Entering Translator Program Information

To enter translator program information:

1. Choose a responsibility with access to General Accounting Engine menus.

2. Navigate to the Translator Program window (Program > Compile).

3. Press the Unfreeze button to uncheck the Frozen box if the box has a check mark in it.

4. If you want to change the accounting entry numbering for an event type, enter a different category in the Category field. An event type is an Oracle internal transaction type for the current application, Payables or Receivables. For a description of event types, see Event Types for Payables and Receivables.

5. Press the Freeze button. The translation program for the application and set of books is created. This program determines how your documents are numbered and grouped in journals.

Note: Unless you need to modify your journal assignments, do not unfreeze and refreeze your translation program after you have started to account for your transactions.

The Rule Name and Compilation Date fields are for display only. The Rule Name field displays the current loaded rules. The Compilation Date field shows the date that the translation program was last created.
