General Ledger

1. What is a General ledger?Ans:- A company's accounting records. This formal ledger contains all the financial accounts and statements of a business.

2. What are cycles of GL, AP, and AR? GL Accounting cycle can be further elaborated like this…1. Open Period.2. Create Functional and foreign journal entries.(including the journal import from legacy systems and subledgers).3. Reverse journal entries.4. Post the journals.5. Review and correct the balances.6. Revalue foreign currency balances.7. Translate foreign currency balances.8. Consolidate set of books.9. Run accounting reports.10. Close the accounting periods.GL cycle ——– Direct GL JE / Transfer subledger data to GL –> Post

3. What is the Program Name for AP To GL ?Ans:-Payables Transfer to GL

4. What is the Program Name for AR To GL?To transfer the Receivables accounting information to general ledger, run “General Ledger Transfer Program”.Navigation: Receivables> View RequestsParameters:Give in the Start date and Post through date to specify the date range of the transactions to be transferred.Specify the GL Posted Date, defaults to SYSDATE. Post in summary: This controls how Receivables creates journal entries for your transactions in the interface table. If you select ‘No’, then the General Ledger Interface program creates at least one journal entry in the interface table for each transaction in your posting submission. If you select ‘Yes’, then the program creates one journal entry for each general ledger account. If the Parameter Run Journal Import is set to ‘Yes’, the journal import program is kicked off automatically which transfers journal entries from the interface table to General Ledger, otherwise follow the topic Journal Import to import the journals to General Ledger manually.

FLEXFIELDS

48.What is a Flex Field? What are Key and Descriptive Flexfields?Ans:-A flex field is a field made up of sub–fields, or segments. Two Types A. Key Flex fields B.Descriptive Flex fields.A. Key Flex fieldsKey Flex fields are an intelligent key code made up of sections, where one or more parts may have meaning. An intelligent key code uniquely identifies an object such as on account, an asset, a part or a job. Intelligent keys are useful in applications because they are usually easier for a user to remember and use than a unique number.

B Descriptive Flex fields Descriptive flex fields provide customizable” expansion space” on forms. We can use descriptive flex fields to track additional information, important and unique to the business that would not otherwise be captured by the form. A descriptive flex field appears on a form as a single–character, unnamed field enclosed in brackets. Each field or segment in a descriptive flex field has a prompt, just like ordinary fields.

49. What is Flexfield? And difference between DFF and KFF? Ans:- Used to capture the additional business information.

DFF KFF

Additional Unique Info, Mandatory

Captured in attribute prefixed columns Segment prefixed

Not reported on standard reports Is reported on standard reports




General Ledger

To provide expansion space on your form With the help of []. [] Represents descriptive Flex field.

FLEX FILED : DESCRIPTIVE : REGIGSTER

Used for entering and displaying key informationFor example Oracle General uses a key Flex field called Accounting Flex field to uniquely identifies a general account.

FLEX FILED : KEY : REGIGSTER

50. Oracle Applications KEY FLEX FIELDSAns:- 1) GL :- ACCOUNTING

2) AR :- SALES TAX LOCATION, TERRITORY,

3) AP: - BANK DETAILS, COST ALLOCATION, PEOPLE GROUP

2) AR :- credit history, information

3) PA :- bank branch, payment terms, site address,

52. What is the key flex field name in GL?Ans:-Accounting Key flex field

53. What is segment? What are the maximum segments that can be there for GL?Ans:-A segment is a single sub–field within a flex field. A segment is represented in database as a single table column.Maximum 30 Segments

54. How many Flex field Structures can you create for GL?Ans:-In Oracle General Ledger, we can have n no of flex field’s structures.

55. What is a value Set? What are the format types and validation types available in value set? Ans:-Value set

A group of values and related attributes assigned to an account segment or to a descriptive flex field segment. Values in each value set have the same maximum length, validation type, alphanumeric option, and so on.

