R12 – Difference between Draft, Final, etc in Create Accounting

Part -I: Online Accounting: (For single entity)

DRAFT will create Journal Entries, which are NOT final, which means they are NOT ready to be transferred to GL.
  • You can see the accounting in XLA_AE_HEADERS and XLA_AE_LINES.

         XLA_AE_HEADERS.accounting_entry_status_code is ‘D’
         XLA_EVENTS.process_status_code is ‘D’
         XLA_EVENTS.event_status_code is ‘U’ 

  • You can run create accounting on this transaction again and again, which will delete the old journal entries and create new ones.
  • You can’t transfer these journal entries to GL.
FINAL will create journal entries, which can be transferred to GL.

  • You can see the accounting in XLA_AE_HEADERS and XLA_AE_LINES.

         XLA_AE_HEADERS.accounting_entry_status_code is ‘F’
         XLA_EVENTS.process_status_code is ‘P’
         XLA_EVENTS.event_status_code is ‘P’

         XLA_EVENTS.process_status_code is ‘P’
         XLA_EVENTS.event_status_code is ‘P’
