Optimized Create Accounting Orchestration for Multi-Ledger Processing in Accounting Automation

Accounting Automation can optionally process accounting of transactions for multiple ledgers corresponding to a subledger application through a single process, minimizing the utilization of system resources.

On enabling this feature, the Create Accounting process invoked by Accounting Automation gets submitted in the context of a specific subledger application instead of being submitted in the context of a subledger application and ledger combination. This reduces the number of processes submitted to complete accounting for all the ledgers that are included as part of Accounting Automation scope. The accounting entries are also transferred directly to the General Ledger, without running the Post Subledger Journal Entries and Journal Import processes. This results in better management of system resources and improved efficiency.

The feature is enabled by default in all new Fusion Application implementations. In case of existing implementations, the feature can be opted-in, using the setup steps documented in the Steps to Enable section.

Business benefits include improved performance and better utilization of system resources.

Steps to Enable

The feature can be enabled in existing implementations using the following setup steps:

  1. Navigate to Setup and Maintenance.
  2. Search and navigate to Task: Manage Standard Lookups.
  3. Search for Lookup Type: ORA_ERP_CONTROLLED_CONFIG.
  4. Define a lookup code under the above lookup type with the following details -
    • Lookup Code: XLA_37258565
    • Enabled: <Checked>
    • Meaning: Enable Multiledger Accounting from Accounting Automation
  5. Save the changes.

Tips And Considerations

If this feature is enabled -

  • For any subledger applications that transfer journal entries outside of Fusion General Ledger, for example, to Oracle EBS GL or Oracle PeopleSoft GL, the corresponding journal sources will be automatically excluded from the scope because coexistence solutions are not supported with Accounting Automation.
  • Accounting entries are transferred directly to the General Ledger without submitting the Post Subledger Journal Entries and Journal Import processes. This is related to the existing 24A feature, however no additional steps are required to enable it when multi-ledger processing is enabled.
