Oracle Account Reconciliation Cloud, June Update
This document outlines the announcements and considerations in the upcoming Oracle Account Reconciliation Cloud update.
We would like to inform you of the upcoming monthly update for your Oracle Cloud environments. We will apply the latest updates to your test environment on Friday, June 2, 2017 and to your production environment on Friday, June 16, 2017. The update will be applied during your normal daily maintenance window.
The Oracle Help Center, which provides access to updated documentation, will also be available on June 2, 2017.
NOTE: Account Reconciliation Cloud no longer supports migration of snapshots from the latest service version to an earlier service version (for example, when moving snapshots between test and production pods during the window when test is upgraded before production.) Migration between the same versions will still be supported. Some objects, such as Profiles, may still be moved from the latest to an earlier version outside of migration snapshots by exporting them from the latest service version and importing them into the earlier version.
Oracle NetSuite Integration with the Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud (EPM Cloud)
Data Management is now available as the integration mechanism for EPM Cloud customers looking to load data from Oracle NetSuite. EPM customers now have direct access to NetSuite’s unified suite of cloud-based ERP, CRM and commerce applications. The integration uses the NetSuite Saved Search framework to query data from the NetSuite system, which includes pre-packaged or customer defined Saved Searches.
NetSuite customers interested in leveraging this integration should contact NetSuite Support for more information on how to configure the required patch bundle in the NetSuite environment.
New EPM Automate Version Available
A new version of the EPM Automate Utility is available with this update. This version includes the updated importsnapshot command, which now provides the resetPassword option. This option determines whether the default password assigned to Identity Domain users who are created while importing snapshots into an instance must be changed after the users sign in for the first time.
You must install this version of the utility to use the updated command. See these sections in “Working With EPM Automate For Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud”:
- Installation instructions: Installing the Utility
- Instructions to run commands: Command Reference
This update applies routine maintenance and infrastructural updates.
As of Date Calculations Supported in Transaction Matching Balancing
Transactions now require an Accounting Date (As of Date) so that the system can determine which transactions should be included for a given period-end reconciliation. This feature helps users balance the reconciling and in-transit transactions at month-end against the source system’s period-end balances as of a particular period-end date. When this release update is applied, any existing “Approved” reconciliation types are set to “Pending” status. You have to choose a required date attribute to represent the Accounting Date. For more information, see the Date attribute definition in Defining Data Sources.
Generate Query Option Available for Transaction Matching Custom Reports
The Generate Query option for transactions is now available when generating a custom report in Transaction Matching. This feature allows you to query existing attributes so that you can see the data you want in your report.
Enhanced User Experience in Reconciliation Compliance
Enhancements to the Reconciliation Compliance user interface were introduced in the last release update that provide a more intuitive and improved user experience, including Reconciliation, Transaction and Profile List Views, Manage Reports, and common use of a filter bar across multiple EPM Cloud services. These changes are intended to provide you with quick, easy navigation. Since these improvements have gone into effect, please note that as of the next release update, the old method of accessing the Reconciliation List, Transactions List, and Profiles List will no longer be available in the user interface.
There are no customer reported defects fixed in this update.
- When using EPM Automate, log out and log in again after importing a Financial Close Management (FCM) snapshot to refresh the icons on the Home page.
- You may receive inaccurate messages from Navigator if pop-up blockers are enabled. Disable pop-up blockers in your browser to avoid this.
- In the Academy, some pages and icons may appear different in the video and the Cloud service.
