Segment Qualifier - Reconciliation Flag

Subject: Reconcilation Flag Segment Qualifier

Hello All!
In R11, when you setup a value for your accounting flexfield, for example, a natural account, there is a segment qualifier called 'Reconcilation Flag'. (You can specify a value of 'Yes' or 'No'). What does this mean and what is the impact?

Thanks for the help!

Subject: Re: Reconcilation Flag Segment Qualifier

Trang,

This flag means that you can use the GL functionnality "Reconciliation" on this account. Basically, all the accounting flex including this account could have DR and CR reconcilied. If the flag is No, you will not be able to select such account for reconciliation.

Functionnally speaking, you reconcile accounts with a lot of identical DR and CR movements (transit accounts,loans, accruals....).

Once all the reconciliation process is performed, the balance could then be explained straightforward : it is composed of the "unreconcilied items" (there is a standard report on these items. In R10.7, a small customization was required to have totals on this report, I do not know how is it in R11). Another customization should also cover the General Ledger, as in some countries, accountants require reconcilied items to be removed from that report (was not the case in standard). In R11, I know that the features around reconciliation are much better than in R10.7 (find, reconciliation flagging and deflagging...).

The accounting clercks responsible for account reconciliation has just to "age" the outstanding items to see if all the adequate entries have been done, especially when it comes to accrual made for reporting purposes and not automatically reversed (classical closure time headache !!).

Hope this will help you.

Reconcialiation segment is used if your site uses localizations for your country or region.

Mohan,

Do not agree : reconciliation has nothing to do with average balance processing. See the email I already posted to the list on "Reconciliation".

Hi, there,
We have helped one client implement GL 10.7 characters mode. After that, the client has changed the balancing segment from Currency segment to Company segment . But it seems not taking effect. How to make this change taking effect?
Thanks a lot in advance, and best regards,

Hi Friends,

I hv defined the following segments for the Assets Category Flexfield:

Number   Name     Column
1      FA type seg      Segment 1
2      FA main seg      Segment 3
3      FA sub seg      Segment 4

FA type seg is Independent, FA main seg is Independent and FA sub is dependent upon FA main seg. I hv defined values in all the value sets and also defined the Assets Categories in Asset Categories form. At the time of quering my assets categories, I am getting the follwing message, can any one explain the reason?

APP-588 Program error: An error has occurred while looking up a flexfield segment combination. Please inform your support representative that: The FND_FLEX_SERVER validation function has encountered a null or negative combination ID (-1) while trying to look up the segment values for this combination.

sanjay,

we also encountered the same error while defining an independent and dependent value set. The error was due to the dependent value set not correctly defined. Define your value set and recompile your flexfield again and try.

When defining your asset category flex, check the following:

Major Category Identifier is defined on one of your 3 segments. A default value has been defined for each value set attached to the depending segments. The column number should be 1, 2 and 3.

Hope this help

Subject: Re: Assets Category Flexfields: Urgent

All the points mentioned by you has been taken care of, but for the choice of Segment numbers. I think, by mistake Segment 3 was chosen from the LOV while defining the second segment. I understand these Segment numbers represents the Column at the back-end tables. In the case of Asset Category FF, we are allowed 7 segments, does chosing 3 instead of 3 makes a difference.

TIA

Hi Ravi,

I hv checked the dependent value set. There seems to be no prob. I hv even tried making a quick addition, while entering the Asset category, the dependent values r coming perfectly on the basis of the independent values, e.g. for Furniture & Fittings Main Category, I can pick from Tables, Chairs etc. from the Sub Category LOV but it is not creating the asset.

Help!!!!

But after creating an asset using this combo, I am not been able to query my asset. The trn is being saved and asset # is automatically generated but when I am qerring that asset, I am getting the following msg:

Interfacing values into AKFF Segment

Subject: Interfacing values into AKFF Segment - Error ON-UPDATE trigger

Hi,

We are in 10.7 SC GUI. I am populating PARENT Values only from legacy system into AKFF Segment which is NOT a balancing/accounting/cc segment.The segment validation is Independent. I populated fnd_flex_values, fnd_flex_value_norm_hierarchy and fnd_flex_value_hierarchies tables. I am able to find the new values in Segment Values window form and it picks-up the relevant child values, the new parent values shows up in Hierarchy Editor and also in COA Segment Value listing Report. But while I try to update the values (the description, enabled flag, hierarchy level, qualifier)in Segment Values window form it raises the following error: FRM-40735: ON-UPDATE trigger raised unhandled exception NO-DATA-FOUND. How do I sort this out? Thanks in Advance.

Hi Philip,
Thanks I am able to modify values in the Segment Values form. Inspite of me populating fnd_flex_value_hierarchies table it gets overwritten subsequently - so shall I avoid populating that table? Will it have any adverse effect if I did so?

Sorry I haven't had a need to update/insert into the fnd_flex_value_hierarchies table directly so I haven't had a close look at this table. What do you mean "gets overwritten"? The application overwrites your rows or your script overwrites earlier inserts?

Hi Philip,
Initially I populated fnd_flex_value_hierarchies table which was overwritten by application. Subsequently I found out whenever a child range is modified for a parent, a concurrent request (Compile Value Hierarchies) is being submitted which updates fnd_flex_value_hierarchies table and hence no need to populate fnd_flex_value_hierarchies table while interfacing data into AKFF Segment.
Thanks and regards,

I have a question about validation and cross reference rules for the key flexfields in GL. I am in need of a function (API?) that can do this for me. Is there such a function in Oracle Application? or do I have to develop one of my own from scratch???

T

You may wish to try either of the following packages:
FND_FLEX_EXT
FND_FLEX_KEYVAL

They both provide various APIs to convert segments to CCID and vica versa, cross-validate segments/CCIDs, create CCIDs, etc. Full documentation is provided in the package specifications.

In short, FND_FLEX_EXT provides a high level interface to the key flexfield, using a pl/sql table data-structure called SegmentArray to represent your segments in their logical order. FND_FLEX_KEYVAL is a more low level interface, which manages a concatanated string of segments. I've found FND_FLEX_KEYVAL gives you the added ability to cross-validate the segments without creating the combination, if necessary.

Disabled Combos - removal of

From: Jeanine_Bailey@COW.mav.asn.au

Subject: Removal of disabled GL account combination

Once a combination has been disabled, is there any way to prevent it from appearing on FSG reports? We have a number of invalid combinations which occured when we had dynamic insertion on during the set up of our site. These combinations have no transactions or balances, but if they are within the flexfield ranges selected in FSGs, still appear on the reports. It is not feasible to hide the rows, as this would require a lot of manual intervention for each report.
Any suggestions would be appreciated

You can set the flag DISPLAY ZERO=NO in the rows. This will not show any lines that have (net) zero amount.
