The CE_BANK_ACCT_USES_ALL table in Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) versions 12.1.1 and 12.2.2 is a critical component of the Cash Management module, serving as a junction table that establishes relationships between bank accounts (CE_BANK_ACCOUNTS) and their associated internal or external entities. This table plays a pivotal role in defining how bank accounts are utilized across various Oracle applications, such as Payables, Receivables, Payroll, and Treasury. Below is a detailed analysis of its structure, functionality, and integration within Oracle EBS.

Table Structure and Key Columns

The CE_BANK_ACCT_USES_ALL table contains the following key columns:

  • BANK_ACCT_USE_ID: Primary key identifier for each bank account usage record.
  • BANK_ACCOUNT_ID: Foreign key referencing CE_BANK_ACCOUNTS, linking to the bank account details.
  • ORG_ID: Organization identifier, supporting multi-org functionality.
  • ORG_TYPE: Specifies the entity type (e.g., 'OPERATING_UNIT', 'LEGAL_ENTITY') using the account.
  • PRIMARY_FLAG: Indicates whether the account is the primary account for the entity.
  • AP_USE_ALLOWED_FLAG, AR_USE_ALLOWED_FLAG, XTR_USE_ALLOWED_FLAG: Flags controlling usage in Payables, Receivables, and Treasury, respectively.
  • START_DATE and END_DATE: Define the active period for the account usage.

Functional Role

This table acts as a bridge between bank accounts and organizational units, enabling:

  • Multi-Org Configuration: Allows a single bank account to be shared across multiple operating units or legal entities while maintaining segregation.
  • Application-Specific Access Control: Determines which modules (AP, AR, Payroll) can transact using the account via the _USE_ALLOWED_FLAG columns.
  • Temporal Validity: The START_DATE and END_DATE columns support phased account transitions or temporary assignments.

Integration with Other Modules

The CE_BANK_ACCT_USES_ALL table integrates with:

  • Payables (AP): Defines payment/disbursement accounts via AP_USE_ALLOWED_FLAG.
  • Receivables (AR): Controls deposit accounts for receipts using AR_USE_ALLOWED_FLAG.
  • Treasury (XTR): Enables treasury operations when XTR_USE_ALLOWED_FLAG is set.
  • Payroll: Though not directly flagged, payroll accounts are often linked via ORG_TYPE assignments.

Technical Considerations

  • Multi-Org Access Control (MOAC): Queries must include ORG_ID filters to adhere to data security policies.
  • Indexing: Key indexes include BANK_ACCOUNT_ID, ORG_ID, and BANK_ACCT_USE_ID for performance optimization.
  • Audit Trail: Changes to account usage are often logged in CE_BANK_ACCT_USES_ALL for compliance.

Common Use Cases

  • Account Assignment: Linking a new bank account to an operating unit during implementation.
  • Module Enablement: Configuring an account for use in AP but not AR.
  • Date-Range Restrictions: Temporarily disabling an account for maintenance by setting END_DATE.

Conclusion

The CE_BANK_ACCT_USES_ALL table is a foundational element in Oracle EBS Cash Management, providing granular control over bank account utilization across modules and organizations. Its design ensures flexibility, security, and auditability, making it indispensable for financial configurations in multi-org environments. Proper understanding of this table is essential for implementations, upgrades, and troubleshooting in EBS 12.1.1 and 12.2.2.
