Changes:

Please consider the R12 changes in P2P Accounting process.

there are some differences between 11i and R12.

1. Exchange rate Variance account is having an impact.

2. Automatic Accrual Write off, when SLA changes made.

Order to Cash

Multi period accounting changes in receivables as well.

so dont say no changes between 11i and R12.
