How the Account Generator Compares to AutoAccounting

How the Account Generator Compares to Auto-Accounting

You can implement the Account Generator to create the same accounting transactions that are created using your AutoAccounting implementation. This section compares the Account Generator to AutoAccounting to help you understand and implement the Account Generator based on your knowledge of AutoAccounting.
A function in AutoAccounting is equivalent to an item type in Workflow.
A parameter in AutoAccounting is equivalent to an attribute in Workflow.
The definition and assignment of rules to segments in AutoAccounting are equivalent to a process in Workflow.

Assigning a Constant to a Segment

This section describes the steps required to assign a constant to a segment using the Account Generator.
Account Generator Functionality Similar Functionality in AutoAccounting

Assign a constant to a segment Assign a constant AutoAccounting rule to a segment


   To assign a constant value to a segment, you perform the following steps:

    1. Drag and drop the Assign Value to Segment function from the Standard Flexfield item type to your account generation process.
    2. Connect this function to prior and subsequent steps.
    3. Select Properties for this function.
    4. In the Comment field, you can optionally specify a comment to describe the action being performed in this step.
    5. Select the Attribute Values tab and enter the values for the four attributes.
    6. For the Value attribute, select Constant as the Value Type. Enter the constant under Value.
This function is used in Node 2 of the sample Account Generator process for Oracle Projects. See: Customization Example. For detailed information about this function, see Account Generator (Oracle Applications Flexfields Guide).

Assigning an Attribute Parameter to a Segment

This section describes the steps required to assign an attribute parameter to a segment using the Account Generator.
Account Generator Functionality Similar Functionality in AutoAccounting

Assign an attribute parameter to a segment Assign an AutoAccounting rule that uses a parameter, which becomes the segment value (a lookup set is not used)


   To assign an attribute to a segment, you perform the following steps:

    1. Drag and drop the Assign Value to Segment function from the Standard Flexfield item type to your account generation process.
    2. Connect this function to prior and subsequent steps.
    3. Select Properties for this function.
    4. In the Comment field, you can optionally specify a comment to describe the action being performed in this step.
    5. Select the Attribute Values tab.
    6. For the Value attribute, select Item Attribute as the Value Type. Then select the attribute whose value will be assigned to the segment.
For detailed information about this function, see Account Generator (Oracle Applications Flexfields Guide).

Assigning a Lookup Set Value to a Segment

Account Generator Functionality Similar Functionality in AutoAccounting

Assign a lookup set value to a segment Assign an AutoAccounting rule that passes a parameter to a lookup set to determine the segment value


Deriving a Segment Value via SQL Statements or If Conditions

Account Generator Functionality Similar Functionality in AutoAccounting

Derive a segment value via SQL statements or If conditions Use an AutoAccounting rule that derives the intermediate value or segment value via a SQL statement.

You typically use SQL statements for if/then logic. With the Account Generator, you can do this with either conditional nodes (used in Nodes 3, 4, 5, and 6 in the sample Account Generator process for Oracle Projects) or SQL functions (used in Nodes 7 and 8 in the sample Account Generator process for Oracle Projects). See: Customization Example.

SQL Functions

You must follow Workflow standards when writing SQL procedures for the Account Generator. The values of any attributes required can be retrieved within the procedure code using calls to the standard Workflow functions. The final value determined by the procedure is copied into one of the attributes. This value can be then assigned to a segment. SQL functions are illustrated in Nodes 7 and 8 in the sample Account Generator process for Oracle Projects. See: Customization Example.
