0o1 all RE' activity m!st have a leal o1ner, so Leal Entity is stam$ed on every transaction.
Receiva%les activity s!ch as transaction 1hether credit memo or de%it memo or invoice m!st
have stam$s on it and recei$t header 1ith the Leal Entity information.
Beca!se there can %e m!lti$le leal entities !sin the same leder, it may %e necessary for the
!ser to assin the LE. Each transaction can only %elon to one Leal Entity, so 1hen m!lti$le
leal entities e(ist, either the system or the !ser 1ill assin the LE.
Transaction
The defa!ltin hierarchy for a transaction comes from the set!$ of the Transaction Ty$e and
Transaction Batch So!rce. Receiva%les 1ill look first to the Transaction ty$e. /f a LE has not
%een assined, then Receiva%les 1ill look to the Batch So!rce. The assinment of the LE to the
Transaction Ty$e and Transaction Batch So!rce is o$tion, so if Receiva%les cannot find a
defa!lt LE, then it is !$ to the !ser to $rovide the LE val!e.
Recei$ts
The LE defa!ltin for recei$ts 1orks differently than transactions.
Let5s look at ho1 defa!ltin occ!rs for the Recei$t Header.
#s 1e kno1 , internal Bank #cco!nts is not o1ned %y leal entities instead of o$eratin !nits,
so LE defa!lts from internal )remittance* %ank acco!nt.
The Recei$t ,ethod in Receiva%les has the %ank acco!nt assinment, 1hich determines 1hat
%ank acco!nt ets assined to the recei$t.
Take a note in version 11 the recei$t ,ethod 1as called the -ayment ,ethod. 0o1 in Release
12 this feat!red 1ith same name =-ayment ,ethod> no1 !sed %y ne1 a$$lication called 2racle
-ayments. Therefore in #R, yo! 1ill no1 see a Recei$t ,ethod, 1hich is $art of recei$t set!$C
and -ayment ,ethod, 1hich is $art of -ayments set!$. 2nce the %ank acco!nt is assined to a
recei$t header, this information can %e !sed to find the a$$ro$riate LE. Beca!se the LE comes
from only one so!rce, the %ank acco!nt, there is no s$ecial set!$ to %e $erformed in
Receiva%les. .efa!ltin of the sinle LE al1ays occ!rs, so the !ser does not need to assin or
!$date LE on recei$ts.
Ho1 LE affects recei$ts and there a$$lications and ref!nds
We seen the recei$ts inherit the LE from the %ank acco!nt 1eather its is man!al, #!tomatic,
Lock%o( and -ost D!ick 'ash -rorams. There is no 1ay that !ser can chane the val!e.

/nvoices and -ayments indicate the o$eratin !nit and the leal entity o1ner of the
transaction. The leal entity can %e !sed as selection criteria 1hen $re$arin $ay r!ns.
-ro4ects
#s 1e kno1 in 11i in EBS maintains the defa!lt leal conte(t on the 2$eratin 7nit. There is
not m!ch im$act in -ro4ects model. Earlier in 11i 1e !sed to consider the Leal Entity of the
2$eratin 7nit as the Leal Entity of the -ro4ects Transactions. 0o1 the Leal Entity attached
at the .efa!lt Leal 'onte(t of the 2$eratin 7nit is the Leal Entity of the -ro4ects
Transactions.
So the Leal Entity of the -ro4ects e($endit!re transactions 1ill %e the Leal Entity attached at
the .efa!lt Leal 'onte(t of the E($endit!re 2$eratin 7nit and the Leal Entity of the -ro4ect
1ill %e the Leal Entity attached at the .efa!lt Leal 'onte(t of the -ro4ect o1nin o$eratin

LE and T'#
Leal Entity is still de$endent on T'#. # $arty )s!$$lier, c!stomer, %ank, st!dent etc* is an
entity that can enter into %!siness relationshi$s. #s 1e kno1 the 2racle T'#5s model s!$$orts
fo!r ty$es of $arties" orani&ation, $erson, ro!$, and $arty relationshi$. 7nder the T'#
model, -arties )incl!din Leal Entities* e(ist 4!st once in o!r E3%!siness S!ite system for sinle

-arty /nformation, etc.
Where to do the set!$
There sho!ld %e no conf!sion.
,ay %e , some may think if this is 4!st e(tension of <RE6LE from old version , then Why this
re9!ired to do set !$ from %oth #S, and HR in R12B
/n R12 ,it is se$arate the leal entity from the <RE 1hich is a HR orani&ation. We did not link
the 2 entities toether as they serve 2 different $!r$oses altoether.
The HR model does not look at the ne1 Leal Entity model. /t contin!es to !se the <RE6LE as a
leal entity. So the HR re9!irement can %e achieved !sin the HR orani&ation of ty$e <RE6LE.
Therefore, Leal Entities do have to %e set !$ in %oth #S, and HR in R12.

#!tomatic .e$reciation Roll%ack
.e$reciation is rolled %ack a!tomatically %y the system 1hen any transaction is $erformed on
an asset if the follo1in conditions are met"
.e$reciation has %een $rocessed in that $eriod
The $eriod is not closed
That mean, it is no loner re9!ired to r!n de$reciation roll%ack $roram man!ally as 1e have
seen in release 11i.
.e$reciation roll%ack is e(ec!ted only on select assets as re9!ired and not on the entire #sset
Book this enhances $erformance of the $roram.
Since release 11i, !sers have %een a%le to r!n de$reciation for an asset %ook 1itho!t closin
the $eriod. /f additional ad4!stments are re9!ired in the c!rrent $eriod, then the !ser s!%mits
a $rocess to roll %ack de$reciation for the entire %ook, $erforms the necessary ad4!stment)s*
and then res!%mits the de$reciation $roram. /n Release 12 the intermediate man!al ste$ of
rollin %ack de$reciation for the entire %ook in order to $rocess f!rther ad4!stments on
selected assets is no loner necessary. #s %efore !sers may s!%mit de$reciation for the entire
%ook $rior to closin the $eriod. /f it %ecomes necessary to $rocess financial ad4!stments on
one or more assets, the !ser may $roceed 1ith the transaction normally via the asset
1ork%ench or mass transactions.
2racle #ssets a!tomatically rolls %ack the de$reciation on 4!st the selected assets )instead of
the 1hole %ook* and allo1s the transaction)s* to %e $rocessed normally. The asset)s* for 1hich
de$reciation 1as rolled %ack is a!tomatically $icked !$ d!rin the ne(t de$reciation r!n or at
the time that the de$reciation $eriod is finally closed.
