Compiling the Global Accounting Engine Program

The window shown in the print manual is correct. This updated section replaces the existing text in the print manual and online help:

Assigning Event Categories

Use the Translator Program window to assign your events to categories so that Global Accounting Engine can number and group accounting entries. The accounting entries in your main set of books are posted to the posting set of books in General Ledger. You can reassign your sequences. Your settings in the Setup Subledgers window do not change.

To enter translator program information:

1. Choose a Global Accounting Engine subledger responsibility.

2. Navigate to the Translator Program window (Setup > Event Categories).

3. Unfreeze the setup 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. You cannot use a category name that contains a single quote or period. An event type is an Oracle internal transaction type for the current application, Payables or Receivables. For a description of event types, see the event type table on the next page.

5. Freeze the setup. 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 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.
