Greetings fellow professionals,

Welcome you all for another presentation on the feature Bank Account Transfer (BAT) from Cash
Management Module. I never really thought this feature is difficult to work with, considering the
reference materials that were provided by oracle in the form of white papers and user guides,
however many questions began to arose when I started hands on activity on this feature in detailed
manner.
I decided to share the knowledge I have gained by working on this feature to others.
Take your time in going through the presentation and please point out mistakes that are available in
the document, so that one can have better and correct understanding of this feature and no one
gets misguided.
Honestly I never thought exploring a simple feature like BAT would take this many pages ..
during my earlier presentations I used to struggle in order to fill pages, whereas now I am finding it
extremely difficult to cut down on the number of pages, looks like all are relevant in one way or
another However I am very much sure that I would have left many areas unexplored as well.
Please fire your feedback to the Author and the Site Administrator at ivruksha@gmail.com
Regards,
Ivruksha

Introduction
Bank Account Transfer (BAT) is a new feature in Cash Management module in Release 12 version
and a welcoming one too. Bank Account Transfer is a very genuine business scenario in any
organization that owns more than one internal bank account; however there was no direct solution
provided by oracle in the standard set of financial modules in previous versions i.e. 11i.
Since this was a new feature, the understanding was not there to begin with many consultants and
clients. This document is to share my understanding of this feature to everyone.
What is Bank Account Transfer?

It is a process of transferring funds from one bank account to another owned by the same
Organization. (Same Organization does not mean Same Legal entity; here I referred the
Organization in the context of Company as a whole) The importance of this business scenario is far
less as it is not a transaction with third party entities like Suppliers or Customers; it is a transaction
that would be recorded in the companys books of accounts and banks books of accounts / Pass
book. Since this is an internal transaction between banks owned by the same organization, the level
of attention which it gets is far less when compared to other transactions.
How Bank Account Transfer was done in 11i?

In 11i, the cash management module did not have the capability of recording any transactions; hence
the bank account transfer was recorded in other modules.
The most common way was to use Receivables module, where two miscellaneous receipts were
created, one with negative amount and another with positive amount and recorded using appropriate
receivable activities.
Also, if every bank is represented by unique account code combination Manual Journal entry in
General Ledger was the other workaround which was followed..
There have been extreme cases where Banks are created as suppliers and customers, followed by
invoices getting created and payments/receipts getting recorded against those invoices to complete
the cycle were also followed.
(Note: In 11i, Inter Account Transfer feature from Oracle Treasury Module was able to meet the
requirement, however considering the license cost of the Module for a feature, this remain
unused/unexplored in 11i)

Version 1.0
Modules involved in Bank Account Transfer

Following are the modules that are involved in bank account transfer at various stages,
Oracle Payments Payment processing is taken care by Oracle Payments Module

Subledger Accounting Journal entries are created by SLA
Cash Management Internal Bank Accounts are created in Cash Management
User Management Security Roles are provided to the Legal Entity
System Administrator Responsibilities, Profile Option, User Name Creation
Oracle General Ledger Entries transferred to General ledger as a whole.
Types of Bank Accounts

From Oracle e business suite perspective, bank accounts are basically classified in two categories, i.e.
Internal and External whereas External Bank Accounts are further classified in to Supplier Bank
Accounts and Customer Bank Accounts.
1. Internal Bank Accounts refer to the bank account that is owned by the
Client/organization
2. External Bank Account
i. Supplier Bank Account refers to the bank account that is owned by the
supplier/vendor who is transacting with the Client/Organization
ii. Customer Bank Account refers to the bank account that is owned by the customers
who is transacting with the Client/Organization
In this presentation we are speaking about funds that are getting transferred between Internal
Bank Accounts only, that are owned by our Organization
Types of Bank Account Transfer

The Bank account transfer can be classified on various basis,
A) On the basis of Legal Entity,
1. Intra Company Transfers It refers to transfer between two internal bank
accounts within the same Legal Entity
2. Inter Company Transfers It refers to transfer between two internal bank
accounts between two different legal entities
www.ivruksha.com
Page 6
Version 1.0
B) On the basis of Currencies,

1. Domestic Transfers It refers to transfer where currency of both the bank
accounts and transaction currency is same.
2. International Transfers It refers to transfer where currency of one bank account
is same as the transaction currency, but the currency of other bank account is
different.
C) On the basis of Settlement,
1. Settlement in Cash Management It refers to transfer which is settled in Cash
Management Module
2. Settlement in Oracle Payments It refers to transfer which is settled through
Oracle Payments Module.
My View Why there is no Need for Bank Account Transfer in Oracle