Format types:Character Standard Date Date Standard Date timeDate time Time


General Ledger

Validation types:Dependent SpecialIndependent TableNone Translatable IndependentPair Translatable Dependent

56.What are dependant and independent value sets? Ans:-INDEPENDENT:An independent valueset provides a pre defined list of values for a segment.

DEPENDENT: A dependent value set is similar to independent value set , or dependent value set depends on any independent or dependent value set.

57. What are Special and pair value sets?Ans:-SPECIAL: The data input is checked against a flex-field.PAIR: The data input is checked against two flex-field specified range of values.

58.Which of the following validation type is supported for Accounting Flexfield ?Ans:-Independent, Dependent, Table

59.In which of the following table columns the Accounting Flexfield segments are storedAns:-Segment1 to Segment30

60.What is the table name to import journals into Oracle General Ledger from external systemsAns:-GL_INTERFACE

61.What is the table name to import Budget amounts into Oracle General Ledger from external systemsAns:-GL_BUDGET_INTERFACE

62.What are flex field Qualifiers and Segment Qualifiers?Ans:-Flex field QualifiersA flex field qualifier identifies a particular segment of a key flex field. It is to identify a particular segment for the purpose like security or computations. A flex field qualifier acts as an “identification tag” for a segment.Segment QualifiersA segment qualifier identifies a particular type of value in a single segment of a key flex field. A segment qualifier acts as an “identification tag” for a value. In the Accounting Flex field, segment qualifiers can identify the account type for a natural account segment value, and determine whether detail posting or budgeting are allowed for a particular value.


General Ledger

63.What are the flex field Qualifiers and Segment Qualifiers available in GL?Ans:-Flex field QualifiersBalancing Segment : CompanyNatural Account Segment : AccountCost Center SegmentInter Company Segment

Segment Qualifiers:For Company : Allow Posting & Allow Budgeting

For Account : Allow Posting, Allow Budgeting, Account type, Control Account & Reconciliation Flag

In Account type: Asset, Expenses, Liability, Ownership/Stockholders Equity & Revenue

64.What do you mean by Dynamic Inserts?Ans:-A feature specific to key flex fields that allows entering and defining new combinations of segment values directly into a flex field pop-up window. The new combination must satisfy any cross-validation rules, before your flex field accepts the new combination.

65.What is a Roll up group?Ans:-Rollup group is to identify a group of parent values for reporting or other application purposes. It is used to create summary accounts for reporting purposes.

66.What are Security Rules and Cross Validation Rules? How it can be set?Ans:-Security RulesSecurity Rule to limit the access of different segment values for different responsibilities

To assign security rules:1. Navigate to Security Rules window & Security rules2. Assign it to application and responsibility that uniquely identifies the responsibility to which we want to assign security rules.

Cross Validation Rule A cross–validation rule defines whether a value of a particular segment can be combined with specific values of other segments. Cross–validation (also known as cross–segment validation) controls the combinations of values that we can create when we enter values for key flex fields .It is assigned to Chart of account

67.Which of the following is not possible in Mass Allocation WorkbenchAns:-Skeleton Allocations


General Ledger

68.How do you define Parent-Child Relationship for segment values?Ans:-In segment value enable the parent value, define the child range and enter the low high ranges of child value

69.Which form can be used to enter the valid account code combinations?Ans:-You can enter the valid account code combinations through the ‘GL Accounts Form’ (N>Setup>Accounts>Combinations).

70.What is Transaction calendar?Ans:-This is a calendar which determines which days in a week are business days and specifies other non-business days, such as holidays. Where it is used:It must be assigned for set of books for which average balancing is enabled to control transaction posting.

71.What are Conversion types?Ans:-A process that converts foreign currency transactions in to functional currency. Types: Corporate Reporting Spot User Purposes:For Year end Reporting purposes, the foreign currency balances need to be converted into The functional currency balances.

72.In Value set, how will you restrict wrong entry of values and also ensure security rules?Ans:-Using format validation we can specify the format type, Maximum size, Maximum & Minimum value, Precision and so on to restrict the wrong entry of values By enabling security type as Hierarchical security or Non-Hierarchical security we can create security rule to ensure security

73.Can a flexfield qualifier be changed after it has been created?Ans:-No. Once a segment qualifier has been designated for a specific segment and has been saved, it will permanently have the attributes with that qualifier.For example, you accidentally designate the cost center segment as the natural account segment. Even though you do not compile this, the system saves the changes. And once it has been saved, it will have all the attributes designated for the natural account qualifier, even after it has been changed back, resaved with the correct qualifier and compiled. This is the inherent functionality of the software.Unfortunately, there is no real easy solution for this issue. The only option is to create a new chart of accounts and attach a new set of books.


General Ledger

74.Does the Accounting Flexfield needs one segment flagged with the Intercompany qualifier?Ans:-The intercompany segment is an optional Intercompany feature for the Intercompany Segment Balancing.It is not required in order to do intercompany balancing.It is just another way to do the intercompany balancing, instead of using different natural accounts to track intercompany balances, you can use the intercompany segment in the Chart of Accounts to record the same detail.It is more just a matter of preference of how you want to track the intercompany transactions. 75.Can different Sets of Books share the same Value Set?Ans:-If there is a set of books that uses a particular value set and a new book is created, it can use the existing value set.When the Account Flexfield Structure is created, simply choose the existing value set from the List of Values.However,if you use an existing value set, the new structure will also inherit the existing values in the value set. It does not create an empty value set to be populated. 76.Can the Accounting Flexfield Segment name be changed?Ans:-Nothing about a flexfield structure should be changed since this could seriously impact your existing data and cause inconsistenciesThe LOV (list of values) prompt and window prompt that appear on the segment form can be changed so the users can see the segment with a different name.1. Navigate to Setup: Financial: Flexfield: key: segments2. Query all3. Unfreeze your flexfield4. Open the segment summary screen5. Choose the segment you wish to change6. Change the LOV and window Prompts and insert the new name.7. Save your work8. Freeze the Flexfield which should launch a concurrent request.9. Check the log and make sure the compile worked OK. 77.How to add a new value to an existing segment?Ans:-On the Segment Values form, insert a new row with your new value.Make sure the segment qualifiers are set correctly (Allow Posting and Budgeting).If this is the natural account segment, specify the Account Type also.


General Ledger

78.How to delete a segment value? Ans:-There is no supported way to delete a segment value. Segment values can only be disabled not deleted. 79.How to enable an existing Future-Use accounting flexfield segment?Ans:- Do the following, on the Key Flexfield Segments form:

1. Unfreeze the accounting flexfield 2. Change the Window Prompt name to a valid name (do NOT change the segment

name) 3. Update the Default Type and Default Value (if necessary) 4. Freeze the accounting flexfield and recompile

80.How to re-enable an account value?Ans:- In order to re-enable an account value or remove an end date, do the following:

1. Unfreeze the accounting flexfield structure 2. Re-enable the account value or remove the end date of the segment value. 3. Re-freeze the accounting flexfield structure and recompile. 4. Log out of the applications and log back in.

81.Is there a way to load values for a specific segment outside of the form? Ans:-iSetup is the Oracle product that provides supported APIs to load values into Oracle Applications flexfields.To load code combinations API may be used. Uploading zero amount journals will create new code combinations.In this case Dynamic Insertion should be enabled and all account segment values need to exist before the new account code combinations will be dynamically created.

82.What is the difference between Hierarchical and Non-hierarchical Security Type? Ans:-Hierarchical Security: This feature combines Flex Value Security and Flex Value Hierarchy.The end result is a flex value is secured if one of its parents is secured, i.e. if a parent value is excluded then all the children are also excluded. With non-hierarchical security, the child values do not inherit the parent security.

83.Which tables store segment values and descriptions? Ans:-FND_FLEX_VALUES_TL , FND_FLEX_VALUES.
