Security Definitions

Secure your setup and definitions by granting specific


privileges to users
You can control which users can:
View a definition, but not modify or execute it
Execute a definition without modifying it

Example: Since MassAllocations and Financial


Statement Generator components are sharable across
ledgers that have the same chart of accounts, you can
secure these definitions so that some
users cannot view or modify the definitions
created by other users.

Foreign Currency Concepts

Three key concepts in Oracle General Ledger that pertain


to foreign currency:
Conversion

Revaluation

Translation

1 - 119

Copyright 2007, Oracle. All rights reserved.

Conversion

Oracle General Ledger converts journal amounts entered


in a foreign currency to functional currency equivalents
using daily conversion rates.

Conversion Example

CONVERT 1 Euro = .8 US Dollars


DR. Accounts Receivable. 8,000 US$
CR.

Revenue... 8,000 US$


Functional currency

1 - 121

Copyright 2007, Oracle. All rights reserved.

Revaluation

Revalue account balances to reflect the change in the


foreign currency rate from the date a transaction is entered
and the reporting date.
Original U.S. Receivable
1000 Euro
550 U.S. Dollars

Paris

Revalued U.S. Receivable

Convert 1 Euro = .8 US Dollars


DR. Accounts Receivable. 8,000 US$

Define one mapping and apply it repeatedly to multiple

Mapping Rules

You can define


segment rules,
account rules or a
combination of both

For segment rules, define a


segment rule action for
each segment in the
parent's chart of accounts,
but you cannot define
more than one action

1 - 147

Account rules override


segment rules, if there is
a conflict. When this
happens:
Use segment rules to
define the default
mapping.
Use account rules to
define exceptions.
