Calculation
Calculated automatically from your Oracle ERP Cloud data. See the At a glance summary above for what the metric tracks and the worked example below for a typical reading.Worked example
A US Fortune 500 industrial distributor on Oracle ERP Cloud. Snapshot at 4pm Eastern on 14 Apr 26.| Source | Cash applied today |
|---|---|
| Lockbox feed (auto-applied) | $3,820,000 |
| ACH receipts | $1,420,000 |
| Wire transfers (manually applied) | $640,000 |
| Cheques (manually applied) | $180,000 |
| Total Cash Applied Today | $6,060,000 |
- 900M-revenue distributor (about 8-10M on Friday Net-30 cycle days).
- Lockbox dominates ($3.82M, 63%). This is the auto-matched flow; bank-side OCR captures remittance and Oracle’s Cash Application program applies on schedule.
- Wire ($640K) needed manual application. Wires often have minimal remittance data; the cash team has to look up the customer, identify which invoices the payment covers, and manually apply.
- Daily trend matters more than single-day: comparing today’s $6M against the trailing 30D average tells you whether collections are accelerating or slowing.
- Pair with DSO: strong daily cash-applied days reduce DSO over the rolling 90D window.

Reconciling against the vendor’s own dashboard

Why our number may legitimately differ:
| Reason | Direction | Why |

| Time zone | Card uses workspace tz; Oracle uses ledger tz | Reconcile by aligning. |
| In-flight applications | Either | Receipts being applied at moment of snapshot may swap status briefly. |
