Bank Statements

Cash Management maintains information for each bank statement you want to reconcile. You can use the Cash Management Bank Statement Open Interface to load bank statement information supplied by your bank, or you can enter and update bank statements manually. The system retains all bank statement information for audit and reference purposes, until you purge it.
Each Cash Management bank statement is composed of one bank statement header and multiple bank statement lines. The bank statement header identifies the statement number, bank account number, and statement date. It also contains optional information including the bank and branch names, bank account currency, and control amounts.
Note: If a bank gives you multiple account information on a single bank statement, you must enter a separate Cash Management bank statement for each bank account, for the specific statement date.
Bank Statement Lines
A bank statement line can refer to one or more payments, receipts, miscellaneous transactions, open interface transactions, or journal entry lines. Each line has a line number, transaction type, date cleared (bank transaction date), and amount. Optional line information includes the bank transaction code, number, bank transaction identifier (such as the payment or deposit number), currency information (currency code, original amount in transaction currency, exchange rate), value date, agent (customer or supplier), agent bank account, a comment, and a descriptive flexfield for user-defined additional information.
A bank statement line's status can be one of the following:
Reconciled: Some transactions have been matched against this line. The statement line may not be fully reconciled.
Unreconciled: No transactions have been matched.
Error: This status is a warning that the line cannot be reconciled because of a bank error in the statement that cannot be resolved. You must manually mark the statement line as Error. The transaction remains unreconciled because there is no corresponding transaction to which the line can be reconciled.
External: The line does not correspond to any transaction in General Ledger, Payables, Receivables, Payroll, or the Reconciliation Open Interface, but corresponds to a transaction in another system. You then manually mark the statement line as External. Cash Management treats it as reconciled.
Bank Statement Error Reconciliation
You can efficiently manage bank errors. You can automatically or manually reconcile correcting statement lines against error statement lines, thereby providing an audit trail you can use to verify correction of bank errors.
For example, if your bank erroneously records a $50 payment as $500, your bank statement may show three statement lines for $500, <$500>, and $50. You can reconcile the <$500> correction against the $500 error statement line, and the $50 statement line against the original payment.
Bank Statement Transaction Codes
Bank statement lines are coded to identify the type of transaction the line represents. Since each bank might use a different set of transaction codes, you need to map each code a your bank uses.

Applying Prepayments to Invoices

You can apply the available amount of Item type distributions from a Temporary type prepayment to one or more invoices to offset the amount you pay on the invoice(s). If you entered the prepayment as a Permanent type and want to apply it, you can query the prepayment in the Invoices window and change the Prepayment Type to Temporary. If you use Automatic Offsets then your setting for the Prevent Prepayment Application Across Balancing Segments Payables option controls whether you can apply a prepayment to an invoice or expense report with a different balancing segment.

Application Utilities Lookups and Application Object Library Lookups

Maintain existing and define additional Lookups for your shared Lookup types. You can define up to 250 Lookups for each Lookup type. Each Lookup has a code and a meaning. For example, Lookup type YES_NO has a code Y with meaning Yes, and a code N with a meaning No. Note: In Releases 11.0 and earlier, there were two Lookup features, Special Lookups and Common Lookups. These two features have been merged into one. The new consolidated Lookups feature has Lookups maintained in this form.

About Bank Reconciliation

The diagram in this section provides an overview of the Cash Management process, from entering bank statements to posting accounting entries to your general ledger. There are two major process steps you need to follow when reconciling bank statements: 1. Load Bank Statements: You need to enter the detailed information from each bank statement, including bank account information, deposits received by the bank, and payments cleared. You can enter bank statements manually or load electronic statements that you receive directly from your bank. (See: Entering Bank Statements Manually and Loading Bank Statement Open Interface ) 2. Reconcile Bank Statements: Once you have entered detailed bank statement information into Cash Management, you must reconcile that information with your system transactions. Cash Management provides two methods of reconciliation: Automatic--Bank statement details are automatically matched and reconciled with system transactions. This method is ideally suited for b...