E Business Suite
Even though Bank Account Transfer feature was not available in earlier release (11i and earlier) on
the Cash management module, I never really saw many clients making a big fuss about its nonavailability, which tell us that this type of transaction is not a bigger deal in most of the organizations
who were using the financial modules. (Needless to say, there would be exceptions)
I was thinking from business perspective as to why at all one would need to perform a bank account
transfer in first place, what is wrong if they did not do so ?
The most common reason for performing a bank account transfer in to facilitate the organization in
making payments by making sure sufficient balance is available in the bank accounts that are often
used for payments.
Now the next question is what is wrong if one failed to do the above task?
If the bank account used for making payments does not have sufficient balance, one cannot make
payments in the system (Not referring to system used by bank) as from any (logical) internal system
used for making payment the basic expectation is that a restriction should be placed which would
prevent the user from continuing further when there are no funds available for making payment.
Few systems even have the capability to prompt the user to make use of an Overdraft account
instead of the regular bank account, when the balance is insufficient for making a payment.
The above consequences may not happen in Oracle E Business suite during payment, since oracle
payables does not check for the available balance for a bank account while making a payment. So
when such a restriction is not built in oracle payments there is no compulsion for one to record such
a transaction in the system. Hence Bank Account Transfer is not required at all for the above chain
of thought.

Version 1.0
Bank Account Transfer Process

The process followed for Bank Account Transfer is not a fixed one for all scenarios; it varies based
on the values used while creating the bank account transfer. I have considered the various
possibilities which could cause a change in the process based on the input that can be provided and
classified in to the four categories below:
Category 1 - Bank Account Transfer Process When Settlement is done in Oracle Cash
Management and does not require Authorization
In this category below process is being followed by the system,
BAT status is New >> Data entry is done for Bank Account Transfer and Saved >> BAT Status is
New >> Validate the BAT >> BAT Status is Settled
Category 2 - Bank Account Transfer Process When Settlement is done in Oracle Cash
Management and requires Authorization
New >> Validate the BAT >> BAT Status is Validated >> Authorize the BAT >> BAT Status is
Settled
Category 3 - Bank Account Transfer Process When Settlement is done in Oracle Payments
and does not require Authorization
New >> Validate the BAT >> BAT Status is Settlement in Process >> Complete the Payment
Process Request >> Generate Payment Instructions >> BAT Status is Settled
Category 4 - Bank Account Transfer Process When Settlement is done in Oracle Payments
and requires Authorization
New >> Validate the BAT >> BAT status is Validated >> Authorize the BAT >> BAT Status is
Settlement in Process >> Complete the Payment Process Request >> Generate Payment
Instructions >> BAT Status is Settled

Version 1.0
Different Statuses available for a Bank Account Transfer

Continuing from the above section, the status of Bank account transfer gets changed based on the
actions that are taken on them, below is the list of available status for a bank account transfer,
STATUS
New
Validated
Settlement In
Process
Settled
Canceled
Invalid
Rejected
Failed
EXPLANATION
This is the very first and default status for every Bank Account transfer.
Until a BAT is validated, it would stay in New Status.
When Authorization is required for BAT, Validating the BAT would
change the status from New to Validated.
When settlement is done in Oracle Payments, till the steps required to be
completed in Funds Disbursement Process Manager is due, the status of
the BAT would be in this status.
When there is no Authorization required for BAT and settlement happens
in Cash Management, validating a BAT would change the status to this
status.
For BAT with Authorization and settlement happens in Cash
Management, performing Authorization would change the status from
Validated to Settled.
For BAT with Authorization and settlement happens in Oracle Payments,
printing the payment instruction in Funds Disbursement manager would
result in this status.
BAT has been canceled
BAT did not pass through the validations stated by the system, as a result
the status is Invalid, and one can update the BAT with necessary
corrections and revalidate it.
When the Authorization of BAT is rejected.
When the BAT is settled through Oracle Payments, the data is transmitted
from Cash Management to Oracle Payments automatically, if there is any
issue during such process the status would display as Failed.
How to Create a Bank Account Transfer

Assuming you have completed all the pre-requisite setups required for performing the bank account
transfer, we would see the steps that are involved in creating a Bank Account Transfer in Cash
Management,
Step 1 Decide whether you want to settle your Bank Account Transfer through Oracle Payments
or not, based on that provide the Value for the field Settle transactions through Oracle Payments
Step 2 Enter the date of performing the transfer, this should be the date that is open in the GL
calendar for your ledger.
Step 3 Enter the amount that is going to be transferred
www.ivruksha.com
Page 9
Version 1.0
Step 4 Select the Source Bank and Destination Bank

Step 5 If the settlement is done through Oracle Payments, provide value for Payment method
Step 6 Validate your Bank Account Transfer
Step 7 If Authorization is required for the Bank Account Transfer, perform Authorization, else
skip this step.
Step 8 If settlement is done through Oracle payments, complete the Payment Process Request and
generate the Payment Instructions. If settlement is done in Cash Management, skip this step.
Step 9 Bank Account Transfer would now be in settled status.
Step 10 Clear/Reconcile the cash flows created by Bank Account Transfer
Step 11 Create Accounting for the Cash Flows and Transfer to General Ledger
Using Payment Template for creating Bank Account Transfer

