Clarification on Handling Reconciling Items and Adjustments in Subledger-to-GL Comparison in ARCS
As part of our ARCS implementation, we have configured subledger-to-GL reconciliations primarily using Balance Comparison formats.
During our review, we identified scenarios where differences between GL and subledger (e.g., currency revaluation or other explained variances) are not true adjustments but need to be classified and reported separately as Reconciling Items or Balance Explanations.
If these explained differences are marked as Adjustments, they appear in ARCS reports as items requiring action in the next period and are used for journal postings in Oracle EBS, which is not appropriate for explained variances.
We need clarification on the following points:
- Is there a way in ARCS Balance Comparison formats to record both adjustments and balance explanations (e.g., revaluation differences) in separate sections or fields, so they can be classified distinctly?
