The AR_Tables.html file in Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) 12.1.1 or 12.2.2 pertains to the Accounts Receivable (AR) module's underlying database tables, which are critical for managing customer transactions, invoices, receipts, and related financial data. Oracle EBS AR is a comprehensive subledger that integrates with the General Ledger (GL) and other financial modules, ensuring accurate financial reporting and compliance. Below is a detailed breakdown of key AR tables, their purposes, and their relationships in Oracle EBS.

1. RA_CUSTOMERS

This table stores customer master data, including customer names, addresses, and contact details. It serves as the foundation for all AR transactions. Key columns include CUSTOMER_ID, CUSTOMER_NAME, and CUSTOMER_NUMBER. The RA_CUSTOMERS table links to other transactional tables like RA_CUSTOMER_TRX and AR_CASH_RECEIPTS.

2. RA_CUSTOMER_TRX

This table records invoice and debit/credit memo transactions. It contains critical fields such as CUSTOMER_TRX_ID, TRX_NUMBER, TRX_DATE, and AMOUNT_DUE. The table integrates with RA_CUST_TRX_LINE_GL_DIST for accounting distributions and AR_PAYMENT_SCHEDULES for payment tracking.

3. AR_PAYMENT_SCHEDULES

This table tracks payment due dates, amounts, and statuses for invoices. Key columns include PAYMENT_SCHEDULE_ID, CUSTOMER_TRX_ID, DUE_DATE, and AMOUNT_DUE_REMAINING. It is central to aging reports and cash flow analysis.

4. AR_CASH_RECEIPTS

This table stores receipt information, including cash, checks, and credit card payments. Columns like CASH_RECEIPT_ID, RECEIPT_NUMBER, and AMOUNT are essential. It links to AR_CASH_RECEIPT_HISTORY for application details against invoices.

5. AR_ADJUSTMENTS

This table records manual or automated adjustments (e.g., discounts, write-offs) applied to invoices. Key fields include ADJUSTMENT_ID, PAYMENT_SCHEDULE_ID, and AMOUNT. Adjustments impact the AR_PAYMENT_SCHEDULES table by updating the remaining balance.

6. RA_CUST_TRX_LINE_GL_DIST

This table holds accounting distributions for invoice lines, linking transactions to GL accounts. Columns like CUST_TRX_LINE_GL_DIST_ID, CODE_COMBINATION_ID, and AMOUNT ensure proper financial posting. It integrates with GL_INTERFACE for journal entries.

7. AR_TRANSACTION_HISTORY

This table logs changes to transactions (e.g., updates, reversals) for audit purposes. It includes TRANSACTION_HISTORY_ID, CUSTOMER_TRX_ID, and STATUS, providing a trail for compliance and troubleshooting.

8. HZ_CUST_ACCOUNTS

Part of Oracle's Trading Community Architecture (TCA), this table stores customer account data, linking to RA_CUSTOMERS. It supports complex customer hierarchies and relationships.

Integration and Workflow

These tables interact seamlessly within Oracle EBS. For example:
  • An invoice created in RA_CUSTOMER_TRX generates distributions in RA_CUST_TRX_LINE_GL_DIST.
  • Payments in AR_CASH_RECEIPTS update AR_PAYMENT_SCHEDULES.
  • Adjustments in AR_ADJUSTMENTS reflect in aging reports.

Conclusion

The AR_Tables.html file provides a structural overview of Oracle AR's data model, emphasizing transactional integrity, auditability, and integration with GL. Understanding these tables is essential for customization, reporting, and troubleshooting in Oracle EBS 12.1.1 or 12.2.2 implementations.
