Subledger Account Analysis Report using parameter 'Journal Entry Source' in Release 12

1. Parameter 'Journal Entry Source' (parameter code p_application_id) in Subledger
Account Analysis Report by default is display disabled.
2. Enable the display of this parameter from System Administrator Responsibility and submit the
report from a Subledger or General Ledger responsibility.
3. If no source is provided or the parameter is not enabled the report by default would run for
all sources for the given account range as per the standard behavior of Account Analysis Report.

If the parameter is not available:
1.Download and review the readme and pre-requisites for Patch.9668652:R12.XLA.B
2.Ensure that you have taken a backup of your system before applying the recommended patch.
3.Apply the patch in a test environment.
4.Confirm the following file versions:
xlapatch/115/import/USxla120cp.ldt120.131.12010000.40
xlapatch/115/publisher/defsXLAAARPT.xml120.29.12010000.13

xlapatch/115/sqlxlarpaan.pkh120.12.12010000.6
You can use the commands like the following: strings -a $XX_TOP/filename |grep '$Header'
5.Retest the issue.
6.Migrate the solution as appropriate to other environment

How To Transfer Reconciliation References From FA Subledger To GL

Navigation: Setup > Financials > Subledger Accounting > Accounting Methods Builder > Journal Entry Setups > Journal Line Types

1. Query a seeded Journal Line Type and copy it by clicking on the Copy button at the bottom left of the form

2. Give your Journal Line Type code, name, and description a meaningful name.

3. Click on the Accounting Attribute Assignments button at the bottom right of the form

4. Pick a source for the Reconciliation Reference

5. Save.

Navigation: Setup > Financials > Subledger Accounting > Accounting Methods Builder > Methods and Definitions > Journal Line Definitions

6. Link the Journal Line Type just created to the Journal Line Definition. Copy a seeded one and create your own if needed.

7. Assuming that the JLD is already linked to the Application Accounting Definition, validate the Application Accounting Definition either in the form or via the concurrent program 'Validate Application Accounting Definitions'.
Assuming also that the Application Accounting Definition is already linked to the Subledger Accounting Method which in turn is already linked with the ledger, Create Accounting can now be run.

8. Once Create Accounting, Journal Import and the Post program in GL have completed, one can reconcile either manually or run Automatic reconciliation in GL.

Setup Steps to Enable GL Reconciliation from Subledgers in Oracle R12

1] Customize the complete Subledger Accounting (SLA), reconciliation reference is enabled as a part of Journal Line Type.

2] For the Custom SLA ensure that the Journal Line Type for the corresponding line for the corresponding subledger is set to 'Detail'. Navigation: Setup : Accounting Setups : Subledger Accounting Setup : Accounting Methods Builder : Journal Entry Setups

3] Enable 'Reconciliation Reference' for this particular line by selecting something in the 'Source' field LOV, click on 'Accounting Attribute Assignments' in the Journal Line Type form. Note that such changes can not be made in Standard (Seeded) SLA setups, hence a completely customized SLA is required to enable reconciliation references

4] Ensure that the customized SLA is attached to the concerned Ledger as well. this can be done using Accounting Setup Manager (ASM). Navigation: Setup : Financials : Accounting Setup Manager

5] Ensure that reconciliation is enabled for the ledger as well, this can be done using Accounting Setup Manager (ASM). Navigation: Setup : Financials : Accounting Setup Manager

6] Ensure that the code combination which is used in Subledger and transferred to General Ledger as a part of Create Accounting process is enabled for Reconciliation. This can be done at Setup > Accounts > Combinations form, there is a new field in this form in R12 called as 'Reconcile'. This should be enabled for the required code combination. If this is enabled then only journal import imports the reconciliation references.

To to automatically propagate the Reconciliation Flag of a segment value to all account code combinations which contain that segment value Program - Inherit Segment Value Attributes needs to be run.
