QUESTION OF THE DAY!!  

                

Module: Oracle GL

Question:  How do you disable a segment value and code combinations so journals will not be created with these accounts? 

You must disable the segment, and disable every code combination that uses that segment. In version 11 and prior, you must disable each code combination individually. However, in 11i, you can disable a range of code combinations using the new Segment Value Inheritance program. See the General Ledger User’s Guide, Release 11i for more information on this program. Note: There is no supported way to delete a segment value. Segment values should only be disabled not deleted. General Ledger does not distinguish between accounts which have transactions outstanding in order to determine if these accounts should not be disabled.
