There is a whitepaper as well as a viewlet on AGIS. Refer to Note 418649.1 :Advanced Global Intercompany (AGIS) in Release 12 (R12) - Setup, Transaction Processing and Reports.

3. Can I enter foreign currency transactions in AGIS ?

Yes , you can enter foreign currency transactions in AGIS.
Please refer to Note 755617.1 How to enter AGIS  inter company transaction with foreign  currency.

4.  How does AGIS create AR Standard invoices and Credit memos in subledgers for AGIS transactions ?

AGIS will determine whether it is a standard invoice or Credit memo based on the initiator intercompany clearing Account after the recipient approves the transaction .
     
In the following scenario, an AR Standard invoice will get generated from AGIS :
If the Initiator intercompany Clearing line has either a positive debit or a negative credit amount, then the system will create a Standard invoice in AR.
In the following scenario, an AR Credit memo will get generated from AGIS  : 
If the Initiator Intercompany Clearing line has either a negative debit or a positive credit amount, then the system will create a credit memo in AR.

5. Does AGIS support AME Supervisory level Approval process ? 

Yes, AGIS support AME supervisory level approval process .
Enhancement request ER 6995183 Implemented.

6. Can AGIS generate clearing accounts based on AGIS Transactions types ?

Yes, you can generate clearing accounts based on AGIS transactions types . 
For more information please refer to the AGIS User Guide ->Default Accounts rules setup in Subledger accounting for intercompany 

7. What data gets populated in the Reference columns in the GL, AR, AP Interface tables for AGIS Transactions ?

From table GL_INTERFACE you can find the following :
  • REFERENCE22 Stores FUN_TRX-BATCHES (BATCH_ID) 
  • REFERENCE23 Stores FUN_TRX_HEADERS(TRX_ID) 
  • REFERENCE24 Stores FUN_DIST_LINES(DIST_ID) 
From table RA_INTERFACE_LINES_ALL  you can find the following :
  • INTERFACE_LINE_ATTRIBUTE1 Stores FUN_TRX_BATCHES(BATCH_ID) 
  • INTERFACE_LINE_ATTRIBUTE2 Stores FUN_TRX_HEADERS(TRX_ID) 
  • INTERFACE_LINE_ATTRIBUTE4 Stores AGIS Batch number
From table AP_INVOICES_INTERFACE  you can find the following 
  • INVOICE_NUM Stores FUN_TRX_HEADERS (AR_INVOICE_NUMBER) 
  • GROUP_ID         Stores FUN_TRX_HEADERS (TRX_ID)
From table AP_INVOICE_LINES_INTERFACE you can find the following:
  • LINE_NUMBER  Stores  FUN_DIST_LINES(DIST_ID)

8. Why does the Reconciliation Report not show TAD defined Clearing Accounts ?

Currently the Reconciliation report fetches the reconciliation clearing Accounts information based on the table ''fun_inter_accounts_addl'' (This table was introduced in 12.1.1 onwards. Prior to 12.1.1, clearing accounts were obtained from the table ''fun_inter_accounts'').
So TAD defined Clearing Accounts information would not be stored in any of these tables. Hence, TAD Clearing accounts will not appear in the reconciliation report .

9. Why do manual journals clearing Accounts lines appear on the AGIS Reconciliation report ?

If any manual journal has been posted to the Intercompany Clearing Accounts, then those transactions will appear on the AGIS Reconciliation report .

10. Can the system automatically assign AR payment terms to an AGIS invoice?

Yes, the system automatically assigns AR payment terms to an AGIS invoice in the following order:
  1. Customer bill-to site level 
  2. Customer account level 
  3. Customer level transaction type 
  4. Default value '4'
For credit memos the payment term is always ''Null''

11. How can I troubleshoot AGIS Workflow?

Please refer to Note 785167.1 Advanced Global Intercompany Troubleshooting AGIS Workflow Whitepaper.

12. How can I troubleshoot AGIS Accounting?

Please refer to Note 813397.1 Troubleshooting AGIS Accounting.

13. How to interpret the status column in FUN_TRX_HEADERS in order to know the exact status of the transaction?

Status column in FUN_TRX_HEADERS would display different values depending on the status of the transactions. Status column shows the following values depending on the intercompany transaction status
  • APPROVED
  • COMPLETE
  • ERROR
  • NEW
  • RECEIVED
  • REJECTED
  • SENT
  • XFER_AP
  • XFER_AR
  • XFER_INI_GL
  • XFER_RECI_GL

14. How to reflect the status XFER_INI_GL and XFER_RECI_GL in FUN_TRX_HEADERS?

Statuses XFER_RECI_GL and XFER_INI_GL populate only if the transaction is between the balancing segment values assigned to the legal entities of two different ledgers, i.e. if the transaction is across ledgers.
  • If the initiator first submits the program Transfer intercompany transactions to general ledger, then status is first displayed as XFER_INI_GL and then it changes to complete when recipient also submits the program Transfer intercompany transactions to general ledger.
  • If the recipient first submits the program Transfer intercompany transactions to general ledger, then status is first displayed as XFER_RECI_GL and then it changes to complete when initiator also submits the program Transfer intercompany transactions to general ledger.
  • If the transaction is between the balancing segment values assigned to legal entities of a single ledger , then you will not be able to see the statuses XFER_RECI_GL or XFER_INI_GL in fun_trx_headers. Status changes from approved to complete.
