Cash Management Reconciliation Readiness Copy link
Plugin: Blitz Report Excel Add-in Skills (
br-ce-recon-readiness)Works with: Claude in Excel, Microsoft 365 Copilot in Excel
Assess Oracle EBS Cash Management bank reconciliation / period-close readiness in Excel: have the br-run-reports skill extract unreconciled bank statement lines and the GL cash reconciliation, then give a red/amber/green verdict with remediation and build a CE reconciliation-readiness scorecard.
When to use it
- Use when the user asks about bank reconciliation status, unreconciled statements, or cash management period close.
- Download the skill zip. br-ce-recon-readiness.zip
- In Claude in Excel open Customize > Skills > Create skill and upload the zip.
- Connect the Blitz Report Excel add-in to your Oracle EBS instance, then ask Claude for the task in your own words.
- Download the skill folder from GitHub. br-ce-recon-readiness
- Copy the folder into Documents/Copilot/Microsoft Excel/Skills in your OneDrive.
- Open Excel with the Blitz Report add-in connected and ask Copilot for the task.
- Add the Enginatics marketplace in Claude Code.
/plugin marketplace add enginatics/ai-skills - Install the Excel add-in skills plugin.
/plugin install blitz-report-excel-addin-ai-skills@enginatics - Run the setup skill; it installs or updates the skills in Claude in Excel or Microsoft 365 Copilot in Excel.

Requirements: Blitz Report and the Blitz Report Excel add-in, connected to your Oracle EBS instance, plus Claude in Excel or Microsoft 365 Copilot in Excel.
🚨 Blitz data = Excel worksheet UDFs, not MCP tools/connectors. Extract data only by writing
=br_...()into a cell (viaexecute_office_js) and reading the spill — nevertool_searchforbr_*, neverrefresh_mcp_connectors, and never conclude "no Oracle EBS / Blitz connector is set up" (the Blitz Report add-in is an Excel add-in, not an MCP connector, so it never appears in the connector list — its absence there is expected). Load the extraction mechanism first:read_skill("br-run-reports").Performance: Read
br-analytics-standardsat the start of every run (read_skill("br-analytics-standards")). All pipeline steps must follow those rules. Target runtime: under 7 minutes for single-module, under 20 minutes for orchestrations.
Produce a CE reconciliation-readiness scorecard in one workbook. You own orchestration, scoring, and the verdict; br-run-reports does extraction and br-data-dashboard the build. Run steps in order, on separate turns, keeping intermediate sheets.
Requires: br-run-reports, br-data-dashboard.
Division of responsibility — READ FIRST
You do NOT run Blitz reports yourself. All extraction is done by br-run-reports (connection, auth, async run, completion, cell population). Never call br_* functions, and never
rename/read/sum the result sheet or start analysis until extraction is confirmed complete. This
skill is read-and-recommend only: it reports blockers and the recommended action.
When to use
Bank reconciliation status, unreconciled statement lines, GL cash account variance, cash management period close.
Inputs
- Bank Account (one or several) — required; Period / statement date range.
Reports used (authoritative names — do NOT broad-search for them)
These exact report names are known. When you ask br-run-reports to run one, pass the documented name directly — do NOT run a br_report_list_external discovery search first. Inspect
parameters only if you need an exact LOV spelling. Fallback: only if a run returns #BLITZ_REPORT_NOT_FOUND (the instance renamed it, or the module isn't installed) do a name search.
| Report (exact name) | Run with | Notes |
|---|---|---|
CE Transactions Available for Reconciliation | Bank Account + Period | The verdict driver — unreconciled statement lines |
CE General Ledger Reconciliation | Bank Account + Period | GL cash account variance |
CE Bank Statement and Reconciliation (optional) | Bank Account + Period | Statement import / missing-statement check (Review) |
CONFIG
Checks → class + remediation
| Check (source report) | Class | Remediation |
|---|---|---|
Unreconciled statement lines (CE Transactions Available for Reconciliation) | Blocker | Reconcile or clear the open lines |
GL cash account variance (CE General Ledger Reconciliation) | Blocker | Investigate the bank↔GL difference |
Statement import errors / missing statements (CE Bank Statement and Reconciliation) | Review | Import / correct the statement (closed-loop: bank statement import upload) |
Readiness (RAG)
- Red — unreconciled lines or a bank↔GL variance over materiality.
- Amber — only Review-class import items.
- Green — statements imported, lines reconciled, cash ties to GL.
Output sheets & tab order (left to right)
CE_Recon_Readiness (first), GL_Cash_Recon, Unreconciled_Lines (last).
Pipeline
- Extract — DELEGATE. br-run-reports runs "CE Transactions Available for Reconciliation" (Bank Account + period) →
Unreconciled_Lines; then "CE General Ledger Reconciliation" →GL_Cash_Recon. Wait for each; do nothing mid-run. - Anchor. Record unreconciled line count + $ and the GL cash variance. Clean → Green scorecard.
- Score. Apply CONFIG; rank blockers; attach remediation.
- Scorecard (single
execute_office_jscall) (delegate to br-data-dashboard if it fires; else build inline). Write all scorecard sections toCE_Recon_Readinessin one call: RAG banner (account+period); unreconciled lines, GL cash variance, blocking-items list. Any charts follow in a second call.- Build mechanics (learned on a real run): build on a NEW sheet at position 0 (first tab); leave each report on the sheet br-run-reports created (its report name) — do NOT rename it, the dashboard links to it. Do NOT use a multi-row
copyToRangeto fill formula rows (it can latch onto the wrong source box and duplicate headers into the data) — write each row's formula explicitly. After building, scan beyond the dashboard's column range, clear any stray cells, and widen amount columns so values don't render as######.

- Narrative. ≤5 bullets.
- Arrange tabs + final validation. Arrange tabs per CONFIG; make
CE_Recon_Readinessactive. Only after the scorecard. Then do the one permitted verification read: confirm the scorecard's unreconciled line count + $ and the GL cash variance tie to the Step-2 anchor. This is the only explicit re-read allowed in the entire pipeline outside of the anchor step.
Validation
Scorecard ties to raw sheets; Red only if a Blocker exists.
Closed-loop (roadmap, not executed here)
Bank statement import is deliverable via a Blitz Upload. This skill recommends; a human runs it.
