After logging into the application, ensure your user name has been granted a role “Application Implementation
Consultant role” since the fusion application is a role based application.
Just input your user name and password and sign in, after logging into the application, the following screen will
appears.
To begin implementing your enterprise structures, you must create a new implementation project by following the
steps below:
Go to Setup and Maintenance and the below screen will appear, there is a radio which is highlighted in red color
please click and view the next scree.
Upon above action, the following screen would appear wherein you have to create a project for your implementation.
Note: In Fusion Applications, Defining Project is the very first setup wherein all the modules to be implemented and
grouped under the project.
On the first screen of the creation flow, specify the implementation project’s basic information
1. On the second screen of the creation flow, mark the Include check box for the Financials offering.
Chart of Accounts:
All chart of accounts related tasks can be found under the Define Chart of Accounts parent task in the
following hierarchical task list:
- Define Common Applications Configuration for Financials
- Define Enterprise Structures for Financials
- Define Financial-Reporting Structures
- Define Chart of Accounts
In order to create and use your chart of accounts, follow the step-by-step diagram in Figure 1 to streamline your
implementation as much as possible.
1- Create your value sets. A value set can be shared by different charts of accounts, or across different segments
of the same chart of accounts.
2- Create your chart of accounts structure. In Fusion General Ledger, the chart of accounts model is framed
around the concept of a chart of accounts structure, under which one or more chart of accounts structure instances
can be created. A chart of accounts structure defines the key attributes for your chart of accounts, such as the
number of segments, the segment sequences, the segment names, segment prompts, segment labels (e.g. natural
account, primary balancing) and default value set. A chart of accounts structure can be shared across different chart
of accounts structure instances. In Fusion General Ledger, organizations may use up to 3 balancing segments in
their chart of accounts structures: primary balancing segment (required) second and third balancing segments
(optional).
Note: Chart of accounts structure needs at least two mandatory segments: (1) Balancing Segment (2) Natural
Account.
3- Create your chart of accounts structure instance. This is your chart of accounts that will be used and
exposed in user interfaces and processes. In what follows, we will refer to chart of accounts structure instance as
merely Chart of Accounts (COA). By default, a COA inherits all the attributes of the COA structure, meaning that all
instances of the same structure share a common shape, and have the very same segments and in the same order.
However, at the COA instance level, you may override the default value set assignments for your segments, and
assign a unique account hierarchy that determines the parent/child relationships between the value set values. At
the COA instance level, organizations can determine if they wish to allow dynamic insertion where new account
combinations can be dynamically generated instead of having to be pre-created.
4- Create your value set values, both detail and parent values, for each of your COA segments.
Value Sets:
To create a new value set, or maintain existing value sets, navigate to the Manage Chart of Accounts Value
Sets task from within your implementation project, and then click the Go to Task icon. This task can be found in
the following hierarchy:
1- Click the Define Chart of Accounts; you will be redirected to the Manage Chart of Accounts Value sets
2- Hit on ‘Define Financial Reporting Structure’
2- Click the Create icon on the toolbar of the Search Results table. You will be redirected to the Create Key Flex field
Structure page.
3- Specify a unique Structure Code and Name, and provide an optional Description.
4- Specify a Delimiter that will be used to visually separate your segment values.
5- Click the Save button to save your COA structure definition and begin defining the constituting segments.
6- To create a new segment, click the Create icon on the toolbar of the Search Results table. You will be redirected to
the Create Key Flex field Segment page.
a. Specify all the required parameters and assign your segment a Default Value Set Code. Choose an optional Segment
Label (also known as segment qualifier in R12) for your segment to indicate its purpose within your chart of accounts. Note that
only 2 segment labels are required for your COA structure: primary balancing segment and natural account segment. These labels
may not be shared with each other or with any other label for the same segment.
b. Click Save and Close to save your segment definition and define additional segments for your COA structure.
7- After defining all of your COA structure segments, click Save and Close to navigate back to the COA structures landing page.
8- Repeat the aforementioned steps for every COA structure you would like to define.
Chart of account is called accounting flex field and is used for financial reporting of a organization. In chart
of account, you have to define your segment. Segments are different dimensions of a Business. They
capture the different element of a business for financial reporting purpose. For example Company,
Accounts, cost center, Product line etc. capture the financial position of a company with different reporting
tools.
In each segment of Chart of Account, you have to mention two important things- Segment level and Value
set code.
Segment level is a qualifier for a segment .This qualifier will tell how the segment will be used while
creating a financial report. For example if the segment is enabled as a primary balancing segment -then for
each and every journal and accounting the segment values should be balanced.
Balanced means the debit and credit amount should be same for this segment.
You can notice here that-for each segment we are also assigning a unique value set code. Value set codes
contents values for each segment.
Now question is if we have decided our segments and value set code at COA Structure level what is the use
of Chart of Account structure instance, let us understand carefully .