Payment template provides you with an option of entering all (excluding Transfer Date) the details
required for performing a bank account transfer and save it as a template, which can be used at the
time of creating a bank account transfer saving considerable amount of data entry work and avoid
mistakes during data entry. If an organization has multiple internal banks and the frequency of bank
account transfers are relatively high, one can create multiple payment templates with all possible
combination of internal bank accounts. The Payment Template screen looks very much similar to
the bank account transfer screen; hence most of the fields that require data entry are selfexplanatory. Payment templates are an optional configuration and not mandatory.
Payment Templates can be classified in two based on the value entered in the field Repetitive Code,
When Repetitive Code is YES for a Payment Template
If the value is selected as Yes, you cannot change the Source Bank and Destination Bank details
at the time of creating the actual bank account transfer transaction. This would prevent the users
from making modification to the bank details.
When Repetitive Code is NO for a Payment Template
If the value is selected as No, you can change the Source Bank and Destination Bank details at
the time of creating the actual bank account transfer transaction. Users are allowed to change the
bank details before submitting the Bank Account Transfer.
I was thinking, what is the purpose of having a payment template with Repetitive Code as NO, since
if you are going to change the Source and Destination bank account for your transfer all the time, it
is much better to create the transaction directly than using payment template. Also creating a
payment template for bank account transfers which are of one time in nature and does not recur in
future may not result in any benefits.
www.ivruksha.com
Page 10
Version 1.0
Authorization of Bank Account Transfer

Authorization process in Bank Account Transfer does not involve any workflow design or
hierarchical chain for approvers; it is a simple manual process which any user can do, if access to
that Function is available in the responsibility accessed by the users.
Whether to perform Authorization for all the Bank Account Transfers or not depends on the base
configuration done for the Cash Management Module i.e. in the System Parameters screen.
In the System parameters form, under the Cash Management Transactions tab and Bank Account
Transfers region, you would see a field called Authorization, if the value is set as required all the
bank account transfers would go through the process of authorization, if the value is set as not
required authorization would not be required.
However there is another configuration at the Cash management that overrides the values stated in
the System parameter screen, which is the Payment Template Configuration. Irrespective of the
value you state in the System Parameter screen, the bank account transfer would look for values
stated in the payment template for authorization field, when the bank account transfer is done with
the use of Payment Template. I.e. even at the system parameter level your configuration may require
authorization, however if your payment template says No for authorization, the bank account
transfer transaction will not require authorization.
Authorization is an optional configuration and not mandatory.
How to Cancel a Bank Account Transfer

The condition for cancelling a bank account transfer depends on the status of its related Cash flows.
One can cancel the bank account transfer as long as the Cash flows are in Created status, which
means they are not cleared or they have been cleared already and later uncleared. Unless the status of
both the cash flows turns to Created status, the cancel option will not be enabled in the screen.
A Bank Account Transfer which is Settled, Invalid, New, and Validated can be canceled provided if
the cash flows are not cleared. Similarly, you cannot cancel the BAT which is in the status of
Settlement in Process, Rejected, and Canceled. Cancelling a bank account transfer would remove the
associated cash flows from the bank account transfer transaction.
If Bank Account transfer settlement is done through Oracle payments, cancelling the bank account
transfer will not cancel the Payment process in oracle Payments. This has to be take care separately.
I.e. Users should switch to Oracle Payments and manually make sure the payment process is voided
or cancelled from continuing further.
Cash Transaction Subtype

This is an optional configuration. I havent really seen the purpose and usage of this setup during my
simulations, hence not sure on its impact on the bank account transfer. From what I understand,
there seems to be no validation related to this configuration, if you define and use a cash transaction
www.ivruksha.com
Page 11
Version 1.0
subtype in your bank transfer, there is no additional process or steps that is required to be
performed. Oracle says, it helps in categorizing cash flows for reporting purposes.
Possible Business Scenarios related to Multi org environment

The design of the Bank Account transfer is purely dependent on the Legal Entity ownership of
every bank account. Oracle has said bank account transfer can be done for bank accounts within
Legal Entity and between Legal Entities, now the question which arises is that how about the
Ledgers, Business Groups pertaining to those Legal entities, can they vary as well or should they
remain the same for Source and Destination bank account. There is no documentation available to
my knowledge to get this clarified, hence I decided to find it myself by performing the transactions
with all possible combinations, the results confirm that one can perform transfer between Legal
Entities irrespective of the Business Group and Ledger it belongs to, there is no restriction being
imposed by the system.
Following scenarios were tried and were completed successfully in the system,
One Business Group > One Ledger > One Legal Entity
Transfer between two bank accounts that belong to the same legal entity is performed.
One Business Group > One Ledger > Two Legal Entities
Transfer between two bank accounts, each belong to different legal entity is performed
One Business Group > Two Ledgers > Two Legal Entities
Transfer between two bank accounts, each belong to two different legal entity and two different
ledgers is performed
Two Business Group > Two Ledgers > Two Legal Entities
Transfer between two bank accounts, each belong to two different legal entity, two different ledgers
and two different business group is performed
www.ivruksha.com
Page 12
Version 1.0
Possible Business Scenarios related to Currencies

There are seeded validations available in the system that would prevent the Bank Account Transfer
if the currency used for the Transfer, Source Bank Account and Destination bank account
combination is not acceptable. I have done few simulations and captured the results in below table
for your reference .
Source Banks
Source Bank Destination
Destination

I could extend my simulations to multiple permutations and combinations, however all of it would
get covered under the below thumb rules,
1) Transfer Currency should be either in the Source Bank Accounts Currency or Destination
Bank Account Currency.
2) At least One Currency of the Bank Account (Source Bank or Destination Bank) should
match with the Ledger Currency and the remaining bank accounts currency should match
with Transfer Currency.
3) If the functional currency is USD, a bank account transfer cannot take place between
accounts which are denominated in EUR and JPY.
4) You cannot create any transfer between two non-functional (ledger) currency bank accounts.
Accounting impact on Bank Account Transfer

In earlier version (11i), Oracle Cash Management module does not generate any accounting entries
by itself, clearing and reconciliation happens in Cash management which results in accounting
www.ivruksha.com
Page 13
Version 1.0
entries in payables or Receivables but not in cash management module. Cash management was not
seen as a transaction recording and processing module earlier.
However in Release 12, due to introduction of bank account transfer, accounting is now possible in
Oracle Cash Management as well.
For every bank transfer transaction, there would be two set of accounting entries that would be
generated by Oracle Cash management,
1) Accounting entry for Cash Outflow in the Source Bank
2) Accounting entry for Cash Inflow in the Destination Bank
Accounting entries are created only when the bank account transfer cash flows are cleared and
uncleared. There are no accounting entries generated by the system when the BAT is created and
cancelled.
The account codes that are used by the system for the Bank account transfer are picked up from the
Intercompany, Intracompany and Bank Account configuration automatically; users cannot provide
or key in the account codes manually during run time.
Since the account codes are picked up from the configuration directly, there is no user intervention
happening in between, what if one would want to change the code combination not all the time,
but say for a specific transaction
You should either depend on creating an ADR for such a scenario or pass a manual Subledger
journal entry in cash management.
Apart from Bank Account Transfer, Subledger Accounting feature in Release 12 made the possibility
of creating a manual Subledger journal entry in Cash Management Module, which was not possible
in the earlier version (11i). I.e. one can create a manual journal entry similar to that of general ledger
journal in Cash management module and transfer that entry to the General ledger, this way the
adjustments performed at the Subledger have a clear visibility.
For Example,
Due to an incorrect configuration Bank account transfer might have resulted in an incorrect
accounting entry, to fix this you can either cancel the transaction and redo it, or pass a manual
journal entry which would nullify the effect of incorrect entry and pass the values correctly.
Setup Checklist for Bank Account Transfer

1) Access to Cash Management, User Management, Oracle Payables, Funds Disbursement
Process Manager, system administrator and General ledger responsibilities are required
2) Login credentials of SYSADMIN is required for performing configuration in User
Management responsibility (adding this responsibility to your login will not help, either you
need to have access or System administrator should grant this role to your user name)
3) Create Multi Org setup(BG, Ledger, Legal Entity and Operating unit)
4) Setup Intracompany Balancing rules for your Ledger and Legal Entities

(Required only if settlement is done using Oracle Payments)
10) Define Transaction Subtype in Cash Management (Optional)
11) Define Payment Template in Cash Management (Optional)
Descriptive Flexfields available in Bank Account Transfer

There is a single Descriptive flexfield that is available for Bank Account Transfer and it is displayed
in the bank account transfer creation screen. There is nothing special about this DFF, it does the
same role as any other DFF in the application, which is to capture additional information required
by business and does not perform any validation.
However during my testing, I found that the payment template screen does not display the DFF,
hence if you want to create a payment template for your Bank account transfer with DFF values it is
not possible. You have to provide value for the DFF always at the Run time i.e. when creating the
actual bank account transfer transaction. The behavior is very similar to the Transfer Date field.
Profile Options available for Bank Account Transfer

There is a single profile option available in relation to bank account transfer which is "CE: Bank
Account Transfers". This profile option has two seeded values available for selection i.e. Cash
management and Treasury.
This profile option defines where the cash transfers will be created as a result of the cash pool
activity. If you choose Cash Management, then the cash transfers created by the cash leveling or
ZBA sweep activity will be created in Cash Management using the Bank Account Transfer
framework. If you choose Treasury, then these cash transfers will be created in Treasury using InterAccount Transfers (if both bank accounts belong to the same legal entity) or Intercompany Funding
transactions (if bank accounts belong to different legal entities)
Standard Reports available for Bank Account Transfer

