How Inventory Passes Journals To General Ledger (GL)

Inventory Transactions transfer to GL normally done by Program called INCTGL.

Inventory to GLThe accounting information related to transactions in INV module is transferred to GL by running the ‘Transfer Transactions to GL’ concurrent program. This is part of ‘Period End Process' . However, you can run explicitly any time during an open period. When you run this process and in case if more than one period is open, all the transactions from the earliest open period to the date up to which the process is run (Transfer Date) are considered for transfer to GL.

When you run this program all the accounting information is inserted into gl_interface table. ‘Journal Import’ and ‘Post Journals’ processes in Oracle General Ledger can then be used to post the information in General Ledger.

The level of detail that is transferred to GL for the accounting information related to these transactions depends on the value chosen in the Organization Parameters Screen

Navigation: Oracle Inventory => Setup => Organization => Parameters

Each parameter has there own significance.

1. Organization Code : This is one of inventory organization, for which the gl transfer has to be done.
2. Date :A date in any open period.
3. Current Period
4. GL Description

The possible values for the ‘Transfer to GL’ field (in Organization Parameters Screen) are – Detail, Summary, None.

* When Summary is selected :The accounting information pertaining to the transactions is summarized and the summary entries are posted to GL. One of the advantage of running the process in 'Summary' mode over 'Detail' mode is minimising the posting times.
* When ‘Detail’ is selected :The detailed accounting entries are transferred to GL. In this case, the posting times are larger due to a larger number of records. The advantage of this mode is creation of detailed accounting records in GL for every transaction in Inventory/WIP.
* When none is selected: This case no transfer of accounting information to GL is done for this organization.
Running ‘Transfer to GL’ process
