The CE_STATEMENT_LINES table in Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) 12.1.1 or 12.2.2 is a critical component of the Cash Management module, specifically designed to store detailed bank statement line information. This table plays a pivotal role in reconciling bank statements with internal accounting records, ensuring accurate financial reporting and cash flow management. Below is a detailed breakdown of its structure, purpose, and key functionalities.

Overview and Purpose

The CE_STATEMENT_LINES table stores transactional data imported from bank statements, including deposits, withdrawals, fees, and interest entries. It serves as the foundation for the bank reconciliation process, allowing organizations to match bank transactions with internal accounting entries in Oracle General Ledger (GL), Accounts Payable (AP), and Accounts Receivable (AR). This reconciliation ensures data integrity and helps identify discrepancies such as missing or duplicate transactions.

Key Columns and Data Structure

The table contains numerous columns, each serving a specific purpose in the reconciliation workflow. Some of the most critical columns include:

• STATEMENT_LINE_ID: Primary key uniquely identifying each statement line.
• BANK_ACCOUNT_ID: References the bank account (CE_BANK_ACCOUNTS) associated with the transaction.
• STATEMENT_HEADER_ID: Links to the parent statement header (CE_STATEMENT_HEADERS) for grouping transactions.
• TRX_DATE: The transaction date as per the bank statement.
• VALUE_DATE: The date when funds are credited/debited to the account.
• TRX_TYPE: Indicates transaction type (e.g., 'DEPOSIT', 'PAYMENT', 'BANK_CHARGE').
• AMOUNT: The monetary value of the transaction.
• STATEMENT_LINE_NUMBER: Sequential line number from the bank statement.
• STATUS: Reconciliation status (e.g., 'UNRECONCILED', 'RECONCILED', 'CLEARED').
• REFERENCE_TEXT: Additional transaction details or reference numbers.

Integration with Other Modules

The CE_STATEMENT_LINES table integrates with multiple Oracle EBS modules:

• General Ledger (GL): Reconciled transactions are posted to GL for financial reporting.
• Accounts Payable (AP): Matches bank payments with AP invoices.
• Accounts Receivable (AR): Links bank deposits to customer receipts.
• Cash Management (CE): Uses this table for auto-reconciliation rules and manual reconciliation.

Reconciliation Process

The reconciliation process involves comparing CE_STATEMENT_LINES data with internal transaction records. Oracle Cash Management provides automated reconciliation tools that use predefined rules to match transactions based on criteria such as amount, date, and reference. Manual reconciliation is also supported for exceptions or complex cases.

Customizations and Extensions

Organizations often extend the functionality of CE_STATEMENT_LINES by:

• Adding custom columns to capture additional bank-specific data.
• Developing custom reconciliation rules for unique business requirements.
• Integrating with third-party banking systems for real-time data feeds.

Conclusion

The CE_STATEMENT_LINES table is a cornerstone of Oracle Cash Management, enabling efficient bank reconciliation and accurate financial tracking. Its integration with core EBS modules ensures seamless data flow, while its flexible structure supports customization to meet diverse business needs. Proper utilization of this table enhances financial visibility, reduces manual effort, and mitigates the risk of errors in cash management processes.
