Financial Analytics (Map GL natural account to group account numbers )

Hi All,
In configuring Financial Analytics file_group_acct_codes_ora.csv file to map oracle general ledger natural account to group account number, It is mentioned that a range of accounts can be grouped as EX:
Chart Of Aaccount ID=1 FROM ACCT=101010 TO ACCT=101099 Group_ACCT_NUM= CA
on what basis we need to decide what range of accounts can we grouped as CA/ FG INV/ AP / AR etc. Are there any ERP tables that holds these information.
Thank you

No, this is not in the ERP.Usually the FInance analyst or Business Process Owner will be able to provide the info

Problem configuring Oracle Financial analytics

Hi All,
I am facing difficulty in configuring a csv source file 'file_group_acct_codes_ora.csv' for informatica.
This file is used as a lookup by informatica to map the natural account numbers to group account numbers.
The file actually maps a range of natural account numbers to a group account number like 'cash','AP','AR' etc.
Where from do i get the information to perform this mapping.I mean,which table in the OLTP will have this information?
From my customer,I got a generic classification of account numbers like 'Assets','Revenue','Liability' etc.
But because I have not configured this csv file,the warehouse table 'W_GL_GROUP_ACCOUNT_D' is empty even after running the ETL.
If anyone has done the configuration before,could you please send me the steps that I need to follow for the configuration.I have the docs,but they are not conclusive.
Your inputs would be of great help.
Thanks in advance,
Mukund

Hi everyone,
There is not actually any supportative documentation available to my understanding. What I did I took the P&L and BS reports and sorted out how the group accounts are calculated in the logical layer into the items present in P&L and BS reports. What we then did was that our finance people took a look at this mapping and sorted out how to map natural account ranges into the group account numbers.
To my understanding the only usage for this mapping is to get the account level data into the predefined reports. Other usage for this mapping is to harmonize different account structures into one.
In general you have the option to either follow up this practice or great your own. And of course you can always use the account information directly in the reports.
I would be interested to know if anyone has any additional information on this matter.

OBIA financial Analytics account group customization

The end user needs to show his names convention for financial elements of balance sheet in General Ledger dashboard for Oracle BI Apps 7.9.6.3 instead of oracle standard names convention specified in file file_group_acct_names.csv How can I do that?
for example he wants the standard balance sheet to show for example financial element "Capital" which is not found in the above file and what only found is CMMN STOCK
and Preferred STOCK. In other words, is it possible to add user convention names in file file_group_acct_names.csv and file_group_acct_codes_ora.csv and use it instead oracle names??
what steps shall I do to implement so, if it is possible?
Thanks

You can add those customizations to that file and the other dependent files, follow the steps per this note and you should be able to customize the Group Account Numbers : OBIA: Problems Related to Group Account Number in Implementing on EBS Financials R12 Source [ID 1363433.1]

Mapping EBS account codes to Group Account Numbers - Customization

Hi,
I want to map the account codes that are present in the Oracle EBS to BI Mappings.
I am aware of the changes to be made to the following three files:
■ file_group_acct_names.csv - this file specifies the group account names and their corresponding group account codes.
■ file_group_acct_codes_ora.csv - this file maps General Ledger accounts to group account codes.
■ file_grpact_fsmt.csv - this file maps Financial Statement Item Codes to group account codes.
The overview of my case is as flows:
The client requires the general accounts to be clubbed into different sub-groups based on their reporting practices. This would lead to generation of around 60-70 odd group account numbers. My queries are as follows:
1.There are cases where accounts belonging to a single parent account needs to be bifurcated into two different group account numbers. In that case, to which group account number should the parent account be classified?
2.Can we go about modifying the existing group account numbers and adding new group account numbers as long as we are able to categorize them in the existing 6 financial statement buckets?
3.What are the changes needed to be done in the RPD file to reflect the changes made to the group account numbers? Any documentation highlighting the same would be highly helpful.
Thanks,
Regards,
Rajit

Hi Krishna,
I have the same required as yours.
I implemented the note 914437.
I noticed two peculiar cases from the standard mapping i.e. (standard BP Role sold to party)
1) In BP transaction, in Display in BP Role drop down list box there is no custom BP Role as shown above but if I select the detail Icon I can find it there as shown in below screen shot.
2) I found in Tx BP there is only one BP Role as shown above but in CRM Web UI there are two BP Roles in the ROLEs assignment block.
Could you please add your comments or solution for it.
Thanks,
Raja

FI-CO Financial Statement FSV vs. Accounting Groups?

