Integration Between SLA and Subledgers

 Subledgers generate accounting (source).


 The General Ledger (GL) is the destination of the accounting.
 SLA acts as a layer in between the subledgers and GL.
 Any activity in the subledger raises business events that are predefined
(currently not extendable).
 Create Accounting is run to generate accounting.
 Accounts are generated based on the SLA setup for the subledger and the
event ID.

Test Case 1
Modify Accounting Code Combination For A Negative Revenue Line
 Replace the accounting code combination for negative revenue lines with a
fixed code combination.
 Assumption: All negative revenue lines on an invoice represent discounts.

Business Case
– When booking sales orders, discounts may be provided to customers.
– Discounts can be accounted by setting Order Management (OM) System Options.
– When the sales order is interfaced, there will be a positive revenue line for the
item and a negative revenue line for the discount.
– Since both lines refer to the same item, AutoAccounting will derive the same
account for both lines.
– To book the discount line to a different account, we must use SLA to modify the
Account Derivation Rule.

Test Case 1 : Summary
Modify Accounting Code Combination For A Negative Revenue Line

1. Create 2 new Journal Line Types:


a. Invoice REV lines with amount < 0 (we are assuming that this is a
discount line).
b. All other types of invoice REV lines with amount >= 0.

2. Add the Journal Line Types to the Journal Line Definition created in the
Pre-work.

3. Create a new Account Derivation Rule.

4. Associate the new Account Derivation rule the Journal Line type for
negative revenue lines.

Test Case 2
Replace Freight Accounting
 Replace the accounting code combination for freight lines based on the value
entered in Transaction Information Descriptive Flexfeild (DFF).

Business Case
– Descriptive Flexfields are used to capture specific additional information
determined by business needs.
– This additional information can be used to influence accounting for the
transaction.
– We will use an Invoice Header DFF to capture the Freight Type .
 Based on the Freight Type, we will assign specific accounts to the
invoice header level freight.

Test Case 3
Modify Accounting Combination On Exchange Gain/Loss Lines

 Replace the accounting code combination for exchange gain and


loss based on the Transaction Type Receivable Account or
Remittance Bank Cash Account.

27 Copyright © 2013, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.


Test Case 3
Modify Accounting Combination On Exchange Gain/Loss Lines
Business Case
– Foreign currency transactions typically result in exchange rate
gains/losses.
– In Receivables, accounting for these gains/losses is set in fixed
accounts in System Options.
– This accounting does not allow for tracking the gain/loss on a
departmental / cost center basis.
– SLA can be used to replace the department/cost center segment with
the value on the Transaction Type Receivable Account / Cash Account
on the Remittance Bank.

Additional Information
Best Practices

 When do you use the chart of accounts (Transaction / Accounting)?


– Accounting – To select the segment for the Account Derivation Rule.
– Transaction – When the SLAM of secondary ledger is modified and the
chart of accounts for the primary and secondary ledger are different.

 Make a copy of the existing seeded data and modify it for your needs.

 Ensure that the accounting combinations being used exist and are not
restricted by security rules.

32 Copyright © 2013, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.


Additional Information
Best Practices

 Always validate the Application Accounting Definition after changes to any of


it’s components.

 The SLA: Setup User Mode profile should be set to customer or left blank.

 Review the Available Sources and Application Event Assignment to


determine what attributes can be used when creating Accounting Rules.
