PTD without drill down details

From: "Rusty Kimbrell" RKimbrel@pgahq.com

Subject: GL: PTD /NO AUDIT TRAIL

Here's one Ive never seen and cant explain. We have several accounts with PTD activity, (they have no openeing balance and the activity in question is the only activity). However in inquiry when you try to drill down to journal activity , there is none(screen is blank). Same happens with the hard copy analysis report.

I have looked in gl_je_lines,gl_je_sources,and GL_balances , I can find the activity but it returns no related source or JE information.

WHAT IS HAPPENING!!!
Has anyone ever seen this?

Check and make sure there is not a misalignment with GL and PA periods. We ran for 6 months with no problem and started having some similar issues. It turned out that when the pa calendar was setup a period was skipped. When we reached that point in the year the data got out of line.

I have seen this before Rusty. It occurs when the currency provided is not the functional currency and the currency type is translated. If this matches your situation, you cannot inquire on the journal details for the translated balance. Only the balance of the account is translated, not the individual journal entries. You have to review the journal entries in the functional or entered currency.

Multiple Calendars for same data

Hi

Can any of you give me a solution for this problem

How can we report on multiple calendars for the same data ? It's similar to Multiple Reporting Currencies but this is multiple reporting currencies and calendars.

Thanks in advance!

Historical Data Import

Date: Mon, 13 Sep 1999 09:37:26 -0400
From: Dinesh Makked dmakked@deltadentalva.com
To: "'oraapps-l@cpa.qc.ca'" oraapps-l@cpa.qc.ca
Subject: GL Historical Data Import!

We are in the process of installing Oracle Financials for the first time in our Organization.

My question refers to import of historical data into GL. For some reason, we are not going to import all of historical GL Transactions into Oracle GL. Rather we are opting to import balances as of Aug 01, 99 ( Financial Year Jan-Dec) with no balances/activities for periods prior to Aug. All the transactions dated on/after Aug 01, 99 will be imported in detail. Would someone please tell me if doing import this way would cause problems in future?

I am asking this question because someone had suggested the import in different way as described below:
1. Import Balances as of start of Financial Year
2. Import activities for each period and close the period which will automatically calculate opening/closing balances for each period.

I looking forward to your kind help in this matter.

Thanks
Dinesh

You can import balances without any problems. In my US company, they loaded using GLDI all monthly balances fro 3 years.
No problems.

To: oraapps-l@cpa.qc.ca
Subject: Re: GL Historical Data Import!

Dinesh,
The question to ask is "What reporting is required?" If next year, you will want to perform a current year/previous year, period to period comparison from Oracle or generate your year-end financial statements from Oracle, then your second suggestion is required.

Should you continue with the proposed plan, I would recommend that you import the balances as-of July 31st and into the July-99 period instead. In doing so, these population transactions won't be included in your detailed transactions for Aug-99.

Good luck.

Subject: Re: GL Historical Data Import!

Hi ,
I do not entirely agree with Gorre.
We need to import atleast 1 prior year information in OF.If not in GL atleast I am aware of that it gives problem in Fixed Asset for running individual period depreciation.

I suggest that you atleast keep Dec-98 as your first open period ,Load all prior year info in that period and close the year.Than load each month balance for current year till Aug -99.

I hope this clarifies.

Subject: RE: GL Historical Data Import!

Your question is kind of open ended.

My answer would actually be a repetition of some of the answers you may already got.

Decide the date when you are going live !
Load all balances for that current financial year.
Depending upon the reporting needs also load previous years' balances.
The least you should do is to load the current financial years balances.
Ofcourse you could choose to load transactions also , that would create balances!
The best way to load these would be through the GL Interface, and using ADI would give you a Windows based interface.

I hope this helps you decide hoe to go about the balance load issue.

Subject: RE: GL Historical Data Import!

Hi Richard

What we had done in the GL was to load prior year opening balance and then movements for each month so that Oracle calculated the closing balances by month. We then checked that the Retained Earning was calculated correctly by Oracle at the end of that financial year. We then did the same for current year up to the month preceding the go-live period. For transactional history we have an archive system in place if any queries arise.

To answer Bimal on FA, we loaded the legacy balances as the end of the month preceding the go-live period and at this stage without problems.

I would say that the GL load would depend on your reporting requirements as well.

Hope this helps!
Thanks Much

Hello List,

For those of you who have implemented MRC the question is :

Should these MRC Triggers exist in the database?

They DO NOT exist right now.

Thanks for your help!

The following scripts check whether the MRC triggers are missing, invalid, or disabled in your APPS schema. If you have triggers present below, refer to the section at the bottom of this report titled "Installation Exception #3"

Absolutely...
without the triggers, no transaction willbe recorded in your reporting books. Furthermore, you will have to run the MRC upgrade utility to get in all the data that should have been generated in the reporting books (if the triggers were firing).

Subject: RE: Missing MRC Triggers?

HI Fausto,

I would think that all the mRC triggers are needed if you want the MRC functionality to work.

However, there must be a reason for your check to give you such a long list of missing(?) triggers.

Did you run the Maintain MRC schemas option from adinstall / adpatch??

I have never run the script that you have mentioned, but I could do that and let you know myt results. We are live on MRC from MAY-99 and are actively testing as we send each month a separate country into the Apps world.

Let me know if you need more information!

Hope this helps

GL Consolidation Setup

Subject: GL Consolidation Setup Question--Urgent!!

All-

We are on Apps 10.7 Character trying to setup Consolidation Mapping Rules. The form is for some reason forcing us to enter the Account Rules (which we do not want) and after entering the Account Rules, it still does not allow us to navigate to the define Segment Rules window. Have we missed something during the setup or is this a bug?

Kindly help.
