Generate Account Using FlexBuilder Rules Process

This process contains the logic from FlexBuilder. The process contains a function that retrieves the necessary item attribute values (corresponding to raw parameters in FlexBuilder) and calls PL/SQL functions to create the code combination.

Warning: This process is provided for converting an existing FlexBuilder configuration only. You should not modify this process in any way, nor modify the PL/SQL functions. Oracle does not support modifications to this process. If you used FlexBuilder in Release 10 and now would like to add customizations to your Account Generator, you should do so by starting from the default Account Generator process.

Attention: If you used FlexBuilder in Release 10 but did not customize the default configuration, you do not need to use the Generate Account Using FlexBuilder Rules process, since the default Account Generator process gives you the same result as the default configuration in FlexBuilder.

To use the Generate Account Using FlexBuilder Rules process, you need to associate that process with the appropriate Accounting Flexfield structure in the Account Generator Processes window, explained in the next section.

A Note on Terminology

Raw parameters in FlexBuilder appear as attributes in the Account Generator. These "input" attributes are set when the Account Generator program is called.

Derived parameters in FlexBuilder appear either as attributes or function activities in the Account Generator.

A sequence of assignment rules in FlexBuilder corresponds to an Account Generator process.

The default Account Generator process for a particular Accounting Flexfield structure corresponds to seeded assignment rules in FlexBuilder.

Finally, a FlexBuilder function corresponds to an item type in the Account Generator.
