|                         |                                                                                                                                                   |
| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **What it counts**      | Sum of receipt amounts where `application_date = today` and `status = APPLIED` in Oracle Receivables. Excludes unapplied and on-account receipts. |
| **Tax treatment**       | Gross (includes any tax originally invoiced).                                                                                                     |
| **Currency**            | Reporting ledger consolidated.                                                                                                                    |
| **Business Unit scope** | Respects dashboard filter.                                                                                                                        |
| **Time window**         | Today (T)                                                                                                                                         |
| **Alert trigger**       | None default; pair with [Cash Application Rate](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/oracle-erp/cash-application-rate).                                        |
| **Roles**               | owner, finance                                                                                                                                    |

## 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**    |

Five things to notice:

1. **$6M day is healthy for a $900M-revenue distributor** (about $2-3M / 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](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/oracle-erp/days-sales-outstanding):** strong daily cash-applied days reduce DSO over the rolling 90D window.

## Sibling cards merchants should reference together

| --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| [Cash Collected](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/oracle-erp/cash-collected)               | 30D rolling.                        |
| [Cash Application Rate](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/oracle-erp/cash-application-rate) | Operational efficiency.             |
| [DSO](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/oracle-erp/days-sales-outstanding)                  | Long-run direction.                 |
| [A/R Aging Detail](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/oracle-erp/a-r-aging-detail)           | Where the cash should flow.         |

## Reconciling against the vendor's own dashboard

**Where to look in Oracle ERP Cloud:**

> **Receivables → Manage Receipts** filter `Application Date = today, Status = APPLIED`
> **OTBI → Receivables Receipts Real Time**

**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. |

**Cross-connector reconciliation:**

This card sums Oracle-side cash applied. The corresponding bank-side feed (via Oracle Cash Management) should match within a day's settlement.

## Known limitations / merchant FAQs

**Why might today be zero?**
Bank holiday, weekend, or lockbox feed delay. Pair with [Cash Collected](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/oracle-erp/cash-collected) 30D for context.

**Includes Cash Sales (POS receipts)?**
Configurable. Default: includes both AR cash receipts and any direct Cash Receipts entered.

**Cross-Business-Unit, can I see per-BU?**
Yes via dashboard filter.

**Time zone, how is "today" defined?**
Workspace timezone; configurable per dashboard.
