Types of Accounts
Account
Type
Liability
Prepayment
Bill Payable
Description
Accounting statement which tracks how much a person or business owes

a creditor.
A common example of a liability is accounts payable. Accounts payable
arise when a company purchases goods or services on credit from a
supplier. When the company pays the supplier, the company's accounts
payable is reduced.
A prepayment is a type of invoice you enter to pay an advance payment
for to a supplier or employee. This account captures this payment
information.
For example, you may need to pay a deposit on a lease, or you may need
to pay an employee an advance for travel expenses. You can later apply
the prepayment to one or more invoices or expense reports you receive
from the supplier or employee to offset the amount paid to them.
Types of Prepayment:
o Temporary
o Permanent
Temporary:
- Temporary prepayments can be applied to invoices or expense reports
you receive.
- For example, you use a Temporary prepayment to pay a hotel a catering
deposit. When the hotel's invoice arrives, apply the prepayment to the
invoice to reduce the amount you pay.
Permanent:
- Permanent prepayments cannot be applied to invoices.
- For example, you use a Permanent prepayment to pay a lease deposit for
which you do not expect to be invoiced.
You can use Bills Payable to control the timing of your payments and,
therefore, control your cash flow.
A bill payable, formerly known as a future dated payment, instructs your
bank to disburse funds to your supplier's bank on a specific date known
as the maturity date.
Other commonly used terms for this type of payment are notes payable
or promissory notes.
Account Type
Discount Taken
Description
PO Rate Variance
Gain/Loss
Expense Clearing
Miscellaneous
Retainage
Realized
Gain/Loss
Payables use this account to record the discounts you take on

payments.
Use the Discounts Taken and Lost report to identify payments for
which you could have taken a discount, but did not.
If you find that you are losing discounts, you can change your system
and supplier defaults and modify your payment batch selection
criteria to make sure that you take all valid discounts.
Payables use these accounts to record the exchange rate variance
gains/losses between your purchase order and invoice.
Payables calculate these amounts during Approval.
You can view the distribution amount for these variances in the
Distribution Inquiry window.
This will be a default liability account for iExpenses expenses reports
imported into Oracle Payables.
The Expense Clearing Account field is also available in the Card
Program window. If you define the Expense Clearing Account field in
the Card Program window, the value you define there will take
precedence over the value in the Oracle Payables Financial Options
window.
Enter a Miscellaneous account if you want to use a specific account
for miscellaneous charges.
If you leave this value blank, then miscellaneous amounts are
prorated across the Item lines and charged to the Item line accounts.
Retainage represents funds withheld from payment to ensure that
the contractor finishes work as agreed.
The buying organization releases these funds only after verifying
that the contractor has fulfilled all contractual obligations.
Retainage is also called "retention" or "contractual withholds".
With Oracle's Complex Work feature, contract administrator can
negotiate retainage terms with the contractor and capture these as
part of the contract. These terms include Retainage Rate and
Maximum Retainage Amount.
When you pay a foreign currency invoice, if the exchange rate
changes between invoice entry and payment, Payables automatically
calculates the realized gain or loss and records it in this account.
If you reconcile your payments, Payables also records a realized gain
or loss if there is a difference in the exchange rate between the
payment date and reconciliation date.
Account Type
Rounding
Description
Freight
Cash Clearing
Cash
Bank Charges
Bank Error
Payables use this account when you use multiple currencies and the
payment currency does not round within the payment currency precision.
For example, if a payment rounds to 100.001 UKS, the payment will be for
100.00 UKS, and the rounding error of .001 will be recorded in this
account.
If you enable the Automatically Create Freight Distribution Payables
option, you must enter a freight account.
Payables use this account as the default freight account for an invoice. You
can override this account during invoice entry.
The cash clearing account you associate with a payment document.
You use this account if you integrate Oracle Payables with Oracle Cash
Management, or if you generate future dated payment documents.
Oracle Payables credits this account instead of your Asset (Cash) account
and debits your Liability account when you post uncleared payments.
Oracle Payables debits this account and credits your Asset (Cash) account
once you clear your payments in Oracle Cash Management.
You must enable the Allow Reconciliation Accounting Payables option to
be able to enter a cash clearing account for a bank account and payment
document.
Cash Management enables you to reconcile payments you created in
Oracle Payables against your bank statements.
You can use Cash Management to: Automatically account for the delay in
bank clearing of payments by crediting a cash clearing account when you
issue a payment, and clear the balance with a cash account when you
reconcile the payment.
If you have enabled the Allow Reconciliation Accounting Payables option
and you are using Oracle Cash Management to reconcile your payments,
enter the bank charges account you are associating with a bank account.
When you reconcile your invoice payments using Oracle Cash
Management, Payables creates accounting entries to record your bank
charges using this account.
The account you enter here defaults to the Bank Charges account field in
the GL Accounts region of the Payment Documents window.
If you have enabled the Allow Reconciliation Accounting Payables option
and you are using Oracle Cash Management to reconcile your payments,
enter the bank errors account you are associating with a bank account.
When you reconcile your invoice payment using Oracle Cash
Management, Payables creates accounting entries to record any bank
errors using this account. The account you enter here defaults to the Bank
Errors account field in the GL Accounts region of the Payment Documents
window.

Payables Accounting Definitions

First lets u dersta d types of Accounting Methods and its usage.
There are two different types of accounting methods,
Sno. Principal Accounting Method

1.
Cash Basis
2.
Accrual
Cash basis Accounting

- Cash-based accounting recognizes
income when money is received.
- An expense is recognized when it's
paid.
Accrual Accounting
- Accrual-based accounting recognizes
income when goods are shipped or
services are rendered.
- An expense is recognized when the
business is obligated to pay it.
Example 1:
Your computer installation business finishes a job in November, and doesn't get paid until three
months later in January.
o Under the cash method, you would record the payment in January.
o Under the accrual method, you would record the income in your November books.
Example 2:
You purchase a new laser printer on credit in May and pay $1,000 for it in July, two months
later.
o Using the cash method, you would record a $1,000 payment for the month of July, the
month when the money is actually paid.
o Under the accrual method, you would record the $1,000 payment in May, when you
take the laser printer and become obligated to pay for it.
17
Advantages and disadvantages of the accrual method:
- While the accrual method shows the ebb and flow of business income and debts more
accurately, it may leave you in the dark as to what cash reserves are available, which
could result in a serious cash flow problem.
- For instance, your income ledger may show thousands of dollars in sales, while in reality
your bank account is empty because your customers haven't paid you yet.
Advantages and disadvantages of the cash method:
- Though the cash method provides a more accurate picture of how much actual cash
your business has, it may offer a misleading picture of longer-term profitability.
- Under the cash method, for instance, your books may show one month to be
spectacularly profitable, when actually sales have been slow and, by coincidence, a lot
of credit customers paid their bills in that month.
18
Subledger Accounting Components:
There are 5 major components involved,
O e of the ajor o po e ts is Subledger Accounting Method (SLAM . This is othi g ut

the Principal Accounting Methods we discussed above.
Five Subledger Accounting Methods are seeded in the Application.

Oracle provided required code fix patches to resolve these issues.

Even applying the patches if the issues exists, cross check the journal line definitions.
Error Code
Error Message
Error 95311
The segment value for the account code combination specified in line XX
is not assigned to the ledger
Cause:
There are numerous causes for this error some of them are,
AP_SYSTEM_PARAMETERS columns might contain -1 Value.

Create Accounting error while cancelling Invoices.
Cash clearing account might not be defined properly (or) the accounting combination
might be restricted using CVR / SR.
The BSV/Company Code segment is not valid for that ledger.

Solution:
When defining a new OU, properly define Organization level setups like Financial
Options, Payables Options, payables System Setup and bank account setups.
If secondary ledger is used, cross check whether it is properly mapped with primary
ledger.
If any incorrect LE/BSV is used correct it.

47
Cause:
The cause of the current issue is invalid / incorrect data in XLA_TRANSACTION_ENTITIES.

The invoice or payment has 2 rows in XLA_TRANSACTION_ENTITIES and PAYMENT
CLEARED event has different entity_id in xla_events than the PAYMENT CREATED and
PAYMENT UNCLEARED events.
Solution:
Apply patch 9651687:R12.XLA.B.
Error Code
Error
Error Message
Error: AP_ACCTG_EVENT_SKIPPED
Cause:
If any corrupted data in the payments results in failure of "Create Accounting" program.
To skip those corrupted data logic is built such that those events would be stamped with
error "AP_ACCTG_EVENT_SKIPPED".
Solution:
Check for the other error in XLA_ACCOUNTING_ERRORS,this would be the actual error
which prevents the payment from accounting.So the accounting error
"AP_ACCTG_EVENT_SKIPPED" can be ignored.

Create Accounting Performance Issues

Issue Description:
Sometimes the program runs for long time to complete (or) runs slowly.
Below bugs been identified for this performance issue.

Bug#
Bug 9366101
Bug 9351919
Description
Create accounting process takes 2 hours of time, of which around 1 hour is
taken to execute the FUN queries. The cause of the poor performance is due
to the lack of the join condition on the LEDGER_ID column.
Filters on Application_ID were missing in several queries, and leading/index
hints were also missing.
Solution:
Step 1: Download & apply below patches.
Patch 9366101:R12.FUN.A
Patch 9351919:R12.XLA.A.

GL Transfer
(SLA GL)
53
Process:
Data Corruption Issues during

SLA GL Transfer
Once the accounting entries are generated for all transactions in sub-ledgers it has to be
transferred from Sub-ledger to General Ledger.
During the transfer process some data corruption issues might occur some of them are listed
below.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Data with negative LEDGER_ID in the General Ledger (GL) tables.

Data marked as "Transferred" in SLA but which has not reached GL.
Data marked as "Not Transferred" in SLA, but which has reached GL.
Multiple posting issues.
Data which is in GL but which has been deleted from SLA (This is NOT applicable for 11i
data)
6. Journal Import failing with EP01 error while running the Transfer Journal Entries to GL
program
7. Data accounted in 11i and transferred to GL in R12 which is missing gl sl link id.
Note** Never cancel the Journal Import program.

How do you link GL Data with SLA Data?

Usi g ta le GL_IMPORT_REFERENCES . The joi
GL_IMPORT_REFERENCES.gl_sl_link_id
GL_JE_BATCHES.group_id
o ditio as elo .
=> XLA_AE_LINES.gl_sl_link_id
=> XLA_AE_HEADERS.group_id
60
If gl_sl_link_id does not exist in table GL_IMPORT_REFERENCES how relationship is derived

between GL & SLA data?
Usually using REFERENCE Columns i.e. columns from REFERENCE5 to REFERENCE10 in

GL_IMPORT_REFERENCES we can able to identify the relationship.
These columns populated with entity_id, event_id, ae_header_id, ae_line_num,

accounted_cr, accounted_dr.
Note** But sometimes these REFERENCE columns might not be populated during transfer
process. This happens when the patch 7512923:R12.XLA.A (for R12.0.x) is not applied.
How many group_ids are created during the transfer process when there is a primary ledger
and associated ALC/reporting ledger?
The primary ledger data and associated ALC/reporting ledger data goes into one
group_id.
Data from this one group_id can be split across multiple GL Batches based on other
criteria, such as je_category/date/period. However, one GL Batch can only be associated
to one group_id.
How many group_ids are created during transfer process when there is a primary ledger and
a secondary ledger?
Two group IDs are created--One for the primary ledger and one for the secondary
ledger.
Two journal import processes are spawned in this case, one for each group_id.
If there is failure in the journal import for either ledger, the transfer is rolled back for
both ledgers.
Is there a setup to prevent spawning the Journal Import on instances where a third party
(e.g., Peoplesoft) GL is used?
The profile option "Disable Journal Import" (when set to Yes) prevents the GL Transfer from
invoking the Journal Import. The interface table used in this case is GL_INTERFACE. Setting this
profile option is not recommended if you are using Oracle General Ledger. The profile option is
hidden and disabled in the latest code.
61
When data will be available in XLA_TRIAL_BALANCES table?

When Journal Import program successfully completed, the data will be available in this table.
Note**
Data from XLA_DISTRIBUTION_LINKS is used to populate the XLA_TRIAL_BALANCES

table.
It can also be repopulated during a trial balance rebuild using the "Open Account
Balances Data Manager" process.
62
Journal Import Errors

Below are the possible stages where we frequently face issues/errors during journal import.
Importing Journals from SLA / Create Accounting.

Transfer to GL does not pick rows/fails.
When e ru
Journal Import Execution Report the elo errors
ight o ur,
Errors like EP01, EF01, EE01, EU02, EC12 etc.
Journal Import Execution Report Ends in ERROR but no errors are displayed in output
also data is marked as transferred in SLA
Error 'LEZL0023: Journal Import can only process data from one table at a time'.
Error 'ORA-01460: unimplemented or unreasonable conversion requested'.
Transfer to GL or Create Accounting concurrent request was cancelled after Journal

Import was spawned.
GL transfer is not picking data when ledger is secondary and is disabled.
Lets ie steps to trou leshoot a o e errors.
Step 1: Get the below details.
Ledger ID
Application ID
JE Source
Start Date & End Date
Use the below query to get the above details.

SELECT application_id, je_source_name
FROM xla_subledgers;
63
Error: Journal Import Execution Report shows errors like EP01, EF01 etc.
Errors
Solution
If the Journal Import Execution Report shows Check Period is open if not open it.
Period Error
EP01 this date is not in any open or
future enterable period.
EP03 this date is not within any period
in an open encumbrance year.
EP04 this date is not a business day.
EP05 There is no business days in this
period.
If the Journal Import Execution Report shows Cross check the account setup i.e. whether
Flexfield Errors like
any CVR (Cross validation rule) exists for this.
EF01 This Accounting Flexfield is
inactive for this accounting date.
EF02 Detail posting not allowed for this
Accounting Flexfield.
EF03 Disabled Accounting Flexfield.
EF04 this is an invalid Accounting
Flexfield. Check your cross-validation
rules and segment values.
EF05 There is no Accounting Flexfield
with this Code Combination ID.
Error: Journal Import Execution Report Ends in ERROR but no errors are displayed in output also
data is marked as transferred in SLA
Check the Patch 6748312:R12.GL.A is applied, if not apply it.
64
Error: Journal Import Execution Report shows error 'LEZL0023: Journal Import can only process
data from one table at a time'
Error: Journal Import Execution Report shows error 'ORA-01460: unimplemented or
unreasonable conversion requested'.
Error: Transfer to GL or Create Accounting concurrent request was cancelled after Journal
Import was spawned/ DB got shutdown while running Journal Import But you can
see XLA_AE_Headers. Gl_transfer_status_code='S'
For all a o e errors he k hether the latest Patch 8691650:R12.XLA.A is applied. If not
apply it & resubmit the program.
Error: Another common issue seen is GL transfer is not picking data and ledger is secondary
ledger
Secondary ledger is disabled meaning relationship_enabled_flag in gl ledger is 'N'. Because of
this GL Tra sfer does t pi k se o dary ledger data.
Execute the below update query to fix the above error.
UPDATE XLA_AE_HEADERS XAH

SET
XAH.GL_TRANSFER_STATUS_CODE = 'NT'
WHERE
XAH.APPLICATION_ID = &p_application_id
AND XAH.LEDGER_ID = &p_ledger_id -- ledger id of secondary ledger which is disabled
AND XAH.GL_TRANSFER_STATUS_CODE = 'N'
AND XAH.ACCOUNTING_ENTRY_STATUS_CODE = 'F'
AND XAH.ACCOUNTING_DATE BETWEEN TO_DATE('&p_start_date','DD-MM-YYYY') AND
TO_DATE('&p_end_date','DD-MM-YYYY')
AND EXISTS ( SELECT 1
FROM XLA_EVENTS XE
WHERE XE.APPLICATION_ID = &p_application_id
AND XE.EVENT_ID = XAH.EVENT_ID
AND XE.EVENT_ID = XAH.EVENT_ID
AND XE.EVENT_STATUS_CODE = 'P'
AND XE.PROCESS_STATUS_CODE = 'P');

FAQs: Journal Entry & Reversal

Journal Entry:
How to Delete a Journal batch (or) How to delete a Unposted Journal batch?
Query for the journal Batch, follow the below steps.
Journals Enter Close the Form Click Review Batch button.

Query for the batch.
Using delete icon deletes the unposted journal.
In Journal Entry form why Accounting Periods is not getting listed?

The Accounting period LOV lists o ly period ith status Open & Future Enterable .
When a Journal batch cannot be Deleted / modified?

Below are the scenarios where journal batch cannot be deleted / modified.
1.
2.
3.
4.
Source is frozen
Batch has fund reversed or in process of reserving.
Batch is Posted (or) in process of posting.
Batch is Approved (or) in process of approval.
If the journal batch comes from Sub-Ledgers it should not be updated. Updating the same may
not synchronize the accounting information between Primary ledger & Sub-Ledger.
Alternate Solution: Instead of updating a new journal can be defined & adjusted.
66
Can I restrict users from entering negative amounts in journal lines?

As of now no standard functionality available, since some of the GL programs allows negative
amounts. Using form personalization we can implement the same.
Can we copy journal entries?

No, we cannot.
Is it possible to hide batch & Headers appearing in journal screen?

No.
Journal Reversing:
Instead of reversing single journal entry, the complete batch is reversed and posted. How this
can be corrected?
If Unposted: Delete the unposted reversal batches.
If Posted: Reverse the Reversal batch and repost them.
In R12, the Unposted Journals can be reversed?

In R12, only posted journals can be reversed.
Why a journal entry with a source setup for automatic reversal was not reversed?
General Ledger automatically submits the AutoReverse program when a period is

opened if the profile option, GL: Launch AutoReverse After Open Period, is set to Yes.
If a journal is created after the period has already been opened, then the AutoReverse
program will need to be submitted again manually to pick the new entered journals.
67
Does the reversal program generate separate reversal batches for each journal in a batch that
is reversed?
Yes. When a batch is reversed, General Ledger creates one reversing batch, with one
single journal entry, for each journal entry in the reversed batch.
Therefore a single batch with multiple journals generates multiple reversal batches with
a single journal.
In R12, why can I not modify an Unposted reversal journal?
This is the default functionality in Release 12, as a reversal should match the original
journal.
Using the profile GL: Edit Reverse Journals can be set to allow the modification.
68
Period Close
(AP)
69
Payables Period Close: Diagnostics

Script to be used: ap_pclose_detect_pkg.sql
Current Version of Script: 120.13 (Updated on 16-Jul-2014), check for latest & execute.
Purpose of Script:
It allows us to identify the transactions which affects period close with the corrective
action suggested resolving the same.
No data is created, updated, or deleted by this script.
This will not close the period.
It produces a HTML output all errors/problems related to transactions along with
corrective steps to be taken.
Belo is the Wrapper ripts a aila le i side ap_pclose_detect_pkg.sql .
period_close.sql: This script can be used to submit the validation procedure for a
particular period.
ap_gdf_detect_pkg.sql: To run the AP Data Validation Report and to check for data
corruptions and the corresponding GDFs available.
period_close.sql: To validate all invoices, payments, in a specified period for specified
operating units.
Steps for Diagnostics:
Step 1: Run the wrapper SQL file "period_close.sql" to submit the detection procedure.
The detection procedure will create an output file of the format AP-PCLOSE-<timestamp>.html
and a log file of the format AP-PCLOSE-<timestamp>.log. Also, it will indicate the location of this
file and the log file.
Step 2: Review the output file to determine if any transactions have any issue, if yes follow the
corrective action steps else it is safe to close the current period.
70
Examples to execute the script,
Script Usage
To check all transactions stopping period close
for a particular period
To validate all transactions for one of your
operating units
To run the same validations but including both

org1 and org2
To run the diagnostics along with the AP Data
