12. New Calculation Methods

Two new calculation methods have been introduced for Variable Rent.

• Year-to-Date. The system determines overage by comparing the cumulative breakpoint with the cumulative sales (or other volume).

Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document Oracle Property Manager 68

• True Up. The system calculates variable rent periodically through the year with a non-cumulative method and then does a True Up calculation at the end of the year (or other appropriate period).

4.1.1.13. New Partial Year Calculation Methods

Several new methods (in addition to the existing Standard Proration) have been introduced to calculate variable rent in partial years at the beginning or end of an agreement.

• First Year. A partial first year variable rent is calculated based on the first 12 months of sales, effectively using some sales from the second year as proxy for the missing months in the first year. The resulting rent is prorated based on the actual length of the first partial year.

• Last Year. This is the equivalent of the First Year method, applied to partial last years.

• First Year / Last Year. If this Partial Year Method is selected, both the First Year and Last Year methods will be applied.

• Combined Year with Breakpoint Proration. The first partial year is combined with the second year. For cumulative and year-to-date methods, breakpoints and volumes continue to accumulate for more than 12 months. The breakpoints are effectively ‘annualized’ because the period of breakpoint accumulation matches the period of volume accumulation.

• Combined Year without Breakpoint Proration. The first partial year is combined with the second year. A blended annual breakpoint is calculated for the combined period, converted to a 12-month value. This is used as the basis for breakpoints for all methods. Since the combined year is longer than 12 months, and the sales are accumulated for that longer period, the breakpoint accumulation is not matched to the volume accumulation and the breakpoint is not, in effect, annualized.

• No Proration. The breakpoints are used as entered, without proration. There is no interaction or combination between values in the first partial year and the second year.

4.1.1.14. Month-to-Month Roll Forward of Variable Rent Agreements

If a lease is in Month-to-Month status, the user can choose to automatically extend the variable rent agreement with each monthly roll-forward of the Month-to-Month extension.

4.1.1.15. Enhancement to Cumulative Calculation Method

When the overage rate for calculation of variable rent changes mid-year, accumulation of volume recommences. Breakpoints are prorated to the length of the ‘cumulative cycle’ determined by sales year end dates or rate changes.

4.1.1.16. Allowances and Abatements

There are a number of enhancements related to allowances and abatements. Users can:

• Create multiple allowances with effective dates. • Specify whether allowances or abatements are to be applied first. • Select terms for recurring abatement at the time that agreements are created. • Roll forward recurring abatement selections automatically and have the system

apply abatements automatically as part of the variable rent calculation process. • Enter amounts for ‘Fixed Abatement.’ This is a new type of abatement. A fixed

abatement is an amount entered by the user to be applied as abatement for each

Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document Oracle Property Manager 69

invoice period, much like the system applies the amount of recurring abatement terms each invoice period.

4.1.1.17. Carry Forward of Excess Abatement as Negative Rent

Users can now control through an agreement parameter whether excess abatement amounts are treated as negative rent.

4.1.1.18. Constraints

Users can now set start and end dates for constraints for the life of the agreement rather than setting them up for each year.

4.1.1.19. Updating Volumes

Users can now update previously entered volume amounts through the Variable Rent Gateway, where previously the only way to do an adjustment was by entering an additional volume record (with a positive or negative adjusting amount).

4.1.1.20. Additional Frequency Attribute

The attribute called ‘Reporting Frequency’ in previous functionality determined two different frequencies, which sometimes should have had different values. This attribute has been split into two attributes:

• Calculation Frequency. The frequency with which variable rent is calculated. This was the primary purpose of the former ‘Reporting Frequency.’

• Reporting Frequency. The frequency with which the tenant is required to report volumes. This frequency does not affect calculations but does affect the logic by which the Variable Rent Gateway creates default volume entry rows.

4.1.1.21. Streamlining of Adjustments

Users can now recalculate variable rent at any time, to accommodate for changed volume, breakpoints or other factors. The system will create adjusting terms if necessary. There is no longer a separate adjustment process.

4.1.1.22. Form Enhancements

There have been many enhancements to layouts and navigation, decreasing the number of screens and improving usability.

• A number of multi-row views have been converted to folder blocks to allow for user configuration.

• Drilldowns have been added between the invoice review screen and the line item review screen.

• Multi-row views have been combined on a single screen with a master-detail relationship to reduce the number of screens and present information in a more intuitive layout.

4.1.1.23. Display of Calculation Results

Users can review in detail, on-screen, the calculation that resulted in the variable rent amount, regardless of which method is used for the agreement.

