General Ledger

01. How many types of Users in Oracle?


2 Types of users in Oracle Fusion
1. User
2. Employee Use

02. What are the Mandatory Roles to Implement?


1. Application Implementation consultant
(It will provide access to setup and maintenance, configure offerings, options and features)
2. IT Security Manager
(Provide implementation consultant role, access to all enterprise structures.)
3. Employee
(Employee can choose person for work)

03. What is the Significance of the FSM?


The Functional Setup Manager (FSM) in Oracle Fusion is significant due to several reasons:
Centralized Setup: It offers a centralized platform for managing and configuring various aspects of Oracle Fusion
applications. This centralization simplifies the setup process and ensures consistency across different modules and
components.
Standardization: FSM promotes standardization of setup processes and configurations, reducing the complexity of
implementation and maintenance. It provides predefined setup tasks and templates based on industry best practices
and Oracle's recommendations.
Flexibility: Despite offering standard setups, FSM also allows for flexibility to tailor configurations to meet specific
business requirements. Users can customize setups and configurations to align with unique organizational needs
while still leveraging the guidance provided by the system.
Efficiency: By streamlining setup tasks and automating repetitive processes, FSM enhances the efficiency of implementation
projects. It helps reduce the time and effort required for setup, testing, and deployment, leading to faster time-to-
value for Oracle Fusion applications.
Lifecycle Management: FSM facilitates lifecycle management by providing tools for tracking setup changes, managing
configuration versions, and promoting setups across different environments. This ensures consistency and integrity
throughout the application lifecycle, from development to production environments.

04. How many types of Roles in Oracle?


Oracle Fusion Applications security provides four types of roles: abstract, job, duty, and data.
The reference implementation contains predefined abstract, job, and duty roles in hierarchies that streamline provisioning
access to users.
Abstract roles: An abstract role is a type of enterprise role that is not specific to a particular job.. The reference
implementation contains predefined abstract roles, such as Employee or Contingent Worker.
Abstract roles inherit duty roles as a means of accessing application functions and data that users require to
perform the tasks associated with the duties of work not specific to a particular job.
Job roles: Job roles are a type of enterprise role, called an external role in OIM and APM. The reference implementation
contains predefined job roles.
Duty roles: Duty roles are a type of application role. The reference implementation contains predefined duty roles. For
example, the Accounts Payable Manager job role inherits the Approving Payables Invoices Duty role. For example,
the Human Resource Specialist job role inherits the Worker Administration Duty role.
Data roles: Data roles are a type of enterprise role, called an external role in OIM and APM. The reference implementation
does not contain predefined data roles. Data roles are specific to an enterprise. Data role templates in the
reference implementation provide predefined structures for defining data roles.

07. How many types of Balancing segment Labels in Fusion?


1. Primary Balancing Segment
Main balancing segment typically used to represent the company dimension of the organization. The segment set
with this label can't be set with another label.
2. Second Balancing Segment
Used to balance transactions, as needed, by an additional dimension beyond the primary balancing segment.
3. Third Balancing Segment:
Used to balance transactions, as needed, by an additional dimension beyond the primary and second balancing
segments.

08. How many segment labels in Oracle?


1. Primary Balancing Segment
2. Cost Centre Segment
Smallest segment of an organization for which you collect and report costs. You are required to create this
segment if you're implementing Oracle Fusion Assets.
3. Natural Account Segment
Classification of transactions and balances according to distinct account types: asset, liability, equity, revenue,
and expense accounts. The segment set with this label can't be set with another label.
The following optional segment labels are available, and you are implementing all of them:
4. Second Balancing Segment
Used to balance transactions, as needed, by an additional dimension beyond the primary balancing segment.
5. Third Balancing Segment
Used to balance transactions, as needed, by an additional dimension beyond the primary and second balancing
segments.
6. Intercompany Segment
Used to track intercompany due to and due from balances by identifying the specific trading company. The
intercompany qualified segment cannot be set with any of the three balancing segment qualifiers. The values in this
segment's value set must be the same as the primary balancing segment.

09. How many Types of Flex Fields in Oracle?


It is a field that is made up of segments. There are 2 types of flex fields
1. Key flex field:
It is a mandatory flex field that is used to capture key information of an organization.
GL: Accounting flex field.
2. Descriptive flex field:
It is an optional flex field that is used to capture the additional information of the organization. Can use descriptive
flex fields to track additional information, important and unique to your business, which would not otherwise be
captured by the form?
3. Extensible FF:
- Extra information
- Information
- Single row/Multiple row
- Saved in another table with reference

Basic Flex fields Concepts:


Segment: A segment is a single sub-field within a flex field. You define the appearance and meaning of individual segments
when customizing a flex field. A segment is represented in your database as a single table column.
Value:
Validation:
Value set:
Structure: A flex field structure is a specific configuration of segments. If you add or remove segments, or rearrange the
order of segments in a flex field, you get a different structure.
You can define multiple segment structures for the same flex field (if that flex field has been built to support more
than one structure). Your flex field can display different prompts and fields for different end users based on a data
condition in your form or application data. Both key and descriptive flex fields may allow more than one structure.

