After you have used your chart of accounts for transaction processing, you can make changes to certain options. Most of theses changes can be made from the Key Flexfield Segments form. Other changes, such as enabling the management segment, can only be made by running two programs in sequence: Prepare Journal Batches for Management Segment Upgrade and Complete Management Segment Upgrade. See Assigning the Management Segment to an Existing Chart of Accounts.
The following changes are permitted from the Key Flexfield Segments window. Before you can make these changes, you must unfreeze your chart of accounts structure.
Cross-Validate Segments: You can enable or disable this option at anytime in the Key Flexfield Segments window.
Freeze Rollup Groups: You can enable or disable this option at anytime in the Key Flexfield Segments window.
Allow Dynamic Inserts: You can enable or disable this option at anytime in the Key Flexfield Segments window.
Window Prompt label: You can change the segment label displayed for each segment in the Segments Summary window.
Default Value: You can change or remove the default value specified for Segments in the Segments window.
Security Enabled: You can enable security for a segment in the Segments window.
List of Values Prompt and Window Prompt: You can change the prompt for the List of Values and window for each segment in the Segments window.
Note: After making the permitted changes, you must save your changes, then freeze and compile your chart of accounts.
Warning: When defining or making the permitted changes to your chart of accounts, always use the Accounting Flexfield. Any changes made to the GL Ledger Flexfield could cause data corruption issues.