Hi Experts,
I have a BW reporting to build financial statement reports, which is the best input structure for BW among Financial Statements Version (FSV) and Accounting Groups.
Thanks in advance,
Roger Andy

Hi Srikanth,
Please confirm me whether I understood correctly or not
1. In ECC all standard reports (SLR_*) uses FSV as input.
2. In general each company code will have its own FSV, but I am little confused about the statement "you can have many FSVs per GL accounts", can you please clarify this.
3. What is exactly "FSV's can be GAAP specific" means
4. Please confirm both FSV and Accounting Groups are in sync or not.
Please confirm the above points.
Thanks,
Andy Roger

You shouldn't be using the NT plugin in 3.1, is there a reason you are using this plugin over AD? If you really want to use it you may need to open a case with support and trace the CMS. Are there any groups currently mapped? if you hit update without adding/removing what happens? What if you remove the NT users group and hit update?

GL Reconciliation process in Infomratinca for Financial analytics

Hi Guys,
I am implementing OBIA Financial Anlytics for the first time, need your valuable input for below issue.
I am trying to understand the GL reconciliation process withing OBIA Fianancial Analytics. As per the document which Oracle has given, I understood that for this process to happen we need GL account mapping to Group_Account_Num (Using file_group_acct_codes_ora.csv, file_group_acct_names.csv, file_grpact_fstmt.csv files).
According to the configuration guide;
By mapping your GL accounts against the group account numbers and then associating the group account number to a Financial Statement Item code, you have indirectly associated the GL account numbers to Financial Statement Item codes as well. This association is important to perform GL reconciliation and to ensure the subledger data reconciles with GL journal entries.
Also it has given one mapping for Financial Statement Item Codes and Base Fact tables. Now my understanding says, all the detail entries of GL AP should get recorded into to W_AP_XACT_F table, and if it is a GL AR entry it should get recored into W_AP_XACT_F and likewise for COGS, REVENUE, TAX and OTHERS.
But currenly in our system, I can see all the entries (AP, AR, COGS, REVENUE, TAX and OTHERS entries) are there in all detail table (W_AP_XACT_F, W_AR_XACT_F, W_GL_COGS_F, W_GL_REVENUE_F, W_TAX_XACT_F, W_GL_OTHER_F table.
Can anybody knows if this is correct behaviour or I am doing some mistake in the configuration.
Thanks in Advance,
Kashi

you need to configure those three files to get the data in to BI and report them.
file_group_acct_codes_ora.csv : you need to pull all your natural GL accounts from EBS and feed them to this file. this file specifies each gl account and its behavior like whether it is a Payable entry or Receivable or Cash or PPE etc. so that you can view the data in payable, receivables etc dashboards with appropriate group totals.
the group codes you define here like AP, AR, CASH, etc must be defined in file_group_acct_names.csv, which is master file for Account groups.
file_group_acct_names.csv: This defines master set of group names you are using in your organization like AP, AR, CASH, PPE etc. these groups intern tagged to a financial statement codes like Revenue, TAX etc. so that you can find what is the total revenue or tax or AP etc for a specific period for a business unit.
file_grpact_fsmt.csv: This a master file containing Financial statement item codes like Revenue, Tax.

Financial Analytics on Vision Demo Database(EBS)

Hi,
We are trying to configure Financial Analytics and view Dashboards for the same.
We have EBS 12 with vision database and created a Demo on the same without following Configuration steps, only by giving the credentials for OLAP and OLTP data sources in DAC and OBI. After which we were able to view some portion of Payables and Receivables. I have 2 questions
1. The measures for GL and Profitability dashboard are null. When I checked the RPD there were conditions for the columns like
FILTER(Core."Fact - Fins - GL Balance"."Activity Global1 Amount" USING Core."Dim - GL Account"."Group Account Number" = 'ACC DEPCN')
and for the same when I checked the physical table in OLAP it has only "Others" and when we checked the mappings and identified the source table in Oracle Apps we could not view any data.
The Question is Do we have any data in vision demo database to configure GL.
2. When we ran the execution plan Financials_Oracle R12 through DAC, all the mappings were successful but now when we run a mapping through Informatica it is throwing an error :
*Cannot find specified parameter file [E:\Informatica\PowerCenter8.1.1\server\infa_shared\SrcFiles\SILOS.SIL_AgreeFact.txt] for [session [SIL_AgreeFact.SIL_AgreeFact]].*
How can we resolve this issue as we know that these parameter files are provided in installation and we copied the same in Informatica folder.
Thanks in Advance,
Devesh
Edited by: Devesh Tewari on Apr 16, 2009 12:10 AM

