Manage Banks and Accounts

Use the Manage Banks task to define and keep track of all bank accounts in one place. You can also grant access to multiple business units, functions, and users to your bank account.

Because of this, you don't have to set up duplicate bank accounts in different business units when these units share the same bank account.

Creating a bank is the first step in setting up a bank account. Once you create a bank, you must create a branch (or branches) that you associate with the bank. After creating a bank and branch, you can create an account, then select the branch to associate your account with.

You can create additional banks, branches, and accounts at any time. If you add banks and branches, you must update the associated values. And if there are existing transactions associated with a bank or account, you can't delete either one.

Note: The Oracle Fusion Payables or Receivables accounts are identified by business unit.
