Determine Characteristics of Combination
Start by determining the characteristics of the Accounting Flexfield combination you want to obtain as your result. Then work backwards from your resulting Accounting Flexfield combination to determine what values you need and how to obtain them.
What is the purpose of this combination? For example:
- Oracle Order Entry transfers this combination to Oracle Inventory, via the Inventory Interface program, for use in cost of goods sold (COGS) analyses.
- Oracle Assets uses this combination to create journal entries for asset transactions.
- Oracle Purchasing uses this combination to specify accounts for individual distributions for purchase orders and requisitions.
What are the properties of this combination? For example:
- This is an Accounting Flexfield combination with particular characteristics, such as a particular type of value for the balancing segment or the account segment.
- Your resulting combination is "just like that other combination but with a different value for the second segment".
- Each segment has some prescribed value.
