Purging, Archiving, and Restoring Imported Bank Statements

After you import a bank statement into Oracle Cash Management, you can purge its information from the Bank Statement Open Interface tables. After you reconcile the bank statement, you can purge its information from the Bank Statement tables. To save a copy of your bank statement, you can archive the information before you purge it. You can also archive or purge intra-day bank statement information from the Bank Statement Open Interface tables and the Intra-Day Bank Statement tables.

You can run the Archive/Purge Bank Statements program to archive and purge. When the program completes, it automatically prints the Archive/Purge Bank Statements Report to display the number of headers and lines that were archived or purged.

Purging

The purge process deletes all statement header and line information from the open interface tables or the bank statement tables, or both, nothing is retained. When you purge a bank statement, you must also purge any system transactions reconciled to the bank statement.

We recommend that you periodically archive and purge your bank statement interface and bank statement tables. If you do not periodically purge your bank statement interface and bank statement tables, the retained information will continue to occupy valuable disk space.

Warning: If you use Oracle Cash Management to reconcile journal entries in General Ledger, you should run the Oracle Cash Management Purge program before you purge journals in General Ledger. See: Archiving and Purging.

Archiving

With archiving, you can save copies of your bank statement information.

See: Oracle Database Utilities 11g Release 2 (11.2) Guide for further information.

Automatic Archive and Purge

If you set the Archive and Purge options in the System Parameters window, you can automatically archive or purge bank statement information from the Bank Statement Open Interface tables after the bank statements have been successfully imported into Oracle Cash Management. You can also automatically archive or purge imported intra-day bank statement information from the Bank Statement Open Interface tables. To archive or purge information from the Bank Statement tables or Intra-Day Bank Statement tables, however, you must run the Archive/Purge Bank Statements program. See: System Parameters.

Restoring

The Restore Bank Statements concurrent program reads the archived data and restores to the original tables from where it has been archived.

The program deletes the archived data once it is successfully restored.

If restore process fails, the errors are reported on the execution report.

While Restoring Bank Statements at interface level, if user provides only bank branch as input parameter and the bank account number is defined for multiple for the given branch. The bank account name at the execution report displays "Multiple Accounts Found" on the report.