To create a new COA, or maintain existing COAs, navigate to the Manage Chart of Accounts task from within
your implementation project, and then click the Go to Task icon. This task can be found in the following
hierarchy:
1- You will be landing on the Manage Key Flex fields page, and the General Ledger Accounting
Flex field will be defaulted in the Search Results table. Click the Manage Structure
Instances button on the toolbar to begin defining your chart of accounts. You will get redirected to
the Manage Key Flex field Structure Instances page.
4- Indicate whether you want Fusion Financials pages and processes to dynamically create account
combinations, by marking the Dynamic combination creation allowed check box.
5- Associate your COA with a Structure Name. By default, a COA inherits the key attributes of the COA
structure, but some attributes – such as the value set for the segments – may be modified individually.
6- Click the Save button to save your COA definition and begin modifying the constituting segments.
7- To modify a COA segment, select its corresponding row from the Segment Instances table, and then
click the Edit icon
Note – Make sure that both the required and displayed check boxes are both marked. For segments
intended for future use, also make sure to mark those attributes; we recommend that you define one
segment value for your future segments and set it as a default value. This ensures that the extra segment is
populated when an account combination is used.
8- After reviewing all of your COA segments, click Save and Close to navigate back to the chart of
accounts landing page. Alternatively, you may proceed directly with creating your value set values by drilling
on the corresponding Value Set Code hyperlinks in the Segment Instances table. Creating value set
values is covered in detail in the following section.
If you click on edit segment, you can see one very important screen below.
Once the Accounting Flex filed has been deployed, please, ensure the status appeared in green color.
2- Select your value set from the Search Results table, and click the Manage Values button. You will get
redirected to the Manage Values page.
Enter required information in search criteria and hit on search.
You will then get the following screen.
Place the cursor on desired ‘Value set’ and hit on ‘Manage Values’ button.
5- Specify an optional Start Date and End Date to determine the accounting time frame in which this specific
segment value may be used.
6- Specify the value attributes, such as Summary (indicating whether the value is a parent or detail value), Allow
Posting, Allow Budgeting; and additionally for natural account segment values, specify the following
fields: Account Type, Third Party Control Account, Reconcile and Financial Category.
Note – You cannot specify the parent/child relationship for your segment values on this screen. You need to do this
step through account hierarchies, and this will be detailed in the next section.
7- Click the Save and Close button to save your segment value and navigate back to the Manage Values page.
8- Repeat Steps 3 to 7 to define additional segment values for the selected value set.
Pause the cursor on ‘Account’ value set and Hit on Manage values.
3- Specify a Start Date for your accounting calendar to determine the first day of the earliest accounting period
associated with this calendar. Once you save your calendar, the Start Date can no longer be modified.
Note – In Fusion General Ledger, we currently do not allow to create a calendar year with a fewer number of periods
than what the period frequency dictates. Therefore, we recommend that you add a full extra year in your accounting
calendar before the first opened period of any ledger using this calendar. For example, if you plan to start transacting
in Jan-11, and intend to run translation for that same Jan-11 period, start your calendar in Jan-10 (2010 calendar
year), add the 2011 year to your calendar, and then assign this calendar to your ledger with Jan-11 as the first
opened period.
4- Specify the Period Frequency for your accounting calendar. In Fusion General Ledger, we have streamlined the
creation of accounting calendars by allowing organizations to choose from frequently used period frequencies, such
as Monthly, 4-4-5, Weekly, etc. If any of those popular calendar types are chosen, the system will automatically
generate all the period details for the first calendar year, and subsequently for every additional year you add. If your
organization uses an irregular or uncommon type of calendar that does not fit any of the seeded frequencies, then
you must choose a period frequency of Other, specify the Number of Standard Periods and then manually define
the period details.
5- Specify the Adjusting Period Frequency to determine the number and frequency of the adjusting periods. Again
here, the system allows you to choose from popular adjusting period frequencies, such as Once at year end, Once at
beginning of the year and once at end of the year, etc. If you have other requirements for your adjusting periods,
then you must choose an adjusting period frequency of Other, specify the Number of Adjusting Periods and then
manually provide the details for those adjusting periods.
a. Specify an optional User-Defined Prefix to use in the generation of the period names.
b. Specify a Separator to separate the period number from the year number when generating
the period names.
c. Choose a Format for your period names. For the calendar year format, the system appends
the year of the start date of the period when generating the period name. For the fiscal
year format, the system appends the year associated with the period regardless of its
date range, to the period name.
8- Review the period details for your accounting calendar, and make modifications as necessary. Note that when
making any changes, you must abide by the following basic validation rules:
a. The period name must be unique.
b. The standard (non-adjusting) periods must have non-overlapping date ranges.
c. An adjusting period date range must overlap with that of a standard period.
