Setting up Account Mapping

Access the Referential Accounts by Account Revision form.

Account ID

A number that the system assigns to each general ledger account in the Account Master table (F0901) to uniquely identify it.

Business Unit

The field displays the alphanumeric code that identifies a separate entity within a business for which you want to track costs. For example, a business unit might be a warehouse location, job, project, work center, branch, or plant. You can assign a business unit to a document, entity, or person for purposes of responsibility reporting. For example, the system provides reports of open accounts payable and accounts receivable by business unit to track equipment by responsible department. Business unit security might prevent you from viewing information about business units for which you have no authority.

Object Account

Object Account is a portion of a general ledger account that refers to the division of the Cost Code (for example, labor, materials, and equipment) into subcategories. For example, you can divide the Cost Code for labor into regular time, premium time, and burden.

If you use a flexible chart of accounts and the object account is set to 6 digits, Oracle recommends that you use all 6 digits. For example, entering 000456 is not the same as entering 456 because if you enter 456 the system enters three blank spaces to fill a 6-digit object.

Subsidiary

Subsidiary account is a subset of an object account. Subsidiary accounts include detailed records of the accounting activity for an object account.

Description

A user defined name or remark.

Chart of Account Responsible

The system displays the code of the institution responsible for the referential chart of account.

Referential Account

Enter an account code for the referential chart of accounts as specified by Portuguese Government. This account code must be related to the company account.

Grouping Category

The system displays the code that indicates the account type.
