Impact on accounting if 4 balancing segment is used within OU

Hi All,
  We have requirement
Client has 1 group and 3 business unit under the group.  Group as centralised team wanted to control the all activities within Oracle like raising of PO,entering Invoice,payments and receipting. Client has 1 LE, 1 OU and 4 Purchasing org( 1 for group and 3 for business unit) but they wanted to use different balancing segment for each business underneath  group . There will be 4 balancing segment - 1 for Group and 3 for Business unit so that they can have individual balance sheet.  We are using Encumbrance Accrual accounting method and all Accrual are accrued at the period end. Client use GL,AP,AR,iProc and PO modules.
What is impact and what key consideration we need to consider for this approach ?
Is there shortcoming in this approach ?
Thanks in advance for your response
Thanks,
Jay

   I will put the question in different way
For example
Invoice No : TEST1
Amount - 30 Pounds
AP Liability Account - 600.ZZ999.9603.0.0.0.0
3 lines and 3 distribution
Distribution Line no  Expense Account  Amount 
1 - 600.2277.1452.0.0.0.0 - 10                           
2 - 601.2278.1452.0.0.0.0 - 10
3-  602.2279.1452.0.0.0.0 - 10
When accounting is created
3 lines are created for item expense account  - Amount  30
1 - line for AP liabilities  - 600.ZZ999.9603.0.0.0.0 - Amount 30
if i create Intracompany rules, it is transfer all 30 pounds from 600.ZZ999.9603.0.0.0.0 to  601.ZZ999.9603.0.0.0.0
Is there any possibility of making three lines for liability like
Distribution line no  AP_liability_Account  Amount
1 - 600.ZZ999.9603.0.0.0.0  - 10
2.-  601.ZZ999.9603.0.0.0.0 - 10
3 -  602.ZZ999.9603.0.0.0.0 - 10
Any thoughts on this
Thanks,
Jay

  • Costing - Overriding Salary Payable Account captured in Balancing Segment

    As a standard Functionality Costing Information(Salary Payable Account) recorded in the Balancing Segment of the element Link Screen cannot be over ridden at any Other Level.
    Our Accounting set up involves payment from more than one salary payable accounts , which need to be appropriately selected when the costing process is run.
    However using the standard functionality of the product, is it possible to have multiple salary account information in the balancing segment.?
    We want different Salary Payble accounts to reflect in the Journal Voucher Entry created by costing process , according to the respective legal entity from which the employee is being paid
    Is it Possible???

    HI ramesh,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I gather that the new functionality helps us to make use of the cash management auto reconcilliation process to reconcille payroll payments in GL.
    However Cash Management is available only for the Payroll payment methods of
    checks/cheques. Cash Management is not available for electronic fund transfers (such as NACHA in the U.S.etc).
    Cheque Payments are generally routed through AP in order to maintain a consistent cheque number series.
    In case you have successfully used this to reconcille cash and electronic payments then please do us know.

  • Balancing Segment Value assignment to Legal Entity using Account Setup Mgr

    Hello,
    This is on r12.06
    By mistake- I did not assign BSV at Legal Entity level, insteady I directly assigned at Ledger level. Now, I am getting following error when running "Accounting Program" standard program
    The subledger journal entry contains lines with balancing segment values that are not assigned to any legal entity.  Unassigned balancing segments cannot be used to balance a subledger journal entry with balancing segments already assigned to a legal entity.  Either update the balancing segment value assignments for the ledger ADP/Claims Solutions Group or update the balancing segment values used on the subledger journal entry Upon research, It was discovered that that the Balancing segment is assigned only at ledger level and it is not assigned at Legal Entity level in account setup manager.
    When I attempted to assign the BSV at LE level, it is not showing the BSV in list of values.
    I even end dated BS at ledger level and tried again but still the concerned BSV is not showing up in LOV at Legal entity level.
    Now I am completely stuck. Any idea what am I missing? Why, the new BSV is not showing up at LE level LOV when attempting to assign BSV at LE level?
    Thank you for reading this post in advance.
    Regards,
    R

    Once a BSV is assigned to the ledger it does not appear in the LOV of BSV-LE assignment field. Pl see if you can delete the BSV from ledger assignment, then only you can re-assign to LE. In my opinion, it allows you to delete the BSV from ledger level if you have not already used it in transactions. In your case, I wonder if it will allow you to delete it. If not, you have to raise SR with Oracle support.

  • Are multiple balancing segments permitted in the R11i Account Flexfield

    Can I specify two segments in my account flexfield as balancing segments in R11i ?
    i.e. using the Flexfield Qualifiers, check the Balancing Segment checkbox for two different segments.

    Hi
    I have done the testing of the same in R12 vision instance.
    Whereby the company segment is already designated as a Balancing segment and i tried to make another segment for e.g. Department or Future1 as the balancing segment, however i was not able to do so and recieved a pop-up mentioning APP-FND-00990: you already have a enabled this qualifier option for another segment.
    So may be the note/statement has been removed, but i think the restriction still applies.
    You can try testing the same at your end in your instance for confirmation purposes.

