10.6.1 Mapping Segments

Depending on the CoA or accounting principles followed, AFCS predefined dimensions can be mapped with the list of CoA Segments.
To map the segments, complete the following steps:
  1. Navigate to Sub Ledger Application summary page.
  2. Click the My Profile icon on the top-right corner and select Administration. Select the CoA Mapping option from the LHS menu. The Subledger Chart of Account Map window is displayed.
  3. From the Available list, if CoA segment is not selected, it is considered as ML segment. Map this CoA segment with correct ERP Segment by choosing from the drop-down list for the CoA segments.

    Note:

    By default, the mandatory dimensions are CoA segments.
  4. Select the required CoA segments and click Save.

    Note:

    Upon CoA mapping save, all required connectors will be updated accordingly and automatically refreshed for the mappings.
  5. The segment extended as CoA from Segments Extension screen will be listed in CoA mapping screen and will be a mandatory dimension.
  6. The segment extended as ML from Segments Extension screen will be listed in CoA mapping screen as ML segment and will be disabled for modification.
  7. The mapping done here will be used to replace dimension columns mapped in OOTB inbound connectors and Decomposition connectors. Any change in the segment mapping done here will also modify the OOTB inbound connector mapping. The data is loaded based on this mapping into the tables of AFCS.

    Note:

    Specify the CoA segment as attributes in AFCS. For example, if you map the CoA Segment 1 to GL Code, all the extracts from AHCS with column header as CoA Segment 1 are loaded as GL Code in AFCS. The predefined dimensions with * must be mapped to some of the other CoA Segments to get values, as they are not null columns.
