Oracle BI Applications Knowledge Base - Oracle R12 SLA (Sub-Ledger Accounting) and Impact To BI Applications

With Oracle EBS R12, a new sub-ledger accounting (SLA) engine was introduced that processes transactions between subledgers like AP and the general ledger. This SLA engine captures more detailed accounting information than prior releases. However, the flexibility of SLA means subledger transactions may not match what is posted to the general ledger. As a result, Oracle BI Applications reconciliation processes may find unmatched rows. Customizing BI Application extracts to read SLA tables or ensuring subledger and general ledger data are reconciled can address this issue.
