source system.
Note: If the source system for actuals is not Oracle General Ledger, the
source systems for any additional data types cannot be Oracle General
Ledger.
Ledger
To create an operating entity with an Oracle General Ledger source system, you must
select a ledger in Oracle General Ledger from which to pull balances.
Balances Rule
To create an operating entity with an Oracle General Ledger source system, you must
select a Balances Rule to specify which balances are pulled from the ledger selected for
the entity.
If you specify additional data types, each additional data type can have a different
balances rule.
See: Setting Up Data Submission for Oracle Entities, page 14-4
Value Set Combination
To create an operating entity with a third party General Ledger source system, you
must select a value set combination based on the chart of accounts used in that source
system.
See: Task 4: Value Sets, page 5-8
If you specify additional data types, they will all use the same value set combination as
the one you specify for actuals.
Calendar Hierarchy
To create an operating entity with a third party General Ledger source system, you
must select a calendar hierarchy. The calendar hierarchy describes the periodicity of
data that you will load for the operating entity.
If you specify additional data types, they will all use the same calendar hierarchy as the
one you specify for actuals.
Functional Currency
To create an operating entity with a third party General Ledger source system, you
must select a functional currency for the entity. When you include an entity in a
hierarchy, it automatically defaults to this currency, but you can change the currency
within the hierarchy. The same defaulting behavior occurs for data submission.
