One-Time Configuration Setup
Certain one-time configuration settings must be coordinated manually to make sure of the proper flow of data between the two applications.
General Ledger Configuration
Oracle Utilities Work and Asset Management for General Ledger and Accounts Payable is the source of truth for all General Ledger information. Oracle Utilities Work and Asset Cloud Service is considered to be the sub-ledger. It is assumed that the General Ledger has already been configured to accommodate your business needs.
Distribution Codes
Oracle Utilities Work and Asset Cloud Service uses distribution codes to map sub-ledger transactions to the General Ledger accounts. As part of the Oracle Utilities Work and Asset Cloud Service set up, it is assumed that the distribution codes are properly mapped to the Oracle Utilities Work and Asset Management General Ledger chart of accounts.
Chart of Accounts
Oracle ERP Financial Cloud uses Chart of Accounts for tracking financial transactions. Each Chart of Accounts consists of a series of accounting segment strings. Financial transactions can be charged against these strings.
The Chart of Accounts Synchronization Process should be ran for initial load so the Chart of Accounts segments from Oracle ERP Financial Cloud are sent to Oracle Utilities Work and Asset Cloud Service, and the Cost Center and Expense Code used in Oracle Utilities Work and Asset Cloud Service can be derived from the segments. Transactions from other Oracle Utilities Work and Asset Cloud Service integration flows can then reference these Chart of Accounts.
Note: Chart of Accounts Synchronization Process for incremental sync should also be setup and run to get the updates for Chart of Accounts in Oracle ERP Financial Cloud, if any.