There is no dedicated report made available for Bank Account Transfer in Cash management,
considering this is a new feature provided in release 12; I strongly feel few reports should have been
www.ivruksha.com
Page 15
Version 1.0
made available as a standard fit. May be in future releases we may expect, till such time the
implementation partners can continue to charge the clients for creating one more custom report!
Few reports which can be related to other areas of Bank Account transfer are tried in the Demo
section available for your reference.
I did not see any concurrent programs available specifically for performing bank account transfer.
Explanation of fields available in Bank Account Transfer Creation

Screen
Field 1 - Settle Transactions through Oracle Payments
The value stated in this field decides whether Bank Account Transfer needs to be processed in
Oracle Payments module or not. We need to understand why at all such an option was given to
users first, why oracle cant decide on a best business practice and make it as a seeded process.
By involving Oracle Payments module,
The money paid out of the Bank is considered as just another payment transaction and
recorded.
Payment Instruction generated by Oracle payments could be sent to bank electronically or
manually.
Beneficial to clients where volume of Bank account transfers are considerably less
Number of steps that require user intervention is more
Processing time is on the higher side
By NOT involving Oracle Payments module,
User intervention is minimized
When client has huge volume of such transactions, processing each and every transaction
might prove to be a massive task, in which case Client can opt out of Oracle Payments
Module for completing the transfer process.
If Client has not purchased Oracle Payments module for usage.
The payment instruction or intimation to bank happens outside oracle, in which oracle has
no control or integration.
Field 2 - Transaction Subtype
This field is used for reporting purposes; it does not perform any validation on the transaction. Any
value that is defined under the Transaction Subtype in cash management would get displayed in the
list of values and available for user selection.
Field 3 Payment Template
This field is used for defaulting entire data that is required to perform a bank account transfer. One
can create a payment template for transactions that are recurring in nature, so that it saves time in
www.ivruksha.com
Page 16
Version 1.0
creating such transfers. A Payment template is a replica of bank account transfer screen along with
few additional fields which will capture all required information for performing the transfer and
store it for future usage any number of times.
Field 4 Status
This field displays the current state of the Bank Account Transfer transaction. There are various
statuses through which bank account transfer passes through in order to get completed; this field
helps us in identifying the current status of the transaction.
Field 5 Transfer Date
This is the date on which Bank Account Transfer would happen. Since Cash Management module
does not have a period open and close concept on its own, this date refers to the GL Period.
Field 6 - Currency
This is the transaction currency on which bank account transfer is performed.
Field 7 - Transfer Amount
This is the amount that is being transferred between bank accounts.
Field 8 Comments
This is a free text field, one can type any data; can be used for identifying the purpose of transfer etc.
Field 9 - Bank Account Number
It represents the Bank account Number of Destination and Source Bank
Field 10 - Bank Account Name
It represents the Bank account Name of Destination and Source Bank
Field 11 - Branch Name
It represents the Bank branch Name of Destination and Source Bank
Field 12 - Bank Name
It represents the Bank Name of Destination and Source Bank
Field 13 - Legal Entity
It represents the Bank account owner of the Bank Account related to Destination and Source Bank
Field 14 - Payment Method
When settlement happens in Oracle Payments, one needs to provide the payment method to
determine whether the payment would be made electronically or in printed manner.
www.ivruksha.com
Page 17
Version 1.0
Field 15 - Payment Reason

This represents the Payment reason that is defined in the Payment Administrator. From purpose
perspective, I did not see any validations being performed around this during transaction processing.
Field 16 - Payment Reason Comments
It is another free text field, where you can type any data.
Field 17 - Anticipated Value Date
This field indicates the anticipated date when the funds will reach the destination bank account
Field 18 - Bank Charge Bearer
The available options for this field are Payee, Payer, Pays Express Charges and Shared. In the event
of bank charging the Source or Destination bank for the transfer or settlement, selecting the above
option would determine who would bear such charges.
Field 19 - Remittance Message 1
This is another free text field, which may be used to send any message or instruction to the bank
Field 22 - Context Value
This field would open up the descriptive flexfield configured for the Bank Account Transfer.

Explanation of fields in Payment Template

This is very similar to the Bank account transfer screen; hence to avoid duplication I have taken up
fields that were not available in the Bank Account transfer transaction screen.
Field 1 Template Code
This is the name of the Payment Template that is going to be created.
Field 2 Repetitive Code
If the value is yes, the source and destination bank is mandatory and once created, the same cannot
be modified at the time of creating the bank account transfer. If the value is No, one would be able
to modify all the attributes stated in the payment template while creating bank account transfer.
Field 3 Authorize Transaction
If the value is yes, the bank account transfer would require to be authorized manually before
settlement.
If the value is No, the bank account transfer does not require authorization or we can say that it is
automatically authorized.
Field 4 Settle Transaction
If the value is Yes, Oracle payments would be used for processing the payment for settling the
transaction
If the value is No, settlement happens directly in Oracle Cash management.
Field 5 Description
This is a free text field, does not have any validation built in.

