Group Accounts in MDG-F

What is correct way to handle Group account in MDG-F in MDG 6.0? We have an operating CoA and Group CoA, if I try to create an account in operating CoA, The MDG chnage request processing requires a value for Group Account. I created a account in Group CoA and tries referencing in operating CoA but it doesnt work as in data model this group account value is being referenced by FS Item entity type.
Should Group CoA be managed as FS  Item? Is there any other way than using FS Item. It seems that if I use FS Item it will require FSI, FSIT & FSIH entity types to be added to edition type as well as chnage request.
Is it possible to replicate FS Item to Group CoA in ECC?
Any expereince in handling such situation?

Hello Zorawar
The process of creating group account in MDG is different. Since the group account is mapped in GL, you have use FSI entity type for creating group account. Then you can use the same group account and map it in operating GL - ACCOUNT entity type.
Now when you create a group account as FSI entity type, there are various fields which are really not required. Inform your business about it. You have to add FSI / FSIT and H in your entity type / edition as it is must but don't fill up values. You may get error but just proceed further. Ignore this error.
Regarding your question on replication - FSI won't get replicated as group account. So what we did is, we have created FSI as well as ACCOUNT for the same group account. Create both in one change request. Your account will get replicated and not FSI.
Try this approach and let me know. As this worked in our case since there was no option. You have to create the same account 2 times using FSI and ACCOUNT entity type,

  • MDG-F Group Accounts

    Hi,
    We are implementing G/L account maintenance using MDG-F.  The scenario includes a group chart of accounts and operating chart of accounts, which have been linked using OB13.  When attempting to create an operating account in MDG-F, the "Group Account" field allows us to select from available financial statement items (FSI) - not from G/L accounts in the group chart of accounts as is needed. 
    Looking at the standard data model 0G, the field "Group Account" does in fact reference FSI instead of ACCOUNT.  How can we specify the group account when maintaining the operating account in MDG-F?  Am I missing something?  We do not plan to maintain FSI in MDG-F. 
    Thanks

    Not an ideal one.  The financial statement items are used for consolidated chart of accounts, but serve a similar purpose as group G/L accounts. 
    We maintained all group accounts as FSI entities and all operating accounts as ACCOUNT entities.  If you use services replication, the group G/L is still created when the FSI entities are replicated. We had to do a few modifications to the mapping, UI, and BRF+ validation rules to suit our needs.

  • Error  in Creation of Group Account Number Through FS00 or ob_glacc11

    Hi

         varying  saldo from glt0-hsl01 next glt0-hsl02.
         gesamtsaldo = gsamtsaldo + saldo.
    ENDDO.

    please give me a solution how can i get the solution.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    You have activated group account number. If you have any grp account number of your company please provide the group company account number.
    Else if you dont want to give group account number
    In T-code: OB13 remove group chart of accounts from your chart of accounts

  • G/l Creation-asking for group account number

    Hello Gurus,
    I am creating G/l through Tcode FS00.But system pop the error .saying provide group account no I have not created any group account no please tell me how to create the group account number.
    Many Many Thanks

    Hi
    You create a group chart of accounts (OB13) and assign it to your operating chart of accounts. you can establish link between every GL account in your operating COA to GL accounts in group COA via gl master (FS01/02/03) via group chart of account field. If you choose to use ECCS (Enterprise Controlling-Consolidation) , then for each GL account in COA you need to create FS Items in ECCS module (1:1) and build the consolidated COA. Otherwise group COA can act as consolidated COA.
    You need Country COA if you need to meet reporting requirements of specific country. An MNC with operations in various countries can have a common COA (operating COA) to ensure standardisation of accounting, but use of operation COA doesnt help in meeting specific accounting countries of country of operation. this arises need for country COA and you can establish a link to each GL account in country COA to GL accounts in operating COA via gl master (FS01/02/03) via alternate chart of account field.
    So group COA sits on top to provide consolidated reporting (in much summarised form, cause 1 or more GL accounts in operating COA can be linked to 1 GL account in group COA) and then you have operating COA (to ensure standardised accounting across countries and facilitate cross company code controlling) and then alternate COA for meeting local requirements.

