Define Accounting Calendar

Calendar Types

General Ledger Super User --> Setup --> Financials --> Calendars --> Types



You can use any of the seeded Calendar Types or create your own custom Calendar type.

For Year Type: Calendar or Fiscal

Accounting Calendar

General Ledger Super User --> Setup --> Financials --> Calendars --> Accounting

Prerequisite

Carefully consider the type of calendar you need for your organization, since it can be difficult to change your calendar (e.g., from a fiscal year to a calendar year) once you've used it to enter accounting data. Changing your calendar may require assistance from an Oracle consultant.

Define your accounting period types





Be careful not to miss out on any day when defining your calendar periods.

In the example above you can see that we have defined an additional adjusting period that overlaps with our last period of the year and allows us to make adjustments after we have closed the last period. We can have more than one adjusting period in a year with any from date and to date.

You can enable Security by checking the box (optional). You can secure your calendar definition using definition access sets. Definition access sets are an optional security feature that allows you to control use, view, and modify access to your General Ledger definitions.

For accounting calendars, only View and Modify access are applicable.

When you exit the Calendar Form, the Calendar Validation Report is automatically launched. You can view the request. You can also launch the request manually.
