3.22.1.4. FDC Servlet Load Balancing
FDC North is a processor model payment system and is integrated with iPayments for
credit / purchase card processing on the funds capture side. Under the 11i/FP.G and R12
versions, the FDC North servlet could not be load balanced due to the use of a text file
(BatchGenMap.txt) for processing purposes and the inability for a text file to be shared
concurrently by two processes due to the risk of overwriting data. In this release, the data
required to process FDC batch queries can now be derived from the Payments data model
eliminating the use of the BatchGenMap text file. As a result, load balancing of the FDC
North servlet is now possible.

Order Number
The Golden Tax Adaptor now allows users the option to query and consolidate Golden
Tax transactions by sales order number within the Golden Tax Workbench simplifying
the process of finding and consolidating Golden Tax Transactions.
3.24.5.2. Apply Receipts Automatically based on Match Score and Knapsack Method
The Automatic Cash Application improves accuracy and on-time application of cash
receipts with the introduction of two new methods for automatically applying cash
receipts.
The first method generates match scores using the Levenshtein distance algorithm and
automatically applies the receipt based on a score threshold. The second methods applies
Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document Oracle Receivables 38
receipts by knap sacking the receipt amount and the open transactions of the customer.
Both methods provide suggested matches when a receipt cannot be applied automatically.
The Disputes Overview Endeca page enables Receivables personnel to analyze and
improve disputes processing, as well as identify customers who might be overusing
disputes as a way to delay payments.
The Outstanding Receivables Overview page offers insight into open receivables
transactions across customers and organizations, allowing users to obtain a better
understanding of the health of open receivables, review specific transactions and
potentially challenging customers that require attention and take necessary actions. The
Billing Process Overview page highlights outstanding issues in Billing such as
Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document Oracle Receivables Extensions for Oracle Endeca 39
incomplete transactions, adjustments pending approval and auto-invoice import
processing errors. The Payment Process Overview page identifies payment related
transactions such as unapplied and on account receipts, receipt and remittance batches
requiring attention, and lockbox errors. The Payment History page provides recent
historical information on both paid transactions and applied receipts across customers.
3.26.2.1. Historical Data Initialization for New Reporting Currencies and Secondary
Ledgers
When setting up new secondary ledgers or reporting currencies with an existing primary
ledger for new local or corporate reporting requirements, all historical transaction
accounting amounts and balances have to be initialized in these new ledgers/currencies to
ensure proper reconciliation with their primary ledger counterparts. Oracle Subledger
Accounting now provides a new concurrent program: SLA Secondary/ALC Ledger
Historic Update for this particular need. This program retroactively posts historical
transaction accounting data from the existing primary ledger to the newly created
secondary or reporting currency ledgers. Once this program is executed, reports and
inquiries will correctly display secondary ledger or reporting currency amounts.
3.26.3.1. Accounting Rules Detail Report and Enhanced Subledger Accounting Online
Inquiry
Oracle Subledger Accounting introduces a new Subledger Accounting Rules Detail
Listing Report to provide detailed information about accounting rules defined for a
subledger accounting method. The report can be submitted from the individual subledger
applications or from Oracle General Ledger. In addition, the report can be submitted for
custom applications registered within Oracle Financial Accounting Hub.
Users can now use the new report to easily review the following setup details:
Subledger Accounting Method
Journal Line Definition
Journal Line Type
Account Derivation Rule
Journal Header Description
Journal Line Description
The online Subledger Journal Entry page has also been enhanced with two new sections
to display the journal line definition and the journal line type used for generating an
accounting entry.
Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document Oracle Subledger Accounting 40
3.26.3.2. Accounting Data On-Demand Upgrade by Subledger
During the Release 12 upgrade process, customers can choose the time span for
converting historical accounting data to the new Subledger Accounting tables. There is
also a separate program that allows customers to extend the data conversion to older
accounting periods after the upgrade. This program runs for all subledgers at the same
time.
In this release, Oracle Subledger Accounting has enhanced this process by introducing a
new concurrent program Upgrade Historical Subledger Transaction Accounting that
allows the historical accounting data conversion be done independently for each
subledger.
3.27.1.1. International Bank Account Number (IBAN) Support for Counterparty Bank
Accounts
The International Bank Account Number, or IBAN, was designed to standardize and
simplify the transfer of international payments. A new field has been added to the
Counterparty Settlements Account Details window to support the input of the
International Bank Account Number for the counterparty.
The seeded confirmation templates and X12 Electronic Funds Transfer script now use the
IBAN for both the company and counterparty, if provided. The Daily Payments/Receipts
Report displays the IBAN, if it is specified, rather than the account number for the
counterparty.
Oracle Treasury now allows the use of Retail Term Money Market deal transactions
within the Oracle Cash Management Bank Statement reconciliation. With this
enhancement, users can view and use all treasury deal type transactions when reconciling
bank statements within Oracle Cash Management providing a single point for
reconciliation.