  • GL Group Account customizations - alpha-num range in "natural" segment

    OBIEE 11g
    BIA 7.9.6.3
    EBS 12.1.3
    Trying to configure custom GL Group Accounts per the BIA documentation and not all of our custom groups are being populated in w_gl_group_account_d. Basically none of the out of the box group numbers are meaningful to us, so we configured the 3 csv files with 29 custom group accounts - only 10 are being populated in the group account table, and I am still looking for the relevant log file to determine why only the 10 (a few of them do have alpha-numeric values).
    Chart of accounts is 9 segments. Segment 4 ("Category") is set up in EBS as the "natural" segment - however, it has both numeric and alpha-numeric values, i.e.:
    101,140,140,FED REV
    101,199,199,FED REV
    101,F101,F108,FED REV
    101,F110,F115,FED REV
    101,212,212,FIXED CHARGES
    101,213,213,FOOD SRVC
    101,203,203,INSTR
    101,B120,B142,LOC REV
    Question 1: Will mapping non-numeric ranges in the file_group_acct_codes csv file even work? Has anyone done this successfully?
    Question 2: If it is not possible to use alpha-numeric ranges in this csv file, that forces us to use another gl segment - will using another segment that is not set up as the "natural" segment in EBS work? Segment 7 ("Object") is numeric, and can also be mapped to custom gl group names.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance.
    Rhonda

    As it turns out, the main problem we had was that the account ranges have leading zeros, and those leading zeros got stripped when the csv files were opened in Excel then saved to the server. The account ranges now look like this:
    101,0140,0140,FED REV
    101,0199,0199,FED REV
    101,F101,F108,FED REV
    101,F110,F115,FED REV
    101,0212,0212,FIXED CHARGES
    101,0213,0213,FOOD SRVC
    101,0203,0203,INSTR
    101,B120,B142,LOC REV
    After re-running a full load it looks like things are populated correctly in both the dim and fact tables. We are still in the process of verifying that the alpha-numeric codes are working properly but at first glance it appears so.
    I'd still like to know the answer to my second question though, whether you can map gl account nums to a segment that is not the "natural" segment in EBS.
    Thanks for the assistance.

  • Group account number / Group Chart of Accounts

    Hi all,
    We have created a new group COA and have assigned it to the company COA.
    (In a production environment)  We have assigned the group COA number under the Group Account Number of the company COA.
    There is already transaction data's posted to these GL accounts for the entire year.
    1. How to update these transaction data's with the Group Account Number?
    2. Is there any program available to make this updating?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi
    Our client is planning to create a group account number and populate the group account number in the GL master.  They already have transactions posted to the group account number.
    But the question is how to populate the group account number on the historical trasnactions. Did you find a solution for this problem?
    Appreciate if you can provide the solution

  • Group Account Configuration - OBIA 11.1.1.7.1

    Hello,
    I am setting up Financial Analytics OBIA 11.1.1.7.1, have following questions regarding group account code setup
    1. Should we always use Natural Account Segment for mapping to Group Account Codes? I could see a customer is using different segment (Sub Account) to classify their accounts to various categories. Should we use combination of Natural Account and Sub Account to classify them in to various Oracle supplied group account numbers?
    2.If i have to go with multiple segments for group account configuration, i could n't see a technical note from oracle support for OBIA 11.1.1.7.1 where ETL tool is ODI. Can we customize ODI using the technote available for Informatica based OBIA 7964 tech note? Are there any changes to apply on top of it?
    Thanks
    Venkat G

    Hi,
    Thanks for reply. We've multiple COAs(Three Companies with seperate COA) Also with in one COA natural Account is dependend on Sub GL Segment and Cost Center. In "file_group_acct_codes_ora" file we only map Natural Accounts.Now if we map only Natural Accounts to Group Account Number it will pull all data. e.g. Natural Account 123,Cost Center A and Sub GL Account 1 should be mapped to Cash. if we map 123 to Cash it will pull all data for all Sub GL Accounts and Cost Centers. Please let me know if you need more clarification.

