Purpose

Subledger Accounting (SLA) has replaced GL_INTERFACE as the intermediary between PO Receiving Transactions and AP Invoices and the General Ledger.  Subledger Accounting now stores permanent records of Accrual Transactions unlike the GL_INTERFACE that stored no records after they have been moved to General Ledger. The Create Accounting Process moves transactions from RCV_RECEIVING_SUB_LEDGER to XLA Tables and at the same time Transfer and post the Accrual Transactions to GL.

This paper provides answers to some of the likely questions you may face relating to Accrual Process when upgrading to Release 12  in contrast with  the Accrual Process in Release 11i .