Devesh,
The location of Parameter Files generated by DAC is defined by InformaticaParameterFileLocation parameter in Setup section in DAC itself.
Copying the source files into Infa_shared is one of the configuration steps and is needed. The thing is that you copy the source files for your mappings (like base for your fiscal calendar, etc.) and not the parameter files for your Workflow Sessions.
So we have 3 different folders here:
1. DAC default parameter folder (when DAC will create the parameter files automatically)
2. Source files for mappings (location configured in Infa)
3. Parameter files for Workflow Sessions run through Informatica (configured in each Workflow Session).
In theory if you run your Workflows only using DAC, you will not be interested in the third folder since it is not going to be used.
If you use Workflow manager, you should place your parameter files in the 3rd folder (\server\infa_shared\SrcFiles by default).
You can also rename parameter files through Workflow Session properties.
Hope it helps..

Financial Analytics - limiting load to specific set of books

Hi all,
we are running POC for Financial Analytics BI Apps 7.9.6 and we are limiting load into OBAW tables to specific set of books from source EBS (using SET_OF_BOOKS_ID_LIST and $$FILTER_BY_SET_OF_BOOKS_ID DAC parameters) - I was a litlle bit digging in Informatica mappings definition and suprisingly found, that those parameters are just used for load of some fact tables (e.g. W_GL_BALANCE_F etc... ), but is not used to load corresponding dimension tables - like W_LEDGER_D or W_GL_ACCOUNT_D or W_GL_GROUP_ACCOUNT_D - which I would expect to be filtered by specified set of books as well - does anybody know, what tables are filtered by those parameters and what is the reason for not restricting all corresponding tables ?
Thanks very much for your responses
Michal Zima

Hi Michal,
I think you're saying that you noticed that the mappings/mapplets that load some of the tables (W_GL_ACCOUNT_D or W_GL_BALANCE_F, etc) are not using any logic to filter by your "set of books id list."
Have you checked the mappings that load the staging and temp tables?
For example: W_GL_BALANCE_F_TMP, W_GL_BALANCE_FS
The reason you're not seeing the "set of books id list" might be that the logic was applied to one of the staging or temp tables (a source for the _f table). Thus it would be redundant to re-apply this logic.
For example:
Notice that SIL_GLBalanceFact uses W_GL_BALANCE_FS as a source table (and loads the W_GL_BALANCE_F table).
But, SDE_ORA_GLBalanceFact is the mapping that loads the W_GL_BALANCE_FS table. The logic for "set of books id list" is included in this mapping (or actually, mapplet).
Hope this helps!
Thanks,
Austin

Financial Analytics: GL Balance query

Hello,
Does anyone if the project to date DR/CR balances as represented in the GL_BALANCES table in Oracle GL is represented in Financial Analytics 7.9.6.3.
Specifically, I want to know where we have the situation where GL is enabled for basic project accounting, would the project_to_date_cr/dr information load into the data warehouse, do any of the standard reports allow you to query this information, or do we need to license Project Analytics for this information or build a customisation?
Cheers,
John

Hi John,
The GL_BALANCES fact table in Financial Analytics (W_GL_BALANCES_F) and it's related aggregates do not contain project_to_date_cr/dr measures; the simplest thing would be to add them by extending the ETL.
Project Analytics does provide seeded measures for project costs and revenue to date, but these will not be in double entry format as per GL, and you would obviously need to be confident that Projects and the projects segment in the GL reconcile perfectly.
Please mark if helpful/correct,
Andy.

Financial Analytics

Hello Friends,
I did a full load of Oracle Financial Analytics R1211 into datawarehouse using the EBS Vision data (I mean out of the box), everything went well but some of the charts and values are not displayed in the dashboards.
I ony set INITIAL_EXTRACT_DATE to JAN 1, 2003.
Do I need to set any other variables. Please help.
Thanks in advance.

If I am not mistaken DAC has defaults for everything even for the INITIAL DATE...so even that one has a default. Trouble is to check if the default is the value you want/need... Like Organization or Inventory IDs... In the OBI Apps documentation there is a doc: Configuring OBI Apps that shows a lot of steps in configuring OBI Apps.. Have you checked this doc ?
I'd suggest you check the query that doesn't show data in the chart, check the table used and then in DAC/Informatica check the map that loads that table.
In my case, customer have changed some values in EBS... different from the ones used in the standard query ... so no data...
Good Luck
Antonio
