To use the Create Budgets in a Spreadsheet option, you need to have a budget scenario value and a scenario dimension member for your budget. A budget scenario value is a user-defined value that identifies a budget, such as FYXX Budget. A scenario dimension member is a member of the scenario dimension in the General Ledger balances cube that corresponds to a budget scenario value, such as FYXX_Budget. You can create budget scenario values and scenario dimension members using the Manage Budget Scenario Values task or the Create Scenario Dimension Members program. If you do not create these values and members, your budget will not appear in the Budget Name list of values in the spreadsheet. Therefore, the two reasons for your issue are:

A value for the budget scenario is not created: You need to create a budget scenario value for your budget using the Manage Budget Scenario Values task. This task enables you to define and maintain budget scenario values and their attributes, such as description, start date, end date, and status. You can also specify whether the budget scenario value is enabled for budgeting and reporting. You need to enable the budget scenario value for budgeting to use it in the spreadsheet.

The Create Scenario Dimension Members program has not been run: You need to run the Create Scenario Dimension Members program to create scenario dimension members for your budget scenario values. This program automatically creates scenario dimension members for all budget scenario values that are enabled for budgeting and do not have existing scenario dimension members. You can run this program manually or schedule it to run periodically. You need to run this program after you create or update budget scenario values to ensure that they are reflected in the scenario dimension.

A primary ledger is the main ledger for a legal entity or business unit that records all accounting transactions and maintains the accounting balances. A secondary ledger is an optional ledger that is associated with a primary ledger and maintains accounting balances in a different accounting representation. A reporting currency is an optional currency that is associated with a primary ledger and maintains accounting balances in a different currency. In this scenario, the subsidiary company needs to produce fiscal reports under local GAAP and local currency, as well as report to the parent company using IFRS and not local currency. Therefore, the subsidiary company should configure a primary ledger with the local accounting convention and local currency, and a secondary ledger with the IFRS accounting convention and not local currency. A reporting currency with the local accounting convention or the IFRS accounting convention would not meet the requirement, as it would only maintain balances in a different currency, not a different accounting representation. A primary ledger with the IFRS accounting convention would not meet the requirement, as it would not comply with the local GAAP. References:

According to Oracle documentation1, the following statements are true regarding intercompany accounting for Financials Cloud, Projects, Inventory, and SCM: Each product has its own Intercompany Accounting feature that needs to be configured separately, and Intercompany Balancing Rules are defined centrally and applied across Financials and Projects. Intercompany accounting is the process of recording transactions between related entities within an enterprise or between groups in the same legal entity. Each product has its own Intercompany Accounting feature that enables you to create, process, and reconcile intercompany transactions. Intercompany Balancing Rules are used to generate balancing entries for journals that are out of balance by legal entity or primary balancing segment values. Intercompany Balancing Rules are defined in General Ledger and applied across Financials and Projects. Therefore, options A and C are correct. Option B is incorrect because Intercompany Balancing Rules are not used to balance cross-ledger allocation journals. Option D is incorrect because Intercompany balancing rules in General Ledger do not need to be mapped with the intercompany configuration in each product.

 Intercompany processing will balance a journal using the accounts identified here for the UK Ledger when the journal is balanced by the primary balancing segment value (BSV) but not by second or third BSV. A BSV is a segment in the chart of accounts that identifies a legal entity or business unit for which financial statements are prepared and balanced. A primary BSV is required for every ledger and is used to balance journal entries within a ledger. A secondary or tertiary BSV is optional and is used to balance journal entries across different dimensions other than the primary BSV, such as fund or region. Intercompany processing is a feature that enables intercompany transactions between different legal entities or business units within the same enterprise. Intercompany processing uses intercompany balancing rules to generate intercompany receivables and payables accounts for cross-ledger or cross-BSV journals. Intercompany processing will balance a journal using the accounts identified here for the UK Ledger when the journal is balanced by the primary BSV but not by second or third BSV, as this indicates that there is an intercompany transaction between different legal entities or business units within the UK Ledger that requires intercompany balancing. Intercompany processing will not balance a journal using the accounts identified here for the UK Ledger when there is a many-to-many journal and you want to use a clearing company, as this is a scenario that involves multiple legal entities or business units across different ledgers that requires a separate clearing company ledger to perform intercompany balancing. Intercompany processing will not balance a journal using the accounts identified here for the UK Ledger when the journal is not balanced by the primary BSV, as this is an invalid scenario that violates the accounting rules and prevents posting of the journal. Intercompany processing will not balance a journal using the accounts identified here for the UK Ledger when the journal is balanced by second balancing segment value, as this is an incomplete scenario that does not specify whether the journal is also balanced by primary and third BSV. Reference: Oracle Financials Cloud: General Ledger 2022 Implementation Professional Objectives - Configure and Process Intercompany 12

