Subledger Accounting-Specific Considerations for Segment Value Security
This section explains the purpose of Segment Value Security by Business Function and provides an overview of Subledger Accounting, including its activities, setup, transaction processing, and how data security is applied.
Oracle Subledgers such as Payables, Receivables, and so on. and Fusion Accounting Hub subledgers are used to capture transaction information which is then processed by the Subledger Accounting engine to generate detailed subledger accounting entries.
In general, Subledger Accounting activities include:
- Setup: Configuring subledger applications, accounting options, accounting rules, mapping sets and supporting references.
- Transaction: Fusion Accounting Hub transaction import, create accounting and posting to the General Ledger, manual adjustment entry, maintaining control balances and supporting reference balances.
- Inquiry and Reporting: Review subledger accounting entries and drill down to source transactions, reviewing reports such as the Subledger Period Close Exception report, Account Analysis report, OTBI reporting on Subledger Accounting Entries and Supporting Reference balances, and so on.
Subledger Accounting doesn’t deliver any job roles for Fusion Applications. Applications such as Payables. Receivables, and so on. which consume Subledger Accounting services grant access to accounting related activities for their application specific job roles by inheriting the duty roles provided by Subledger Accounting.
Accounting Hub users are required to define custom job roles and assign the appropriate duty roles as needed to perform accounting activities.
No data security is applied for the setup related activities; however, data security is applied on the Ledger and Journal Source LOVs for the Transaction, Inquiry and Reporting activities listed above. Data security is implemented through grants against the job roles which perform subledger transaction, inquiry and reporting activities. For example – Accounts Payable Supervisor requires access to account payables invoices, view accounting, review the subledger accounting entries created or create adjustment accounting entries for Payables journal source.
Here is a summary of how data security is applied on Subledger Accounting for General Ledger and Subledger Job Roles:
| Job Role | Default Data Security |
| General Ledger Job Roles (General Accounting Manager, Financial Specialist, and so on.) |
For the ledgers to which user has data access:

| Oracle Subledger Job Roles (Payables Supervisor, Receivables Specialist, and so on.) |
For the specific security context (i.e. Business Unit, Intercompany Organization, Asset Book, and so on.) to which user has data access:
