Understanding Distribution Ledgers for Financial Reporting

Standard financial reporting and statements are done using the Account Ledger table (F0911) and Account Balances table (F0902). The transactions distributed to the joint venture partners reside only in the Joint Venture Distribution Detail table (F09J12), and do not exist in the F0911 and F0902 tables. Therefore, to be able to report on the distributed transactions, at a minimum, the account balances records for the distributed transactions must exist in the F0902 table. To accomplish this, distribution ledger functionality has been provided in the Joint Venture Management system. This functionality converts the distributed transactions into records in the F0902 table and optionally in the F0911 table in specific ledgers called the distribution ledgers.

There are two types of distribution ledgers that you define. One contains only the distributed transactions for the managing business unit, the other contains summarized distributed transactions for the non-managing business units. Non-managing partners include outside partners and insider buisness units that are non-managing.

You can use the distribution ledgers to generate financial reports and statements using the standard JD Edwards EnterpriseOne reporting tools.
