Configure Import Submission Options for Journal Creation Spreadsheet

When you click Submit in the Create Journals spreadsheet to process the journals you created, a dialog box opens with various options. You can accept the default values, as shown in this image, or you can make other selections.

You can also change the default value for the Submission Option group and hide specific options. Here's how to make these changes.

How to Set Submission Option Default and Hide Options

The first step is to create a lookup type.

1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to the Manage Common Lookups task.

2. In the Search Results section, click the New icon.

3. Enter these values:

   Field	Value
   Lookup Type	GL_JE_PROCESSING_OPTIONS
   Meaning	Journal Processing Options
   Module	General Ledger
   Lookup Configuration Level	User
   REST Access Secured	Secure

4. Save the lookup type.

Now, to set the default value for the Submission Option group, create a lookup code.

1. In the Lookup Codes section, click the New icon.

2. Enter these values:

   Field	Value
   Lookup Code	FDI_DEFAULT_SUBMIT_OPTION
   Display Sequence	1
   Enabled	Selected

3. Now, enter the meaning and description from the table row that represents the value you want as the default.

   Meaning	Description
   DEFAULT_SAVE	Set the default submission option to Save to Interface
   DEFAULT_IMPORT	Set the default submission option to Submit Journal Import
   DEFAULT_IMPORT_POST	Set the default submission option to Submit Journal Import and Posting

   For example, to set the default submission option to Save to Interface, enter DEFAULT_SAVE for the meaning and Set the default submission option to Save to Interface for the description.

   Here's a partial image of the lookup code entry for this example.

   

4. Save your changes.

To hide specific options from the dialog box, create additional lookup codes.

1. In the Lookup Codes section, add and enable the lookup codes that correspond with the options you want to hide.

   Lookup Code	Display Sequence	Meaning	Description
   FDI_HIDE_SAVE_TO_INTERFACE	2	Hide Save to Interface	Hide Submission Option Save to Interface
   FDI_HIDE_SUBMIT_IMPORT	3	Hide Submit Import	Hide Submission Option Submit Journal Import
   FDI_HIDE_SUBMIT_IMPORT_POST	4	Hide Submit Import and Posting	Hide Submission Option Submit Journal Import and Posting
   FDI_HIDE_NO_IMPORT_DFF	5	Hide Do Not Import Descriptive Flexfields	Hide Import Descriptive Flexfields No option
   FDI_HIDE_IMPORT_DFF_NOVAL	6	Hide Import Descriptive Flexfields Without Validation	Hide Import Descriptive Flexfields Yes without validation option
   FDI_HIDE_IMPORT_DFF_WITHVAL	7	Hide Import Descriptive Flexfields with Validation	Hide Import Descriptive Flexfields Yes with validation option
   FDI_HIDE_DEFER_ACCT_VAL	8	Hide Defer Account Validations	Hide Other Options Defer Account Validations to Journal Import
   FDI_HIDE_SEND_EMAIL_ON_ERR	9	Hide Send Email on Error	Hide Other Options Send Email Notification for Journal Import Failures

2. Save your changes.

Caution:

Don't hide all of the options in the Submission Option group and in the Import Descriptive Flexfield group. At least one option must appear in each of these groups.
