Ledger Types

You must specify one or more ledger types for a column definition. You can enter a single ledger type for the column on the Revise Column Definitions form. Alternatively, you can include one or more ledger types in the data selection for the column definition. Oracle recommends that you specify the ledger type using data selection only when you need to specify multiple ledger types.

Note: The system does not prevent you from selecting the ledger types in both the Revise Column Definitions form and in data selection, but Oracle recommends that you not set up the ledger type in both locations.

The system issues an error message if you attempt to save a column definition for which no ledger type is specified on either the Revise Column Definition form or in data selection.

Note: If you leave the Ledger Type field on the Revise Column Definitions form blank when you create a column definition, then you must associate data selection for the ledger type before you can save the record. After you complete the other fields on the Revise Column Definitions form, click the Data Selection menu option, select the data items to include in the data selection, including the ledger type, and then click Save on the Query Manager tab. Close the Revise Column Data Selection form, and then click OK on the Revise Column Definition form to save the record. See Adding Data Selection to Column Definitions (Optional).
