GOAL

You want to define a new ledger in Fusion General Ledger. How is this done?

SOLUTION

The creation of a ledger can be done via the Setup screens or via Rapid Implementation template.
Both options can be accessed via the Setup and Maintenance UI.
a. Rapid Implementation (RI):
Setup and Maintenance > Define Enterprise Structures Configuration for Rapid Implementation > Create Chart of Accounts,
Ledger, Legal Entities and Business Units in Spreadsheet
The Excel template 'Rapid Implementation for General Ledger' is used to rapidly implement the following enterprise structure
common setups objects: chart of accounts, hierarchies, legal entities, accounting calendar, primary ledgers, business units, and
rules of generating sequential IDs for transactions recorded in the system, as well as select setup objects along with their
accounting specifications for the various modules of Oracle Fusion Financials.
Follow the instructions in the Instructions tab of the template for additional details.
Note 1902445.1 Rapid Implementation Troubleshooting Guide is also a good resource for issues found using the RI method.

b. Setup screens:
Setup and Maintenance > Implementation Projects.
Create an implementation project to which you assign setup related tasks.
Following is a list of minimum steps needed to create a ledger using the setup screens.

1. In Setup and Maintenance > Implementation Projects, create a new implementation project and click on Save and Open
Project.

4. Within the Create Primary Ledger

window enter the options for the new ledger and click on Save and Edit Task List
.
Please note the ledger wont get created at this point, you have just selected the name, chart of accounts, calendar, currency
and accounting method
that will be used to create the primary ledger at a later time.
Upon saving you are taken back to the Implementation project page. This will allow you to continue with the definition of the
accounting options of the ledger.

5. The next step is to define the ledger options but before going into the mandatory task Specify Ledger Options set the scope
by clicking on the Select link under the column Selected Scope.
A pop-up window appears to select the scope. Select Specify Ledger Options. For Primary Ledger select Select and Add from
the
drop down list and click on Apply and Go to Task. Select the ledger created earlier from the list displayed and click on Save
and Close.

6. The Specify Ledger Options screen is displayed for the ledger selected. Define the first accounting period to be opened, the
retained earnings account
and other journal processing options. Note that if you select a value for the Subledger Accounting Method field, the Journal
Language field will appear and a language must be entered.

Once those options are selected click on Save and Close.

7. At this point you can go on to perform other configuration steps like assign legal entities, assign balancing segment values,
define a secondary ledger or reporting currency or you can submit the creation of the new ledger and do those other tasks at a
later time.
Back in the implementation project go to task Review and Submit Accounting Configuration.
Once you ensure the main components of the ledger are what you wish, click on Submit.

8. Take note of the Enterprise Scheduler Service (ESS) request that is launched upon clicking on Submit in the Review and
Submit Accounting Configuration.

9. Go to Scheduled Processes UI to check the submitted requests.Three programs are launched at this point. The parent
request is the Accounting Configuration Setup program which launches
two other programs: the GL Accounting Setup and the Cube Creation. The last one is in charge of creating the multi-
dimensional Essbase cube of the GL ledger.
Ensure all of them end successfully.
