Clear Accounts Receivable Open Invoices without Creating Receipt
When our opening balances were created from SAP at Go-Live for Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP, the bank account clearing account (SAP open items) represented the opening balance of the Oracle Bank Clearing account.
As SAP bank statement processing accounts for payments to the bank with a journal which posts bank account (DR) clearing account (CR) the payments in the open items from the SAP bank clearing account need to be allocated to customer accounts.
But if a receipt is created in Oracle, then that receipt will be created in 'remitted' status, and will 'look' for bank account line to clear against. Obviously there will never be a bank statement line to clear against as in SAP the bank statement balance is always equal to the GL account balance; nothing is held in an equivalent to the cash management sub-ledger.
