BANK MODEL IN CASH MANAGEMENT – R12

In R12, banks are moved into Trading Community Architecture(TCA). Now Cash Management owns the internal bank setup definition.

Benefits of new Bank Account model:

There is a central place to define internal bank accounts. So with centralized user interface, users can reduce the number of access points to manage bank accounts

With the help of Multi-Org Access Control, we can explicitly grant account access to multiple operating units/functions and users, which improves the visibility and control of bank accounts

A single Legal Entity is granted ownership of each internal bank account and One or more Organizations are granted usage rights. So, a single bank statement can be reconciled across multiple Operating Units, which helps to simplify reconciliation process.

Reconciliation options can now be defined at the bank account level, which provides more flexibility and control to the reconciliation process.

Bank structure in 11i:

Bank structure in R12:

In R12, Banks are part of TCA and the same bank accounts can be used in Payables, Receivables, Payroll and Treasury.

Impact of Upgrade:

All the internal bank accounts of 11.5.10, will be migrated into Centralized Bank model automatically during the upgrade.

Tables to store the bank information in R12:

The new tables that store bank information are now under Cash Management as follows:

CE_BANK_ACCOUNTS                     Contains Legal Entity Level bank account information. Each bank

                                                              account must be affiliated with one bank branch.

CE_BANK_ACCT_USES_ALL           Stores Operating Unit level bank account use information.

CE_PAYMENT_DOCUMENTS           Stores payment Documents to be used for Printed type Payments

CE_BANK_BRANCHES_V                 View: Bank/Branches Info

CE_BANK_ACCT_USES_OU_V        View: Internal Bank Account Uses Info

The following tables were obsoleted in R12, ian which Bank Data was stored in R11i:

AP_BANK_BRANCHES
AP_BANK_ACCOUNTS_ALL
AP_BANK_ACCOUNTS_USES_ALL

In R12, Internal bank accounts can be created in Cash Management (Setup -> Banks). Where can we define Supplier (or External) bank accounts?

Supplier (or External) bank accounts can be created in Payables, by using Supplier Entry forms.  In the Payables Manager responsibility:

1. Navigate to Suppliers -> Entry.
2. Query or create your supplier.
3. Click on Banking Details and then choose Create.

After creating the bank account, we can assign the bank account to the supplier site.
