Importing journals Oracle Apps R12

To prepare for importing journals:

1. Define all account segment values used in your feeder systems.

2. Define your ledger using Accounting Setup Manager. The accounting setup must have a Complete status to use its ledgers.

3. Define or enable all currencies used in your feeder systems.

4. Define the journal entry sources used in your feeder systems. You can also specify whether you want General Ledger to store journal reference information from your feeder systems for a particular source. 5. Define journal entry categories used in your feeder systems.

6. If you want Journal Import to assign sequential numbers to your journal entries, enable sequential numbering, specifying Automatic as both your numbering and document generation method.

7. Open periods used in your feeder system. You can only import journals into Open or Future-Enterable periods in General Ledger.

8. Run the Optimizer program to create indexes on your account segments.

9. Define the concurrent program controls to improve the performance of Journal Import by setting the amount of disk space and memory it uses. The Journal Import program requires approximately 1.4 megabytes of memory to run. You can also specify whether to save your Journal Import data each time you run Journal Import. Journal Import runs faster if you do not archive your data.
