Fund transfers are supported directly in Oracle Cash management; this
feature allows you to create account transfers between internal bank accounts
manually or automatically through physical cash pools.
The related cash flows are stored in Oracle Cash Management for reporting
purposes and are reflected in positioning. Payment processing and accounting
is managed using Oracle Payments and Oracle Subledger accounting.
Funds transfer basically can be done in 2 ways
When you do not require payment document to be generated.
This is used when the transfer has been made by the bank and you just
have to record the same into the system. For this purpose, you can go to
the bank account transfer window and select the option "Settle through
Oracle payments" as "No". Fill in the rest of the fields and validate the
the transfer. This will create a transfer transaction with the status as
"Settled".
You can also provide a standing instruction to the bank to make the
bank transfer and would be know about the transfer through the bank statement.
You can create the bank statement line as a sweep in or sweep out line
and record the bank account transfer.
When a payment document is required.
This is used when for example you draw a check to make the bank transfer
or any other payment document. For this purpose, select the option "Settle
through Oracle payments" as "Yes". Fill in the rest of the fields and validate
the the transfer.
This will create a transfer transaction with the status as "Settlement
in Process".
After this you need to go to the funds disbursement process manager
and issue the payment document. Process similar to the batch payment in
AP.
The bank account transfer can also be initiated through cash positioning
by using Physical Cash pool.
Please note that this require the intercompany or intracompany rule
to be set in the ledger depending on the type of transfer you are making.