  • India Localiztion taxes balancing segment wise

    Hi,
    We are implementing Oracle Financials (AP,AR,FA,CM,Gl,PO&INV) for a service company. India Localization Service Tax & TDS are applicable. And, the requirement is B/S and P&L at Division Level (30 Devisions).But the Inventory Organization is only one.So, we can give only one balancing segment values while defining service tax regime tax accounts, which will defaluts to service tax account lines with this reason we can get exact b/s and p&l at the division level.
    Kindly suggets me is there any way to fulfill this rquirement. Or should i have to define 30 inventory orgs which will increase my maintance and period closing activities.
    This is the major rquirement for most of the service industries.

  • Can balance sheet be derived from a segment other than balancing segment

    Hi,
    In our Chart of account following segment are there:
    1. Company Balancing Segment
    2. Branch
    3. Department Cost Centre
    4. Line of Business
    5. Account Natural Account Segment
    6. Sub Account
    The requirement is to derive Balance Sheet and P&L Company Wise, Branch Wise and Line of Business Wise.
    Can we draw balance sheet and P&L for Branch and LOB when they are not balancing segments.
    We are implementing oracle Rlease 12.1.1
    Please Reply...
    Regards
    Asif Iqbal
    Email id- [email protected]

    Hi Asif,
    You can derive the Balance sheet on other segments, but there is a high probability that your journals wont be balanced on that other segment. To generate the balance sheet, you need to have the Trial balance balanced on the segment on which you want to generate the BS.
    Thanks,

  • Error - Journal Entry in R12 -"This balancing segment value....."

    Hello Friends,
    On R12 -> PROD version
    When I enter an Account in Journal, I am getting Error - > "This balancing segment value is not valid for current Ledger"
    It is completly a new setup of R12 accounts.

    Hello Friends,
    Finally I was able to post to GL, ofcourse learned in process how to find where the issue lies. Anyway....still there are some questions.
    Coming back to my earlier 2 questions:
    I noticed, when I assigned Balancing Segment to the Primary Ledger, I get the problem "This balancing segment......", so I just didnot assign any this time and was able to post to GL. I understand that BS assignment might be required to balance the entries in Ledger but I then have not yet quiet grasped the concept, so for a while I might just go with this.
    The 2nd error, I did get that again but I proceeded inspite of that and it is working okay, so donot know what was that one for and now that I know have to dubug, I will keep an eye for it and post any info on that later.
    Thank you all for the help and pointers..

  • Balancing Segment issue

    Hi,
    I am confusing on the balance segments usage. I checked from the articles.
    "If a Balancing Segment Value is assigned to a Legal Entity, one would be able to create transactions from this Legal Entity only if a Balancing Segment Value is assigned. (in payables/ receivables to which this legal entity is assigned)."
    If it is true, I have the question:
    I did a test. We have a ledger "USD LEDGER". Under this ledger, we have 3 legal entities "A", "B" and "C". The following is the currnet BSV assigment:
    BSV 6049 to ledger "USD LEDGER"
    BSV 6426 to ledger "USD LEDGER"
    BSV 6439 to ledger "USD LEDGER"
    BSV 6448 to ledger "USD LEDGER"
    BSV 6415 to entity A
    BSV 6422 to entity B
    BSV 6424 to entity C
    From the above setting, I created an AP invoices in entity B with the following distribution lines:
    1. Item, Amount=1.00, Account=6422.0000.343162.0000.000000.000.0000.000
    2. Item, Amount=1.00, Account=6049.0000.343162.0000.000000.000.0000.000
    3. Item, Amount=-1.00,Account=6049.0000.343162.0000.000000.000.0000.000
    The default AP liability account=6422.0000.311101.0000.000000.000.0000.000
    Supposed I can use BSV 6422 only if I create AP invoice in legal entity B. However, I can also use 6409 as expense item in AP distributions and its acccounting could be created succssfully. Here is the AP jounral created in legal entity B:
    6422.0000.311101.0000.000000.000.0000.000     Liability     Dr 1.00     
    6422.0000.311101.0000.000000.000.0000.000     Liability Cr 2.00
    6422.0000.343162.0000.000000.000.0000.000     Item Expense Dr 1.00     
    6049.0000.343162.0000.000000.000.0000.000     Item Expense Cr 0.00
    Why could I user 6049 in the above entry? Could anybody please kindly explain and show me why? Thanks.

