Payables Workbenches
Oracle Payables includes two fully integrated workbenches, the Invoice Workbench and the Payment Workbench. You can perform most of your transactions in Payables using the Invoice Workbench or the Payment Workbench. You enter, adjust, and review invoices and invoice batches in the Invoice Workbench. You create, adjust, and review payments and payment batches in the Payments Workbench.
Payables workbenches let you find critical information in a flexible way. For example, in the Invoice Workbench, you can find an invoice based on supplier, purchase order number, status, or other criteria. Then, for that invoice, you can review distributions, scheduled payments, payments, holds, and other detailed invoice information. You can also perform matching, submit invoice validation, apply and release holds, or initiate payment. You can query an invoice then perform several transactions without having to find the invoice again. You can also keep multiple windows open at one time.

Oracle Applications is installed on the servers of a company and every user from the CEO down to a factory staff is given a user name and password. They use their browsers to connect to the servers in their LAN and typically get a menu called responsibilities to choose from. Once they choose their responsibility, accordingly they get another menu of functions they can perform. For example if it is a Purchasing user, he may be able to create RFQs (Request for quotations), Purchase Requisitions, Purchase Orders, Receive material etc. Hence whatever that is happening at the factory ground needs to be entered in a particular form in APPS. If something is not right, APPS will not allow the process to flow further. Hence mistakes will be arrested at each step.
