32 Working with E-Business Suite General Ledger Applications

You use Oracle Enterprise Data Management Cloud to manage charts of accounts segment values for value sets in Oracle E-Business Suite General Ledger. Users create new segment values, edit their properties, and maintain hierarchies using Oracle Enterprise Data Management Cloud.

This information can be:

  1. Exported from E-Business Suite General Ledger

    Imported into Oracle Enterprise Data Management Cloud

  2. Managed in Oracle Enterprise Data Management Cloud

  3. Exported from Oracle Enterprise Data Management Cloud

  4. Imported into E-Business Suite General Ledger

The following types of General Ledger data can be managed in Oracle Enterprise Data Management Cloud:

  • Charts of accounts segment values

  • Segment value properties

    Caution:

    If you modify the predefined properties that get created by the registration system, do not use property inheritance or positional logic for deriving property values. See Predefined Properties for E-Business Suite General Ledger Applications.

  • Hierarchy relationships of segment values

  • Global and context-sensitive descriptive flexfields

Note:

This integration between Oracle Enterprise Data Management Cloud and E-Business Suite General Ledger is available for E-Business Suite General Ledger Release 12.1.3 or higher.

Managing data for E-Business Suite General Ledger in Oracle Enterprise Data Management Cloud involves:

You register E-Business Suite General Ledger applications by using a wizard that prompts you for information, such as active language and segment information.


diagram of data chain objects for EBSGL

When you register an E-Business Suite General Ledger application, these data chain objects are created for that application in Oracle Enterprise Data Management Cloud:

  • Default view—enables you to manage all of the data chain objects for the application. See Understanding Views.

  • For every segment value set in your application, these data chain objects are created:

    • Dimension—provide a way to categorize data values. See Understanding Dimensions.
    • Viewpoint—provides a subset of nodes for you to work with. The viewpoint points to the node set. See About Viewpoints.
    • List-type node set—defines the group of nodes available in a viewpoint. For segment value sets, a list node set is created that contains all of the available nodes without any hierarchical data. See Working with Node Sets.
    • Node type— displays a collection of an application's nodes that share a common business purpose. The node type has all of the application-specific properties. See Working with Node Types.

After you register an application, you can import data into the dimensions to populate the nodes, properties and hierarchy sets. Optionally, you can modify the registration. When you are done working on the data set, you can export the dimension back to the external application.

Note:

When the dimensions and data chain objects are created in Oracle Enterprise Data Management Cloud, they are bound to the segments and value sets in the E-Business Suite General Ledger application. These bindings ensure that the registered data chain objects conform to the external application requirements, and they prevent users from making changes that would prevent an application's data from being imported or exported. See Understanding Binding Rules.
