The AR Transaction Tool at the menu portion

FUNCTION SECURITY
You may not have access to every window, button, or tabbed region within a
workbench. This is because your system administrator may be using Function Security
to prevent users with your responsibility from performing specific Receivables
operations. For example, your responsibility might allow you to enter receipts but
prevent you from deleting them. For more information, see: Function Security in Oracle
Receivables, Oracle Receivables Implementation Guide.

Folders
Several of the windows in the Receivables workbenches are folders. Folders let you
choose which fields you want to view and where they appear in a window. You can tell
if a window is a folder if an open folder icon appears at the top left portion of the
window. Additionally, if the profile option Flexview: Allow Customization is set to Yes,
you can save your customizations to a particular window to quickly retrieve that subset
of records later. You can modify the appearance of a folder by choosing options on the
Folder menu.

Tools menu
In the Receipts, Transactions, and Bills Receivable Workbenches, the Tools pulldown
menu lets you perform operations in addition to those provided by the action buttons.

View Accounting Windows
In the Receipts and Transactions workbenches you can view the detail accounting lines
for an item in the form of a balanced accounting entry (i.e., debits equal credits) by
choosing View Accounting from the Tools menu. You can also choose to view the detail
accounting as t-accounts. Use these features to see how a transaction affects the account
balances in your general ledger.

Default Attributes
When you enter transactions individually, Receivables provides default values for the
following attributes in the Transactions and the Transactions Summary windows:
• Date
• Currency
You can also define the profile option AR: Transaction Batch Source to provide a default
batch source for your transactions. This profile option determines the value of the Batch
field in the Transactions, Transactions Summary, Transaction Batches, Transaction
Batches Summary, and Credit Transactions windows.

Question:
What is the difference between a transaction batch and transaction?

Folder Windows
The following windows in the Transactions Workbench are Folder windows. You can
customize the appearance of these windows by selecting options from the Folder menu:

• Transaction Batches Summary
• Transactions Summary

For many years I worked in palliative care. My patients were those who had gone home to die. Some incredibly special times were shared. I was with them for the last three to twelve weeks of their lives.
People grow a lot when they are faced with their own mortality. I learned never to underestimate someone’s capacity for growth. Some changes were phenomenal. Each experienced a variety of emotions, as expected, denial, fear, anger, remorse, more denial and eventually acceptance. Every single patient found their peace before they departed though, every one of them.
When questioned about any regrets they had or anything they would do differently, common themes surfaced again and again. Here are the most common five:

1. I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me
This was the most common regret of all. When people realize that their life is almost over and look back clearly on it, it is easy to see how many dreams have gone unfulfilled. Most people have had not honored even a half of their dreams and had to die knowing that it was due to choices they had made, or not made.

It is very important to try and honor at least some of your dreams along the way.

From the moment that you lose your health, it is too late. Health brings a freedom very few realize, until they no longer have it.

2. I wish I didn’t work so hard
This came from every male patient that I nursed. They missed their children’s youth and their partner’s companionship.

Women also spoke of this regret. But as most were from an older generation, many of the female patients had not been breadwinners. All of the men I nursed deeply regretted spending so much of their lives on the treadmill of a work existence.
By simplifying your lifestyle and making conscious choices along the way, it is possible to not need the income that you think you do. And by creating more space in your life, you become happier and more open to new opportunities, ones more suited to your new lifestyle.

3. I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings
Many people suppressed their feelings in order to keep peace with others. Many developed illnesses relating to the bitterness and resentment they carried as a result.

As a result, they settled for a mediocre existence and never became who they were truly capable of becoming.

We cannot control the reactions of others. However, although people may initially react when you change the way you are by speaking honestly, in the end it raises the relationship to a whole new and healthier level. Either that or it releases the unhealthy relationship from your life. Either way, you win.

4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends
Often they would not truly realize the full benefits of old friends until their dying weeks and it was not always possible to track them down. Many had become so caught up in their own lives that they had let golden friendships slip by over the years. There were many deep regrets about not giving friendships the time and effort that they deserved. Everyone misses their friends when they are dying.

It is common for anyone in a busy lifestyle to let friendships slip. But when you are faced with your approaching death, the physical details of life fall away. People do want to get their financial affairs in order if possible. But it is not money or status that holds the true importance for them. They want to get things in order more for the benefit of those they love. Usually though, they are too ill and weary to ever manage this task. It is all comes down to love and relationships in the end. That is all that remains in the final weeks, love and relationships.

5. I wish that I had let myself be happier
This is a surprisingly common one.

Many did not realize until the end that happiness is a choice.

They had stayed stuck in old patterns and habits. The so-called ‘comfort’ of familiarity overflowed into their emotions, as well as their physical lives. Fear of change had them pretending to others, and to their selves, that they were content. When deep within, they longed to laugh properly and have silliness in their life again.
When you are on your deathbed, what others think of you is a long way from your mind. How wonderful to be able to let go and smile again, long before you are dying.

Life is a choice. It is YOUR life. Choose consciously, choose wisely, choose honestly. Choose happiness.

Life is full of hills and valleys,
some of which would want us to quit along the way.

It is during these times
that we need to check our focus and remember that

- the focus needs to be on the finish,
not the difficulties along the way.

Set your eye on the goals.
Do not be worried of the difficulties on your way,

keep your focus on your goals.
