Terms and Definitions Used in Intercompany Accounting

Intercompany Journal
This is a journal entry which has transactions for at least
two different companies (or balancing segment values).

Intercompany Journal Out of Balance
An out of balance intercompany journal is one which does not have equal
credit and debit totals for each group of lines by company.

Balancing Segment
This is the accounting flexfield segment that has the balancing segment
qualifier assigned to it. Typically the balancing segment stores the company
values. However, it could represent the cost center, the department or some
other values.
The terms balancing segment and company segment are usually interchangeable.
It is mandatory that one segment of your accounting flexfield be designated
as the balancing segment.

Intercompany Segment
The intercompany segment is the accounting flexfield segment that has
the intercompany segment qualifier assigned to it. This qualifier is only
available in release 11i and is optional. This segment shares the same
value set as the balancing segment.

Clearing Account
A clearing account is a temporary account that holds amounts to be
transferred to another account.

Clearing Company
This is the company value used to clear payables or receivables transactions.
General Ledger uses this company to balance intercompany transactions.

Trading Partner
Trading partner is the company against which the line transaction is made.

Transaction Types
Transactions types are the classifications for journal entries based on
the number of companies involved in the credit and debit side
of the transaction.

The different transaction types are:

One to One: Two different companies in the journal. One company
has the net debit balance and the other has a net credit balance.

Many to One: Different companies have net debit balance and one
company has net credit balance.

One to Many: One Company has net debit balance and more than one
companies have net credit balance.

Many to Many: Two or more companies have net debit balance and
two or more companies have net credit balance.

RECURRING JOURNALS

RECURRING JOURNALS are the entries which are posted every period like monthly rent, utility bills etc..

22May/120

JOURNAL APPROVAL

Journal Approval feature is used to ensure that journal entries and batches are approved by appropriate management personnel before the journals can be posted to your account balances

22May/120

AUTO POST in GL

Auto Post is a process in GL that enables users to post Journal Entries automatically once they are created in GL.

22May/120

ROLL UP GROUPS IN GL

• Defining rollup groups allows a little more flexibility in your summary templates. Rollup groups provide a form of intermediate information and are a collection of parent values.

22May/120

SUMMARY ACCOUNTS IN GL

•SUMMARY ACCOUNTS –

–A summary account is an account whose balance is the sum of balances of multiple detail accounts. Summary accounts are used to perform online summary inquiries, as well as speed the processing of financial reports, Mass Allocations, and recurring journal formulas. Summary Templates are used to create summary accounts.

TRANSLATION IN GL

Translation is the process of translating account balances from your functional currency to another currency. This process translates balances only, it does not translate individual transactions.

22May/120

GL TERMINOLOGY

Below are few of the buzz words in GL and what they signify –

1.Ledger – A financial reporting entity that uses a particular chart of accounts, functional currency, and accounting calendar. Oracle General Ledger secures transaction information (journal entries, balances) by Ledgers. When you use Oracle General Ledger, you choose a responsibility that specifies a Ledger. You then see information for that Ledger only.

–Formerly called Set of Book in R11i. Ledger is an accounting book.

JOURNAL IMPORT

Accounting transactions are originated as a result of normal business activities in Financial and Manufacturing modules of Oracle Applications, as well as in external modules. In order to register those transactions into the
