Ledger Configuration in Oracle R12 Part -3

In this Article we will look in to the Steps and necessary configurations involved in defining Ledger in Oracle R12

Setting Up Ledger:

Create Legal Entity: If it is required to assign a legal entity, It can be crated and assigned to a Ledger from accounting setup manager.

Assign the Legal Entity to Ledger

Setting Up Ledger Options:,
Before setting up Ledger options Decide up on the values that are required to be entered in the corresponding fields in the Ledger options.

Define Ledger:

While defining the ledger you may use the calendar, Chart of Accounts, Currency and Sub-Ledger Accounting method defined earlier. As part of ledger setup it is mandatory to finalize these values before defining Ledger.








Define Ledger options.
As part of the Ledger options Definition Below mentioned are the Values which needs to be defined which will control how journals and transactions are processed for that ledger hence it is very important to have the values for all the below mentioned Options Decided before setting up the Ledger on the basis of business Functional requirement:

• First Ever Opened Period
• Number of Future Enterable Periods
• Retained Earnings Account
• Sub-ledger accounting method,
• Option to track balances using a secondary segment
• Suspense Account
• Rounding Differences Tracking Account
• Intercompany Balancing option
• Journal Approval
• Journal Entry Tax
• Journal Reversal Criteria Set
• Default Period End Rate Type
• Default Period Average Rate Type
• Cumulative Translation Adjustment Account
• Journal Reconciliation
• Budgetary Control
• Reserve for Encumbrance Account

If there are legal entities that require any one of the above ledger processing options to be different, then define a separate primary ledger for each legal entity and therefore, a new accounting setup
You will not be able to use the Ledger Unless the Ledger options setup Shows as Complete in the ledger setup Screen.
