Review of COA Notes
Chart of Accounts (1)
Chart of accounts (COA) is a very flexible, almost free-form,
combination of segments (as many as you like) of different lengths.
You use these segments to flag transactions so that they are
summarized in a meaningful way to your business.
The chart is referred to as 'flexfields', which is the underlying
technology. The acronym 'CCID' (Code Combination Identifier) or the
term Accounting Flexfield' refers to an individual combination of
segment values, or a complete account number.
A specific chart of accounts (complete with values) is associated
with each ledger and the same chart can be associated with many
ledgers.
Oracle specifies only three segments, Natural Account, Balancing
Segment, and Cost Center, as mandatory.

2008 Computer Sciences Corporation 10/29/2017 Page 10


Chart of Accounts (2)
COA is a direct reflection of your reporting needs.
It should contain separate segments for each major reporting item
(company, department, account, etc.)
Each segment should represent a single dimension
Within each segment, parent rollups can be defined to allow
reporting at multiple levels and facilitate mass allocations
Segment values should be numbered to allow for easy ranges when
defining rollups & reports
COA Segment Values
Oracle can dynamically generate combinations of segment values
Cross-validation rules govern what combinations can be created
Parent values can be created that are used to determine a sum of
amounts across a child range

Cost Center
Cost Center is a focal point for a department's expenses. You might
use the cost center to track 'the Finance Department'. In cases
where labor is the most important element of expense, cost centers
in your chart of accounts and the HR Department' discussed earlier
will refer to the same business unit in the real world. The Oracle E-
Business Suite includes the ability to keep them synchronized.
Many customers exploit naming conventions and ranges to facilitate
the combination of individual cost centers in local companies into a
worldwide view of similar cost centers. Ledger security includes a
facility to control accounting access by ranges within chart of
account segments that can be deployed usefully in this context.
Many customers also use cost centers, rather than natural accounts,
to aggregate functional expense types such as 'Research and
Development' or 'Finance'.

Balancing Segment
We previously discussed Balancing Segment in the context of
Ledgers and representations of Legal Entities. A Balancing Segment
is a segment of the COA that forces balancing, meaning that the
Ledger will calculate a receivable and payable between balancing
segments for any entry that crosses them.
BSV facilitates the preparation of full balance sheet and income
statements for each BSV and makes them useful for any business
unit for which you need to track balance sheets.
Customers use balancing segments to identify registered
companies that are accounted for together in a single ledger,
divisions for which they wish to measure balance sheet data and
return on investment, and externally reportable segments.
Use BSV for each LE in a ledger: 01, 02, 03. Other than balancing, no
additional functionality is attached to Balancing Segment.

Natural Account
For many companies, natural account also has an organizational
impact. Companies deploy the natural account in different ways.
Some start 'at the top' with their external reporting lines (for
example, cash, revenue), expand the list to include their
management reporting lines (different types of revenue), and then
expand further to the level of granularity they wish. Others start 'at
the bottom' with detailed departmental expenditure types.
Companies that start with reporting lines often reach the point where
'Finance Salaries', 'Finance Benefits', and so on are natural
accounts, and a report on all Finance accounts delivers the Finance
expense. Those that start at the bottom often use 'Salaries' and
'Benefits' as the natural account and establish a list of cost centers
to be the total finance.

COA Design Considerations (1)
Examine your organization structure to identify how you measure
performance and profitability. You may even want multiple
organizational structures to allow views of the organization from
multiple perspectives. For example, if you have both regional and
country managers, you can set up one segment which is based on
'Location'. You can use summary accounts to roll up managers
from each location to their respective country managers.
Visualize each segment of your account as a unit dimension of
your business. Combine units that are based on similar
dimensions to avoid using multiple segments that measure the
same dimension.
Identify the functions, products, programs, funding sources,
regions, or any other business dimensions you want to track.
Model your LE using the balancing segment so that you can take
advantage of LE features, such as Intercompany Accounting.
2008 Computer Sciences Corporation 10/29/2017 Page 15
COA Design Considerations (2)
Determine your reporting needs. Consider the following questions as
you begin defining your account structure:
What information will better help you manage your organization?
What different ways can you look at your operations?
What kinds of reports do managers ask for? Product or service managers
may want to see a gross margin report for each of their products or
services. Managers responsible for a particular functional area, such as
the Vice President of Research and Development, might want to see an
employee expense report for the entire division.
What reports are currently difficult to prepare?
What reports do you need, that are provided by other financial information
systems such as a revenue tracking system?
What statistical reporting, such as headcount by division, or unit sales by
product, do you want to perform?
Do you need to perform project reporting?
At what levels of detail do you produce reports?
2008 Computer Sciences Corporation 10/29/2017 Page 16
COA Design Considerations (3)
You can define separate segments for:
Legal Entity/Company: you should designate the balancing segment
Cost Center or Department: A segment that indicates functional areas of
your business, such as Accounting, Facilities, Shipping, .
Account: A segment that indicates your 'natural' account, such as Cash,
Accounts Payable, or Salary Expense.
Product: A segment that indicates products, such as disk drives, printer
Program: A segment that indicates programs, such as, for a university,
scholarship program, endowment program, or annual giving program.
District: A segment that indicates geographical locations, such as
Northern California, Central Florida or Western New York.
Distribution Channel: A segment that indicates the method by which your
product reaches your customer, such as Wholesale, Retail, OEM, etc.
Intercompany: A segment that indicates intercompany entities. This
segment usually mirrors your company or legal entity segment.
