Overview

The CE_PROJECTED_BALANCES table is a core data repository within the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) Cash Management (CE) module. It is responsible for storing the projected cash balances for internal bank accounts, which are a fundamental component of an organization's cash position analysis. The table's role is to serve as the system of record for forecasted balances derived from various sources, such as open receivables, payables, and manual cash forecasts. This data is critical for treasury operations, enabling cash managers to perform liquidity analysis, make informed funding and investment decisions, and ensure sufficient cash is available to meet upcoming obligations. Its existence is central to the module's functionality for projecting future cash flows and maintaining an accurate, forward-looking view of corporate liquidity.

Key Information Stored

The table's primary purpose is to associate a projected balance amount with a specific bank account and a point in time. While the full column list is not detailed in the provided metadata, the structure is defined by its primary and foreign keys. The unique identifier for each record is the PROJECTED_BALANCE_ID, which serves as the primary key. The most critical foreign key is BANK_ACCOUNT_ID, which links each projected balance entry to a specific internal bank account defined in the CE_BANK_ACCOUNTS table. Typical columns in such a table would include fields for the balance date, the projected balance amount (often broken down by currency), the source type of the projection (e.g., 'RECEIVABLES', 'PAYABLES', 'MANUAL'), and the associated cash forecast header identifier. This structure allows the system to maintain a detailed history and composition of projected balances.

Common Use Cases and Queries

This table is primarily accessed for cash position and forecasting reports. A common business use case is generating a daily projected cash balance report for all key bank accounts over a future period. System processes within Cash Management populate this table during forecast generation. From a reporting and query perspective, typical SQL patterns involve joining to CE_BANK_ACCOUNTS and related tables to retrieve account details. For example, a query to find projected balances for a specific account would filter on BANK_ACCOUNT_ID and order by the balance date. Analysts may also query to compare projected balances from different sources or to analyze the trend of projected ending balances over time. Data from this table feeds into the Cash Position and Cash Forecasting workbenches, as well as standard Oracle reports.

Related Objects

• CE_BANK_ACCOUNTS: This is the primary parent table, as enforced by the documented foreign key. Every record in CE_PROJECTED_BALANCES must relate to a valid internal bank account defined here.
• CE_CASHFORECASTS / CE_FORECAST_ITEMS: While not explicitly listed in the metadata, these tables are intrinsically related in the CE module. Projected balances are often the result of compiling detailed cash forecast items (CE_FORECAST_ITEMS) organized under a forecast header (CE_CASHFORECASTS).
• Views (e.g., CE_PROJECTED_BALANCES_V): Oracle EBS typically provides application views that join transactional tables like CE_PROJECTED_BALANCES to setup and descriptive flexfield tables, presenting a more report-ready dataset for users and custom code.
• CE Cash Forecasting APIs: Programmatic interfaces for creating and managing forecasts will ultimately read from and write to the CE_PROJECTED_BALANCES table.
