Changing default GL account
type
The standard Oracle process of defaulting GL account types
to "Expense".
If a user enters a new balance sheet account and description
and saves, the account is automatically saved with a valid but
incorrect account type. Incorrect account types
can cause a BUNCH of problems with year-end retained earnings processing,
budget uploads and OFA interfaces.
If the user does not specify a valid account type.
1) Sign on to the Application Developer responsibility:
a) Menu path Application->Validation->Quick Codes->Special
Use Find, select ACCOUNT_TYPE
Add a new account type "X" with a
description of "Invalid"
b) Menu path Flexfield->Key->Register
Use Find, specify Application of Oracle
General Ledger, hit Find button
Select Qualifiers button for Accounting
Flexfield Down
arrow to GL_Account, Change the default
value from Expense to "Invalid"
c) Menu path Application->Validation->Quick Codes->Special
Use Find, select ACCOUNT_TYPE
Disable the new account type "X"
2) For R10 installations (only), you must also connect
to SQL*Plus (as APPS) and create the following trigger.
Remember to update the value set ID specific
to your installation.
If your installation has multiple sets of
books, the when clause may need to include multiple ID's. the trigger should
be named according to client's standards.
This trigger is NOT required in R11 since the Value Set Maintenance form
generates an error if the account type quick
code is disabled.
