Oracle Financials Cloud: Payables and Expenses 2025 Implementation Professional Advanced Practice Exam: Hard Questions 2025

A global enterprise uses a single Procurement BU and multiple requisitioning BUs. They want supplier sites to be shared broadly, but they must prevent Payables invoice entry from selecting supplier sites that are not valid for the invoice’s business unit and legal entity. They also need to keep a single supplier master. What is the best configuration approach?

During implementation, invoices imported via FBDI are failing validation with "No default distribution" for many suppliers even though the supplier sites have default distribution sets. The failures occur only when the invoice is imported without a supplier site (site is blank) and only supplier is provided. Online entry works because users select the site. What is the most appropriate solution that preserves control and minimizes manual intervention?

A company needs invoice approval routing to depend on (1) the requester’s cost center (from the invoice distribution), (2) the invoice amount, and (3) whether the invoice is matched to a PO. They also need different rules for intercompany suppliers, and the solution must be maintainable without frequent technical changes. Which approach best meets the requirement?

An imported invoice matched to a PO fails validation with a quantity variance, even though the PO quantity was fully received and the invoice quantity equals the receipt quantity. Investigation shows the receipt was created in a different UOM than the PO (conversion exists), and the invoice is in a third UOM. What is the most likely root cause and best corrective action?

A customer reports that some invoices remain in "Needs Revalidation" after an account combination is inactivated. They updated the account, revalidated the invoices, and validation succeeds, but invoices still fail at accounting with an error indicating an invalid account on a tax distribution line. The invoice lines appear correct. What is the best troubleshooting approach?

A Shared Service Center receives supplier invoices where a single invoice line must be allocated across multiple cost centers with a statistical split that varies by month. They also need the allocations to be auditable and repeatable for both manual entry and FBDI imports. What design best balances control, auditability, and operational efficiency?

A company wants to implement cash advances in Expenses with these constraints: advances must be tied to a planned trip, unused amounts must be automatically cleared when the expense report is submitted, and overages should create an additional payable to the employee. They also need to prevent employees from submitting expense reports against advances after the trip end date plus a grace period. Which configuration approach best meets these requirements?

After implementing Expense Report approvals, users report that approvals are skipping required approvers for reports containing project-related expenses. The organization uses Project Costing and requires project manager approval when a project/task is charged, regardless of the employee’s supervisory hierarchy approval. What is the most appropriate design to ensure the project manager is always included without duplicating approvals for non-project expenses?

A multinational company uses Payments to pay suppliers in multiple currencies from a single payment process request. They want the system to select the correct bank account based on payment currency and legal entity, but also to prefer a local account when the supplier site is flagged as "In-country only." What is the best architecture to achieve this with minimal manual intervention?

A customer’s month-end close is delayed because Create Accounting for Payables is taking too long and sometimes produces inconsistent results when rerun after partial failures. They run accounting for very large volumes and use approval and holds extensively. What is the best expert-level approach to stabilize and optimize the accounting process while maintaining auditability?
