Oracle Projects predefines sources, source assignments, and accounting attribute assignments for Oracle Subledger Accounting.
You can use the Accounting Methods Builder to review the sources, source assignments, and accounting attribute assignments. You must access the Accounting Methods Builder using an Oracle Projects responsibility if you want to review the sources, source assignments, and accounting attribute assignments associated with the Projects application. Similarly, if you want to review the sources, source assignments, and accounting attribute assignments associated with Oracle Purchasing or Oracle Payables, you must access the Account Methods Builder using an Oracle Purchasing or Oracle Payables responsibility respectively.
Note: You cannot make changes to predefined sources, source assignments, or accounting attribute assignments. However, you can define your own custom sources. See: Custom Sources, Oracle Projects Implementation Guide.
If you choose to define your own journal line types or application accounting definitions, then you can override the default accounting attribute assignments.
Oracle Projects provides over 300 predefined sources. When you use the Sources window to review the predefined sources, you can optionally export the queried sources from the application to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.
To export a list of sources:
Log into Oracle Applications.
Select an Oracle Projects, Oracle Purchasing, or Oracle Payables responsibility, depending on the sources that you want to review.
Navigate to the Sources window.
