Implementing Transaction-Level Direct Cash Flow in PBCS
Hi Everyone,
I am currently working on a Solution Design for a client using Oracle PBCS (Planning Cloud). The client is insisting on implementing the Direct Cash Flow method with an extremely high level of detail, including:
Bank account level tracking.
Individual invoice and vendor details.
Daily cash movement monitoring.
From a technical perspective, I have concerns that this approach will:
- Impact System Performance: Due to the massive volume of data and the high granularity of dimensions required.
- Increase Maintenance Complexity: Especially with reconciling sub-ledger data (AR/AP/Treasury) with the General Ledger in PBCS.
- Data Integrity Issues: Planning systems are designed for aggregated Trial Balance data, not transaction-level tracking.
