Reconciliation

From: Teresa Reynolds teresa.reynolds@ey.com
Date: Fri, 19 Mar 1999 13:33:41 -0500 (EST)

It was hard to understanding exactly what you were doing.....but it sounds like you were manually entering the statement lines. Then you pressed the available button and did the search on the receipt. The search found your receipt, but when you pressed the reconcile button, it didn't reconcile. Okay, I am going to ask the obvious first.....did you check the box to the left of the receipt to select it, before you pressed the reconcile button? Teresa

Hi Teresa,

Yes, I did that. I did exactly what you have described. I checked the check box before pressing reconcile button. After that there is no message on the screen and the surprise thing is that it's working fine with Payments.

Your help is most appreciated.

Statement Upload

From: Warwick Gill [SMTP:WarwickG@langeberg.co.za]
Sent: Tue 16 March 1999 16:50
Subject: Problems with Statement Upload in cash management
Hi I'm having a problem with automatic statement upload. I have written a program using VB to place the details in the bank statement interface tables, and it does this perfectly. When I try to import the statements into the statements table, it always attempts to perform an automatic reconcilliation and errors out. I can view the statement lines but cannot alter any of the lines or reconcile them to cheques or receipts. Any attempt to do this results in the following error:

FRM -40654: Record has been updated. Requery block to see change.

This has really got me stumped. I'd appreciate any input from people who have had the same or similar problems, or even suggestions on how you may think I can get past this. Thanks Warwick

Subject: RE: Problems with Statement Upload in cash management

Hi, 1. The import program (Bank Statement Import) doesn't do any autoreconcilliation even if it looks like it does because of the second program it runs.

2. We got the same error message once. You have loaded nulls into your table that is why you are getting this error message. Try to insert into the interface table very simple data, without any nulls, and see that you can update the data through the interface form. Suzie.



Clearing Account issues

Date: Tue, 23 Mar 1999 09:50:29 -0600
From: monty.free@uslgn.mail.abb.com
Subject: CM: Cash Management Out of Balance

We have posted from A/P to G/L for the first time since manually clearing all of our payments in the Cash Management application. The Transaction- Cash in Transit report from CM shows that all payments are in fact cleared. This would seem to indicate that the Clearing account in G/L should have a zero balance.

However, when we run a Trial Balance and the Account Analysis Report from G/L, the Clearing account has a balance.

We have called a TAR into Oracle Support Germany but have not received a response. We are looking for suggestions on where to look for problems.

Oracle Public Sector Accounting

From: GWRR@aol.com
Subject: Oracle Public Sector Accounting
Date: Tue, 27 Apr 1999 10:00:11 -0400 (EDT)

Hello,
Does Oracle'sPublic Sector encumbrance accounting features in Purchasing and Payables work for you?

My client must record and post the actual expenditure account (in addition to the (expense) encumbrance account) at the time the PO is created. Oracle does not create a transaction for the actual expenditure account until it is invoiced and match in Payables. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, what was your solution?

Also in Payables, my client uses pool cash accounting. One Payables liability and one bank account are used to record and pay Payables invoices. But the client requires that all invoices and payments in Payables also create additional Payables and cash accounts entries by fund along with the origina Payables liability and cash account entries. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, what was your solution?

Thanks, Gwen

Hi
Have implmented OF. Purchasing and AP are Ok & we had to go for Cash Management to reflect transactions until they were cleared by bank. For entries in GL for encumbrance you have to run the Create Journals program. Irrespective of journals, funds are updated online. Hope this may be of some help to you.

From: Oracle - Kathy Farmer oracleadmin@co.scott.mn.us
Subject: RE: Oracle Public Sector Accounting

Regarding the cash pooling requirement. We created a zero-fill cost center to act as our cash pool and chose the automatic offset option of "balancing" in the Payables options. The liability and the cash entries coming out of AP are then specific to each fund, yet by looking at our cash pool cost center with the liability or cash account, we are able to see the total liability and total cash.

So, for example, one liability entry may be Fund 00001. Cost Center 000000. Account.21000 while another may be Fund 00002.Cost Center 000000.Account 21000. By looking at 21000 we are able to see the total liability balance. This also works for our single bank account - the cash entries would be Fund 00001.Cost Center 000000.Account 11000. and Fund 00002.Cost Center 000000.Account 11000.

Two Cash Management tables need to be populated for the Bank Reconciliation Program. They are
a) CE_STATEMENT_HEADERS_INT_ALL
b) CE_STATEMENT_LINES_INTERFACE

for a) we need to populate Statement_number(we can use statement date instead if your bank file doesn't provide the statement number,Bank_account_number :is the Bank Branch account number from where your file is coming, Statement_date(The date of the statement), Org_id(if using multi_org).

for b) we need to populate Bank_account_number(the same number given in the headers table), Statement_number(same as given for in headers table), line_number(if not provided , create a sequence), Trx_date( the date on which the transaction occured ,from the file), Bank_transaction_number(is the cheque_number that needs to be populated).

