Only when it is Rolled back
-
When it is Committed or Rolled back
-
None of the above
C
Correct answer
Explanation
A transaction in a database management system terminates either when it is explicitly committed (making changes permanent) or when it is rolled back (undoing all changes). These are the two standard ways to end a transaction. Simply executing DML statements doesn't end a transaction - the database waits for an explicit COMMIT or ROLLBACK command.

-
When it is Committed or Rolled back
-
None of the above
C
Correct answer
Explanation
A transaction in a database is a logical unit of work that must either complete entirely (COMMIT) or be completely undone (ROLLBACK). These are the only two ways a transaction can terminate - partial completion is not allowed in ACID-compliant databases.

-
Noneofthese
C
Correct answer
Explanation
Using a pre-built Checkbook Register template is the most efficient method for balancing a checkbook in Excel. Templates provide structured layouts with formulas for reconciliation, running balances, and transaction tracking. This is faster and more reliable than manually entering amounts or building from scratch.

-
Noneofthese
C
Correct answer
Explanation
The best method to balance a checkbook in Excel is to download the Checkbook Register template from Microsoft Office Online templates. This template is specifically designed for checkbook management with built-in formulas and formatting. Simply copying check amounts doesn't provide balancing functionality, and Excel's arithmetic checking doesn't replace proper checkbook management tools.

Create Cash Receipts
-
Allow Bank Payments
-
Allow Invoice and Receipt Matching
-
All the Above
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Oracle Receivables Auto Lockbox Program provides comprehensive functionality: it creates cash receipts from bank data, processes bank payments, and matches receipts to invoices for automatic application. Lockbox is designed to streamline cash application by automating all these processes together, hence 'All the Above' is correct.
-
Upon Swiping, the POS machine only checks for the authenticity of the card (Fake or Genuine).
-
The customer details stored in the magnetic stripe will be sent to the system through POS to get the response for the transaction
-
Upon Swiping, POS machine validates the credit limit stored on the magnetic stripe and approves/rejects the transaction.
-
Swiping provides the merchant with all information needed for accounting purposes only.
B
Correct answer
Explanation
When a credit card is swiped at a POS terminal, the customer's card details (stored in the magnetic stripe or chip) are read and transmitted to the payment processing system for authorization. The system then sends back a response (approved/declined) for that specific transaction. Option A is incorrect because the POS does more than just check card authenticity - it processes the entire transaction. Option C is wrong because credit limits are not stored on the magnetic stripe; they're checked in real-time with the issuer's system. Option D oversimplifies - swiping enables transaction processing, not just accounting.

It is the kit that contains the following things -1) Welcome Letter 2)Cheque Book 3) Credit card 4)Terms & Conditions 5)Vouchers if any 6)Fees details 7)Customer care center contact details
-
It is the kit that contains the following things -1) Welcome Letter 2) Credit card 3) Terms & Conditions 4)Vouchers if any 5) Fees details 6)Customer care center contact details
-
It is the kit sent to customer containing only the Welcome letter and care center contact details when the customer is eligible for the applied card.
-
It is the kit send to the customer requesting him to apply for a credit card that conains the following details - 1)Application Form 2)General Terms & Conditions 3)Fees details 4) Customer care center contact details
B
Correct answer
Explanation
A Welcome Kit is the package sent to new credit card customers containing essential items: Welcome Letter, the Credit Card itself, Terms & Conditions document, any promotional vouchers, fee details, and customer care contact information. Option A incorrectly includes a Cheque Book, which is not typically part of a credit card welcome kit (cheque books are for bank accounts, not credit cards). Option C is incomplete - welcome kits contain more than just a letter and contact details. Option D describes an application kit sent to prospective customers, not the welcome kit sent after approval.
-
Only when it is Committed
-
Only when it is Rolledback
-
When it is Committed or Rolledback
-
None of the above
C
Correct answer
Explanation
A transaction in a database system terminates either by a commit (making changes permanent) or a rollback (undoing all changes). Options A and B are incomplete as they only consider one termination mode. Option D is incorrect because transactions do end through these two mechanisms - there are no other ways to complete a transaction.
-
30 day ageing balance
-
60 day ageing balance
-
90 day ageing balance
-
All of these
-
None of these
C
Correct answer
Explanation
Credit card management systems typically trigger automatic account cancellation when a delinquency reaches a 90-day aging balance (representing three consecutive missed billing cycles). Younger aging balances (30 or 60 days) trigger collection activities but not automatic cancellation, making other options incorrect.
-

-
Only when it is Rolledback
-
When it is Committed or Rolledback
-
None of the above
C
Correct answer
Explanation
A transaction ends either when it is committed (changes saved) or rolled back (changes discarded). These are the only two ways a transaction completes. It does not end by only one of these actions.
-
A. Check
-
B. DD
-
C. Clearing
-
D. Wire
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Oracle Payables supports multiple payment methods including Check, Wire, and Clearing (for electronic payments). DD (Direct Debit) is not a standard payment method in Oracle Payables - it's a banking term but not a Payables payment method type. The system uses Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) for automated debits, not labeled as 'DD'.
-
A. Paying a single check within payables
-
B. Paying multiple checks in a payment batch
-
C. Manually writing a check outside of payables
-
D. Recording a payment outside of payables
D
Correct answer
Explanation
The manual payment method in Oracle Payables is used to record a payment that was made outside the Payables system, such as a handwritten check or a wire payment initiated directly at the bank. You're simply recording the payment transaction for accounting purposes, not creating or printing it. This differs from Quick Payment, which generates the payment within Payables.
-
A. Creating a payment without an invoice
-
B. Manually writing a check outside of payables
-
C. Recording a payment outside of payables
-
D. Creating and printing a computer generated payment to pay a supplier for one or more invoices
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Quick Payment in Oracle Payables creates and prints a computer-generated payment to pay a supplier for one or more selected invoices. You select the invoices, and the system generates the payment (check or electronic) immediately. This differs from manual payment (recording external payments) and payment batches (processing multiple suppliers at once).
-
A. A, B, C, D
-
B. D, B, C, A
-
C. B, D, A, C
-
D. D, A, C, B
D
Correct answer
Explanation
The payment batch process follows a logical workflow: first modify the payment batch to make any adjustments, then confirm the batch to validate it, format payments to generate the output file, and finally print checks from that formatted output. Option D correctly captures this sequence.
-
A. Change an invoice amount
-
B. Prevent payment to a supplier
-
C. Print checks from the output file
-
D. Prevent payment of a particular invoice
C
Correct answer
Explanation
Once a payment batch is formatted, the output file is generated and the batch is essentially frozen for payment purposes. The only valid action from the given options is printing checks from this output file. You cannot change invoice amounts, block suppliers, or prevent specific invoice payments after formatting - those modifications must happen before.
