Terminate Expired Contracts in Oracle Lease and Finance Management(OLFM)


  • Run the Standard Concurrent Program"Terminate Expired Contracts"  to set the status of contracts to "Expired"
  • This step will create the off-lease amortization transaction for each asset in Lease and Finance Management. 
  • The following steps or activities are performed when processing terminated expired DF lease contracts:
  1. Eligible for Termination:- Checks if billing is complete up to the termination date (only if contract has expired).
  2. Close Balances (Write-off Small Balances):- Creates adjustment transactions for the balances less than tolerance amount (Only for Full Termination).
  3. Post Accounting Entries:-

Contract Import in Oracle Lease and Finance Management(OLFM)

Oracle Lease and Finance Management(OLFM) allows you to import contracts through a standard set of Interface Tables. The import program imports data from interface tables into the Oracle Lease and Finance Management tables. After interface tables are populated, we need to submit a request to import and process contracts.
  • Navigation to submit the Import Contract Concurrent Program 
         Processing->Interfaces->Import Contracts. 
  • Parameters used for the Contract import batch:  Batch Number, Contract Number, Customer Number, Start Date From, Start Date To, Number of Parallel Instance. 
  • Based on the parameter(s) entered, a set of contracts will be selected for import for the specific request from the interface tables. You populate the following interface tables before submitting the contract import concurrent program.
  • Populate the following interface tables before submitting the contract import concurrent program.
Interface Table Name
Description
OKL_HEADER_INTERFACE
Contract header table
OKL_LINES_INTERFACE
Contract lines table
OKL_PAYMENTS_INTERFACE
Payments table
OKL_PARTY_ROLES_INTERFACE
Party Roles
OKL_TERMS_INTERFACE
Contract Terms & Conditions

  • We can import Contracts in Batches by populating the batch number field in the interface header table. The contract import program follows these processes:
  1. Validate required values:–The program validates the required values are loaded for each contract in the interface tables. The system marks the record status as "ELIGIBLE" if all required values are found populated. else, it changes status to "ERROR" and reports the error detail in a concurrent log/output file.
  2. Load into Lease Management tables:– After the validation phase, each "ELIGIBLE" contract is populated in the corresponding destination data table. The record status in the Interface is set to either "INTERFACED" or "ERROR" depending on the result of loading. This process continues for all "ELIGIBLE" contracts. The system generates a detailed report as a concurrent manager log/output file.
  3. Process:– After the load, the import program processes loaded contracts. As each activation step is completed, the contract status is updated.
         
Contract Status Description
Description
NEW
Interface contract data is loaded to create a new contract
PASSED
Contract has been validated by the QA checker
COMPLETE
Streams are generated and draft journal entries created
APPROVED
Contract is approved using the activation approval workflow
BOOKED
Contract is activated and all booking activities are completed

  • Based on the parallel processing capability, users can specify number of parallel workers as a parameter for contract import program.

Where is the data stored after AR Lockbox Validation?

Data gets imported to interim tables after successful validation.
Below are interim tables:
AR_INTERIM_CASH_RECEIPTS
AR_INTERIM_CASH_RECEIPT_LINES

Note:- Set the org context before running above queries.
exec mo_global.set_policy_context('S', <<org_id>>);

Why does the Status of AR_TRANSMISSIONS_ALL not change when deleting batch and receipts

Symptoms:-

  • Receipts are being deleted before Lockbox validation has been run. Status of AR_TRANSMISSIONS_ALL does not change when deleting batch and receipts.
  • Unused transmission names are included in Transmission Name field List of Values. Transmissions have no content.
  • Receipts are not shown in the Maintain Lockbox Transmission Data Window. No receipts in AR_PAYMENTS_INTERFACE_ALL table.
  • Before the validate Lockbox receipts step has been run, the transmission will have status NB, that is new, in the AR_TRANSMISSIONS_ALL table.
Explanation:-

  • This is intended behavior(Doc ID 1075485.1):-
  1. If these receipts are deleted before validation, the status will not be updated in the AR_TRANSMISSIONS_ALL table, and the transmission will remain open.
  2. Post Quick Cash can be submitted even when no more batch and receipt exists for the transmission. It will just update ar_transmissions_all set status='CL'
  3. The status is updated to 'CL' by submitting Post Quick Cash from the Lockbox screen. Creating and closing a transmission can be done only in the Lockbox form.

What are the various Transmission Status available in AR Lockbox Process?

Lockbox Transmission can have one of the following Statuses:-


  • New: This transmission has been imported into Receivables but has not yet been validated.
  • Out of Balance: One or more of the receipts in this transmission was rejected during validation.
  • Open: All of the receipts in this transmission have been successfully validated and transferred into Receivables. Post QuickCash has not yet processed these receipts. 
  • Closed: All of the receipts in this transmission have been successfully processed by Post QuickCash. You can review these receipts in the Receipts window.

Where can we review receipts that are failed during Lockbox Validation?

You can review receipts that failed the validation step in the Lockbox Transmission Data window.

Responsibility: <<XX>> Receivables Manager

Navigation: Receipts > Lockbox > Transmission History


  • Receivables keeps track of each lockbox transmission you submit through the Submit Lockbox Processing window.
  • Use the Lockbox Transmission History window to review information about your lockbox transmissions such as the origination date, the number and amount of records in a transmission, and the number and amount of receipts that passed the validation step.
  • The Control Count and Amount fields display the total number and amount of records in this lockbox transmission. The Validated Count and Amount fields display the total number and amount of receipts in this transmission that passed the validation step.
  • Status of OOB Out of Balance means: One or more of the receipts in this transmission was rejected during validation. Go to Maintain Transmission Data to view the detail of this receipt. There is no need to update the status or delete the record.

Navigation: Receipts > Lockbox > Maintain Transmission Data


Query with Transmission Name or Creation Date or Lockbox Number or Batch Name or Receipt Number....etc.


How can the data be reviewed after it is successfully imported and validated through Lockbox Process?


  • After successfully importing and validate receipts using Lockbox, we can review them in the QuickCash Form window. Use the Transmission region in the Receipt Batches window to query all receipt batches that were included in one transmission and to update or delete any receipt information. 


  • We can review Lockbox receipts before or after running Post QuickCash. If we have submitted Post QuickCash for this Lockbox transmission, you can review these receipts only in the Receipts or the Adjustments window.

What table needs to be populated while using Lockbox via a custom program?

Data need to be populated in AR_PAYMENTS_INTERFACE_ALL interface table.

Is it mandatory to always use import step of AR Lockbox for importing the bank data?

It is not necessary to use the import step of lockbox, data can be imported through SQL*Loader or any other custom program to populate data in the interface(ar_payments_interface_all) table.
