Unclaim Unidentified Receipts and Branch Deposits

When a previously claimed unidentified university receipt (check, ACH, or wire) or branch deposit (cash or check) must be corrected or reversed—for example, if the claim was made in error, the receipt needs reallocation to different PTAE/PFO accounts, or duplicate or incorrect information is discovered. Unclaiming returns the record to an unclaimed status so it can be corrected or reassigned. Learn more in the Topic Overview: Deposit Cash and Checks.
 

Unclaim Unidentified Receipts and Branch Deposits

  • Only the person who originally submitted the claim in the Deposits and Receipts Manager system can unclaim (reverse) that claim.
  • If the intent is to change the claimed amount or the PTAE/PFO account allocation, the user must first unclaim their original claim and then reclaim the receipt with the corrected amount and allocations. Learn more in the How To: Claim Unidentified Receipts and Branch Deposits.
  • Claims may be full or partial and may span multiple PTAE/PFO accounts; the user should identify which portion(s) they submitted before processing the unclaim.
  • Have the transaction details ready (statement date, bank transaction number, original and claimed amounts, deposit type, originator, and any receipt or deposit slip) to locate and reprocess the receipt.

What Happens Next?

Unclaiming a transaction posts a debit (reversal) to the PTAE or PFO specified on the original claim and triggers an Oracle notification. The claim is removed from the My Claims search page, and the unidentified receipt or branch deposit is returned to the Claim Branch Deposit / Unidentified Receipt page for re‑claiming.

The debit posts immediately in Oracle Financials and will be visible in Oracle Business Intelligence (OBI) financial reports on the next business day.
