Introduction
This document is a supplement to the GL Configuration Checklist and serves to provide more detail regarding setting up Chart of Accounts (COA) in the PwC Approach for Oracle. If you are setting up a new install from scratch or modifying the PwC Approach for Oracle,
use this document as a guide and modify it as needed to meet Client
requirements. Note that this document only contains the steps that
warrant explanation; refer to the GL Configuration Checklist for an explanation of all the setup steps in the recommended order of execution.
1.1.1. Accounting Flexfield structure
In
Oracle Applications, the accounting flexfield is the account structure
used to classify revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities, and owners’
equity across different business entities. The accounting flexfield can
have multiple segments of multiple lengths and is usually represented as
strings of numbers separated by a segment separator (e.g. ‘-’). The
accounting flexfield is usually less than or equal to twenty-five (25)
characters in length due to the fixed length of the accounting flexfield
field displayed in Oracle Applications forms.
You
can assign segment qualifiers to your accounting flexfield segments.
The required segment qualifiers are balancing segment and natural
account. The balancing segment is typically the legal entity or company
segment. For each value of the balancing segment, the transaction
amounts for that segment need to balance. The “natural” account segment
is used to classify each transaction amount or balance as an asset,
liability, owners’ equity, revenue, or expense. The other segment
qualifiers include the following:
• Cost
Center Segment – indicate functional areas, such as Accounting, Sales,
Shipping, others. Oracle Assets and Oracle Projects require you to
qualify a segment as cost center in your account.
• Management
Segment – used to perform management reporting and secure read and
write access to the segment value. This can be any segment other than
the balancing segment, natural segment and cost center segment.
• Intercompany
Segment – used to track intercompany transactions within a single
ledger and among multiple ledgers. Usually is a mirror of the balancing
segment.
• Secondary
Tracking Segment – allows tracking of retained earnings, cumulative
translation adjustment, and revaluation unrealized gain/loss specific to
balancing and secondary segment value pair. This gives you an option of
displaying unique combination of both primary and secondary segment as a
separate account when querying
t-accounts/activity summaries, and for some standard reports. (Note that this cannot be used with average balances option. Also, once you enable tracking by secondary ledger, you can not disable the same. Refer to the Oracle GL User Guide for more details).
t-accounts/activity summaries, and for some standard reports. (Note that this cannot be used with average balances option. Also, once you enable tracking by secondary ledger, you can not disable the same. Refer to the Oracle GL User Guide for more details).
In addition to company, cost center, and account, the most common segment types include:
• Product
line – includes services and service lines as well as products; allows
for a quick summation of product or service revenue and expense amounts
and isolates the account segment from product or service line changes
• Sales
channel – usually utilized by consumer products manufacturers who sell
material amounts of goods via direct, distributor, and retail channels
• Project – support basic project reporting for management decision-making purposes
• Geographical
entity – usually used by firms competing in geographically specific
markets (e.g., cellular phone companies may use metropolitan statistical
areas to track revenues against a regions’ potential cellular
subscribers.
• Fund
– A segment that indicates a fiscal and accounting entity with a
self-balancing set of accounts for governmental or not-for-profit
organizations.
• Program – segment that indicates programs, such as, for a university, scholarship program, and
endowment program.
endowment program.
• Intercompany – segment indicates intercompany entities, which usually mirrors your company segment.
Each
segment should only represent a single dimension (e.g., ‘Western,’ a
geographical dimension) versus multiple-dimensions (e.g., ‘Western
Region Service Revenue,’ incorporates ‘Western,’ a geographical
dimension, ‘Service,’ a product line dimension, and ‘Revenue,’ an
account dimension). Multiple-dimension values increase maintenance costs
and do not fully utilize the system’s capabilities.
1.1.2. Structure maintenance
It
is difficult to modify the accounting flexfield once transactions have
been entered. However, it is easier to add a segment than to remove one.
Similarly, it is easier to expand segment size than to reduce it. The
principal difficulty of adding or expanding segments is determining how
to convert the data associated with transactions entered before the
change. Defaults can be specified, but if historical categorization
against the added segment or segment characters is needed, extensive
reclassification is required.
Navigation: Setup> Financials> Flexfield> Segments
1.2. Segment values
Segment
values can be set to a pre-defined list by specifying an independent or
table validated value set for the segment. These value sets can be
shared between different Ledgers and different Oracle Applications.
Segment
values can be numeric or alphanumeric. However, segment values should
preferably be numeric because alphanumeric values prevent effective use
of FSG and other reporting tools.
Segment
values should be grouped by ranges to facilitate reporting (e.g., all
checking accounts are five digits, beginning with 100 and ending with
two digits used to distinguish accounts - 10002 (corporate checking
account at Bank of America) and 10003 (corporate checking account at
Wells Fargo)).
System-wide
default values can be assigned to each account segment, although the
system frequently defaults to the last value entered. Specify an account
type of asset, liability, owners’ equity, revenue, expense, budgetary
(DR) or budgetary (CR) when entering segment values for the account
segment.

