How do you evidence Oracle Licences purchased ?

Till a few years ago, Oracle used to provide us a Licence Order Form detailing the licences purchased.

Apparently, for the past few years, the only evidence of the Licences purchased has been in the
actual Invoice -- and this invoice, in my organisation, goes direct to the Finance Dept, even
if seperate groups/OUs have purchased licences.

Although the purchaser does send me information on the CSI which he receives from Oracle Support,
and I enrol myself as the MetaLink administrator for that CSI, this, in my opinion wouldn't be
adequate evidence of the products and Licence quantities [Users or Processors] purchased.
[Printing the "List Licences" listing from MetaLink doesn't help as quantities aren't presented -- in
fact a recent purchase of EE + RAC + Partitioning just showed up as seperate "Oracle Enterprise Edition"
entries, without the actual Option and the Processor counts].

So my question is, if seperate groups within your organisation purchase Oracle Licences, how do
you get evidence of the Products and Licence Quantities and actual file *paper evidence* of it ?
