What is SLA?

Rule based engine for generating subledgeraccounting entries

Creates a true subledger for accounting entries

Allows multiple accounting representations for a

single event Common data model and interface for all subledgers

Not a product, but services within a product


4/41

Advantages of SLA

Centralized accounting rules

Predefined validations Date effective policies

Error handling

Audit trail

Bidirectional drilldowns

Detailed journal entries Online inquiries


5/41

SLA Transaction Flow


6/41

Inquiries

Drilldown from a transaction to event

Inquiry on GL account balances and drilldownto subledger transaction

Drill up from subledger to view accounting

information View information about the event/transaction

(ex- error)

View journal entry in T-account format

Subledger Accounting Output Example


10/41

Event Model

Definition of subledger transaction types andlifecycle

Event Class: accounting rule transactiontypes Examples: AP Invoice, Asset Depreciation,

AR ReceiptEvent Type: possible accounting action

definitions from transaction types

Examples: AP Invoice Validation, AssetDepreciation, AR Receipt Applied


11/41

COA - Transactional Transaction Chart of Accounts

Input to SLA rules

COA for the primary ledgerReferenced when transaction account

combinations are entered

Used to enter and maintain data required tosupport daily operations


12/41

COA - Accounting Accounting Chart of Accounts

Output to SLA rules

Creates account combinations from subledgerjournal entries

Derived from the ledger where journal entries

were createdAccount Derivation Rules derive accounts all

journal entries created by SLA are performed

13/41

Accounting Methods Builder (AMB)

Use to define how subledger transactions areaccounted

Allows for creation and modification of subledgerjournal line setups and application accounting

definitions

Definitions are grouped into subledger accountingmethods and assigned to a ledger


14/41

AMB Overview


15/41

AMB Steps Step 0: Define Mapping Sets (optional)

Step 1: Define Account Derivation Rules (ADR)

Step 2: Define Journal Line Types (JLT)

Step 3: Define Journal Entry Descriptions

Step 4:Define Journal Line Definitions (JLD) Step 5: Define Application Accounting Definition

(AAD)

Step 6: Define Subledger Accounting Method (SLAM)

Step 7: Assign SLAM to Ledger


16/41

AMB Overview - ADR


17/41

Account Derivation Rule (ADR)

Used to determine account combinations forsubledger journal entries

Can be derived by segment or entirecombination using: Account combination

Segment/qualifier value

Value from value set

Define how value will be derived:

Constant

Source Value

Mapping Set

Another Account Derivation Rule


18/41

ADR Setup Example


19/41

AMB Overview - JLT


20/41

Journal Line Types (JLT)

Defined for an event class

Assigned to journal line definition

Can be actual, budget, or encumbrancebalance types

Specify debit, credit, gain/loss line


21/41

JLT Setup Example


22/41

AMB Overview Journal Entry Descriptions


23/41

Journal Entry Descriptions

Controls the description of the journal entry orentry lines

Descriptions can be built from any availablesource for the application


24/41

Journal Entry Description Setup Example


25/41

AMB Overview JLD


26/41

Journal Line Definition (JLD)

Used to create sets of line assignments for anevent class or event type

Sets can be shared across applications

Journal line type, description, and accountderivation rules are grouped together as a

journal line definition


27/41

JLD Setup Example


28/41

AMB Overview AAD


29/41

Application Accounting Definition (AAD)

Used to assign journal line definitions andheader descriptions to event classes and event

types

Enables subledger accounting requirement ofmultiple accounting representations

Multiple subledgers can be grouped into asingle accounting method

Can import/export Application AccountingDefinitions (AAD) from a flat file


30/41

AAD Setup Example


31/41

AMB Overview SLAM


32/41

Subledger Accounting Method (SLAM)

Collection of accounting definitions for theapplications for which accounting will be

generatedExamples: Cash Basis, Accrual Basis,

Encumbrance Accrual or Cash, US Federal


33/41

SLAM Setup Example


34/41

Copy and Modify

Available for AMB componentsincluding:

SLAM, AAD, JLD, JLT, ADR, JE Descriptions

Reduced need to repeat data entry

functionsCan leverage Oracle defined componentsand create User components
