Core Sets of Books for Vision Enterprises

Vision Enterprises consists of eight sets of books (SoB’s) each with a different purpose and
set of modules or products implemented. Each set of books has been defined from a financial
perspective to include the broadest product suite possible with as much identical data within
each set of books as possible to prevent users from needing to learn different data for
different SoB’s. The entire environment has been planned to highlight as many Oracle
Applications features as possible. The sets of books are:

Vision Corporation
Vision Operations
Vision Distribution
Vision Services
Vision ADB
Vision ADB Holdings
Vision Process Manufacturing
Vision Project Manufacturing
Vision Communications

Vision Operations (USA)

Description:
Vision Operations will be used for the majority of standard financial and manufacturing
demonstrations. Vision Operations data has been designed to have broad content.
Comprehensive data has been entered into the Vision Operations subledgers including,
Oracle Receivables (via Oracle [1]Order Entry[O1] ), Oracle Payables (via Oracle
Purchasing) and Oracle Assets. All transactions have been posted through to the General
Ledger. This is the only set of books associated with Oracle Property Manager. All accounts
payable and accounts receivable transactions exported from Oracle Property Manager will
flow into the Vision Operations subledgers.
Account Structure: The Account Structure is made up of five, independently validated
segments. The two character ‘Company’ segment designed to be the balancing segment, the
three segment ‘Department’ segment designed to be the cost center segment, the four
character ‘Account’ segment designed to be the natural account segment, the four character
‘Sub-account’ segment and a three character ‘Product’ segment.
Calendar: The ‘Accounting’ calendar is a monthly calendar with twelve calendar months and
a single, overlapping adjusting period of one day on the 31 December. The calendar begins in
Dec-95.
Currency: The currency is USD

Vision Corporation (UK)

Description: Vision Corporation should be used for consolidation demonstrations. This SoB
has been specifically designed to use a different chart of accounts structure, calendar and
functional currency to show the ability to consolidate disparate business entities. Vision
Corporation data has been created by consolidating the financial results from Vision
Corporation, Vision Distribution and Vision Services. Vision Corporation includes General
Ledger only and has no other financials or manufacturing modules implemented.
Account Structure: The Account Structure is made up of four, independently validated
segments. The two character ‘Company’ segment designed to be the balancing segment, the
three character ‘Department’ segment designed to be the cost center segment, the four
character ‘Account’ segment (a shared value set with Vision Operations) designed to be the
natural account segment, and the two character ‘Intercompany’ segment designed to be the
intercompany segment value. NOTE: The intercompany segment uses the same value set as
the company segment.
Calendar: The ‘Fiscal’ calendar is a fiscal calendar of twelve months. The calendar begins 01
April and ends 31 March. Users must be careful when working with the calendar of Vision
Corporation. The year begins on the 1st of April of each year. The financial year suffix added
to periods is the year in which the last period falls. This means that the periods of April, May,
June, July, August, September, October, November and December have a year suffix which
is different than the calendar year the month falls in. This can be especially confusing to users
unfamiliar with a fiscal calendar. For example, calendar month September 1997 is equal to
the fiscal calendar September 1998.
Currency: The functional currency is GBP, Pounds Sterling.

Operations with some minor alterations in the ‘Account’ values to better support a project
based ledger. To preserve the integrity of the system and protect the auto-accounting rules
these value sets are not shared but are copied from Vision Operations.

for the General Ledger as well as fifty two weekly periods for use with Oracle Projects. The
