11.6.1 Mapping Segments

Depending on the CoA or accounting principles followed, AFCS 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 Segment Mapping option from the LHS menu.
  3. From the Select Ledger list, select the ledger for which you want to perform segment mapping. The dimensions that are extended are available for segment mapping.
  4. Click Modify and acknowledge confirmation message, if any.
  5. Choose the required dimension and map it to the segment from the drop-down list on the right.
  6. Repeat the previous step for all the dimensions you want to configure.
  7. Click Save. All required connectors will be updated accordingly and automatically refreshed for the mappings.
  8. The segment extended as CoA from Segments Extension screen will be listed in Segment mapping screen and will be mandatory if the dimension is chosen for the ledger.
  9. The segment extended as ML from Segments Extension screen will be listed in Segment mapping screen as ML segment and will be disabled for modification.
  10. The mapping done here will be used to replace dimension columns mapped in OOTB inbound 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.