10. How many KFF's in GL?


We have 3 KFF in GL module those are
1. Accounting key flexfeild: By using accounting key flex filed we can design our organization structure
2. Reporting attribute key flex field: this key flexile is used to reporting purpose
3. GL ledger name key flex field: This is mirror of the Accounting Key flex field. Whatever we entered in accounting key flex
field it will copy to GL ledger flex field and it gives one more segment that will call as SEGMENT it is useful when
we are doing FSG and MASS ALLOCATION
11. What is the KFF/Significance?
A key flex field is an intelligent key consisting of segments with meanings, uniquely identifying objects like accounts, assets,
parts, or jobs. It provides a list of possible code combinations, each identified by a structure code, indicating database
column organization for storing code combinations.
Code combination maintenance page allows application implementers and administrators to manage key flex field code
combinations, including new and updated ones.
Cross validation rules use the code combination filter infrastructure to apply filters to new code combinations. Enabling key
flex field for cross validation requires creating a maintenance user interface.

12. How many Segments are Mandatory to Create COA?


Mandatory segments are 2:
1. Balancing Segment
2. Natural Account segment
* Cost canter becomes mandatory if you use FA module. Many FA reports refers this flex field qualifier.

22. How many types of calendars in Oracle GL?
Manage Accounting Calendars
1. Accounting Calendar: Accounting calendar are used to determine accounting periods which are used to Secure &
maintain journals & balances.
2. Transaction Calendar: It is used to determine the list of holidays & also to calculate average balances.

23. What is the adjustment period?


Adjustments are used for audit purposes that are to balance the credits & debits- We can keep the adjustment period at any
place in our accounting calendar. The only thing is that the date cannot be given for the period which has already
passed. So if a company wants to post the adjustments on the day of audit then add the adjustment period in
starting
Adjusting Periods can overlap with date range of an accounting period
Note: 1. If we wish to migrate data from a legacy system then we have to define periods for that duration as well.
2. Once the calendar is assigned to ledger then we cannot modify it (we can add periods but cannot modify the existing
structure)

24. How many types of Adjustment periods in Oracle Fusion GL?


The periods when defined monthly, have to be closed after each month, so that users cannot fudge the transactions going
backwards. This is required for audit & control purposes. But sometimes, either mistakes can be made, or
reconciliation errors found after the periods have been closed. To manage this situation, the implementers can
define the adjustment periods. These adjusting periods can either be Quarterly or annually, which means you
can make adjustments at the end of every Quarter or at the end of every year.
In Fusion GL, you also have another option to define how many adjusting periods that you need. In this case, implementer
have to themselves go and define those adjusting periods themselves after deciding the number of adjusting periods
they need. If you select Quarterly or annually adjusting periods, then Fusion GL will auto generate these Adjusting
periods in the calendar for you.

25. What are the 4 C'S in Oracle GL?


It represents an accounting representation for one or more legal entities or for a business need such as consolidation or
management reporting.
1. Chart of accounts
2. Functional Currency
3. Accounting Calendar
4. Accounting Convention
Convention: Importing the journals from other modules (AP, AR, FA, CM) in to GL
*Conventional method means Sub ledger Accounting method. Importing the journals from other Modules (AP, AR, FA, and CM) in
to General Ledger (GL). For that purpose we are using the 4th'C (Sub ledger accounting method)

46. How many ways we can open the Period in GL?
Open and close accounting periods to control journal entry and journal posting, as well as compute period- and year-end
actual and budget account balances for reporting.
Accounting periods can have one of the following statuses:
Open: Journal entry and posting allowed.
Closed: Journal entry and posting not allowed until accounting period is reopened. Reporting and inquiry allowed.
Permanently Closed: Journal entry and posting not allowed. You cannot change this period status. Reporting and inquiry
allowed.
Never Opened: Journal entry and posting are not allowed. General Ledger assigns this status to any period preceding the
first period ever opened in your calendar, or to any period that has been defined, but is not yet future-enterable. You
cannot change this period status.
Future-Entry: Journal entry is allowed, but posting is not. Your period is not yet open, but falls within the range of future-
enterable periods you designated in the Set of Books window. You cannot change this period status without
using the concurrent process to open the period.
Additional Information: If you use Multiple Reporting Currencies, you must open/close accounting periods in your primary
set of books and in each of your reporting sets of books.

