Oracle Payables Reconciliation Accounting: Realized Gains and Losses
Cash Management enables you to reconcile payments you created in Oracle Payables against
your bank statements. You can use Cash Management to:
o Automatically account for differences between the amount cleared and the
original payment amount, whether they are due to exchange rate fluctuations,
bank charges, or bank errors.
When you reconcile your payments with Oracle Cash Management, the system automatically
creates accounting entries to the Cash, Cash Clearing, realized Gains and Losses, Bank Charges,
and Bank Errors accounts you specified in the Oracle Payables Banks window. You transfer the
accounting entries resulting from Cash Management payment reconciliation to General Ledger
from Payables.
Cash Management automatically calculates your realized gains and losses, caused by exchange
rate fluctuations, between payment creation and payment reconciliation time. Oracle Payables,
on the other hand, calculates your realized gains and losses between invoice entry and payment
issuance time.
Note: You must specify exchange rates for foreign currency payments to be reconciled.
Miscellaneous Payments
You can create miscellaneous payments directly from Cash Management to account for
transactions such as bank charges. However, miscellaneous payments are actually created as
negative miscellaneous receipts in Oracle Receivables. As a result, the reconciliation accounting
for Receivables applies to these transactions.
Unreconciling a Payment
When you unreconcile a payment in Cash Management, it creates reversing entries if you have
already posted the reconciled payment. Such actions in Cash Management automatically update
information in Payables, and you can transfer these entries to General Ledger by submitting the
Payables Transfer to General Ledger program. If you have not yet posted the reconciled
payment, Payables deletes the reversing entries.
You can use Cash Management to reverse reconciled transactions. You can also undo the cleared
check status of a reconciled payment, whether that payment was originally cleared in Cash
Management or Payables. When you undo the clearing, the check status reverts to Negotiable
and, if you use a cash clearing account, the entry that debited the cash clearing account and
credited cash is reversed.
You transfer the accounting entries generated in Cash Management to your general ledger when
you transfer payments using the Transfer to General Ledger program from Payables. Payables
performs the following accounting, depending on whether you have enabled the Allow
Reconciliation Accounting Payables option:
o Not Enabled: Payables transfers each payment once. The system creates an
accounting entry to debit the AP Liability account and credit the Cash (asset)
account.
Payables provides several reports to review transfer and posting information about your
payments. See your Oracle Payables User's Guide for more information.

Is there any effect on Step 5 in all three cases, that mean do matching have different
accounting entry?
The answer is no; as per my understanding purpose of setting the PO to a 2way, 3 way or 4 way
match is to ensure that the corresponding hold is generated on the invoice.
