Oracle Cloud Cash Budget Control on Payments in Payables

When you enable cash controls for a ledger, a cash control budget is created for a ledger with these defaults: • Budget calendar is created automatically with one period for the entire date range of ledger. • Control level defaults to Absolute. • Project defaults to Any or no project on the transaction. • Budget segment defaults to the balancing segment. The cash control budget is created with the Not ready for use status. You can modify to meet your enterprise budgeting requirements such as: • Add the natural account as an additional budget segment. • Assign tree hierarchies to budget segments to control at a parent level. • Create supplemental rules for exceptions to the control level. • Supplemental rules can be created for budget import unlike procure to pay control budgets. If control level is none for budget entry business function, budget balances aren’t updated. When the control budget is put in use, the budget period status is set to Open. Source Budget Types Control budgets are classified by source budget type that defines the application from which budget balances are originated. Some source budget types limit budget to be loaded by the originating system; direct budget entries and budget load features offered by Budgetary Control aren't available to enforce data integrity. See the Budget Entry topic to determine a proper classification of source budget type for your control budgets. You can find the link to the Budget Entry topic in the Related Topics section. Source Budget Name Source budget name is defaulted from control budget name for detail control budgets. For summary control budget, select the detail control budget as the source budget name. Source budget name is used in budget import to derive the control budgets. Account Hierarchies You use trees, also called account hierarchies, in Budgetary Control setups to import budget and validate spending in this scenario: • when budget is recorded and controlled at a higher segment value than that of the transactions. These trees are automatically made available to you for use in Budgetary Control reporting. You don't use trees in Budgetary Control setups in this scenario: • when budget is recorded and controlled at detail segment values. You can use trees that aren't used in Budgetary Control setups for Budgetary Control reporting. You can also use trees in General Ledger for reporting, allocations, and other processing setups. And you can also share trees between General Ledger and Budgetary Control. If you use trees in Budgetary Control setups, you need tree labels. When you set up a tree for use in a control budget, assign a common label to the parent segment values at which the control budget records and controls budget. And when you set up the related segment in that control budget, specify the tree and label to indirectly indicate the parent segment values at which budget is recorded and controlled. Sometimes you need to assign more than one label to differentiate parent segment values at different levels in a tree Setup Revenue and Cash Controls Enabling Cash Controls Enable cash controls to fund the cash control budget from standard and miscellaneous receipts and to allow payment of invoices only when funds are available in the cash control budget. When you enable cash controls for a ledger, a cash control budget is automatically created. You can modify this control budget to meet your business needs before using it. To enable budgetary control validation on Receipts, enable the Receivables receipt funds the cash budget check box. Note: Cash budget funding with Receivables receipts only applies to ledgers with business units enabled for Multifund Accounting. To enable budgetary control validation on Payments, enable the Payables payment consumes the cash budget check box. Note: If you’re not budgetary controlling expenses, that is, not creating procure to pay control budgets, but you want to enable cash controls for Payables payments, then you must also enable Budgetary Control for your ledger and the Payables invoicing business function for your business unit in the Edit Budgetary Control and Encumbrance Accounting page. Accounts in Journals Subject to Cash Controls This region determines which accounts from journal entries will impact the cash control budget. Debits to the cash accounts are considered negative expenditures and increase the cash control budget funds available balance. The opposite is true for credits to the cash accounts and the funds balance is decreased as an expenditure. To avoid overstating the cash budget, it is recommended to assign different natural accounts on these receivables remittance bank GL accounts rather than the natural account defined for cash: • Receipt Confirmation • Remittance • Unapplied receipts • Unidentified receipts • On-Account receipts
