GL Inquiry

Date: Mon, 14 Jun 1999 09:31:44 -0700 (PDT)
From: rajendra nagaraju rnagaraju@yahoo.com
Subject: GL Inquiry- URGENT

On the account inquiry in GL, when you inquire on a AR/AP account, the transactions show up in detail, on a distribution line basis.

Our client wants it on a transaction level detail, i.e., at the payment/receipt and invoice HEADER LEVEL and not at the line level. Is there a way of doing this at the reportinglevel OR is it a POSTING option?

Appreciate your help,
Regards,
Raj

Are they running their AP/AR interface to GL processes in detail or summary?

Subject: RE: GL Inquiry- URGENT

Hi,

They are running it in detail.

But, even if we run it in summary, it will roll up all distribution lines for a single account into one line. And, when you drill down into the subledger using 'Subledger Details' on the account inquiry screen, details show up on a distribution level and not on the header level.

Thanks, Raj



GL Balances

Date: Mon, 14 Jun 1999 14:37:56 -0400
From: ddicondina@SUNGARDRS.COM
Subject: GL_Balances

I'm hoping someone can help me. I'm trying to extract translated amounts from the gl_balances table and I'm getting no records. The functional currency for set_of_books_id = 2 is Canadian dollars and set_of_books_id = 6 is Mexican Pesos. I'm trying to query the US $ amounts to no avail. Below is my SQL statement for you to review.

CREATE VIEW pre_con AS
select code.segment1, code.segment10, period_net_dr,
period_net_cr, balance.period_name Month, books.short_name
from gl_code_combinations code, gl_balances balance, gl_sets_of_books books
where code.code_combination_id = balance.code_combination_id
and books.set_of_books_id = balance.set_of_books_id
and books.chart_of_accounts_id = code.chart_of_accounts_id
and books.currency_code = balance.currency_code
and balance.actual_flag = 'A'
and balance.period_name = '&period_name'
and books.set_of_books_id in (2,6)

Subject: GL-OVERRIDE FUNDS (BUDGETARY CONTROL-SETUP)

Hi,

I have a problem :To Automate the overriding of Funds when transactions are transferred from Legacy system (Pension payroll system-PPS) to Oracle General Ledger .

In AOL when we go to Journal Enter screen we find MORE ACTIONS Button and in that we find CHECK FUNDS and RESERVE FUNDS . So we are running this process every week and there are lot of transactions for a week . So the problem is when we CHECK FUNDS it is Failing and after that when we do RESERVE FUNDS it is giving the Below ERROR : "YOUR TRANSACTION OF AMOUNT 213.67 ON ACCOUNT 5513-345435-23423432 FAILED FUNDS RESERVATION . DO YOU WANT TO OVERRIDE THIS FUNDS RESERVATION

FAILUIRE ?
NO YES

So we are saying YES,YES for each and every line (JE lines) . This process is taking 2hrs to Run .Is there a process where I can say YES_TO_ALL by doing Customization of Form ? Or Any thing I can manage in BUDGETARY CONTROL SETUP'S . What Oracle is providing is manually override the process . I want this to be Automate .Please suggest me . I appreciate your Response ...

Thanks,

Budget transfer - offset line problem

Date: Tue, 22 Jun 1999 19:49:25 -0400
From: Andre Lauzier andrel@synapse.net
Subject: Budget Transfers

In our organization we do process many budget transfers using Oracle Financials 10.7. Through the processing/reserving funds of budget transfers, occasionaly just the one line is posted to GL and the offset line is absent completely or only the amount is missing. Did other Oracle Financials users experienced such a problem, and if yes what is the approach to correct this problem.

Thanks

Subject: RE: Budget Transfers

How are you entering your budget transfers?

Budget journal entries do not have to be balanced. You can create a one-sided budget journal via Enter Budget Journals, or by Mass Budget Allocations without specifying an offset; both of these can generate a single-side budget journal that is postable.

Journal Import with Security Rules

Date: Fri, 25 Jun 1999 15:01:07 -0700 (PDT)
From: Murali Avanamuthu mavanamuthu@yahoo.com
Subject: GL: Security rules

Hi,

I have a question regarding the security rules. I've a SOB defined which will have 2 companies C1 and C2(balancing segment). So I've defined 3 security rules.

