Hello People,
Please clarify these points regarding the OPM cost expense allocation process.
Existing Functionality in 11.5.10.2 is: This procedure allocates accrued expenses from the general ledger accounts to the appropriate costing allocation codes. This functionality requires Oracle General Ledger to be fully installed.
From the 11i user guide I noted down the following restrictions pertaining to running the cost allocation process:
■ You can only run one allocation process at a time
■ You cannot run process for a closed period
■ You can only use calendar belonging to the company for which you have Authorization
Now my doubt is if we have closed the GL period then Can we run this functionality in OPM for the closed GL period? The respective OPM inventory / costing calendar month is still open.
I tried the same running in a Test Instance and I found that though it got error out, expenses were correctly brought in OPM in GL_ALOC_INP (GL allocation maintenance). And now running the cost allocation process I can allocate the same to Items as defined in GL_ALOC_BAS (Allocation definition).
Can anyone tell what could be the side effects of doing this?
Will it have any restrictions on any other functionality?
I know that after closing the GL period OPM data cannot be exported to GL but then here Client does not want OPM as a standard sub ledger now and it want to use OPM only for running few standard & custom reports.
Appreciate if you could reply my queries at earliest.
Regards,
