During your implementation, you set a value for each profile option in your General Ledger application to specify how your General Ledger controls access to and processes data.
In general, profile options can be set at one or more of the following levels: site, application, responsibility and user. Use the Update Personal Profile Options window to set those profile options that can be updated at the user level. Your system administrator uses the Update System Profile Options window to set profile options at different levels.
The following profile option affects the operation of General Ledger, but is not "owned" by General Ledger:
MO: Operating Unit - This profile option controls which operating unit a particular responsibility is assigned to. For more information, please see Multiple Organizations in Oracle Applications.
Note: General Ledger's Account Inquiry window ignores the setting of this profile option. This allows you to drill down to your subledgers independent from their multiple organization setup. As a result, when you drill down to subledger details, General Ledger will show you all of the transactions that comprise an account balance, regardless of which organization originated the transaction.
Flexfield: Open Key Window - This profile option controls whether a flexfield pop up window opens automatically when you position your cursor on a field that uses accounting flexfields.
Set the profile option to yes and a pop up window appears whenever you place your cursor on a field that uses accounting flexfields.
If you set the profile option to no, to open the flexfield pop up window you must choose from the list of values or type a partial value and press the Tab key.