Troubleshooting
One of the major reasons why people regret opting for oracle application is the time that is being
spent on troubleshooting an issue towards its resolution. I am not getting in to further details on
this, however before you reach out to oracle support for help do make sure you ask these questions
to yourself:
1) Have you encountered this error for the very first time?
2) If it is for the first time, what got changed from last time, was there any new configuration,
update to existing configuration, application of patch etc ..?
3) Does the error encountered all the time or only for selected cases?
4) Were you able to find the difference between the transaction which gets completed
successfully and the selected cases which is resulting in error?
5) If there are multiple environments like Development, CRP, Training, Testing etc, does the
error happens in all environments or is it specific to any particular environment?
6) Have you followed the steps stated in the user manual for recording the transaction?
7) Have you checked Oracle support repository to confirm whether the issue you faced has
been already reported to some other customer or not, or could it be a known issue for which
fix may be readily available?
Once you decided to approach oracle support make sure you have all this information on hand
before creating a service request:

References from Oracle Documentation related to Bank Account

Transfer feature that I am unable to understand!
Reference 1
Document Reference - R12 White Paper on Bank Account Transfer for Oracle Cash Management
(Doc ID 1276861.1)
Explanation provided by Oracle,
For the field Authorize Transaction in the payment template screen, oracle states that
Authorize Transaction: Indicates whether this specific funds transfer requires approval in Oracle
Applications. This value can be overridden when you create the actual bank account transfer.
What I am unable to understand is,
How can I override the value for this field at the time of creating the actual bank account transfer,
since when you actually create the bank account transfer, the screen does not have a field available
or displayed for Authorization. From the knowledge I have gathered, Authorization is based either
on the System Parameter configuration or on the Payment Template configuration, one cannot
change this value at the run time.
May be I am having an older interface or screen, may be it is available in the new version of
oraclenot sure!
Reference 2
Document Reference - Bank Transfer Between Two Non Functional Currency Bank Account
(Doc ID 782819.1) and User Guide.
Explanation provided by Oracle,
As per the above document reference (Doc ID 782819.1),
However we don't allow right now as in the Bank Transfer screen we don't ask for Exchange rates
anywhere. As such we will not know the amount in functional currency for which the debit and
credit needs to be made. This is the main reason why we don't allow transfers if one of the currency
is not functional currency. If we need to allow the transfer of currencies other than functional
currencies we will need to make changes in the UI and also ask for Exchange Date, Exchange rate
type and the Exchange Rate. Once we have this we need to make changes in the code to make sure
that if different currencies are involved then we multiply by this exchange rate to arrive at the
amounts in functional currency.
As per the Oracle User Guide, explanation to the System Parameter configuration section,
Exchange Rate Type: Bank Statement Cashflows and Bank Account Transfers
programs select the exchange rates for the transaction currency using the exchange
rate type you specify. You can choose any exchange rate type defined in Oracle
General Ledger
What I am unable to understand is,
User Guide states, System Parameter has a place where one could set the Exchange rate type and
which would be considered by Bank account transfer performed in Cash Management, whereas
www.ivruksha.com
Page 28
Version 1.0
Oracle Support documentation states, since we dont ask exchange rates anywhere, we are not
allowing transfer between two non-functional currencies. Can you see the contradiction in both the
statements .?
Why cannot BAT make use of the Exchange Rate type configuration and pick the values accordingly
so that we can perform bank account transfer between any banks irrespective of currencies
limitation without any need to modify the User Interface of bank account transfer.
(The above may hold good for Corporate exchange rate, however if users wants to enter his own
rate in the screen like a spot rate, then User Interface needs to be modified for capturing such
information)
Reference 3
When you define a payment template, you can see a labeled text stating If used as a repetitive
code enter the code provided by the bank here.
What does oracle mean by Code provided by Bank? I am not sure about its relevance, still
researching on it.

Page 29
Version 1.0
Questions that might arise

I am unable to select the bank accounts in the Bank Account Transfer screen?
One needs to setup the UMX Security for the Legal entity to allow Bank Account Transfer
transaction. This needs to be done from the User Management Responsibility.
I have cancelled my Bank Account Transfer by mistake can this be undone?

No you cannot undo a cancel action. The only workaround which you can follow is to Duplicate the
cancelled BAT and make modifications as required.
Can I validate a Bank Account Transfer that has been already validated?
Validate icon is not enabled for a BAT all the time; it is enabled only when the bank account
transfers is in the status of New or Invalid
Can I Update a Bank Account Transfer at any point of time?

