If you are upgrading from Release 10 and used FlexBuilder, then you should perform the equivalent of this setup step as part of your upgrade, see the FlexBuilder chapter of the Oracle Applications Upgrade Preparation Manual.

If you are implementing Oracle Receivables for the first time, you need to review how Receivables uses the Account Generator to update the balancing segment values when you generate finance charges or post exchange rate gains and losses to your general ledger. Consider whether the default Account Generator process is appropriate for each set of books. For each structure and set of books, you can choose one of the following:

• Use the default Account Generator process

• Replace Balancing Segment

• Customize the default Account Generator process

Prerequisites to Using the Account Generator

   Define your Accounting Flexfield structure for each set of books.

   Define flexfield segment values and validation rules.

   Set up Oracle Workflow.

   Choose whether you want to use the default Account Generator process, or if you need to customize it to meet your accounting needs.

   Then do one of the following for each set of books:

• Choose to use the default Account Generator process.

• Customize the default Account Generator process, test your customizations, and choose the process for a flexfield structure, if necessary.
