GL Reconciliation process in Infomratinca for Financial analytics

Question

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.
file_group_acct_codes_ora.csv >-- file_group_acct_names.csv >--file_grpact_fsmt.csv
(GL ACC NUM) (GROUP ACC NUM) (FSTMT ITEM CODE)
