Oracle Receivables uses the Account Generator to ensure that the system uses the correct balancing segment values when you generate finance charges or post exchange rate gains and losses to your general ledger. For example, the balancing segment of an invoice for which you assess finance charges has a value of '01' and the balancing segment of your finance charges account is '02'. When Receivables accrues finance charges for this invoice, the Account Generator automatically changes the balancing segment of the finance charges account to '02'.

In Receivables, the Account Generator is set up to automatically update these segment values as described above. To modify the default setup using Oracle Workflow (for example, to use a different balancing segment for either the finance charges or Receivables account), see: Customizing the Account Generator for Oracle Receivables.

Note: Some Oracle financial applications, such as Oracle Payables and Oracle Purchasing, use the Account Generator to create accounting combinations that record detailed information about each transaction. However, Oracle Receivables uses AutoAccounting to create the general ledger accounts for your manually entered or imported transactions.
