Banking and Cash Transactions Questions
-
A. Automatically apply receipts to invoices
-
B. Automatically apply commitments to invoices
-
C. Automatically apply credit memos to invoices
-
D. All of the above
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Auto Cash Rule Sets are specifically designed to automatically apply incoming receipts (like those from Lockbox) to open customer invoices. While other transaction types exist, the primary and original purpose of Auto Cash Rules is receipt-to-invoice matching application.
-
A. Chargebacks
-
B. Debit Memos
-
C. Deposits
-
D. Invoices
A
Correct answer
Explanation
The AR: Enter Transactions form is used to create standard transaction types including Debit Memos (B), Deposits (C), and Invoices (D). However, Chargebacks (A) cannot be created through this form - they are created through the AR: Chargebacks form or generated automatically during receipt application. Chargebacks are a specialized transaction type for disputed invoice portions.
-
A. applied
-
B. unapplied
-
C. on-account
-
D. partially applied
B
Correct answer
Explanation
If a receipt's value exceeds the invoice amount and there is no remittance guidance, the entire receipt's status is 'unapplied' or 'partially applied' (with $1500 applied and $500 unapplied). According to Oracle Receivables standards, since the receipt has been partially applied to the invoice, the general state of the leftover amount or the receipt status changes, but if the receipt is partially applied, the correct state in the application process is 'unapplied' for the remaining $500. However, standard training questions list 'unapplied' as the stored answer because the unapplied portion is not yet allocated to 'on-account' or a specific refund.
-
A. manual
-
B. automatic
-
C. QuickCash
-
E. direct debit
C
Correct answer
Explanation
AutoCash rules in Oracle Receivables are applied to QuickCash receipts, which are receipts created through the QuickCash feature for automatic receipt creation and application. Manual receipts are processed differently, and 'automatic' is not a specific receipt type in this context.
-
A. Sweep Transaction Generation
-
B. Auto Reconciliation
-
C. Archive Bank Statements
-
D. Cash Forecasting by days
B
Correct answer
Explanation
The Auto Reconciliation program in Oracle Cash Management automatically matches bank statement lines with transactions, eliminating manual effort. This program compares statement lines against open receipts, payments, and miscellaneous transactions to reconcile them automatically. Sweep Transaction Generation is for cash positioning, Archive Bank Statements for data management, and Cash Forecasting for liquidity planning.
-
A. issued
-
B. updated
-
C. negotiable
-
D. reconciled
D
Correct answer
Explanation
When payments are reconciled in Oracle Cash Management, their status updates to 'reconciled' to indicate they've matched with bank statement lines. This status change prevents duplicate reconciliation and provides audit trail visibility. The workflow ensures payment records reflect their true bank-cleared state for accurate financial reporting.
-
A. Load and verify bank statement , Receive Bank Statement , Perform Reconciliation , Post To GL
-
B. Receive Bank Statement, Perform Reconciliation, Load and very bank statement, Post to GL
-
C. Receive Bank Statement, Load and very bank statement, Perform Reconciliation, Post to GL
-
D. Receive Bank Statement, Perform Reconciliation, Load and verify bank statement, post to GL
C
Correct answer
Explanation
The bank reconciliation sequence follows logical workflow: first receive the physical/electronic statement from bank, then load and verify it into system (validation step), perform reconciliation to match transactions, and finally post to General Ledger. Loading before verification is impossible, and reconciliation requires loaded data. This sequence ensures data integrity before accounting impact.
-
A. When you enter the bank statement manually, you enter the bank statement header and the transaction lines
-
B. You cannot update a information in a statement if the statement has already been reconciled
-
C. B. You can update a information in a statement even if the statement has already been reconciled
-
D. None of the above
C
Correct answer
Explanation
Option C is false because Oracle prevents updates to reconciled bank statements to maintain data integrity and audit trails. Once reconciled, statements are locked from modification. Option B correctly states you CANNOT update reconciled statements. This is a control feature preventing accidental changes to matched data.
-
A. Cash In transit
-
B. Cleared transactions
-
C. Batches available for reconciliation
-
D. Transactions Available for Reconcilia
D
Correct answer
Explanation
The Transactions Available for Reconciliation report displays all transactions that are ready for reconciliation for a specific bank account. This report is used to identify which transactions have been processed by the bank and are available to be matched against the general ledger. Options A, B, and C refer to different reports - cash in transit, cleared transactions, and batch reports - but do not show all transactions available for reconciliation.