Use descriptive flex fields to tailor General Ledger to fit your unique information needs. For example, you may want to
collect additional information on budget organizations, such as the manager and the size of the organization. You
can even define context-sensitive flex fields that prompt you for additional information based on your previous
entries. For example, if you classify the budget organization as a large organization, your descriptive flex field could
ask for the name and telephone number of the controller of the organization.
DFF is a mechanism that lets us create new fields in screens that are delivered by Oracle.

Oracle Fusion General Ledger has four predefined daily conversion rate types:
Spot: An exchange rate based on a specific date
Corporate: An exchange rate that standardizes rates for a company
User: An exchange rate specified when entering a foreign currency journal entry
Fixed: An exchange rate set between two currencies that remains constant

100. How do you upload Exchange rates in GL?


Daily currency conversion rates can be maintained between any two currencies.
The three different methods of loading currency rates are:
1. Manual load using the Create Daily Rates spreadsheet.
2. Manual load using the Import and Calculate Daily Rates file-based data import.
3. Automatic load using web services.

101. What is the Consolidation in GL?


You can use General Ledger's consolidation features to combine the financial results of multiple companies, even if their
sets of books use different currencies, accounting calendars, and charts of accounts. General Ledger supports
consolidating average balances using either the transactions or balances consolidation methods.
Standard and average balances can be consolidated at the same or different levels of detail. For example, you might want to
consolidate standard balances at the detail level, but average balances at a summarized level.
If you consolidate standard and average balances at the same level of detail, you can apply the same consolidation mapping
rules to both. If you consolidate at different levels of detail, you must define appropriate consolidation mapping
rules for each.

104. Tell me some GL Import Issues?


105. Tell me some GL Issues which you fixed?
106. What is the Journal Import Process?
Journal Import creates journal entries from accounting data you import from Oracle and non-Oracle feeder systems. You
can review, change and post imported journal entries the same as any other journal entry. Journal Import supports
multiple charts of accounts, as well as foreign currency, intercompany, statistical, budget, and encumbrance
journals.

Use the Journal Import file-based data import to upload journal entry data from external sources into Oracle General
Ledger. You can download a spreadsheet template to use to prepare your journal entry data.

To load the data into the interface table:

the overall time and effort for your implementation by avoiding intense data entry.

110. Can we create Two Ledgers through Rapid Implementation?


111. Can I create Secondary ledger through Rapid Implementation?

112. Tell me Journal Reversal Types in GL?


You can reverse journals manually by selecting a reversal action in the user interface, or you can reverse journals
automatically by running a process.
Reversal Method: Method for reversing amounts in the reversal journal. Select from Change Sign or Switch Debit or
Credit. The default setting is Switch Debit or Credit. The Change Sign setting means that the reversal puts the
original journal amount in the same Debit or Credit column, but with the opposite (negative or positive) sign. The
Switch Debit or Credit: setting means that the amount is moved to the other column. Required for reversal.
Switch Dr/Cr: General Ledger creates your reversing journal by switching the debit and credit amounts of the original
journal entry. This method is often used when reversing accruals.
Change Sign: General Ledger creates your reversing journal by changing the sign of your original journal amounts from
positive to negative. This reversal method is often used when reversing journals to correct data entry mistakes
Reversal Status: View-only state of the journal reversal. For example, not reversed or reversed.

113. What is the difference between FBDI and OTBI process?


FBDI (File-Based Data Import):
- FBDI is a method used to import large volumes of data into Oracle Cloud applications from external sources.
- It involves preparing data in predefined spreadsheet templates provided by Oracle, which are then uploaded to the
application using secure protocols.
- FBDI is typically used for initial data migration, mass data uploads, or periodic data updates where manual data entry or
other methods are not practical due to the volume of data.

OTBI (Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence):


-OTBI, on the other hand, is a reporting and analytics tool provided by Oracle Cloud applications.
-It allows users to create ad-hoc reports, dashboards, and analyses based on transactional data stored within Oracle Cloud
applications.
- OTBI provides users with real-time insights into business operations, allowing them to make data-driven decisions and
monitor key performance indicators (KPIs).
- Unlike FBDI, which focuses on data import, OTBI is used for data analysis and reporting purposes.
114. Tell me GL Journal Approval Process? BPM Approval Process?
GL Journal Approval Process:
- The GL Journal Approval Process typically involves the submission, review, and approval of journal entries that
affect the general ledger accounts.
- Involves the submission, review, and approval of journal entries affecting the general ledger accounts.
- Approval rules and hierarchies are predefined to ensure accuracy, compliance with policies, and adherence to
internal controls before entries are posted to the general ledger.
BPM Approval Process:
- BPM Approval Process refers to a broader concept of managing and automating approval workflows across
different business processes within an organization.
- Manages and automates approval workflows across various business processes within an organization.
- Encompasses approval workflows for a wide range of activities such as purchase requisitions, expense reports,
employee onboarding, contract approvals, etc., with features like process modeling, automation,
integration, and analytics.
115. How many types of Journal Approvals in Fusion?
The GL Journal Approval Process obtains the necessary management approvals for manual journal batches. The process
validates the journal batch, determines if approval is required, submits the batch to approvers (if required), then
notifies appropriate individuals of the approval results.
Journal Entry Approval: This type of approval applies to regular journal entries made in the General Ledger.
Intercompany Journal Approval: Intercompany journals involve transactions between entities within the same organization
or across different legal entities.
Mass Allocation Journal Approval: Mass allocation journals are used to distribute amounts from one set of accounts to
another based on predefined allocation rules.

