Where the Account Generator Derives Segment Values
The Account Generator can derive segment values from form fields, other Accounting Flexfield combinations, flexfield segments, application tables, and constants.
Form Fields
These are usually predefined by the application.
Same Accounting Flexfield Structure
You can get values from individual segments of Accounting Flexfield combinations whose structure matches the one you are building. You can specify which segment supplies the value using either the segment name or its flexfield qualifier, if any. You can assign such segment values to your key flexfield structure directly.
For example, you can get a segment value from one combination of an Accounting Flexfield structure and use it to build another combination for the same Accounting Flexfield structure.
Other Accounting Flexfield Structures
You can get values from individual segments of Accounting Flexfield structures other than the one you are building. You can specify which segment supplies the value using either the segment name or its flexfield qualifier, if any.
Application Tables
You can get values from an application table.
Constants
You can specify a constant value for a segment of the key flexfield structure you want to build.