    Hi Edmond,
    the reason for asking the source of article was to find out in what context that was referred in, i was not implying that the statement is misleading or incorrect ... Oracle Support documentations are considered final in key decision making areas during implementation and post implementation period ... hence there is no question on the validity of what Oracle says ... However the interpretations are to be carefully reviewed ....
    Assignment of BSV values to Ledger and Legal Entity was a change brought forward in Release 12 version of Oracle E business suite, it was not the case in the older version i.e. 11i... Now there are two places in which BSV values are to be assigned ....
    1) At the Legal Entity Level - This is MANDATORY
    Every transaction that is recorded at the operating unit level will have a reference to its legal entity as well ... By looking at the account code combination or BSV
    used in the subledger transaction, we can clearly identify which Legal Entity this transaction belongs to, whereas we have to let the system know of that as well i.e.
    which BSV's point of which LE's. This link needs to be established for performing transaction processing at the Operating unit Level ....
    There are no transactions that are processed at Legal Entity Level, all transactions are recorded and processed at Operating unit level, however this configuration
    became a pre-requisite to do that ..
    Assume a Scenario where,
    USD Ledger has 2 Legal entities LE 1 and LE 2 ...and 3 Operating units OU 1 and OU 2 under LE 1 and OU 3 under LE 2
    In 11i, when you enter a transaction in OU 1 and OU 2, it is clear that the transaction belongs to LE 1 and not any other ....
    whereas in R12, that is not enough ... i have to say that which value of my company segment points to LE 1 and LE 2 ... The change is due to the system design ....and
    other system dependancies ....The link between Operating unit and Legal Entity is established or governed through BSV value assignments
    2) At the Ledger Level - This is purely OPTIONAL
    This assignment is normally not performed in most of the client places or atleast i have not seen it being performed ....
    This is useful when you are performing a transaction that does not belong to a Legal Entity .... when a transaction does not belong to LE, which means it does not have a operating unit as well ... which also means that, such transactions will not be performed at Subledger level, they can only be done at the Ledger Level ..i.e. in
    General Ledger MOdule.
    Assume a scenario where,
    Client has 3 different Ledgers and wants to consolidate the 3 ledgers data in to a new ledger .. this new ledger would be used only to hold consolidation data and
    extract financial reports nothing more .. in which case this new ledger will not require a Legal entity, when there is no Legal entity, you cannot assign BSV value ...
    so in that case, BSV assignment at Ledger level would help in performing the consolidating activity and adjustments type of transactions ......
    Also note, that when no BSV is assigned at Ledger level, system displays all values.
    I am yet to see a documentation from oracle or others, which states the restrictions on displaying or not displaying LE values based on BSV assignments at LE or Ledger Level ....

    Ivruksha

  • Segment Qualifiers for a Balancing Segment

    hi,
    I was trying to set the segment qualifiers for a segment value (of a balancing segment) , the default value of Account type was displayed as "expense" . Should that be left as it is or changed?
    As far as I know, the segment qualifiers of a balancing segment are mainly "Allow Budgeting" and "Allow Posting". Can the account type qualifier be "expense" for a balancing segment value?
    Please clarify.

    Hi,
    As written in the GLUG :
    Balancing Segment
    When you define an account, you must make one of the segments a balancing segment. The system ensures that journal entries are balanced--debits equal credits--for each value of the balancing segment. You should make the company segment the balancing segment, so that journal entries always balance by company.
    The aim of the Balancing segment is to ensure debit entries equal credit entries,
    Debit and credit are entries made with any account type :
    Asset, Liability, Expense, Revenue, or Equity

  • Balancing Segment Value set Does't show values and Giving error Page.

    In R12,LOV of Balancing segment, doesn't show values and giving error page while creating Retained Earnings Account in Ledger Options Page.
    If once the ledger options finished, and it gets the status completed, can't we modify the Ledger options in future.
    By mistake we finished. can i delete Primary ledger from Accounting stucture?
    Thanks in advance,
    VRC Murthy

    Turn on the dynamic insert for your chart of account structure.
    Make sure you have at least one value in each of the value value set attached to COA segments. Make sure retained earning account value exists in your Account value set.
    Now you will be able to pick your retained earnings account in Accounting Setups screen.
    After completing your ledger setup you will be able to modify some options like suspense account, reversal set, future enterable periods etc.
    I have explained the GL setup in detail in my online training videos at http://handsonerp.com

  • Modeling legal entities using balancing segment

    Oracle documentation says:
    "It is highly recommended that you model your legal entities using the balancing segment so that you can take
    optimal advantage of Oracle's product features related to legal entity accounting."
    My question is what features will we miss out if we do not specifically assign balancing segment values to legal entities?
    Thanks

    Once a BSV is assigned to the ledger it does not appear in the LOV of BSV-LE assignment field. Pl see if you can delete the BSV from ledger assignment, then only you can re-assign to LE. In my opinion, it allows you to delete the BSV from ledger level if you have not already used it in transactions. In your case, I wonder if it will allow you to delete it. If not, you have to raise SR with Oracle support.
    Thanks

  • GL - replacing  the balancing segment another value

    Hi,
    An example of a situation, we need to replace the balancing segment value to another. External entity has proposed update on set of values and update the GL_code_combinations table. I rknow that Oracle does not recommend making updates on the tables, but needs additional arguments to specify that this is not the correct way:
    - losing the historical data on the balancing segment value primary (no option to report data after update)
    - The possibility of wrongful conduct customized solutions
    - lack of certainty of updating the tables with values and code combinations are enough to udate?
    Do you have any idea what else could be danger with that solution?
    Thank you very much for suggestions..
    Magda

    Instead of updating the base table, you can follow the below mentioned approach.
    Take the Detail trial balance for the old BSV.
    Create a new journal passing the CR/DR to the new BSV with other combination remaining same, this will knock off the balance of Old BSV.
    Use the replacement account feature for all the future Subledger pending accounting entry for Old BSV.
    Regards
