Note

You may need to run the Enterprise Scheduler Service (ESS) job Publish Chart of Account Dimension Members and Hierarchies to Balances Cubes in Parallel if you change the value set to be summary.

Assign the tree code to the segment instance

  • In Task, select Manage Chart of Accounts Structure Instances.
  • In Manage Chart of Accounts Structure Instances:
    • In Key Flexfield Code, enter GL.
    • Select Search.
    • For the General Ledger Accounting Flexfield, select Actions → Manage Structure Instances.
    • In Manage Key Flexfield Structure Instances, select Operations Accounting Flex for Structure Name.
    • Select Search.
    • For Operations Accounting Flex, select Actions → Edit.
    • In Edit Key Flexfield Structure Instance: Operations_Accounting_Flex, for Account, select Actions → Edit.

  • Select OK.
  • In the Process Details window:

    • Select Submit.

Secure the segment hierarchy

Optionally secure the segment hierarchy and run the LDAP sync.

Check if the VO has data from OTBI

  • In OTBI, select Administration → Issue SQL.
  • Enter the following query: select_physical * from "FscmTopModelAM.AccountBIAM.flex_tree_vs_gl_account_vi"
  • Select Issue SQL.

The Incorta GLSegmentHier materialized view uses the following VOs:

  • Fusion_FIN_COMMON.flex_tree_vs_gl_account_vi gcf
  • Fusion_FIN_COMMON.fndtreeversiontlp1 tvt

Here are some sample OTBI issue SQL queries:

Natural account

FscmTopModelAM.AccountBIAM.FLEX_TREE_VS_GL_ACCOUNT_VI
FscmTopModelAM.AccountBIAM.FLEX_TREECODE_VS_GL_ACCOUNT_VI


select_physical * from FscmTopModelAM.AccountBIAM.FLEX_VS_GL_ACCOUNT_VI
select_physical * from "FscmTopModelAM.AccountBIAM.flex_tree_vs_gl_account_vi"

Cost center

select_physical * from "FscmTopModelAM.AccountBIAM.FLEX_VS_FA_COST_CTR_VI"
select_physical * from "FscmTopModelAM.AccountBIAM.FLEX_TREE_VS_FA_COST_CTR_VI"
