Size Considerations for Reconciliation and Comment Attachments

Be aware that most client storage is taken up by reconciliation and comment attachments. Here are some helpful tips to help manage attachment size.

• Clients can subscribe to Oracle Cloud Object Storage and after creating a storage bucket, configure Account Reconciliation to store attachments in Object Storage. This substantially reduces the size of the Account Reconciliation database. See Using Oracle Cloud Object Storage to Store Attachments in Setting Up and Configuring Account Reconciliation.
• Clients can store their attachments in their own document repository and link to it from the reconciliation. Adding a link is easier than uploading a file attachment and drastically cuts down on storage space.
• Clients can also archive old periods by either offloading storage or bring up on an archive service.
• Client should examine the contents of their larger attachments to ensure that users are uploading the data in an efficient manner. For example, Microsoft Word documents that contain high quality screenshots are very storage intensive.
