This forum is to discuss different features/issues of Oracle Financials modules ( GL - General Ledger, AP - Accounts Payable, AR - Accounts Receivable, FA - Fixed Assets & CM - Cash Management ).
Many of you have seen in Oracle Receivables it allows you to update the amount in AR Receipt form, the receipt amount even after the receipt is posted in GL
I have following questions
a) What is the Business reason behind it and why it is allowed
b) What workaround solution you have provided to client to stop this updation.
c) Anyone logged SR?TAR with oracle and got any valuable reply on this issue.
d) This happens for whatever Receipt creation, remittance and Clearance method you have.
e) Even if it allows how do we track the changes made and the reason for change. Is there any specific report available
Answering your questions:
a) and c) See Metalink Doc ID: 394097.1 and Enhancement: Bug 2542036.
b) I personalized the form in order to prevent users from updating the amount if the receipt is posted.
d)Yes
e)I could not find a report showing the changes.
I also did some R&D on this few year back and finally decided to go for personalization. The client wanted to stop updating the receipt amount after remitting the instrument.