Rule 1: Include both companies C1 and C2
Rule 2: Include C1 only
Rule 3: Include C2 only.

Then I've 3 responsibilities - 'C1C2 SuperUser' which is assigned with Rule 1. 'C1 User' assigned to Rule 2. 'C2 User' assigned to Rule 3.

Then I import a batch through Journal Import, logging in as 'C2 User'. I've journal lines with both C1 and C2 in them.

When I log into 'C1 User', I show the correct total, but only the lines with company C1. (which makes sense). The same behaviour with C2 as well. But when I go into 'C1C2 SuperUser' responsbility, the journal line shows only some of the journals with C2. The rest of journal lines with C2 and all journal lines with C1 are not displayed. I would have expected to see all the journal lines in this responsibility.

The fact that the journal import was run with 'C2 User', be the cause of this problem??. Should we always import with 'C1C2 SuperUser' resp.? OR are we missing any setup?

We're on 11.0.2

Thanks, Murali

If you have transfered your data from AR to GL as detail only then it is possible to see the same information from gl_je_lines table , you will find the same columns (e.g. reference_1...reference_10).

Hope it will help u

But the problem is the records I tranfered from AR to Gl, it was lying in GL_IMPORT_REFERENCES, before I posted into GL, I deleted it through the option in the GL Menu. Is there anyway I can retrieve back the details.

Drill down to external Subledger from GL

Date: Tue, 29 Jun 1999 09:34:52 -0400
From: "Marzieh Hariri" mhariri@russelmetals.com
Subject: Drill down to external subledger from GL.

Hello all:

We are seeking information with regards to drill down from GL to an external subledger.

Requirements:
Posting to GL should be done in summary.
Drill down info should be in detail.
Example:

Posting CCID 01-020-8900-1000-0000 in GL ,drill down should be able to see all 10 detailed lines that summarize into this account from the subledger.

At this point we are thinking of importing subledger info in a custom oracle table which has the same layout as gl_interface. Summarize the info and load GL_interface.Keep some id in one of the ref#'s which can tie back to our custom table related lines.

And ofcourse we'll have to customize forms and .......

Anybody else done this?
Are there 3rd party software with this capability?

Please share your experience with us it is very much appreciated.
Thanx.

Hi Marzieh Hariri,

I think u may think of another alternative. GL_IMPORT_REFERENCES table should solve the problem. It stores the reference information of which transactions are clubbed and sent to gl_je_lines. Set up journal source being used to import references.

We have also considered that table but the problem is then we have to import the data in detail and we don't want that.
Any other ideas.

I was trying to setup another set of books. And I also setup new responsibilities ans attached the new set of books to them. However, only the GL responsibility works. If I use the payables responsibility, I can only see the old set of books and I cannot change to the new one.

Can someone tell me what I need to do to get this work? I am 10.7 SC. Thanks a lot.


Encumberance and reporting

Date: Wed, 7 Jul 1999 13:35:48 -0700 (PDT)
From: Jim Phillips mars_60521@yahoo.com
Subject: GL: Encumbrances and Reporting

All,

Once we do the Encumbrance carry forward of prior year budget encumbrances, related budget and funds available into the next years budget, are there standard reports that allow for reporting on prior year budget encumbrances separately from current year encumbrances. Or do we need to use FSGs for this purpose.

In short, is Reporting possible segregating last year encumbrance and budget from current year encumbrance and budget info.

Thanks allo for all the replies.
Jim.

All,

I have two budgets 98 and 99.

Funds available are being carried forward from 98 budget to 99 budget.

When i navigate to Funds CarryForward form and choose Funds Available carryforward, the "FROM BUDDGET" field does not have any list of value for budget entries. It is a required field to carry forward funds one budget to another.

Any thoughts or suggestions where i might be erroring out here.

