4. Overview Bank Transfers Bank 2 Bank 1 Overview
Bank account transfers represent fund transfers between internal bank accounts.
Bank account transfers can be done either manually or automatically. The access to bank account transfer creation for a particular legal entity is subject to bank account use security.
The bank account transfers are reflected in Cash Position automatically. Payment processing for bank account transfers is managed using Oracle Payments. Journal entries are created through a centralized subledger accounting engine.
From the point of view of bank account ownership, you can either do a Intra-Company bank transfer or a Inter-Company bank transfer. Intra-company transfers represent cash transfers between two internal bank accounts that belong to the same legal entity, while Inter-company transfers represent cash transfers between two internal bank accounts that belong to two different legal entities. In case of such transfers, the system can produce balanced journal entries for both legal entities.
And from the point of view of transfer currency, you can either do a Domestic bank transfer or an International bank transfer. In Domestic bank transfer, the currency of both bank accounts and the transfer amount is the same. For example, you are transferring USD between two bank accounts that are denominated in USD. In International bank transfer, The currency of one bank account is the same as the currency of the transfer amount but the currency of the other bank account is different. For example, you are transferring USD from a bank account denominated in USD to the bank account denominated in EUR.

Refer to Practice – Create a Bank Transfer [LAB3F6DY]

8. Authorizing a Bank Transfer
If you would like another user to approve the bank account transfer before it is processed for payment and/or journalized, you can set up the manual bank account transfer authorization parameter..
Authorizing a Bank Transfer
To authorize a bank transfer, complete the following setup steps:
1. Navigate to the Bank Account Transfer Authorization page under the Cash Management, Vision Operations (USA) responsibility.
2. Select the bank transfers from the displayed list and click Authorize Transfers.
Note: If the transfers requires payment processing, they will now be automatically sent to Oracle Payments. If they do not require payment processing, they will now be available for journal creation.

9. Integrating with Payments
Bank account transfer payment instructions can be communicated to the bank electronically through Oracle Payments. When a bank account transfer that requires settlement is authorized in Oracle Cash Management, a payment process request is automatically created in Oracle Payments.
Integrating with Payments
Note: If the payment is successfully processed in Oracle Payments, the status of the bank account transfer will be automatically set to Settled. If the payment is not successfully processed, the status of the bank account transfer will be automatically set to Failed and may require the user's intervention to recreate the transfer.

10. Creating Journal Entry Rules
Cash Management supports both automatic and manual creation of journal entries, as well as maintenance of those journal entries using the Oracle Subledger Accounting.
Creating Journal Entry Rules
Create journal entries for eligible accounting events generated by Bank Account Transfers and Bank Statement Cash Flows by submitting Create Accounting concurrent program. The program creates and, optionally, transfers and posts journal entries to General Ledger. If you do not transfer the journals to General Ledger immediately, you can later submit Transfer Journal Entries to GL concurrent program.
In addition to creating final accounting entries, the program can be run in a draft mode, in which case draft journal entries will be created. Such journals cannot be transferred or posted to General Ledger.
You can transfer automatically created journal entries to General Ledger at the same time as you execute Create Accounting concurrent program. However, if have not done so or if you have created manual journals, you can submit Transfer Journal Entries to GL concurrent program.
Once the journals are created, you can view them in the transaction windows in Oracle Cash Management. Similarly, you can drill down from the journal entry in Oracle General Ledger to the source transaction in Oracle Cash Management.

11. Setting Up Transaction Subtypes
Cash Transaction Subtypes allows you to categorize cash flows for reporting purposes:
Assign transaction subtypes to either Bank Account Transfers or Bank Statement Cashflows.
You can also build a hierarchy between the subtypes by entering a subtype parent name.
Setting Up Transaction Subtypes
To set up a transaction subtype, complete the following setup steps:
1. Navigate to the Cash Management Subtypes page under the Cash Management, Vision Operations (USA) responsibility.
2. Click Create.
3. Enter a Subtype Name.
4. Click Apply.
Refer to Practice – Set Up a Transaction Subtype [LAB3F6EY]

12. Setting Up Payment Templates
Payment templates allow defining reusable sets of bank account transfer attributes and payment processing options:
During bank account transfer creation. you have an option to select a payment template, which defaults all the attributes of the payment template into the bank account transfer.
If you are using repetitive payment codes or repetitive wire codes, you can define those as payment templates.
Setting Up Payment Templates

1. Navigate to the Payment Templates page under the Cash Management, Vision Operations (USA) responsibility.