Define
values that will be assigned as default values for segments in the
accounting flexfield. Typically, the Company segment is not assigned a
default value because unless the client has only one Company code, it is
preferable to control the Company segment default value using security
rules. You can optionally assign default values of 0s to your Product,
Project, and Intercompany Segments.

1.5. Define accounting period types
General
Ledger has predefined calendar period types that support the accounting
calendar: Month, Quarter, and Year. This is a pre-requisite to the
Accounting Setup Manager, but may not need any updates as these period
types are typically sufficient, even when even when a fiscal accounting
calendar (i.e., April to March) is required.
You
can define your own period types to use in addition to the General
Ledger standard period types Month, Quarter and Year. You use these
period types when you define the accounting calendar for your
organization.
Note: Do not change the number of accounting periods per year for a period type. Doing so will cause data corruption.

Description | Description of year type | O |
1.6. Define accounting calendar
The
accounting calendar periods for each year must be defined on an ongoing
basis as part of the year-end procedures. When defining the accounting
calendar for a new year always include JAN of the following year to
ensure that DEC of the new year can be closed without error. To close
the last period of a year, the first period of the next year must exist
and be set to Future Entry before expense and revenue account balances
can be written off to
retained earnings.
retained earnings.
You
can define multiple calendars and assign a different calendar to each
ledger. For example, you can use a quarterly calendar for ledger, and a
monthly calendar for another.
Calendars
you create are validated online. Full calendar validation is launched
whenever you exit the Accounting Calendar window. Carefully consider the
type of calendar you need for your organization, as it can be difficult
to change your calendar (e.g., from a fiscal year to a calendar year)
once you've used it to enter accounting data.
This is a pre-requisite to the Accounting Setup Manager.

Full
calendar validation is launched when you exit the Accounting Calendar
window. Validate the calendar by viewing or printing the Calendar
Validation Report. This report helps you identify any errors in your
calendar that might interfere with the proper operation of General
Ledger.
1.7. Define transaction calendar
If
you enable average balance processing enabled, you must assign a
transaction calendar, which is used to control transaction posting in
Oracle General Ledger and Oracle Sub ledger accounting. When you define
the transaction calendar, you choose which days of the week will be
business days. You can also specify other non-business days, such as
holidays, by maintaining the transaction calendar.
Transaction
calendars ensure that journals created in Oracle General Ledger and
Oracle Sub ledger Accounting are only posted on valid business days.

Accounting Setup Manager:
Oracle
General Ledger R12 uses the Accounting Setup Manager to define
accounting setups. The Accounting Setup Manager centralizes the setup
steps for common setup components that are shared across the Oracle
Financial Applications.
This includes the following:
• Legal Entities
• Ledgers (primary and secondary ledgers)
• Reporting Currencies
• Oracle Sub ledger Accounting (SLA)
• Intercompany Accounts
• Intercompany balancing rules
• Sequencing Options
The basic accounting setup process consists of the following:
1. Create
an Accounting Setup Structure – creates the framework of the accounting
setup and identifies legal entities, if any, the type of accounting
setup, and ledgers.
2. Complete
Accounting Options – complete different accounting options to specify
how to perform accounting and process transactions. These include the
following:
• Ledger Options
• Reporting Currency Options
• Sub ledger Accounting Options
• Intercompany Accounts
• Intercompany balancing rules
• Sequencing Options
3. Complete
Accounting Setup – Completing the accounting setup marks the accounting
setup complete and launches the General Ledger Accounting Setup
program. The GL Accounting Setup program performs the necessary
validations to make the setup components of an accounting setup ready
for transaction processing and journal entry
To
create accounting setups, complete General Ledger prerequisites used to
create ledgers and other setup components in Accounting Setup Manager.

Navigate to: | Setup > Financials > Accounting Manager Setup > Accounting Setups1.8. Define primary ledgerDefine Accounting Representations screen is where you define your primary and secondary ledgers. Ledgers determine the currency, chart of accounts, accounting calendars, ledger processing option and Subledger accounting method.Each accounting setup requires a primary ledger and optionally one or more secondary ledgers and reporting currencies. Note that the definition of the primary ledger can only be completed after you complete attributes (including ledger options) you enable for the primary ledger. For example, during the initial definition of the primary ledger, you chose to add reporting currency and add a secondary ledger. For ledger options, you also choose to assign balancing segment values. You then need to complete these attributes before you can complete definition of the primary ledger. The ‘Complete’ button used to create and validate your ledger will only be available once all attributes for your primary ledger are completed. Alternatively, you can choose not to add a reporting currency and a secondary ledger during initial definition of the primary ledger, and tag all ledger options as complete. This would facilitate completion of the primary ledger. You can then add the reporting currency, secondary ledger and other ledger options at a later point in time. |

This account is needed to translate the ledger's currency balances into a balance level reporting currency. For journal level reporting currencies, this account is used when revaluing foreign currency denominated balances. General Ledger automatically posts any net adjustments resulting from currency translation to this account, in accordance with FAS 52 (U.S.) and IAS 21. If you have multiple companies or balancing entities within a ledger, General Ledger automatically creates a translation adjustment account for each company or balancing entity. The difference in revaluation adjustments between the ledger and its journal level reporting currencies are recorded to the cumulative translation adjustment account. | O |
