Customer Statement Report – Need Persistent Sequential Statement Number

User_GTWDK

Product: Oracle Fusion Receivables (AR)
Category: Receivables / Collections

Description:

Currently, the standard Customer Statement Report in Oracle Fusion Receivables does not generate or maintain a persistent sequential Statement Number for each report execution.

Each time the report is run, it executes independently without referencing previous runs, and there is no mechanism to assign or store a unique identifier for each generated statement.

Business Requirement:

We require the system to generate a unique, consecutive Statement Number (similar to cheque numbering) for every execution of the Customer Statement Report.

• The numbering should continue from the last generated number
• The number should be stored persistently in the system
• It should be available for audit, reconciliation, and reporting purposes
• The Statement Number should also be printed on the report output

Business Justification:

1. Audit & Compliance:
   A unique identifier is required for audit trail and statutory compliance.
2. Customer Communication:
   Customers often refer to statement numbers in queries with AR teams.
3. Data Integrity:
   In cases where statements are generated multiple times for the same accounting period, a unique identifier is required to distinguish versions.
4. Operational Efficiency:
   Without this feature, teams are forced to manually track statements outside the system, leading to risks of duplication or gaps.

Impact:

• Audit reconciliation challenges
• Increased manual effort and risk of errors
• Potential delays in financial close activities

Expected Outcome:
Oracle should provide a standard functionality to:

• Generate and persist sequential Statement Numbers
• Ensure uniqueness across runs
• Allow printing of the Statement Number on the report
