Looking at the R12 changes to Cost Management, I found that they fall into the following
categories: accounting, integration with other modules, costing, reporting, accruals, periodend, and data architectural changes. Lets start off with one of the biggest changes, the
accounting for cost of goods sold (COGS).
Accounting
Cost of Goods Sold Recognition
In R12, Oracle linked the revenue cognition with the COGS Recognition. If you do not recognize
revenue when you ship an item then you should not recognize the cost of goods. This requires
the Cost Management module to first book COGS to a deferred account when an item is
shipped and then reverse the deferral when the revenue is recognized. When the revenue is
recognized is based on revenue contingency rules that can either be entered into OM or can be
apply when they are imported into AR.
For example, if your customer takes title of the item when they receive the item, rather than
when you ship the item, then you will need to incorporate the delivery time into your revenue
recognition rule. Oracle Revenue Management allows you to create rules to defer for a set
number of days. This rule can be associated with an OM line or a customer ship-to site. When
the set number of days have elapsed, then Oracle Receivables when book the revenue. Cost
Management gathers this information and will book the cost of goods entry.
Now there are now two flows in the COGS recognition. The first flow, the shipping and invoice
flow, starts with the shipment of the item and books the deferred revenue and COGS. The
second flow, the revenue and COGS recognition flow, starts with the release of the revenue
contingency and books the revenue and COGS. In R12, all shipments will go through these two
steps even if there isnt a revenue rule.

In R12, there are three new modules that integrate with Cost Management Subledger
Accounting, Oracle Process Manufacturing, and Landed Cost Management.
The integration with Subledger Accounting changes the flow of the journal entries from
Inventory, Receiving, and WIP. The Create Accounting program will use the material and
receiving transactions and WIP distributions to create journal entries. When you look in the
General Leger, you will see that journal entry source also change to Cost Management. There
have been two changes since the initial release of R12. In R12.1.1, Oracle moved the
accounting rules for the Global Accounting Engine to Subledger Accounting and in R12.1.2,
Oracle created a new program to allow you to upgrade historic transactions and generate
journal entries in Subledger Accounting. These upgraded journal entries will not be sent to the
General Ledger.
When Oracle moved the Process Manufacturing module functionality into the standard discrete
manufacturing inventory module, the Cost Management need to extend its functionality to
handle the new transactions.
In R12.1.1, Oracle introduced the Landed Cost Management Module to allow you to incorporate
other types of costs into your item cost. To handle the new transactions, Cost Management
need to extended
Enhanced Integrations
With new R12 enhancements to Work in Process (WIP); Enterprise Asset Management (EAM);
Inventory; and Shop Floor, Cost Management need to be enhanced to handle these new
transactions.

Cost Rollup
If you use the Bill of Materials module, R12 has changed the program used to perform a cost
roll-up. The new program is called Supply Chain Cost Rollup. In additional to this new program,
R12 also changed the Cost Rollup reports
Old Program/Report
Periodic Costing
R12 introduced several enhancements to periodic costing. These enhancements include:
Reporting
In R12, Oracle created new inventory value reports. These reports now can be run using an
as-of date. If you enter an as-of date, the inventory value will display the inventory value
up to that date. These new reports are:

* The Inventory Master Book Report was created to meet the Italian and Chinese legal
reporting requirements.
Accruals
Architecture Changes
Architectural changes in the Financial suite have been incorporated into Cost Management.
These changes include a change to operating unit to legal entity relationships, the introduction
of Multiple Organization Access Control, and the introduction of invoice lines in Accounts
Payable.
