Search Results ar_receivable_applications_all

The AR_RECEIVABLE_APPLICATIONS_ALL table is a fundamental component of Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) 12.1.1 and 12.2.2, specifically within the Accounts Receivable (AR) module. This table serves as the central repository for recording and managing the application of receipts, invoices, debit memos, credit memos, and on-account credits against customer transactions. It plays a critical role in tracking the financial reconciliation between customer payments and outstanding receivables, ensuring accurate accounting and reporting.

Key Attributes and Structure

The table contains columns that define the relationship between applied receipts and the transactions they settle. Key columns include:

• RECEIVABLE_APPLICATION_ID: Primary key uniquely identifying each application record.
• CASH_RECEIPT_ID: References the receipt (from AR_CASH_RECEIPTS_ALL) being applied.
• APPLIED_CUSTOMER_TRX_ID: Links to the transaction (invoice, debit memo, etc.) in RA_CUSTOMER_TRX_ALL that the receipt is applied against.
• APPLICATION_TYPE: Indicates the nature of the application (e.g., 'CASH', 'CLAIM', 'CM', 'DM').
• AMOUNT_APPLIED: The monetary value applied from the receipt to the transaction.
• GL_DATE: The accounting date for the application, critical for general ledger posting.
• STATUS: Reflects the current state (e.g., 'APP', 'UNAPP', 'ACC') of the application.
• APPLIED_PAYMENT_SCHEDULE_ID: References the payment schedule (AR_PAYMENT_SCHEDULES_ALL) for the applied transaction.

Functional Role in Receivables

The table supports core AR processes:

1. Receipt Application: Tracks manual or automatic application of customer payments to open invoices, ensuring accurate settlement of dues.
2. Adjustments and Write-offs: Records adjustments (discounts, write-offs) linked to receipts or invoices.
3. Credit Memo Utilization: Manages the application of credit memos against debit items or invoices.
4. Unapplication and Reapplication: Stores history when receipts are unapplied and reapplied to different transactions.

Integration with Other Modules

AR_RECEIVABLE_APPLICATIONS_ALL integrates with:

• General Ledger (GL): Applications post accounting entries via the AR accounting engine, impacting revenue and cash accounts.
• Cash Management: Reconciled receipts in AR update bank statement lines in Cash Management.
• Subledger Accounting: Provides source data for generating subledger journal entries.

Technical Considerations

• Multi-Org Structure: The _ALL suffix indicates it stores data for all operating units, filtered by ORG_ID.
• Indexing: Key indexes include AR_RECEIVABLE_APPLICATIONS_N1 (on CASH_RECEIPT_ID) and AR_RECEIVABLE_APPLICATIONS_N2 (on APPLIED_CUSTOMER_TRX_ID) for performance.
• Audit Columns: Includes CREATED_BY, CREATION_DATE, LAST_UPDATE_DATE for compliance tracking.

Reporting and Analytics

The table is a primary source for:

• Aging reports (e.g., AR_AGING_REPORTS), which classify receivables based on application dates.
• Cash reconciliation reports, matching bank statements to applied receipts.
• Dispute resolution, by tracing payment applications to invoice details.

Customization and Extensions

While Oracle discourages direct DML on this table, customizations often leverage:

• API AR_RECEIPT_API_PUB for programmatic receipt applications.
• Triggers or views to enforce business rules without modifying core data.

In summary, AR_RECEIVABLE_APPLICATIONS_ALL is pivotal for maintaining the integrity of receivables accounting in Oracle EBS, linking financial transactions to their settlements while supporting compliance, reporting, and operational workflows.
