AR Unapplied Receipts Register - Case Study & Technical Analysis
Executive Summary
The AR Unapplied Receipts Register is a primary operational report for the Cash Application team. It identifies all customer payments that have been recorded in the system but not yet fully applied to specific invoices. Reducing the volume and value of unapplied receipts is a critical Key Performance Indicator (KPI) for the Accounts Receivable department, as it directly impacts the accuracy of customer aging and the efficiency of the collections process.
Business Challenge
“Unapplied Cash” represents a disconnect in the Order-to-Cash cycle.
- Distorted Aging: A customer may have $1M in open invoices and $1M in unapplied cash. Their net balance is zero, but the aging report shows them as $1M past due, triggering unnecessary dunning actions.
- Customer Satisfaction: Calling a customer to demand payment when they have already paid (but the cash is sitting unapplied) damages the relationship.
- Accounting Risk: Unapplied cash sits in a suspense or liability account. If not cleared promptly, it can hide revenue recognition issues or duplicate payments.
Solution
The AR Unapplied Receipts Register serves as a worklist for resolving these items:
- Identification: Lists every receipt with a non-zero “Unapplied” balance.
- Aging: Shows how long the cash has been sitting unapplied (via Receipt Date), allowing managers to target old items first.
- Ownership: Includes the “Collector” assigned to the customer, enabling the distribution of the workload.
Technical Architecture
The report focuses on the “Open” portion of the payment schedules associated with receipts.
Key Tables & Joins
- Open Balance:
AR_PAYMENT_SCHEDULES_ALLis the driver. The query looks for records whereCLASS = 'PMT'andSTATUS = 'OP'(Open). TheAMOUNT_DUE_REMAININGon a payment schedule represents the unapplied amount. - Receipt Header:
AR_CASH_RECEIPTS_ALLprovides the Receipt Number, Date, and Currency. - Customer:
HZ_PARTIESandHZ_CUST_ACCOUNTSidentify the payer. - Bank:
CE_BANK_ACCOUNTSidentifies where the money was deposited.
Logic
- Selection: Finds receipts where the unapplied amount is not zero.
- As-Of Logic: If an “As of Date” is provided, the report must reconstruct the balance. It takes the current balance and “rolls back” any applications that happened after the As-Of Date to show what the balance was at that point in time.
- Exclusion: Typically excludes “Reversed” receipts, as they are no longer valid assets.
Parameters
- As of GL Date: The most critical parameter for month-end reconciliation. It ensures the report matches the General Ledger balance for the “Unapplied Cash” account.
- Customer Name: Filters for a specific client.
- Receipt Number: Locates a specific payment.
- Collector: Segments the report by the responsible agent.
FAQ
Q: What is the difference between “Unapplied” and “On Account”?
- Unapplied: The cash is in the system, but no decision has been made on how to use it.
- On Account: The cash has been deliberately placed “On Account” (e.g., a prepayment or deposit) to be used later.
- Note: Both result in a negative balance on the customer account, and this report typically includes both unless filtered.
Q: Why does the report show a receipt that I applied yesterday? A: If you run the report with an “As of Date” from last week, it will show the receipt as unapplied because it was unapplied at that time.
Q: How do I clear items from this report?
A: You must “Apply” the receipt to an invoice, a debit memo, or refund it to the customer. Once the AMOUNT_DUE_REMAINING on the receipt becomes zero, it drops off the list.
Oracle E-Business Suite Reporting Library
We provide an open source Oracle EBS SQLs as a part of operational and project implementation support toolkits for rapid Excel reports generation.
Blitz Report™ is based on Oracle EBS forms technology, and hence requires minimal training. There are no data or performance limitations since the output files are created directly from the database without going through intermediate file formats such as XML.
Blitz Report can be used as BI Publisher and Oracle Discoverer replacement tool. Standard Oracle BI Publisher and Discoverer reports can also be imported into Blitz Report for immediate output to Excel. Typically, reports can be created and version tracked within hours instead of days. The concurrent request output automatically opens upon completion without the need for re-formatting.
The Filters, Columns, Rows and Values fields are used to create and deliver the data in pivot table format with full drill down to details.

The Excel template upload functionality in Blitz Report allows users to create their own layouts by uploading an Excel template with additional sheets and charts, automatically refreshed when the report runs again. This allows to create custom dashboards and more advanced visualizations of report data.

You can download and use Blitz Report free of charge for your first 30 reports.
The installation and implementation process usually takes less than 1 hour; you can refer to our installation and user guides for specific details.
If you would like to optimize your Oracle EBS implementation and or operational reporting you can visit www.enginatics.com to review great ideas and example usage in blog. Or why not try for yourself in our demo environment.