Update icon is not enabled for a BAT all the time; it is enabled only when the bank account transfer
is in the status of New, Validated, Invalid, or Rejected.
New Bank account created under a different legal entity is not available under the Source or
Destination bank account fields LOV in the bank account transfer screen. What could be
wrong?
If you have not configured Cash Management for your Legal entity, oracle would prevent displaying
such bank accounts belonging to that legal entity.
Why is that I am able to select the same bank account at the Source bank field and also at
the destination bank account field as well, it does not make sense why system allows such a
possibility
I agree as well, this might have been fixed in the recent versions, I havent had chance to work on
the most updated file versions to comment on this.
Which is the better option to choose from, i.e. settlement using Cash management or oracle
payments?
www.ivruksha.com
Page 30
Version 1.0
Select Settlement using Cash management, when the bank account transfer is made by the bank
already and you are going to simply capture it in the system for record purposes.
Select Settlement using Oracle payments, when a check needs to be issued from one bank account
and deposited in another bank account
Should one go through all these pain, if source and destination bank share the same chart of
account value for account segment for cash account since from accounting perspective
there is actually no difference.
It purely depends on the company and its operational convenience, there is no mandate that one has
to record the bank account transaction details in order to generate accounting entries. You can
directly create a manual Subledger accounting entry in cash management or in General ledger, if
transaction details are not required. Having transaction details would help you keep track of
transfers and trace back in case of any issue.
What is the point in authorizing the transaction, when it exists in the same responsibility
it just looks like an additional step
If you have a super user access, i.e. all menus, submenus and functions are available to you, in which
case performing Authorization as a separate step may not be any use. If you have Authorization
required for your Bank Account Transfer, then you must make sure separate responsibilities are
created to differentiate between the prepares of bank account transfer and the approvers of bank
account transfers.
When settling a bank account transfer through oracle payments, one need to manually enter
the Payment process profile in the Funds disbursement process manager responsibility, is
there way to automate this action?
As of now, it cannot be automated. It is the intended design. I agree it would be really helpful to
have additional field at the Payment Template or the Bank Account Transfer screen where the input
can be provided so that all further steps purely depend on system processing activity and not for
user inputs.
I would expect oracle to provide a link between the Payment Method and payment process profile
with reference to bank account transfer. Since for a BAT which settles through oracle payments we
are forced to provide a payment method, similarly they can provide an additional field for payment
process profile and make it mandatory OR, while defining the payment process profile we should
have an option to link it with the payment method and state this profile is used for BAT purposes
only, therefore upon selection of payment method, system should pick the relevant ppp
automatically . Its just my theory we might not know... How many millions lines of codes need
to be written to achieve it
www.ivruksha.com
Page 31
Version 1.0
What happens when I cancel my Bank account transfer before the cash flows are cleared
the accounting entries of creation and cancellation event are not enabled for accounting,
in that case would there be any journal entries created?
No, there wont be any journal entries created in the system when a transaction is cancelled even
before creation of journal entries for bank account transfer transaction.
I have uncleared the Cash Inflow related to the Bank Account Transfer, now the status of
the Cash Inflow is changed to Created status, however I am unable to Cancel the Bank
Account Transfer since the icon is not in enabled status
You have to unclear both Cash Inflow and Cash Outflow in order to cancel a Bank Account
Transfer. The cancel icon would get enabled only when the status of both the flows are in Created
status.
I have cleared the Cash flows (both inflow and outflow) mistakenly, hence I have uncleared
it, because of which system has generated accounting entries which reversed the original
entry created at the time of clearing the bank account transfer cash flows. What needs to be
done now?
Accounting entries for bank account transfer gets created whenever the Cashflows are cleared or
uncleared, and not at the time of creation or cancellation, which is the intended design. Hence the
ideal step which you need to perform is to clear the Cash flows which would re-generate the original
accounting entries.
Till what point one can unclear the cash flows related to the Bank Account Transfer, is there
a restriction in place?
From my test cases, what I have seen is system allows one to unclear the Cashflows even when the
accounting entries are generated and transferred to general ledger and also the period was closed.
Hence I would say there is no restriction; you can do it any time which sounds like a flaw to me.
Why is that even after create accounting program is run, some of my cash flow status are
displaying as partially accounted. Is this an issue with the accounting entries generated?
This is not an issue or bug; it is an intended design of the product. Since creation and cancellation of
bank account transfer is not eligible for accounting, system displays such a status in your front end
screens but it is nothing to worry about.
Is there any accounting that is generated during reconciliation of cash flow?

www.ivruksha.com
Page 32
Version 1.0
No, entries are created only at the time of clearing and unclearing and not during reconciliation .If
reconciliation happens for an uncleared Cashflow, yes it would generate entries, else for a cleared
transaction no entries are created upon reconciliation
Is there a concept of online accounting available in Cash management module?

