The AR_CASH_RECEIPTS_ALL table in Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) 12.1.1 or 12.2.2 is a critical component of the Accounts Receivable (AR) module, serving as the primary repository for recording and managing cash receipt transactions. This table stores comprehensive details about incoming payments, refunds, and adjustments, facilitating efficient cash application, reconciliation, and financial reporting. Below is a detailed breakdown of its structure, functionality, and significance within Oracle EBS.

1. Purpose and Role

The AR_CASH_RECEIPTS_ALL table captures all cash receipt entries, including:

• Payments from Customers: Checks, wire transfers, credit cards, or other payment methods.
• Refunds: Amounts returned to customers.
• Miscellaneous Receipts: Non-invoice-related cash inflows (e.g., deposits).

It acts as the foundation for downstream processes like cash application, bank reconciliation, and general ledger (GL) posting.

2. Key Columns and Data Structure

The table includes columns to track receipt attributes, such as:

• CASH_RECEIPT_ID: Primary key, uniquely identifying each receipt.
• RECEIPT_NUMBER: User-assigned or system-generated identifier.
• AMOUNT: Total receipt value.
• CURRENCY_CODE: Currency of the transaction.
• RECEIPT_DATE: Date of receipt creation.
• TYPE: Distinguishes between standard receipts, refunds, or miscellaneous entries.
• STATUS: Tracks workflow (e.g., "APPROVED," "REVERSED").
• CUSTOMER_ID: Links to HZ_CUST_ACCOUNTS for customer details.
• GL_DATE: Date posted to the GL.
• ORG_ID: Supports multi-org architecture.

3. Integration with Other Modules

The table interacts with:

• AR_CASH_RECEIPT_HISTORY_ALL: Stores activity history (e.g., adjustments, reversals).
• AR_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL: Tracks accounting entries for GL integration.
• AR_PAYMENT_SCHEDULES_ALL: Links receipts to invoices for cash application.
• CE_BANK_ACCT_USES_ALL: Associates receipts with bank accounts for reconciliation.

4. Functional Workflow

1. Creation: Receipts are entered manually or via AutoLockbox.
2. Application: Payments are matched to open invoices using rules or manual methods.
3. Accounting: Distributions generate GL journal entries upon posting.
4. Reconciliation: Bank statements are reconciled against receipts in Cash Management.

5. Customization and Extensions

Common enhancements include:

• Custom validations via triggers or APIs.
• Integration with third-party payment gateways.
• Reporting extensions using BI Publisher or Oracle Reports.

6. Audit and Compliance

The table supports audit trails through:

• WHO columns (CREATED_BY, LAST_UPDATE_DATE).
• Integration with Oracle Audit Vault.

7. Performance Considerations

Indexes on CASH_RECEIPT_ID, RECEIPT_NUMBER, and CUSTOMER_ID optimize queries. Partitioning may be used for high-volume environments.

Conclusion

The AR_CASH_RECEIPTS_ALL table is central to Oracle AR’s cash management capabilities, ensuring accurate payment tracking, seamless integration with financial systems, and compliance with accounting standards. Its design supports scalability, auditability, and multi-org functionality, making it indispensable for organizations using Oracle EBS.
