Overview of Bank Account Model
In previous releases, AP owned banks, bank branches, and bank accounts. Such bank accounts could also be used by AR. Payroll, and Treasury, however, had their own bank account models.
In Release 12, in the new model shown on your screen, Banks and Bank Branches are created as Trading Community Architecture parties. The bank accounts are associated with Bank Branches but reside within the Cash Management application. During the bank account creation, you are able to define in which applications this bank account can be used.
Setting Up for Reconciliation
Before you set up Cash Management, you should set up Oracle Application responsibilities and users for the implementation.
Cash Management provides three responsibilities: Cash Management, Bank Reconciliation, and Cash Forecasting.
It uses data from Oracle General Ledger, Oracle Payables, Oracle Payroll Oracle Receivables and Oracle Treasury for bank statements reconciliation;
It uses information from Oracle General Ledger, Oracle Order Management, Oracle Payables, Oracle Payroll, Oracle Purchasing, Oracle Projects, Oracle Sales, Oracle Treasury, and Oracle Receivables for cash forecasting.
You must perform certain setup steps in these applications before you can use Cash Management with them.
Reconciliation
Enter the detailed bank information manually or electronically.
Reconcile these information with your system transactions manually or automatically.
While reconciling, you can create miscellaneous transactions for bank-originated entries and manually enter payments and receipts.
You can manually or automatically clear payments, receipts, open interface and miscellaneous transactions before reconciliation to maintain current cash account balances.
After reconciliation, review the Bank Statement Detail, Bank Statement Summary, and Bank Statement by Number Reports.
You can post the accounting entries to your general ledger. You can reconcile your general ledger cash account balance to your bank account balance in Cash Management by printing the GL Reconciliation Report.
Reconciliation: Integration
Oracle Cash Management shares functionality with Receivables, Payables, Payroll, Treasury, General Ledger, and other external systems.
Cash Forecasting
Cash Forecasting is a planning tool for anticipating business cash inflow and outflow so that you can protect your cash needs and evaluate your liquidity position.
Cash Positioning
Cash Positioning is a planning tool for viewing your daily cash position by currency or bank account to protect your cash needs and evaluate your liquidity position. The daily cash positions are based on actual cash flows from various Oracle applications. You can generate a daily cash position from a single or multiple currencies, bank accounts, and legal entities.
Cash Pools
Cash pooling is a Cash Management technique for optimizing bank account balances at one or several banks. It is usually performed daily, by transaction, or by total net end-of-day balances.
If your cash position includes cash pools, generate a cash leveling proposal. The cash leveling proposal is calculated online based on the sub account target balances and transfer amount calculation rules.
For notional cash pools and physical cash pools with bank initiated sweeps, use the cash leveling proposal to approximate the projected closing balance of the concentration account, so that the investment or funding decisions could be made from the concentration account based on the projection.
For physical cash pools that do not have bank initiated sweeps, generate Intercompany Funding Transactions and/or Inter-Account transfers from the cash leveling proposal. These transfers can then be included in the payment file and sent to the bank through Oracle Treasury.
