Oracle Purchasing 11.5.10.2 -- How to link purchasing item category to a particular general ledger s
I need help from the community in setting up Oracle Purchasing module.
Our accounting department uses 6 key flexfields segmentsts to define the chart of accounts. I've set up some purchasing item categories in Oracle Purchasing module. I would need to link the item categories to the chart of accounts (PO charging accounts) so they could automatically populate in the PO charging account fields in PO distribution form.
We have the following conditions:
1. We don't want to use account alias.
2. The Define Expense Charge Account Rule wouldn't work as we tested it. It requires each item category to assign to all 6 segments. The key is that 5 of the 6 segments have default values and we would like to assign item category to only one segment which is the natural GL account. Does anyone know a trick to tie the purchasing item category to one GL account segment? Thank you
