Binding Rules for E-Business Suite General Ledger Applications

Binding rules ensure that an Oracle E-Business Suite General Ledger application in Oracle Enterprise Data Management Cloud conforms to the requirements of the external application. The following table describes the binding rules for E-Business Suite General Ledger.

Object Rule
Node Type You cannot remove any required binding properties from a bound node type.
Hierarchy Set

You cannot edit the node type in bound hierarchy sets.

Node Set

For bound node sets:

  • You cannot edit the node type in bound node sets.
  • For hierarchy node sets (hierarchies), you must select a hierarchy set that passes its own binding rules and any binding rules up the data chain.
Viewpoint For bound viewpoints, you must select a node set that passes its own binding rules and any binding rules up the data chain.
  • For list node sets (value sets), the node types are also checked.
  • For hierarchy node sets (hierarchies), the hierarchy set is checked and then the node types are checked.
Dimension/Segment (Value Sets) When you edit a viewpoint that is bound to a dimension, you can select a different viewpoint for the binding. The new viewpoint and all of the associated data objects in the data chain are checked for binding rules.
