Examples of Override Business Unit Account Segment Values

Use override business unit account segment values to specify the account segment values for a new business unit created by the copy business unit configuration process.

Determine the source and target values for your business units and use these two values for the same chart of accounts or for the same primary ledger.

The following scenarios illustrate the impact of using this option to:

  • Use the same values as the original business unit.

  • Select new values that are different from the original business unit.

The following table lists selected account values of the original business unit for both scenarios:
