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.
SourceCash 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
Five things to notice:
  1. 6Mdayishealthyfora6M day is healthy for a 900M-revenue distributor (about 23M/dayaverage;spikesto2-3M / day average; spikes to 8-10M on Friday Net-30 cycle days).
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Daily trend matters more than single-day: comparing today’s $6M against the trailing 30D average tells you whether collections are accelerating or slowing.
  5. Pair with DSO: strong daily cash-applied days reduce DSO over the rolling 90D window.
