How to sweep AR (Receivables) transactions that are in accounting error in Oracle EBS 12.1 or 12.2

In the second part of 2015 I came across with a new functionality available at that time for Oracle Receivable EBS release 12.2.x and just made available for release 12.1.x in 2016.

This functionality was known for Oracle Payables module but not for Receivables. I'm sure most of you will be happy mainly if you have struggled in the past to close Receivable accounting period on time but due to various accounting errors that was not possible. As workaround you closed period in pending status until fix was found.

AR sweep functionality is now available only for transactions that are in accounting error (xla_events table - fields event_status_code = U and process_status_code = I) and can be enabled after below patches are applied.
- For Release 12.1, the Manage Exception Functionality is available through Patch 22482346, and in the FEB-2016 RPC Patch 22471504.
- For Release 12.2, it is available through Patch 16634326.

If you are interested how to enable it and how it work feel free to take a look to below demo.

How to update Supplier bank or Supplier bank branch details in Oracle EBS R12?

I’m sure you will find this demo very useful as it’s showing the correct way to update supplier bank and supplier bank branch details in Oracle EBS Release 12x. In many occasions I saw users creating new bank and/or branches due to lack of knowledge, training or access.

Instead to update or correct the existing banks and/or branches users will create new ones that in fact means duplicated information in your database and later on your will pay a lot of effort to clean you master data.

When a new supplier Bank or Branch will be created this information will be shared and visible together with all Banks or Branches created during the Internal bank accounts setup. This is way any implementation/upgrade should have a strict process in place to manage and keep a clean list of banks and branches.

Overview of Oracle EBS R12.2 Bank Payment Acknowledgement Processing in Payments Module

 

In this post I'm showing the EBS Payment Acknowledgement functionality delivered by Oracle starting with Release 12.2, or higher.

To prepare this demo I have used Oracle Support note 1493240.1 - R12.2: Bank Payment Acknowledgement Processing in Oracle Payments/Payables.

I have found this new functionality very useful as in my past projects we identified as a gap the payment acknowledgement process when the bank messages were handled outside EBS (by email) or by a custom solution (custom tables to store bank messages and custom reports to be published to business users).

Payment Acknowledgement functionality is about to load and display in EBS the bank processing status for each of your supplier/employee payments after successful transmission of the payment file to your bank.

Starting with release 12.2 a standard API is available to load acknowledgement file but the load of files to EBS database and call of API is subject of additional development.

From a setup point of view only Bank Acknowledgement Code Setup is required as your bank status codes should be mapped to ISO statuses provided by Oracle Payments:

• Accepted technical, syntactical and profile; passed to back office          (BACKOFF)
• Accepted back office; passed to clearing          (CLEAR)
• Accepted with change   (ACCC)
• Pending further processing        (PEND)
• Rejection          (REJECT)

From EBS process point of view this functionality will just show to you the bank status of your payment but will NOT:

• Void/change EBS payment status in Oracle Payments/Payables 
•  Impact bank reconciliation process in Cash Management

View end to end demo about EBS Payment Acknowledgement functionality delivered by Oracle starting with Release 12.2, or higher. 

For this demonstration I have used the E-Business Suite 12.2.4 VM Virtual Appliances provided by Oracle Software Delivery Cloud
