Is it possible to change the chart of accounts in Oracle Financials?

Dear Colleagues,
Is it possible to change the chart of accounts in Oracle Financials?
Thank you in advance.
Andrey

It is not an easy change. Oracle typically recommends against it but sometimes company structure or processes change so much that you are forced to do it.
Take a look at http://www.vantagesolutions.com/media/SCOUG_May_2004.pdf as well as http://www.erpstuff.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=6381.
If you google "change oracle chart of accounts", you will find some more hits as well. This is a big project.
If you other business reasons to do a reimplementation, then changing COA as part of that will be very easy.
For a lot of companies debating between reimplementation and upgrade, a need to change COA becomes the last straw in favor of reimplementation.
Hope this helps,
Sandeep Gandhi

    What are the post steps we need to take care from the EBS database and application side after changing the owner in the Unix level.- Stop the application services
    - Change the ownership from the OS
    - Change the value of "s_dbuser" and "s_dbgroup" context variables in the database context file
    - Run AutoConfig on the database tier node
    - Change the value of "s_appsuser" and "s_appsgroup" in the application context file
    - Run AutoConfig on the application tier node
    - Start the application services

  • Changing the Chart Title in Graphic View in Interactive demand Planning

    Hi All,
    Is it possible to change the Chart title in Graphic View in interactive demand planning screen.
    When we go to interactive planning after loading the data we go to Univariate forecast then switch to graphic, the chart title shows the selection at which the planning is done. For eg; If I plan at die level and i select a particular sap material, the chart title displays Die value and not the material value.
    Is it possible to change the chart title such that it displays all the selections made in selection winodw, like in the above case both Die value as well as SAP Material Number.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Diana

    Dear Diana,
    unfortunately this is not possible.
    The chart title is build from the planning book name + the Show characteristic in the shuffler (+ available nav. attributes of the Show char).                                                           
    The functionality you requested doesn't exist in standard.            
    Regards,

  • Change Existing Chart of Account

    Dear Experts,
    We are planning to change Existing Chart of Account with new COA and Cost Center Hierarchy, We have FICO, MM, HCM, SD and PM, our fiscal year is from June to July currently we have four company codes and one business area all company codes have one COA and Controlling Area kindly advice what measure should we take.
    Moderator: Please, search SDN

    Hi,
    Changing the Chart of Accounts code along with all General Ledger Accounts leads to complete re-implimentation of sap.
    There will be lot of integration points will need to be changed with all the modules like SD, MM, PP and Controllling. Extensive testing of all business processes is needed.
    Definitely it will take lot of time and effor from alll the module and may not be explained in sentences here.
    Best Regards,

  • Is it possible to change the number of weeks to be displayed in the month view in calendar (mavericks)?

    I'd like to know if it's possible to change the number of weeks to be displayed in the month view in calendar? Thanks!

    No.
    There are up to six calendar weeks that might be used to display the 31 possible days in a month.
    So the month view displays six weeks.

  • Is it possible to change the ALV report layout settings in spool request

    Hi All,
    Please let me know is it possible to change the ALV layout settings in background as we can change the layout settings in foreground to get correct format when download to excel.
    Regards,
    Jyothi CH.

    Hello,
    Add a parameter for layout on selection-screen (p_varmm LIKE disvariant-variant).
    As you are in backgroud mode, ALV will be printed with this layout (assuming you call correctly the MF ALV_LIST or REUSE_ALV_GRID)

  • Does anyone know if it is possible to change the display in week view to show 24 hours per day for those of us that work irregular hours

    Does anyone know if it is possible to change the display in week view to show all 24 hours per day for those of us that work irregular hours.
    Also is it possible to have all of the 'all day' entries showing, not just 3.5 of them.
    The app Week Cal HD was the perfect calendar until Apple removed it so could they please offer the same facilities that it offered.

  • Recently, I discovered I have two iCloud accounts. Is it possible to change the Apple ID from one account to match the second account, without losing the information on each account?

    Recently, I discovered I have two iCloud accounts. Is it possible to change the Apple ID for one of the accounts to match the other account, without losing the information from either account.
    thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    It's a little tricky to move data from one iCloud account to another but it can be done. But what makes you think you have 2 iCloud accounts.

  • Is it possible to change the video card of a pavilion g7-1075dx?

    So, I have an HP Pavilion g7-1075dx Notebook with Windows 7. I'm an avid gamer and wish to play the newest games. However, there's one problem thats keeping me from doing so. Alot of the newer games require newer video/graphics cards. This particular laptop has an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250. The newest games seem to require ATI Radeon HD 4850 and above. This is the only thing thats keeping me from playing games like Starcraft II on the highest settings OR in the case of Star Wars: The Old Republic, it almost keeps me from playing the game, period, due to the graphics being too much for my current card to handle, causing massive lag. I was hoping I could change the video card. Upgrade. However, i've heard that with most laptops or notebooks you can't upgrade anything other than the RAM. I'm hoping anyone on here can help me out and tell me if it is possible to get a new video card for my laptop. We don't have a desktop computer so this laptop is my only hope for a long time to play newer PC games.

    Alright, let me put this in a simpler message: Does anyone know if it is possible to change the video card currently in my laptop, the HP Pavilion g7-1075dx, for a newer and better one. ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 to ATI Radeon HD 4850 or higher.

    Since the late 2009 iMacs came out, replacing the hard drive has caused the internal Hard Drive Fan to start running at around 6000RPM.
    This is due to Apple replacing the external Hard Drive temperature sensor with a proprietary firmware and using the drives internal sensor.
    Replacement drives do not contain the firmware to deliver temperature data on the temperature sensor cable.
    When the iMac does not receive a good signal from the hard drive it puts the fan at full speed to protect the drive.
    If you replace your drive, your iMac will initially seem fine, but soon the fan will begin to speed up to full speed. Resetting the SMC (System Management Controller) will have a temporary effect, but again the fan will speed up.
    Fixes people have used in the past included:
    Using smcFanControl and the terminal to set a MAX speed for the fan and writing scripts to start this after every sleep/restart.
    Shorting the temperature sensor cable (Not a possibility on 2011 iMacs) this tricks the iMac into thinking the drives temperature is very low, hence slow fan speed.
    Both these fixes are less then perfect and leave the drive in a dangerous situation with no protection from overheating.
    Another option people try is other Fan Control software. These programs will not work for this particular issue as they often only control the base speed, and if they do control the fans actual speed they rely on the temperature reported by the sensor which is now incorrect.
    HDD Fan Control
    HDD Fan Control works to fix this issue by reading the drives internal temperature using the S.M.A.R.T protocol and set the fans actual speed to a value good to protect the drive.
    It runs at startup and continually to always control the fan correctly, prevent the loud fan noise and protect the drive from overheating
    Instead of HDDFan Control, get the free SSDFan Control

    What do you mean by "like to see" ? You can WRITE the fields in any order you want. If you want to display the internal table in an ALV you can manipulate the fieldcatalog.
    If you want something else other than display the field, you have to explain your req. in detail.
