EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
The purpose of this document is to familiarize the users of
Oracle Applications Release 12 (R12) with the Impact of
Subledger Accounting on the two main functionalities of General
Ledger - Drilldown and Journal Import. The aim is to know the
changes brought in by Release 12 and to understand the
advantages and effects of the same.
INTRODUCTION
With the Release 12 of Oracle Applications, Subledger
Accounting (SLA) has been introduced. This is a Rule-based
accounting engine, toolset & repository supporting Oracle EBusiness Suite modules (also called as subledgers). The main
idea behind this introduction is to have an option of allowing
multiple accounting representations for a single business event,
resolving conflicts between corporate and local fiscal accounting
requirements. Also this introduces a common data model and
user interface (UI) across subledgers, replaces various disparate
11i setups, providing single source of truth for financial and
management analysis. Due to SLA, there are some changes in the
functionalities of General Ledger. There are also certain setups
that need to be done in General Ledger for SLA.
SCOPE
The scope of this Document is to understand the changes
brought by SLA in the two main functionalities of General Ledger
- Drilldown and Journal Import. The document would also
discuss some of the SLA setups that need to be done in General
Ledger. Some table level details are also provided which may
help in customizations or troubleshooting. Please note that the
document is mainly referring to the changes brought by SLA and
hence for the details on the functionalities that are similar to the
prior releases, please refer to Oracle General Ledger User Guide
for Release 12.

OVERVIEW
For understanding the Impact of SLA on General Ledger, we
have divided this document into three parts:
1] Drilldown This will deal with the change in the Drilldown
data, which appears now. Also the setups, which decide what
data, can be viewed and how data can be secured.
2] Journal Import This will deal with the transfer of data from
Subledgers to General Ledger. This will also explain the various
setups that are done for the Ledger which govern the import for
various applications.
3] Technical Reference This will give the technical references,
for journal import and drilldown functionalities, which will help
in understanding the architecture and will also help in
troubleshooting.

Apart from this there are some extra details shown at the top of
the page, which is the header level information for the Subledger
Transaction.
Some of the important fields in header part of the Subledger
Transaction Journal are:
Ledger Name
Journal Entry Status
Balance Type
GL Date

Part II :
Impact of SLA on Journal Import in General
Ledger

For any value of the profile option, Draft and Final options
work in the same way i.e draft mode creates the SLA journals
in Draft mode which can be modified afterwards; Final mode
creates SLA journals and the transaction can not be modified
after this. The SLA journal can then be transferred to General
Ledger. Transfer of the journals created in Final Mode is done
using Transfer to General Ledger concurrent request.
However Final Post works differently for the two values of
the Profile option. If profile option is set to No, then Final
Post creates the SLA journals in Final mode, transfers the
data to GL_INTERFACE, runs Journal Import and triggers the
General Ledger Posting program too.
2. When Accounting is done from Submit request form i.e by
running the request Create Accounting, it gives the
following options:
a. Mode: Draft or Final
b. Transfer to General Ledger
