Oracle R12 SLA Supporting References


Supporting References:
This is in continuation of the SLA setup I mentioned in my previous post.
Oracle R12 SLA setup with simple example
Supporting references can be defined to store additional information on the subledger journal header or line level. The additional information could be transaction information like invoice type or line type, or accounting information or any supplier information etc. Supporting references can then be used for finding the subledger balance for the defined reference for a given period.

We shall see the process of creating a supporting reference and assigning it to journal line definition, creating an invoice and checking the supporting reference in the subledger journal entries after accounting. The below mentioned supporting reference is for AP Invoice Distribution Type.

Define Supporting Reference:
Subledger Accounting Setup --> Accounting Methods Builder --> Journal Entry Setup --> Supporting References
Click on Create.
Give the code as XX_DISTTYPE_SR, name as XX Dist Type SR, description as ‘Supp Ref for distribution line type’. Select ‘Enabled’ flag and ‘Maintain Balances’ which will enable us to check the subledger balance for the Supporting reference. Select year end carry forward as ‘Never’.

 

Click on ‘Add Detail’ in the ‘Supporting Reference Detail’ section.
Upto five details can be added to a supporting reference. Give the Code as ‘DISTTYPE’, name as ‘Distribution Type’.
 
 
Click on ‘Assign Sources’. In the search section, select application name as ‘Payables’ and source name as ‘Invoice Distribution Type’. Click on Go, in the search results select ‘Invoices’ in the Event Class Name. Click on ‘Apply’.
 
 
 
 
Assign Supporting Reference to the Journal Line Definition.

Subledger Accounting Setup --> Accounting Methods Builder --> Methods and Definition --> Journal Lines Definition
Query for the Journal Line Definition for the event class ‘Invoices’, in the journal line type select the ‘Liability’ . Go to the supporting references tab and assign the supporting reference ‘XX Dist Type SR’.
 
 
Validate the Application Accounting Definition.
Create an invoice, validate and do accounting.
Check the journal lines created.
 
 
 
Click on the supporting references for the Liability
Check the supporting reference details. Supporting reference has been created with Detail Name as 'Distribution Type' and value as 'Item', which is the invoice distribution line type.
 
 
 
Supporting Reference Balances

We can check the balances for the supporting reference in the Supporting Reference Balances. Run the ‘Subledger Accounting Balances Update’ program.

  1. A writer should always try to keep its writing very simple and clear. Always use facts which are easily acceptable by general people because they are very close to their assumptions and they welcome such kind of facts. cursus website bouwen amsterdam
