The subledger provides the accounting backbone for Oracle Sales Compensation. With double-entry accounting, the subledger guarantees balance integrity.

Note: The subledger is currently self-contained within Oracle Sales Compensation. It does not post journal entries to the general ledger.

Like a general ledger, the subledger has different default account types, each from a salesperson's perspective, not a company perspective. Thus, Due is due to the salesperson and Payable is payable by the salesperson. The default subledger account types, names and purposes are explained in the following table.

Because Oracle Sales Compensation updates this account for you, the only way to change its balance is to run compensation calculation. If you need to change a salesperson's net balance, you can make an adjustment to one of the other revenue accounts or a liability account.
Bonus Earned* Record bonuses awarded to the salesperson.
Draw Nonrec Record advances paid to the salesperson that are not recovered against future earnings.
