GL ALTERNATE ACCOUNT SHOULD WORK IN THE SUBLEDGERS FOR ENCUMBRANCE ACCOUNTING
Oracle has a enhancement logged in for enabling this functionality (16715909). I wanted to check if anyone has an update by when Oracle plans to release this enhancement and if anyone has any other solution to this issue.
We have created purchase orders in 2014 which have been partially billed. Now in 2015, our client changed the cost center structure and end dated old cost centers used in 2014 and mapped them to 2015. We have defined alternate accounts in GL for each end dated code combination.
Problem arises when we have to amend all in progress contracts and add a new in with 2015 cost centers. When submitting these orders for approval again, we get error that cost center used in line 1 is inactive and invalid. Now, our finance team has to enable the 2014 cost center for the order to get approved. This has happened several times and causes lot of issues and back and forth with business. 2014 cost centers cannot be kept enabled since budget is not loaded in these cost centers. We have encumbrance accounting enabled.
