How You Configure Social Objects
Before you can start using a social object, for example, accounting period, journal, or intercompany transaction in Oracle Social Network, configure the social object using the Manage Oracle Social Network Objects task on the Setup and Maintenance task list page.
The configuration consists of enabling the social object and its attributes for use on the Oracle Social Network. For example, for the accounting period social object, enable these attributes: Ledger, Period Name, Period Start Date, and Period End Date. You also configure the enablement method of the social object. The methods are: No, Manual, and Automatic.
The configuration applies to all instances of that social object in the application and to all ledgers. You can automatically create a conversation by setting the option in the Managing Oracle Social Network Objects user interface.
