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.