  • Questions about Mapping GL Accounts to Group Accounts

    Hi,
    I have some questions about mapping gl accounts to group accounts while configuring OBIEE APPS 7.9.6.3 with EBS R12 as a source:
    FIRST QUESTION.-
    For file file_group_acct_codes_ora.csv, I have the following accounts from my customer:
    101101 - Caja Administrativa
    101102 - Fondo Revolvente
    101103 - Caja de Cambios
    101104 - Efectivo en cajero
    This group of accounts is named CASH, now my customer said that this group begins in 101101 and ends in 101199 but in this moment only have this 4 accounts in GL, the rest of the accounts, I mean 101105-101199 are not used right now, they are gonna used in the future.
    So, my question is, in file_group_acct_codes_ora.csv how I need to put this group:
    In this way:
    CHART OF ACCOUNTS ID,FROM ACCT,TO ACCT,GROUP_ACCT_NUM
    50308,101101,101104,CASH
    Or in this way:
    CHART OF ACCOUNTS ID,FROM ACCT,TO ACCT,GROUP_ACCT_NUM
    50308,101101,101199,CASH
    I mean, is there any problem if I use the second way, or is necessary to do it in the first way, and why?
    SECOND QUESTION.-
    For file file_group_acct_names.csv, when I update with a new group of accounts, is there any rule or size boundary for GROUP_ACCOUNT_NAME?
    THIRD QUESTION.-
    For file_group_acct_names.csv, what is the value in column LANGUAGE? I mean, is EBS language?, DB language?, server language?
    I hope that someone can help me, because I need to clarify this and don't do the first full load and this load ends with error because of this.
    Regards,
    Arnulfo

    I'll take some broad swipes at this and let the smarter people come fill in the details.
    We have a true 1:1 setup in our office and have moved to PHDs as a means of protecting against downtime. The thinking is that we will have a spare machine lying around with our base installation ready to go. If a user's machine fails we'll replace it with the spare machine, let it sync the user directory from the server, and we're back in business. It's no substitute for a real backup system, but it potentially avoids having to run a restore from your backups. It also reduces network traffic compared to plain networked homes, and still lets your users work if the server goes down, but provides the benefits of centralized management. John DeTroye wrote a nice article about this.
    If you've already got data on your "client" Mac you will need to move it onto the server. PHDs will download data from the server to the client on the first sync, but will not upload a complete home directory from the client to an empty directory on the server. You'll find some posts in this forum discussing how people have gone about migrating data prior to that first sync.
    WGM allows you to establish exclusions for stuff you don't want to sync.
    One thing to watch out for in the scenario you describe is the so-called "rabbit effect." Assume Bob uses Mac1 as his primary machine. If one day he logs into Mac2 his home directory will be downloaded to Mac2. Once he returns to Mac1 he'll still be cluttering up Mac2 with his data. If he logs into Mac3 the next day and Tom and Sue are also periodically logging into different machines, you can see how you'll end up with a mess pretty quickly.
    Hope this helps.

  • Financial statement by group account number

    Hi,
    I need a financial statement version list by the group account number. I thinking of creating a chart group of account and assign it in the operational chart of account. Then, I thinking of enter the group account number in the master account data ' field group account number' and finally create a statement version with the option flag 'group account number'. As I was reading this functionality is possible, but I want to confirm with someone. It is important to mention that I won't use consolidation, only I want to report a financial statement with the group chart of account.
    Does anyone use this functionality without consolidation and tranding partner?
    thanks,
    Cecilia

    Yes, the steps you mentioned are correct.
    By this you will be able to report the same balance sheet in Group Chart of Account Financial Statement Version format. (It is not mandatory to do the consolidation.)

  • EC-CS: Group account Vs FS Item

    Hi everyone,
    This is about EC-CS, I realized that a transactional account that is maintained with x group account, come to EC-CS with a different FS Item.
    Example:
    Transactional account  (G/L Account) - 50000900
    Group accont number maintained - RD_020011
    FS Item RD_020001 was created in EC-CS
    FS Item in consolidation documents - RD_020003
    Why doesn't consider the Group account number maintained?? I have found just a few accounts with this problem
    Can anybodey help me in this topic?
    Thanks in advance
    Hugo

    Hi,
    Since I've not worked in EC-CS just trying to relate this with the way SEM BCS works.
    May be the derivation of FS-Items from the master of Account is limited to the time when data flows from FI to EC-CS. Later if at all an FS item is derived it may look at some standard settings at EC-CS side. For example for calculation of RE we specfically mention FS item.
    May not be helpful but could provide some hint!

    Hi
    I hope you are not stuck up with the account group. 
    If you are stuck up with a 'group account number', the message is coming as a group chart of account has been created and assigned in your operative chart of accounts.  Please check that. 
    Even if this is the case, the group account name is not a mandatory. If you want to enter an account for consolidation, you can specify that in the GL account or leave it blank. 
    You can also check the account group field status and see the group account number field (i think the 'alternative account number') is a 'required entry'.  If it is a required entry, you will have to change it to 'optional' for making it not mandatory.
