Source: PWC, 9th Annual Global CEO Survey

Globalization is unstoppable. Regardless of geography, industry or income, companies are globalizing to gain new customers and access new markets. Is this a good thing? Nearly two-thirds of the CEOs we surveyed

are positive about the impact that globalization will have on their

organizations over the next three years.

Management Reporting and Security

• Managers enter adjustments using their management segment value

• Data access set security ensures managers only update/view info. for their area of responsibility

Data Access Sets

72

Data Access Sets Description

• Access multiple legal entities and ledgers from a single GL responsibility using the GL: Data Access Set profile option

• Assign Ledgers and Ledger Sets to Data Access Sets• Optionally specify read and write privileges to:

– Entire Ledgers– Specific Balancing Segment Values (a.k.a Legal Entities if

BSVs assigned to Legal Entities)– Specific Management Segment Values

• When you assign specific balancing or management segment values, you can specify all values, parent values that include children, or child values individually

• iSetup API for Data Access Sets available

73


• Full Ledger Access means:– You have full read and write access to the ledger– You have full read and write access to all balancing segment

values or management segment values• The Full Ledger access set type provides better system

performance than balancing or management segment type• Full Ledger Access is required for the following processes:

– Opening and closing periods– Creating summary accounts– Creating budgets– Performing Mass Maintenance

74


Ledgers must share same COA/Calendar

combination

Assign ledgers and/or ledger sets

Specify Read Only or Read/Write Access

COA must have management

segment to use

75


• Data Access Set– GL: Set of Books profile option now renamed to GL

Ledger Name– GL Ledger name profile option allows access to only one

ledger and its reporting currencies.– If you choose to use the GL Ledger Name profile option,

the system will automatically assign the same ledger to the GL: Data Access Set profile option.

– R11i responsibilities will be upgraded with DAS to the ledger and all of its reporting currencies.

– If you set the GL: Data Access Set profile option, then the GL Ledger Name profile option is ignored

Mass Allocations and Recurring JournalsData Security• Control Accounts• Prevent Reversal of Journals with Frozen Sources• Prevent Reversal of Unposted Journals

Others• Enhanced Intercompany• Intercompany Balancing Support for Encumbrances• Enhanced Tax Solution

Accounting Sequencing andReporting Sequencing

95

Accounting and Reporting Sequencing

Accounting Sequencing• Sequence GL journals when posted in GL

– Validate Sequence (Select Which Sequence to Use) — By Journal Effective Date

– Assign Sequence (Sort) — By Journal Effective Date

• Replaces Global Accounting Engine (AX) legal sequencing

96


Reporting Sequencing• Sequence GL Journals when you close a GL Period

– Validate Sequence (Select Which Sequence to Use) — By Journal Effective Date or Reference Date (Libro Giornale)

– Assign Sequence (Sort) — By Journal Effective Date or Posting Date

– When period is re-opened, the sequences are removed to ensure gapless sequence

• For Reporting Sequencing, if you assign specific BSV, you can indicate which BSVs are categorized as fiscal. When GL period is closed, only fiscal journal entries are sequenced.

• Reporting Sequencing requires Business Events, Period Close and Period Reopen, to be enabled

• Replaces Global Accounting Engine (AX) Libro Giornale (Italian Journal Book) feature

97


• Assign mutually exclusive sequences based on: – Ledgers or Reporting Currencies– Journal Sources or Journal Categories– Balance types (actual, budget, encumbrance)

Assigned during

period close

Assigned during posting

98


• If you used the Legal Sequencing feature or Libro Giornale (Italian Journal Book) feature in Global Accounting Engine (AX) in R11i, the setup will not be upgraded to accounting/reporting sequence.

• You need to reimplement sequencing using the accounting/reporting sequencing feature.

Journal Line Reconciliation

100


Journal Line Reconciliation• Reconcile journal lines that should net to zero, such as

suspense accounts, or payroll and tax payable accounts• Reconcile manually

– any combination of journals lines that net to zero• Reconcile automatically for journal lines that net to zero and

– matching account combination and reference – matching balancing segment and reference– matching balancing segment, natural account and blank

reference, or – matching balancing segment, natural account, and reference.

• Run the automatic reconciliation program to get preliminary report on the lines that will be reconciled

101


EnterReconciliation Reference

102

Global and Upgrade Considerations

Global Considerations• Formerly known as the GL Entry Reconciliation feature

within Oracle Financials Common Country Features• No country-specific localizations are needed; journal

reconciliation is now included in the base General Ledger product

Upgrade Considerations• If you used GL Entry Reconciliation feature within Oracle

Financials Common Country Features, you need to run ‘Upgrade Journal Lines for Reconciliation’ to populate historical data

Web-based Spreadsheet Interface

104

Journal and Budget Wizard

Journal Wizard• Previously called Web-ADI Journal Integrator• Create actual, budget, or encumbrance journals from a web-

based spreadsheet interface• Import data from text files to create journalsBudget Wizard• Replaces Budget Wizard in Client-Server ADI• Compare budget amounts and actual amounts in Excel• Create Graphs• Add Budget Notes to add descriptions

Launch both directly from the GL menu!

Journal Copy

106

Journal Copy

• Copy an existing journal batch to create a new journal batch with the same journals and journal lines.

Journal Copy

107

Journal Copy

• You can only copy actual journal batches, not budgets or encumbrances

• The copied batches will have the journal source “Manual”• The journal lines generated by tax, tax codes and other tax

fields are populated with the SOB it was created for• Chart of Accounts Mapping

– Consolidation definition in R11i is upgraded in two parts:— Consolidation Definition: Upgraded with the source and target

ledger assigned— Chart of Accounts Mapping: Upgraded with the same name

and assigned to the Consolidation Definition

Replacement for Disabled Accounts

115


Alternate accounts– Used to replace accounts during Journal Import if accounts are

disabled/end-dated– Alternate accounts will not be used for accounts that have

posting or budgeting disabled– Journal Import writes the original account in the journal line

description if it uses the alternate account– Alternate accounts are only used by Import, not Posting– Alternate accounts are used in preference to importing errors to

suspense account – If no alternate account is available and error to suspense

account is enabled during Journal Import, suspense account will be used

– Reconciliation is based on the setup for the alternate account, not the original account

R12 Changes to Currency

1. Ledger Currency– Acts as a filter for Ledger Sets to select the ledgers that

match the Ledger Currency specified2. Currency Type (Entered, Total, or Statistical)

– “Entered” requires selecting an Entered Currency– STAT currency is now a Currency Type “Statistical”– “Total” means you want to grab total converted balances,

such as foreign entered balances converted to the ledger currency

– “Total” for a Balance level RC means translated balances– FSG also has “Converted” Currency Type

3. Entered Currency– Required if Currency Type “Entered” selected
