Make the Key Flexfield Segments of Chart of Accounts BI-Enabled

Be sure you enable key flexfield segments for Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence before using Oracle Fusion ERP Analytics and the provided subject areas.

Perform this procedure in Oracle Cloud ERP.
  1. Sign in to Oracle Cloud ERP.
  2. Navigate to My Enterprise, click Setup and Maintenance, and in the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to the following:
    • Offering: Financials
    • Functional Area: Financial Reporting Structures
    • Task: Manage Chart of Accounts Structure Instances
  3. In Manage Chart of Accounts Structure Instances, select General Ledger in Module, and click Search.

  7. On the Edit Key Flexfield Structure Instance page, in Segment Instances, select each end segment, click the edit icon, and in the Edit Key Flexfield Segment Instance dialog, ensure that the BI enabled check box is selected.

Create Segment Labels for Desired Segments and Map them to BI Object Names

Be sure you create segment labels and map them to BI Objects before using Oracle Fusion ERP Analytics and the provided subject areas.

Populate the BI Object name for each of the segment labels that you plan to leverage with Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence (OTBI) for reporting and analysis.

For the following segment labels, populate the BI Object Name as follows:

Segment Label BI Object Name
FA_COST_CTR Dim - Cost Center
GL_BALANCING Dim - Balancing Segment
GL_ACCOUNT Dim - Natural Account Segment

For all other non-qualified segment labels that you want to leverage within Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence, populate the BI Object name with one of the following:

  • Dim - GL Segment1
  • Dim - GL Segment2
  • Dim - GL Segment3
  • Dim - GL Segment4
  • Dim - GL Segment5
  • Dim - GL Segment6
  • Dim - GL Segment7
  • Dim - GL Segment8
  • Dim - GL Segment9
  • Dim - GL Segment10

BI Object name mapping is available for 3 qualifying segments and up to 10 non qualifying segments. Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence can support maximum of 13 GL segments respectively.

Note:

You aren’t allowed to assign a BI Object name to the predefined segment labels. You must create a new segment label and assign the BI Object name to it. It's mandatory to use Cost Center, Natural Account, and Balancing Segment Labels. Chart of Account should have these labels assigned to one of the Segments. Ensure that Segment Labels are a single word without any spaces.

Follow these guidelines to create a segment label:
  • Use only characters in the following range: a to z, A to Z, 0 to 9 or _ (underscore).
  • Don't start the code with a numeric digit.
  • Don't exceed the total length of the code over 21 characters.

If you’re using the Intercompany Segment and want to use it for reporting, then you must create a label as you can’t use the existing GL_INTERCOMPANY because it's read only. You must create a segment label and assign the BI Object name to it.

Set Up Exchange Rates for Analytics Currency

You need to set up exchange rates for analytics currency to ensure the Oracle Cloud ERP data in Oracle Fusion ERP Analytics is accurate.

In the Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence reporting configuration, functional administrators can specify an Exchange rate type that Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence uses to convert from Ledger currency to Analytic currency. Before specifying the Exchange rate type, ensure that the exchange rates are defined in Oracle Cloud ERP for this rate type to ensure that the Analytic currency amounts are calculated correctly. The prebuilt workbooks and dashboards use the analytic currency amounts, so you need to preform this setup first. See

Force Deploy Extensible Flexfields

You need to deploy extensible flexfields for Oracle Cloud ERP to work properly with Oracle Fusion ERP Analytics.

  1. Sign in to Oracle Cloud ERP.
  2. Run Refresh and Deploy Offline from the Manage Extensible Flexfields taskflow for EGO_ITEM_EFF.
  3. From Scheduled Processes, run the Import Oracle Fusion Data Extensions for Transactional Business Intelligence job to sync up Oracle Metadata Services with Oracle BI Cloud Service.
