Lockbox interface
AutoLockbox lets us automatically process receipts that are sent directly to the bank instead of manually feeding them in Oracle Receivables
AutoLockbox is a three step process:
1. Import:
During this step, Lockbox reads and formats the data from your bank file into interface table AR_PAYMENTS_INTERFACE_ALL using a SQL *Loader script.
2. Validation
The validation program checks data in this interface table for compatibility with Receivables.
Once validated, the data is transferred into QuickCash tables (AR_INTERIM_CASH_RECEIPTS_ALL and AR_INTERIM_CASH_RCPT_LINES_ALL).
3. Post QuickCash
This step applies the receipts and updates your customer’s balances
