Integrating with Oracle Subledger Accounting

Oracle Subledger Accounting is an intermediate step between each of the subledger applications and Oracle General Ledger. Oracle Subledger Accounting creates the final accounting for subledger journal entries and transfers the accounting to Oracle General Ledger. It stores a complete and balanced subledger journal entry in a common data model for each business event that requires accounting.

Oracle Subledger Accounting provides a uniform approach to accounting and a common set of tools that enable you to configure accounting rules for applications that require accounting. It includes a common user interface and a set of programs that can generate accounting for Oracle and non-Oracle applications. When you set up rules in Oracle Subledger Accounting, you can define the types of lines, descriptions, and accounts to store on journal entries. Oracle Subledger Accounting partitions data by subledger application, while storing the information in a common model.

Oracle Projects generates accounting events and the create accounting process creates the subledger accounting entries for the accounting events. Oracle Projects predefines setup for Oracle Subledger Accounting so that the create accounting process accepts the default accounting information from Oracle Projects without change. Oracle Subledger Accounting transfers the final accounting to Oracle General Ledger. If you define your own detailed accounting rules in Oracle Subledger Accounting, then Oracle Subledger Accounting overwrites default accounts, or individual segments of accounts, that Oracle Projects derives using AutoAccounting, or the Project Budget Account Generation workflow for integrated budgets.
