GL Tables

General Ledger tables can be grossly classified into following 5 categories. Here are few important tables in each category.

Ledgers Tables:

GL_LEDGERS: Stores information about the ledgers defined in the Accounting Setup Manager and the ledger sets defined in the Ledger Set form. Each row includes the ledger or ledger set name, short name, description, ledger currency, calendar, period type, chart of accounts, and other information.

GL_CODE_COMBINATIONS: Stores valid account combinations for each Accounting Flexfield structure within your Oracle General Ledger application.

Period Tables:

GL_PERIODS: Stores information about the accounting periods you define using the Accounting Calendar form.

GL_PERIOD_SETS: Stores the calendars you define using the Accounting Calendar form.

GL_PERIOD_TYPES: Stores the period types you define using the Period Types form. Each row includes the period type name, the number of periods per fiscal year, and other information.

Journal Tables:

GL_JE_BATCHES: Stores journal entry batches. Each row includes the batch name, description, status, running total debits and credits, and other information.

GL_JE_HEADERS: Stores journal entries. There is a one-to-many relationship between journal entry batches and journal entries. Each row in this table includes the associated batch ID, the journal entry name and description, and other information about the journal entry.

GL_JE_LINES: Stores the journal entry lines that you enter in the Enter Journals form. There is a one-to-many relationship between journal entries and journal entry lines. Each row in this table stores the associated journal entry header ID, the line number, the associated code combination ID, and the debits or credits associated with the journal line.

GL_JE_SOURCES: Stores journal entry source names and descriptions. Each journal entry in your Oracle General Ledger application is assigned a source name to indicate how it was created. This table corresponds to the Journal Sources form.

GL_JE_CATEGORIES: Stores journal entry categories. Each row includes the category name and description.

Conversion and consolidation tables:

GL_CONSOLIDATION: Stores information about your consolidation mappings. Each row includes a mapping’s ID, name, description, and other information. This table corresponds to the first window of the Consolidation Mappings form. You need one row for each consolidation mapping you define.

GL_CONSOLIDATION_ACCOUNTS: Stores the account ranges that you enter when you consolidate balances using the Transfer Consolidation Data form. This table corresponds to the Account Ranges window of the Transfer Consolidation Data form.

GL_DAILY_RATES: Stores the daily conversion rates for foreign currency transactions. It replaces the GL_DAILY_CONVERSION_RATES table. It stores the rate to use when converting between two currencies for a given conversion date and conversion type.

GL_DAILY_BALANCES: Stores daily aggregate balances for detail and summary balance sheet accounts in sets of books with average balances enabled.

Budgeting tables:

GL_BUDGET_TYPES: Stores information about budget types. Oracle General Ledger supports only one budget type, ‘STANDARD’. Therefore, this table always contains only one row.

GL_BUDGET_ASSIGNMENTS: Stores the accounts that are assigned to each budget organization. Each row includes the currency assigned to the account and the entry code for the account. The entry code is either ‘E’ for entered or ‘C’ for calculated. This table corresponds to the Account Assignments window of the Define Budget Organization form.

GL_BUDGET_INTERIM: It is used internally by Oracle General Ledger applications to post budget balances to the GL_BALANCES table. Rows are added to this table whenever you run the budget posting program. The budget posting program updates the appropriate budget balances in GL_BALANCES based on the rows in this table, and then deletes the rows in this table that it used.

Interface Tables:

GL_INTERFACE: It is used to import journal entry batches through Journal Import. You insert rows in this table and then use the Import Journals window to create journal batches.

GL_INTERFACE_CONTROL: It is used to control Journal Import execution. Whenever you start Journal Import from the Import Journals form, a row is inserted into this table for each source and group id that you specified. When Journal Import completes, it deletes these rows from the table.

GL_BUDGET_INTERFACE: It is used to upload budget data into your Oracle General Ledger application from a spreadsheet program or other external source. Each row includes one fiscal year’s worth of budget amounts for an account.
