Mapping between GL and XLA tables

How Subledger Accounting (XLA) Tables are link to General Ledger (GL) Tables

Assumption is

GL Entry Summarization: Summarize (By GL Date or Period)

JLT – Transfer to GL: Detail

Expected behavior is: Summarize Entries at GL_JE_HEADERS and detail at GL_JE_LINES

Refer to following post as how this is determine

Transfer to GL in Detail or Summarize Mode

1. Relation between GL_JE_BATCHES and XLA_AE_HEADERS

A.1) Group_id column subledger(XLA_AE_HEADER) mapped group_id

1. Gl_je_batches.group_id => xla_ae_headers.group_id
2. 1 group id will have many xla_ae_headers rows
3. 1 group id will have 1 or many periods in xla_ae_headers
4. 1 group id will have 1 or many ledger id in xla_ae_headers
5. Ideally there shouldn’t be any rows in xla_ae_headers with null group_id
6. 1 group id and 1 period(GL Period) in xla_ae_headers will make 1 batch in GL_JE_BATCH
7. Since 1 group id in xla ae headers can have multiple periods so 1 group id in xla_ae_headers can have multiple batches in gl_je_batches

A.2) Group_id column in GL_JE_BATCHES that does NOT mapped to subledger (XLA_AE_HEADER) group_id

1. 1 group id will have multiple GL batches or je_batch_id
2. Ideally 1 group id and 1 period will make 1 journal batch but since mostly these are manual journal batches created through spreadsheet tool (Web ADI) here 1 group id, 1 period and 1 batch name in spreadsheet uploader will make one batch in GL_JE_BATCHES.
3. Group_id in GL_JE_BATCHES could be null for manually created batched through front end, please not these manually created journals are different from spreadsheet uploaded manual journals.

2. Relation between GL_JE_HEADERS with XLA_AE_HEADERS and XLA_AE_LINES

1. Here XLA_AE_HEADERS and XLA_AE_LINES will together create GL_JE_HEADER record.
2. XLA_AE_HEADERS and XLA_AE_LINES will be summarize as follows to create journal header or 1 row in GL_JE_HEADER

Source => either from XLA_AE_HEADERS or XLA_AE_LINES

Category=> Category from XLA_AE_HEADERS (Please note AP and GL category are not same)

Ledger=> either from XLA_AE_HEADERS or XLA_AE_LINES

Period=> Period from XLA_AE_HEADERS

Currency=> Currency_Code from XLA_AE_LINES

3. Relation between GL_JE_LINES with XLA_AE_HEADERS and XLA_AE_LINES

1. Here XLA_AE_HEADERS and XLA_AE_LINES will together create lines in GL_JE_LINES table.
2. XLA_AE_HEADERS and XLA_AE_LINES will be summarize as follows to create journal line or 1 row in GL_JE_LINES

Ledger=> either from XLA_AE_HEADERS or XLA_AE_LINES

Period=> Period from XLA_AE_HEADERS

GL Code => code_combination_id from XLA_AE_LINES

Entered_Dr=> Entered_Dr from XLA_AE_LINES

Entered_Cr=> Entered_Cr from XLA_AE_LINES

Accounted_Dr=> Entered_Dr from XLA_AE_LINES

Accounted_Cr=> Entered_Cr from XLA_AE_LINES

Description=> may match to description from XLA_AE_LINES if it is detailed je line type, if it is summarize then it may not match.

4. The Link between GL to SLA and reference columns in GL_IMPORT_REFERENCES
