Step 16. Assign a Ledger to the GL Ledger Name Profile Option

If using Oracle Subledgers whose menus contain General Ledger windows that require data access set information, you must assign the appropriate ledger to the profile option GL Ledger Name for each subledger application or responsibility. This profile option controls the ledger that each subledger will use for transaction processing.

If you skip this step, you will not be able to enter transactions for a ledger in your subledgers. The ledger specified for the GL Ledger Name profile is automatically applied to the GL: Data Access Set profile option, but the GL: Data Access Set profile option can be changed to control the ledgers accessible by General Ledger users.

You need to perform this step only once per installation. This profile option can be set at the application or responsibility level for every Oracle Financial subledger.