4.1.1.24. Variable Rent Templates

Users may select a variable rent template to populate many of the attributes of a variable rent agreement. This reduces data entry effort and error.

Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document Oracle Property Manager 70

4.1.1.25. Term Template Enhancements

Users can now create, edit and save term templates from within the variable rent agreement. Now, users can maintain a relatively small number of generic term templates to use as the starting point for term detail defaults for variable rent agreements. The user will select a generic term template then, if necessary, make a copy with changes specific to the agreement.

4.1.1.26. Processing by Property

Property has been added as a parameter to the concurrent process for calculation of variable rent so that users can now select agreements by property for batch calculation.

4.1.1.27. Improved Variable Rent Report

An improved report has been introduced for reporting calculated variable rent.

4.1.1.28. Early Termination of Rent Increase Agreements

The user can now end rent increase agreements as of any date, either directly or by terminating a lease. The system will create adjusting and/or reversing items as necessary.

4.1.1.29. Extension of Rent Increase Agreements

The user can now extend the length of rent increase agreements, or have the system extend the agreement automatically when a lease is extended.

4.1.1.30. Month-to-Month Roll Forward

If a lease is in Month-to-Month status, the user can choose to automatically extend the rent increase agreement with each monthly roll-forward of the Month-to-Month extension.

4.1.1.31. Index Multiplier

Users can now specify a multiplier to be applied for rent increases based on an index value. The amount specified is multiplied times the calculated change in the index amount and the rent is changed by the resulting value rather than by the actual index change percentage.

4.1.1.32. Proration

The system will now prorate constraints on rent increase for partial years.

4.1.1.33. Term Length

One compounding rent increase calculation method has been changed so that rent increase terms are created only for the length of the assessment period rather than to the end of the lease. This is appropriate for this method so that users now do not need to manually change the term lengths.

4.1.1.34. Include/Exclude Option

A system option has been introduced that controls how terms are selected to form the basis for rent increases. With previous functionality, all terms of the selected type were selected by default for inclusion and users would deselect terms as appropriate. An organization now can choose whether terms are included or excluded by default. Users will still have complete control at the individual agreement level.

Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document Oracle Property Manager 71

4.1.1.35. Recurring Backbill Terms

An option has been introduced that controls whether backbill terms are created as one-time terms or as recurring terms. If they are created as recurring terms, the transaction date for all resulting schedules is set to the same date, which is the date that the term was approved.

4.1.1.36. Rent Increase Report

An improved report has been introduced for reporting calculated rent increases.

4.1.1.37. Create Operating Expense Agreement

Users can create an operating expense agreement for any lease clause governing the payment of rent based on landlord operating costs or common area maintenance costs. The agreement captures the key aspects of these agreements in a structured way that enables consistent recording of agreements across the portfolio and also supports the consistent and accurate reconciliation and ‘desktop audit’ of landlord reconciliation statements. Aspects of agreements that can be recorded in a structured way include:

• All common ways of determining the pro rata basis for expense recovery, such as occupied area with floor

• Multiple pro rata bases within a single agreement • Administration fees and anchor contributions • Rules governing recovery of different expense groups or pools, within a single

agreement, such as whether a type of expense is subject to fees or cap • All common methods for calculating caps and minimums • Different reconciliation frequencies • Whether rent is subject to tax • Stop amounts • How reconciliation credits can be applied • Standard expense group naming, for cross-portfolio comparisons • Critical date rules, such as audit period and statement and payment due dates • Extensive notes, by category.

4.1.1.38. Enter and Maintain Estimated Payment Terms

If the agreement requires the tenant to make estimated payments based on landlord budgets, the user can create the payment term through the Operating Expense Agreement. Estimated payment amounts are often adjusted by landlords annually or at other intervals. The user can enter new amounts through the Agreement and the system will create the appropriate term, including a catch-up term if needed. A history of the changing amount is thus captured and displayed, with percent change.

4.1.1.39. Reconciliation

Reconciliation is created for each agreement for each reconciliation period. The user can record information from the landlord reconciliation statement and use the reconciliation screens as a ‘workbench’ for doing a desktop audit of the reconciliation statement. Features include:

• Key entry, from the landlord reconciliation statement, of information not available to the user from other sources, such as actual landlord expenses.

• Optional entry of the same items, in an ‘Expected’ column, if the user has information that conflicts with the values presented by the landlord.

Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document Oracle Property Manager 72

• Presentation by the system of information that is known based on the Operating Expense Agreement, previous payments, and prior reconciliations, such as calculated cap amount, agreement fee percentage and amount already paid as estimated payments.

• Optional entry of the same items in the ‘Statement’ column, if the amounts on the landlord statement are not the same as expected.

• Detailed presentation of the operating expense obligation calculation, in side-by-side layout, showing the values from the landlord statement next to the values expected by the user. The calculation includes caps, fees, contributions, occupancy adjustments and stops, pro rata share calculation, and prior payment amounts.

• Presentations of the percent change over the prior period for each expense group, the total landlord expense, and the tenant share of expenses.

• Printable version of the detailed reconciliation analysis with side-by-side comparison.

• Simple creation of reconciliation payment term based on the bottom line of the reconciliation analysis, or simply the payment due amount on the landlord reconciliation statement.

• Flexible expense year dates, or reconciliation period dates, so that reconciliations can be done at irregular intervals if needed.

• Reconciliation notes and direct access to notes related to the agreement and to prior reconciliations.

• Maintenance of critical dates specific to each reconciliation, such as audit period end date.

• Tracking of reconciliation and audit status, and users responsible for each. • Preservation of prior versions of a single reconciliation.

4.1.1.40. Operating Expense Agreement Dashboard

A dashboard presents agreements, reconciliations, and related payment terms that are likely to need attention, based on user-configurable selection criteria. The dashboard also has advanced query capability for searching for agreements, reconciliations and/or payment terms.

Users can select existing objects for view or update, or can initiate creation of new agreements, reconciliations or payment terms from the dashboard.

4.1.2. Release 12.1.3+

4.1.2.1. Business Event Workflow and Status Update

A new business event approval workflow integrated with approvals manager and lease status update is now available. A new approval 'Submitted' status has been introduced to prevent the lease from being updated when the approval workflow has been initiated but not yet approved or rejected.

4.1.2.2. Lease and Terms APIs

Lease and Terms API’s are now available to programmatically convert legacy system leases and update existing leases details and payment terms into Oracle Property Manager.

4.1.2.3. Variable Rent and Breakpoint APIs

The variable rent API’s provide a standard and consistent integration mechanism with customer’s legacy variable rent systems. The API’s provide users with the ability to

Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document Oracle Property Manager 73

create new or update existing variable rent agreements, to generate periods and breakpoints, abatements and constraints for Variable Rent.

4.1.2.4. Index Rent APIs

New Index Rent API’s are available to create new or update existing index rent agreements. Based on parameters provided by the user, the APIs will generate the index rent details and periods for new and existing agreements.

4.1.2.5. Operating Expense Support for Advance Payments

Tenants create payments for operating expenses through the Oracle Property Manager Operating Expense Dashboard to prevent duplicate payments and validate compliance with the operating expense agreement terms. Now they can process one-time advance payments to the landlord for prepaid expenses, such as estimated tax and insurance premiums.

4.1.2.6. Normalization Support for Multiple Amendments and Partial Periods

Property Manager renormalizes lease terms when changes are made using either the edit or amend functions. When users need to amend lease payments mid-month, Property Manager prorates the normalized amount for the partial month using the selected proration rule.

4.1.2.7. Variable Rent Agreement Invoice Date Derivation

A new profile option PN: Variable Rent Billing Date enables you to select the desired logic to derive the billing period start date. This profile option applies only if you select GL Calendar for a variable rent agreement. You can set the profile option to one of the following:

Invoice Period Start Plus 30 Days: This options is the default value and it derives the billing date as the invoice period start date plus 30 days. You can also leave the profile option blank to use this option.

Last Date of Calendar Period: This option generates the billing date on the last date of calendar period.

4.1.2.8. GL Date Derived from Period Name

You have options to derive GL date using the Transfer Normalized Lines to GL concurrent program. Use the default value, Due Date, to derive the GL Date based on the due date of the payment schedule. Optionally, you can select Period Name to derive the GL Date based on the period name associated to the payment schedule.

4.1.2.9. Rent Normalization for Mid-Month Proration

Oracle Property Manager prorates normalized lease payments when the amendment commencement date is in the middle of the month. For example, when your payments are monthly and the lease begins mid-month, Property Manager applies the proration rule you selected in the Details window to prorate the normalized amount for that month.

4.1.3. Release 12.2

4.1.3.1. Override Variable Rent Calculations Client Extensions

The Override Variable Rent Calculation Client Extension provides users the ability to update and/or override the variable rent amount calculated by Oracle Property Manager.