Inter Company Account Balances

Date: Mon, 12 Jul 1999 14:40:46 +0400
From: Chetan Banglorewala ChetanB@allied-medical.co.ae
Subject: GL - Inter Company account balances

Hi GL Experts,

We are implementing GL on 10.7 SC and have the following requirement;

1. We have 4 companies (say A, B, C, D) within a single set of books. The balance inter-company option has been enabled.
2. The requirement is to get separate inter company balance for each company. i.e. in the books of Company A,

- Interco A -B
- Interco A - C
- Interco A - D

3. Similarly, the balances are required for company B, C & D.
4. The inter- company journals arises from transactions in AP (as only 1 AP control account used and payment is also from 1 account) and Inventory. The Automatic offset accounting option in AP is not used, as Cash Management is also installed.
5. I defined separate categories such as A & B- invoices, A & B- payments, etc and defined intercompany account for the same. The idea was to enter inter company transactions in a separate batch and then transfer it separately to GL. But I note that when journals are imported from AP to GL, the default categories for AP invoices (Purchase invoices) and AP payments (payments) cannot be changed, even if the 'Freeze journal import' option for Payables source is disabled.

Can anyone please share their experiences for workarounds, if any.
Regards,
Chetan Banglorewala



Reports on items after being translated into different currency

Date: Tue, 13 Jul 1999 14:57:34 -0400
From: clare_cruickshank@dofasco.ca
Subject: General Ledger: Translation

Is anyone able to run a detailed report in a translated currency. My functional currency is US and after translation to Cdn $, when I run an account analysis or general ledger report, I only get information on items that were entered in the translated currency, and not items that are entered in US and translated. With the translated trial balance I can get balances, but for reconciliation purposes it would be useful to have detailed information.


How to get details after posting Journals in summary mode

Date: Thu, 15 Jul 1999 12:16:28 -0600
From: ORA_APPS ORA_APPS@sodak-gaming.com
Subject: Posting receipts to GL in summary

We are currently using 10.7SC. All of our receipts are direct delivery. This means that it creates one entry debiting and crediting a receiving accrual account for the receiving and another entry debiting raw materials and crediting the receiving accrual account for delivery into inventory. We are currently posting our purchasing receipts to GL in detail weekly, but would like to post in summary. Does anyone know of a report that we could run if we ever want to go back and find the detail of that GL batch for the receiving side? I can run a material distribution report for the delivery to inventory, but haven't had any luck finding a report showing the detail of the first entry into receiving. Since purchasing is not a direct subledger to GL, I cannot drill back from GL. I cannot specify a particular GL date on the accrual rebuild report, so this does not help. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks, Kathleen

From: "niitsrei Ora" niitsrei_ora@hotmail.com
Subject: Opening Balance Creation

Dear Everybody,

Creation of opening balances after the implementation seem to be a very tricky issue. In our case the same have become very debatable because
1. the client has drastically changed the chart of accounts.
2. the client has a strict requirement for ability to view the legacy data balances via Ora Apps itself.

I will appreciate if you could throw some meaningful light into this area of implementation.
Looking forward to a qucik response.
Thanks in advance Pawan Singh

Subject: GL-Budgetary Control setup / GLXJEENT.fmb Form

Hi Friends ,
I have a question in GL Budgetary Control Setup ..... We are on Oracle Govt. General Ledger 10.7 SC GUI Here we are posting all the transactions from Project Accounting to General Ledger every week (i.e a Batch) . So when I go to Journal Enter form and go to "MORE ACTIONS" button in it there is another button called "CHECK FUNDS" that checks the funds and as there is no budget for us so the Check Funds Failure Occurs and we go to view results it prints the Report by pressing the "PRINT ERRORS AND WARNINGS" After that we are hitting the button "RESERVE FUNDS" the main problem here comes as soon as I hit the RESERVE FUNDS button that process is taking a hour after that it is asking """YOUR TRANSACTION OF AMOUNT 213.8 ON ACCOUNT 123-2143123-123123-123123 .. FAILED FUNDS RESERVATION . DO YOU WANT TO OVERRIDE THE FUNDS RESERVATION FAILURE ? """ SAY --- YES OR NO So we are saying yes,yes,yes etc.... for each and every line in the batch (i.e may be 4000 lines for a week we are pressing 4000 times yes,yes,yes, etc......) . Our client want this to be Automated or is there a way to remove the Alert which is coming in the Form .. (i.e GLXJEENT.FMB FORM) .. Or anything we can do in the Budgetary control setup Our budgetary control here is ABSOLUTE .... Shall I do the form Customization or Budgetary control setups ? If Form Customization where should I find this message ? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated .
