A Multi Segments to ONE parameter/token ?

Question

I have a report which query using the (GL_Account) which is the only parameter needed, and it has a value set in the application,
but my problem is that how i will assign it to a token in the report,
i mean, as you know the GL_Account is a desc flexfield made of many segments (segment1 , segment2, segement3,...) like this 11.61100014.000.0000
So how we will assign it to one parameter (token)?
If we made a parameter called p_account,
how we will use it in the where condition ?
WHERE ????? = :p_account ?
i Hope u got me :-/

Answer 1

Define another parameter, chart_of_accounts_id, wit value set indicated in image1, and a lower sequence that the one for the code combination. The fact is that there can be many COA's, and different accounting flexfield validations for each one, so to adequately identify it this parameter needs to be passed. From a standard report, copy also the default type and default value.
Review the Flexfields guide on the reporting section, as You'll need to code a before report trigger and define some lexical parameters.