The process has a result type of GL Journal Approval Process Result that gives one of four results:
Approval Not Required: The journal batch does not need approval.
Approved: The journal batch was approved by all necessary approvers. In some cases, this may be the preparer.
Rejected: The journal batch was rejected by an approver.
Validation Failed: The journal batch failed the validation process and was never submitted to the approver.

116. How to restrict Post Button at Journal Page?


Define Security Roles: Assign appropriate roles to users accessing the Journal page.
Configure Transaction Controls: Set up validation rules to ensure journal entries meet criteria before posting.
Implement Approval Workflows: Require approvals from designated individuals or groups before posting.
Customize Page Layouts: Hide or disable the Post button based on specific criteria or conditions.
Utilize Data Security Policies: Restrict access to journals or journal lines based on user roles and responsibilities.

117. How to set user wise journal category default while creating Journals?
"Manage Journal Categories", Click on the "+" button to add a new category. Do note that you cannot delete the Source
and Category anymore once it was been created.
After you've saved the newly-created Source and Category, you may now use these during Journal Batch creation. The
Custom source can be used when importing Journals from third-party applications and the custom Category can
be used even on Manual Journal creation.

118. How do you know who created Journals in GL?


Search for the Journal Entry: Use the search functionality within the Journals section to find the specific journal entry for
which you want to identify the creator.
Open the Journal Entry: Once you've located the journal entry you're interested in, open it to view its details. There should
be an option to view the full details or open the journal entry form.
Review the Journal Entry Details: Look for fields or metadata associated with the journal entry that indicate the user who
created it. This information is typically recorded as part of the journal entry details or audit trail.
Check Audit Trail Information: In many ERP systems, including Oracle Fusion, there's often an audit trail maintained for
transactional activities like journal entries. This audit trail may include information such as the user who created
the journal entry, the date and time it was created, and any subsequent modifications made to it.
Identify the Creator: Review the audit trail or specific fields within the journal entry details to identify the user who created
the journal entry. The user's name or user ID should be recorded alongside the journal entry.

119. What is the journal category in GL?


Manage Journal Categories
Journal categories help you differentiate journal entries by purpose or type, such as accrual, payments or receipts. When
you enter journals, you specify a category.
You can define intercompany and suspense accounts for specific categories. You can also use document sequences to
sequentially number journal entries by category. Journal categories appear in standard reports, such as the
General Journals report.

General Ledger provides the following predefined journal categories:


Name Description
Accrual Month End Accrual Entry
Adjustment Adjusting Journal Entry
Allocation Allocation
Budget Budget

120. What is the Journal Source in GL?


Journal sources identify the origin of your journal entries. General Ledger supplies a number of predefined journal sources.
In addition, you should define at least one journal source for each of your own, non-Oracle feeder systems to help you
track imported journal entries.
For each journal source, you can specify whether to import detail reference information for summary journals you import
from your feeder systems. You can also choose to freeze the journal source, preventing users from making changes
to any journals that are posted to General Ledger from that source.
121. What is the auto post Criteria Set?
You can automatically post journal batches that meet specific criteria you've defined in an Auto Post criteria set. You can
define multiple criteria sets that include a range of journal effective dates and multiple Auto Post priorities. Auto
Post priorities include combinations of journal source, journal category, balance type, and period.
Once you define an Auto Post criteria set, run the Auto Post program to select and post any journal batches that meet the
criteria defined by the criteria set. You can also schedule the Auto Post program to run at specific times and
submission intervals. You can submit the Auto Post program or schedule Auto Post runs directly from the
Auto Post Criteria Sets window. Alternatively, you can use the Submit Request window.

122. What is the Reverse Criteria Set?


When you create a journal entry you want to automatically reverse, specify a journal category that has assigned reversal
criteria. Your journal will be reversed based on the method, period and date criteria you defined for that journal
category.

123. Can I post huge data singe go?
