The PN_OPEX_RECON_ALL table in Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) versions 12.1.1 and 12.2.2 is a critical data structure within the Property Manager (PN) module, specifically designed to support operating expense (OPEX) reconciliation processes. This table stores transactional and reconciliation data related to lease operating expenses, enabling organizations to track, allocate, and reconcile expenses between landlords and tenants accurately. Below is a detailed analysis of its purpose, structure, and functional relevance in Oracle EBS.

Purpose and Functional Context

The PN_OPEX_RECON_ALL table serves as the backbone for operating expense reconciliation workflows in Oracle Property Manager. Operating expenses (OPEX) in lease agreements often include costs such as maintenance, utilities, property taxes, and insurance, which landlords pass through to tenants based on lease terms. This table captures the detailed breakdown of these expenses, reconciliation statuses, and adjustments, ensuring compliance with lease contracts and accurate financial reporting.

Key Columns and Data Structure

The table comprises several columns that facilitate OPEX reconciliation:
  • OPEX_RECON_ID: Primary key identifier for each reconciliation record.
  • LEASE_ID: References the lease agreement (PN_LEASES_ALL) associated with the expense.
  • PERIOD_ID: Links to the accounting period (GL_PERIODS) for which the expense is recorded.
  • RECON_STATUS: Indicates the reconciliation status (e.g., "Pending," "Approved," "Rejected").
  • ACTUAL_AMOUNT: The actual expense incurred by the landlord.
  • TENANT_SHARE: The portion of the expense allocated to the tenant.
  • ADJUSTMENT_AMOUNT: Captures any manual adjustments made during reconciliation.
  • CREATION_DATE and LAST_UPDATE_DATE: Audit columns tracking record creation and modification timestamps.

Integration with Other Modules

The PN_OPEX_RECON_ALL table integrates with several Oracle EBS modules:
  • General Ledger (GL): Reconciled amounts are posted to GL for financial reporting.
  • Accounts Payable (AP): Vendor invoices for OPEX are sourced from AP.
  • Accounts Receivable (AR): Tenant billings generated from reconciled expenses flow into AR.

Business Process Flow

  1. Expense Capture: Landlord records actual OPEX in the system, which populates PN_OPEX_RECON_ALL.
  2. Reconciliation: Expenses are matched against lease terms (e.g., expense caps, pro-rata shares) to calculate tenant liabilities.
  3. Adjustments: Discrepancies are resolved via manual adjustments, logged in ADJUSTMENT_AMOUNT.
  4. Approval Reconciled entries are approved, triggering AR invoice generation.

Technical Considerations

  • Multi-Org Support: The "_ALL" suffix denotes multi-org visibility, with ORG_ID segregating data by operating unit.
  • Indexing: Key columns like LEASE_ID and OPEX_RECON_ID are indexed for performance.
  • API Dependencies: The table is manipulated via Oracle's Public APIs (e.g., PN_OPEX_RECON_PKG) to maintain data integrity.

Customization and Extensions

Organizations often extend PN_OPEX_RECON_ALL with custom columns (e.g., ATTRIBUTE1-15) to capture additional data. Workflow notifications may also be configured to automate approval processes.

Conclusion

The PN_OPEX_RECON_ALL table is a pivotal component in Oracle EBS Property Manager, ensuring accurate OPEX reconciliation between landlords and tenants. Its structured design, integration capabilities, and alignment with lease accounting standards make it indispensable for real estate and facility management operations. Understanding its schema and workflows is essential for implementing, customizing, or troubleshooting OPEX processes in Oracle EBS 12.1.1 and 12.2.2.
