The CE_BANK_ACCOUNTS table in Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) 12.1.1 or 12.2.2 is a critical repository for storing bank account information within the Cash Management module. It serves as the foundation for managing bank accounts, facilitating transactions, reconciliations, and integration with other financial modules such as Accounts Payable (AP), Accounts Receivable (AR), and Treasury. Below is a detailed summary of its structure, functionality, and significance in Oracle EBS.

Table Overview

The CE_BANK_ACCOUNTS table stores comprehensive details about bank accounts registered in the system. Each record represents a unique bank account, whether internal (owned by the organization) or external (owned by customers, suppliers, or partners). The table is part of the CE (Cash Management) schema and is central to financial operations, ensuring seamless integration with other Oracle modules.

  • BANK_ACCOUNT_NAME: A user-defined name for the account, aiding in easy identification.
  • CURRENCY_CODE: Specifies the account's currency, critical for multi-currency transactions.
  • BANK_ID: Foreign key linking to CE_BANKS_V, identifying the bank where the account is held.
  • BRANCH_ID: Foreign key referencing CE_BANK_BRANCHES, specifying the bank branch.
  • ACCOUNT_TYPE: Classifies the account (e.g., Checking, Savings, or Credit Card).
  • STATUS: Indicates whether the account is Active or Inactive.