9- Click the Save and Close button to save your accounting calendar and navigate back to the Manage
Accounting Calendars page. The system will make all the necessary validations before committing your changes.
10- To add a year to an existing accounting calendar, click the Edit icon to update your accounting calendar, and
then click the Add Year button from the Period Details table. If the accounting calendar has already been
associated with one or more ledgers, then adding a year to the calendar will update all balances cubes using this
calendar, with the periods of the newly-added year.
Hit on ‘Define Calendars’ and again hit on ‘Go to Task’ against it.
3- To provide more details, you must click the Expand icon on the leftmost edge of the row. Having done that, you
can specify other fields such as the Issuing Territory, Symbol, Precision and Minimum Accountable Unit.
To update an existing currency, search for it from the Search region and make the necessary changes to it from
the Search Results table
Income Tax Jurisdiction is another type of jurisdiction, which imposes taxes on financial income generated by all
entities within their jurisdiction. This is being created to properly report and remit income taxes to the legal authority.
We can only define once jurisdiction with Company Registration for each territory. Hence, I am choosing it
someone already defined.
1- Click on the Define Legal Entities for Financials task list. Since a legal reporting unit is defined in the context
of a legal entity, you will be prompted to set a scope value for your legal entity. To create a new legal entity, click the
Create New button in the Scope Selection window.
Manage Legal Entity
Choose ‘Create New’ from list of values of Legal Entity and hit on ‘Apply and Go to Task.
2- You will be redirected to the Create Legal Entity page where you can specify the basic attributes for your legal
entity, including the Country, unique Name, Legal Entity Identifier, Legal Address and any other required localized
fields.
3- Click the Save and Close button to navigate back to the legal entities task list.
6- Other optional tasks at the legal entity level are the Manage Intercompany Exceptions, Manage Legal Entity
Financial Information and Manage Legal Entity Tax Profiles tasks. All these tasks can be launched by clicking on the
respective Go to Task icon.
When a legal entity is created, a legal reporting unit with the same name as that of the entity is also automatically
created.
Accounting Configuration
In order to create and finalize your accounting configurations, you need to define your legal entities, create your
ledgers and open the first periods for your ledgers. Optionally, you can define and maintain your general ledger
options and period close components to customize your accounting configurations setup.
1- Since every accounting configuration can uniquely be identified by its primary ledger, you will be prompted to set a
scope value for your primary ledger. To create a new primary ledger, click the Create New button in the Scope
Selection window.
2- You will be redirected to the Create Primary Ledger page where you can specify the basic attributes for your
ledger, including the Name (must be unique), Description, Chart of Accounts, Accounting Calendar, Currency and
Accounting Method. The accounting method determines the rules for recording transactions from subledgers through
the Subledger Accounting engine.
3- Click the Save and Edit Task List button to navigate back to the accounting configuration task list. Keep in mind
that you cannot change the chart of accounts, accounting calendar or currency for your ledger after you save your
ledger.
4- Click the Select and Add button to select the primary ledger that you just created and set the scope for the
remainder of your accounting configuration setup. Search for and select your ledger from the Manage Primary
Ledgers secondary window, and hit the Save and Close button. This will set the scope for your task list to the
selected primary ledger, as indicated in the Primary Ledger choice list above the Tasks and Task Lists table

In Oracle Fusion, storage facilities, warehouses, and distribution centers are implemented as inventory organizations.
• Managed by a business unit, with the materials management business function enabled.
• Mapped to a legal entity and a primary ledger.
• Manufacturing facilities
• Storage facilities
Storage and manufacturing facilities are related to other organizational entities through a business unit that stores,
manufactures, and distributes goods through many factories, warehouses, and distribution centers. The material
parameters are set for both the facilities, enabling movement of material in the organization. This business unit has
the business function of Materials Management enabled. Oracle Fusion Applications allow many inventory
organizations to be assigned to one business unit.
The inventory is tracked in the inventory organization owned by the legal entity of which the business unit is part. All
transactions are accounted for in the primary ledger of the legal entity that owns the inventory .
Facility schedules allow creating workday calendars for inventory organizations that are used in the Oracle Fusion
Supply Chain Management product family. For example, use workday calendars in the scheduling of cycle counts
and calculating transit time.
An item organization defines an item when inventory balances are not stored and inventory storage or inventory
movement is not reflected in the Oracle Fusion Applications. For example, you would use an item organization in a
retail scenario, if you need to know the items that are listed by and sold through each retail outlet even though
inventory and transactions are recorded in another system. In Oracle Fusion Customer Relationship Management
(CRM), item organizations are used to define sales catalogs.
Note: In fusion application, option for defining inventory accounts is not seen anywhere over the Inventory
Organization page. All default accounting setup is done through subledger mapping set in sub ledger accounting.
Choose the inventory organization under which the Sub inventory should exist.
