Security for Accounting Transformations in Accounting Hub

Accounting transformations require both function and data security privileges.

Oracle Accounting Hub security for accounting transformations includes:

• Setup task security

  • Security to register source systems into Accounting Hub.

  • Security to configure accounting rules to define accounting treatments for transactions.

• Transactional task security

  • Security to create subledger journal entries (manual subledger journal entries or those generated by the Create Accounting process).

  • Security to review and generate reports of subledger journal entry headers and lines.

Security to Perform Setup Tasks

Use the Define Accounting Transformation Configuration task in the Setup and Maintenance work area to integrate your external source system with the Accounting Hub.

To register your external source system and configure accounting rules, the setup user must be provisioned with a role that includes the following duty roles:

• Application Implementation Consultant

• Accounting Hub Integration

• In the security reference implementation, the Financial Application Administrator job role hierarchy includes the Accounting Hub Administration Duty role. This role provides the access to integrate your external source systems with accounting transformations.

Security to Perform Transactional Tasks

To import transaction data for accounting and posting in general ledger, the user must be provisioned with a job role that is associated with the Accounting Hub Integration duty role.

• The Import Subledger Accounting Transactions (XLA_IMPORT_SUBLEDGER_ACCOUNTING_TRANSACTIONS_PRIV) privilege is assigned to the Accounting Hub Integration duty role. This role enables the user to submit the Import Subledger Accounting Transactions process. This process also creates accounting entries and posts them in the general ledger.

To create and view subledger journal entries as an independent task, you must have the access necessary to perform the tasks. These tasks can be opened from the Oracle General Ledger, Journals work area. You must have access to the work area, as well as all of the ledgers (primary, secondary and reporting currency) in which the journal entry is posted.

The following are defined in the security reference implementation:

• The General Accounting Manager job role hierarchy includes duty roles that provide the entitlement to manage general accounting functions. This entitlement provides access to the general ledger, Journals work area.

The following duty role must be assigned directly to the General Accounting Manager job role to provide access to create and view subledger journal entries:

• Accounting Hub Integration Duty

Alternatively, you can assign the Subledger Accounting Duty and Subledger Accounting Reporting Duty roles to any of the following general ledger job roles:

• Chief Financial Officer

• Controller

• Financial Analyst

• General Accountant
