SLA Part 1 - Why SLA

User Rating: / 23

Poor Best RATE

In these article, we will explore the very basics of SLA and why it exists.

Firstly, what exactly does SLA do?

SLA is a module which now sits between the SubLedgers like AP/AR etc and the

General Ledger. Have a look at this diagram below. As you will notice, SLA can

act as a mediator between the subledgers and Oracle General Ledger.

Before we progress, some terminologies of R12 must be revisited. In 11i we had set of books, and in R12

we call them Ledgers. Likewise in R12 we also have secondary ledgers and reporting ledgers. Hence

from 11i perspective think of Ledger as Set of Books. As for Subledger, a Subledger is nothing but amodule like AP/AR/PO/Inventory etc.

In the diagram below, the second scenario is explained whereby let's say that payables module

generates a charge account segment combination for an invoice distribution line as A.B.C.D. In such

case, if SLA module is not customized, then the very same A.B.C.D combination will be passed to Oracle

General Ledger via the SLA. And before you wonder... Yes, SLA module has its own set of tables to

capture these accounting entries.

Please see the image below.

In the image above, SLA passes to GL whatever value is fed by the Subledger, in this case A.B.C.D

There are cases where SLA module can alter or massage the CCID or code combination that is

generated in Subledger before transferring the same to Oracle General Leger. This scenario is explained

whereby let's say that payables module generates a charge account segment combination for an invoice

distribution line as A.B.C.D. In such case, if SLA module is customized, then the A.B.C.D code

combination of Payables can be passed to Oracle General Ledger via the SLA as A.B1.C1.D instead.

The most important application however of the SLA is its ability to create shadow journals that contain

different values or differing credit/debit entries for the transactions. This is the main reason why SLA

module was invented/designed. Let us take an example. For company "Apps2Fusion UK", it might have

operations in France, which is "Apps2Fusion France". With UK being the parent company, the French

company has to do accounting journals in formats that can be reported as per French legislation and

also as per UK legislation. For example, in France an inventory item is accounted as expense, whereas

in UK the inventory item is accounted as an asset. In the example below, A.B.C.D is never passed to the

GL. Instead to GL A.B1.C1.D is passed to the Primary Ledger FRANCE and A2.B2.C.D is passed to the

Secondary Ledger UK. The picture below shows the role that SLA plays in such scenario.

Therefore in this article you have learnt the different usages of Subledger accounting.