Not to my knowledge
How to modify or configure the sequence numbers that is getting generated for Bank
Account Transfer number field?
It is a system generated number based on cache size, which is also used by Oracle Payments; hence
this cannot be changed or defined by users.
Can one cancel the BAT which is Cleared and Reconciled with the Bank Statement?
You cannot, you have to first Unreconcile the transaction this will turn the status of the cash flow
status from Reconciled to Created (not cleared), and once the status becomes created the cancel icon
would be highlighted in the bank account transfer for you to cancel the BAT if required.
Is there a workflow that is available for configuration for the Authorizing the bank account
transfer?
No, there is no workflow, no hierarchical relationship when it comes to authorizing bank account
transfer. Any person who has access to the function Authorize Bank account transfers can
perform this activity.
Is it necessary that I need to complete all basic setups required for Payables Modules as
well, if I am making BAT settlement through Oracle Payments?
No, it is not necessary, components required for BAT settlement are payment process profile,
payment format (XML publisher template), which can be configured even without implementing
Oracle Payables.
On what basis one must decide which program to be run i.e. Create printed payment
instruction or Create electronic payment instruction in the Funds disbursement process
manager responsibility?
www.ivruksha.com
Page 33
Version 1.0
Based on the Payment Process Profile configuration, selection of the payment instruction is done.
Should I clear my Cashflows first before reconciling it with my bank statement, or I can
clear the Cashflow after reconciliation, what is the sequence one should follow?
Even though Clearing and Reconciling are two different activities, reconciling a transaction would
also perform the clearing activity but not the vice versa.
You cannot clear your Cashflows after reconciliation, since reconciliation step would have taken care
of your reconciliation activity.
If reconciliation is done later, and you want system to generate accounting entries for the bank
account transfer in which case you have to perform the clearing of cash flows in cash management.
Can the person who authorizes the bank account transfer also make modifications to the
bank account transfer transaction?
A Bank account transfer authorization is a completely separate function from bank account transfer
update, hence even though you may have authorizing level access, but you are not allowed to make
any update to the transaction.
When the settlement is through Oracle Payments, should I wait till the status of the BAT
changes from Settlement in Process to Settled, since the payment department might take a
day or so to complete their payment related activities from Funds Disbursement
perspective, which is delaying the accounting aspect of BAT thereby resulting in incorrect
view of books of accounts?
You need not wait; BAT can be accounted even when the status is Settlement in Process. Only for
BAT that are settled in cash management the status needs to be changed to Settled prior to creating
journal entries.
Why there is a limitation from oracle whenever we do Bank Transfer Between two Non
Functional Currency Bank Account?
Oracle says, functionally there is no reason why the bank transfer should not be allowed to be made
from one account to another account if the bank accounts have the same currency (different than
the functional currency). However we don't allow right now as in the Bank Transfer screen we don't
ask for Exchange rates anywhere. As such we will not know the amount in functional currency for
which the debit and credit needs to be made. This is the main reason why we don't allow transfers if
one of the currency is not functional currency. If we need to allow the transfer of currencies other
than functional currencies we will need to make changes in the UI and also ask for Exchange Date,
Exchange rate type and the Exchange Rate. Once we have this we need to make changes in the code
to make sure that if different currencies are involved then we multiply by this exchange rate to arrive
www.ivruksha.com
Page 34
Version 1.0
at the amounts in functional currency.
Are there any Config urations related to Bank Account Transfer that cannot be deleted?
Cash transaction sub types once created cannot be deleted or end dated. It can be Inactivated.
Payment template once created cannot be deleted or end dated. It can be Inactivated.
Can you delete a Manual Journal entry created in Cash Management?

Irrespective of the Module, you can delete the Manual Journal entry when it is in the status of Draft,
Incomplete or Error.
Does the bank account transfer has any impact on oracle payables and oracle receivables
modules?
No it does not; in fact you need not implement Oracle payables or Oracle Receivables in order to
make use of the Bank Account Transfer functionality in cash management.
Why do we have a Subledger period close exceptions report available in cash management
when cash management does not have any dedicated periods to open or close?
Earlier in 11i, cash management module does not used to record any transactions on its own or
create accounting entries, hence having a dedicated period open and close feature like all other
Subledgers was redundant. However in release 12, introduction of bank account transfer has
enhanced the scope of cash management module, now it is recording transactions and creating
accounting entries as well, oracle should have considered to have dedicated period open and close
logic for cash management now.
Even though such logic does not exist at present, you can still run this report to identify transactions
that are in Invalid status. I tried closing a period in GL for which in cash management I had an
Invalid item, GL period was closed with Warning status, however period close program
automatically fired Subledger period close exceptions report which displayed open items in cash
management resulting out of bank account transfer. There is an indirect impact of having invalid or
error or items with exceptions in Cash management, in order to finding out such transactions and
fixing them, we can make use of this report.
Is there a way one can fix the ceiling on the amount that can be transferred, say maximum
limit per bank account transfer?
No, one cannot perform this through bank account transfer screens. I highly doubt maximum outlay
and Maximum payment options from Bank account configuration can be of any help in our case,
need to test this possibility.