With this data your program should run.

When I run the available transactions reports in Cash Management it shows voided checks and receipts that were reversed. These will never be reconciled. How do I reconcile or delete these items so they do not show on the report? What I am really after is an outstanding check list.

You can reconcile it against dummy bank statement lines (of types: "Stopped", "Rejected" or "NSF"). Oracle will fix it in 11.5 release. For more information you can check BUG num. 787986.

Cheque No. format problem

mohan murali wrote:
Hi,

This is a cash management and AP question. I issued a check in AP with check number as 09, but AP stripped the preceeding '0' and entered the check number as 9.

I received the bank statement in CM with check number as 09 (This is the number that is displayed on the check). When I try to manually reconcile this transaction, Cash Managment could not find an available transaction with check number '09'.

How to handle this issue? Is this a case for customization or am I missing something in setup?

Your inputs are highly appreciated.

Thanks

Subject: Re: Cash Management!!!!

Hi Mohan,

This is because when you load the data form the bank it gets loaded in the CE Interface tables and the column used for the Check Number in this table is a character column, however the column in AP_CHECKS is a numberic column.

You will need to convert the data in the interface table to a number, then you will not have any problems.

Let me know if you need any help with this I have a script that will fix it every time you load the interface table.

Bank Statement No.

From: tams 019 Oracle Install jmule@mailhost.tcs.tulane.edu
Subject: Simple Cash Management question...

Attention Cash Management gurus:

I have a seemingly simple problem that I can't figure out. When populating the Bank Statement Open Interface tables we need to have the statements go to only 1 STATEMENT_NUMBER (i.e. multiple LINE_NUMBERs for only one statement). In our bank feed we have transactions coming from only 1 bank (also only 1 account number) and the bank file we receive does not have the equivalent of a statement number on it (so I have to generate a bogus one). The problem is: if I attempt to populate the CE_STATEMENT_HEADERS_INT_ALL table with say a '1' for the STATEMENT_NUMBER and the other NOT NULL columns (BANK_ACCOUNT_NUM and STATEMENT_DATE) are also hard-coded values, I get an integrity constraint on the table (duplicate key values). How can I create a SQl*LOADER that allows me have only a single statement number with multiple statement lines (in CE_STATEMENT_LINES_INTERFACE). I've included the current control file I'm using. The users do not like the fact that I populate the tables with multiple statement numbers (i.e. each statement line has a 1-to-1 relationship with the statement header STATEMENT_NUMBER) - this apparently creates a cumbersome situation when they attempt to reconcile.

LOAD DATA
REPLACE
INTO TABLE CE_STATEMENT_HEADERS_INT_ALL

John:

I experienced a similar problem at one of my clients. Our solution was to populate the STATEMENT_NUMBER column with the STATEMENT_DATE or SYSDATE. This way, each successive run of the interface will generate a new STATEMENT_NUMBER. Make sure this value does not include hours, minutes or seconds, though.

You can load the LINE_NUMBER column with the SQL*Loader RECNUM reserved word. This way, each record will be incremented by one.

I am particularly interested in the reply. Some time back, I polled the forum for comments on implementing GL, AP and CM without AR.

If not, iwhere can we get info on the tables in CM that have to be populated from the GL deposits?

I hope these questions get answered in the dialog that follows.

Subject: RE: Bank Reconcilliation without AR and Cash Management

Hi,
Journals entered in the GL account which is defined as the Cash account of the specific bank account, are available for reconciliation on the CM side. There is no need to transfer anything to the CM. The CM "looks" for available transaction in the subledgers (AR, AP) and in the GL (the cash account). For technical information (tables, views) you can use the TRM (Technical reference manual) and for setup and processes issues, the user manual of the CM can be helpful.

Regards, Suzie.

Subject: Re: Integration of Cash Management with AR and AP

Hi,
First if u have AR installed u have an option of performing the clearing in AR or in CE. The benefit is if u have CE the reconciliation can also be done there which is not possible in AR If u do not have AR and are going to implement only AP and CE it will not affect much.But to inform u something important, u cannot reconcile direct deposits to the bank. Plus u also cannot reconcile Bank Charges because there's nothing called "Missleaneous Payments" in AP so u need to enter a negative receipt in AR Thus u do need a shared install of AR atleast. IF not then u can treat bank charges and Direct deposits or transfers as cleared by default.
