Payables: Reversing swept transactions or sweeping future period transactions?

As I work on the Close for Receivables tonight, the document on MOS "How do you unsweep/reverse the sweep for transactions swept by the Unaccounted Transaction Sweep Program? How do you sweep transactions entered in a future period that was mistakenly opened to a previous period?" from article ID 2094016.1 seems especially penitent!  Check this out for the answers AND participate in the Payables Community by voting on the associated Enhancement Request!

R12.1.3 Receivables: Cannot Close period with unposted adjustment

If you have had to deal with Closing a period in A/P or A/R, you are probably very cognizant about unposted transactions holding up the process!  The article "Unable to Close the Period Due to Unposted Adjustment" on My Oracle Support in document ID 2077446.1 gives us yet another reason how a transaction can be in such an incorrect state so it requires an SR to get a datafix, but with the script and information provided we can build a proactive alert against that situation!

R12.1.3 Payables: Performance issue with Period Close

MOS article ID 1408983.1 for "Performance issue with the Payables Period Close" reports that this can take up to 30-45 minutes to run due to a combination of wrong table in the query and lack of index so make sure you check the version you have of the files for this and patch if needed!

Weekend Learning: New A/R program for Month-end Close

If you did not get the chance to hear my co-worker's presentation (@viswavadlamani) during OAUG's COLLABORATE conference, you may have missed a new development from Oracle regarding the Account Receivables module at Month-end Close!  Have you ever had transactions which prevent the A/R period from being closed?  Have you had to open P1 SRs to engage Oracle during the Close cycle?  Visit the document on My Oracle Support "How to Setup the New Manage Accounting Exception Program in Receivables?" via note ID 1937611.1 for all the details on a new concurrent manager process which appears to wrap some of their known issue identification scripts in order to find these issues PRIOR to Close!
