Introduction to Sub Ledger AccountingSLA is a powerful
accounting engine or program with centralized data model and
repository, which generates accounting entries for the transactions
entered in the sub ledger modules. SLA is a service and not a
separate module or application. SLA forms and programs can be
accessed through standard Oracle Apps Responsibilities. SLA allows
multiple accounting representations for a single transaction
thereby enabling compliance with multiple geographic, regulatory or
business requirements. SLA also facilitates multi period
accounting.

Introduction to Sub Ledger AccountingStandardizes Accounting
across the Subledgers. Streamlines Reconciliation resulting in
faster Period End process. Supports Shared Service Centers. An
existing accounting definition in SLA can be copied and modified as
per requirement. Expensive customizations can be avoided with the
flexibility in accounting system. Single step posting to all
ledgers at a time. Real time / online accounting. Audit Trail.

module can not be accessed from any other module. Seeded Subledger
Accounting Methods can not be modified. Any change made to a
Subledger accounting setup must be validated in order to make sure
that the changes are logical.
