Provide Attribute Level configuration to Configurable Account Analysis (CAA)

Sreedhar Mohan

Problem Description:

Currently we can configure Configurable Account Analysis (CAA) at subledger level only.

But companies like Lowe's use Fusion Accounting Hub, where we use custom-subledgers. Because the journals are created external to ERP, we create Lowe's-journal-id, which is differen't than Fusion-journal-id.

So, in order to track the releation between a transaction to journal, just like CAA, we created a custom data set just like CAA, which tracks Lowe's-journal-id, Fusion-journal-id, and the transaction details from each sub ledger.

The creation and maintenance of this customization is a big overhead currently in terms of human resources as well as compute resources.

Proposal:

If CAA allow's to select attributes also from each subledgers, customers like us can select what we want and can completely avoid creation of additional custom-data-sets for referencing relation between custom-journal-id, Fusion-journal-id, and the transaction details from each sub ledger.

Benefit:

1. This will facilitate avoiding customizations for creation and maintenance of custom-data-sets.
2. Improve the overall refresh timings.
3. Reduces the overhead of maintenance activities to be performed after each quarterly upgrade.