Smart View and Financial Reporting Studio are two reporting tools that allow you to create and include charts such as bar graphs in your financial statements. Smart View is a multidimensional pivot analysis tool that enables you to interactively analyze your balances and define reports using a familiar spreadsheet environment. You can also insert charts and graphs to visualize your data. Financial Reporting Studio is a tool that lets you design and format financial reports using data from the Oracle General Ledger balances cube. You can also add charts and graphs to enhance your reports and display data trends. References:

To modify the journal approval notification, you need to copy (or customize) and edit the layout template and the data model of the Analytics Publisher report. The layout template defines the appearance and content of the notification, such as the text, fields, tables, and images. The data model defines the data sources and queries that provide the data for the notification, such as the journal attributes, amounts, and statuses. You can use Template Builder for Word to edit the layout template and Analytics Publisher to edit the data model. You also need to download the Workflow Notification Subtemplate, which is a common subtemplate that contains the header and footer of the notification. You can preview the modified notification using the subtemplate and the data model. References:

To create an Income Statement using Smart View, you should use Ad Hoc Analysis. Ad Hoc Analysis is a Smart View tool that allows users to view and analyze financial data from General Ledger Cloud using Essbase cubes. Users can create reports such as Income Statements or Balance Sheets by selecting dimensions and members from Essbase cubes and retrieving data into Excel worksheets. Users can also perform actions such as drilling down, pivoting, zooming in or out, or expanding or collapsing members

Data access sets are collections of ledgers that define the data security for users who access General Ledger. Users can only access the ledgers that are assigned to them through data access sets. To allow users with the General Accountant job role to access the UK Ledger, you need to create a data access set that includes the UK Ledger and assign it to the user/role combination. You also need to specify the access privilege for the data access set, which can be Full Ledger, Both Read and Write, or Read Only. In this case, you need to select Both Read and Write to allow read/write access to the full ledger. References:

You should define the default intercompany balancing rule at the legal entity level, because each ledger has one legal entity assigned to it and each legal entity is associated with one balancing segment value. This way, you can specify the intercompany receivables and payables accounts for each legal entity and ensure that the journals are balanced by legal entity or primary balancing segment values. A ledger-level rule would apply to all legal entities in the ledger, which may not be appropriate if they have different intercompany accounts. A primary balancing segment rule would apply to all ledgers that share the same chart of accounts, which may not be desirable if they have different intercompany rules. A chart of accounts rule would apply to all ledgers and legal entities that use the same chart of accounts, which may not be feasible if they have different intercompany segments or accounts. References:

Balances cubes are multidimensional databases that store financial balances for interactive reporting and analysis. A balances cube is created for each unique combination of ledger and currency, and it contains dimensions such as chart of accounts segments, periods, scenarios, and other user-defined attributes. New dimensions can be added to a balances cube by using the Manage Balances Cube Dimensions task in General Ledger. Balances cubes are updated automatically when journals are posted in General Ledger, and they can also be refreshed manually by using the Refresh Balances Cube task. Balances cubes are not affected by the Translation or Revaluation processes, as these processes only update the balances tables in General Ledger. References:

According to Oracle’s documentation, if you enter and post additional journal entries in your ledger currency after you run translation, you should rerun translation for the entire ledger or ledger set to ensure that all balances are translated using the same exchange rates. Then, you should reconsolidate your results to reflect the updated translated balances. References:

Using General Ledger, page 9-7: “If you enter and post additional journal entries in your ledger currency after you run translation, you should rerun translation for the entire ledger or ledger set.”

Using General Ledger, page 9-8: “After you run translation, you can consolidate your results to create a consolidated balance sheet and income statement.”

Implement General Ledger, page 2-10: “You can translate and consolidate balances as part of the period close process.”

To keep a thin secondary ledger, you should select the balance level as the data conversion level. This means that only the ending balances of the primary ledger are copied to the secondary ledger at the end of each period. This reduces the data volume and storage requirements of the secondary ledger, as well as the processing time and resources needed to copy the data. The balance level conversion is suitable for scenarios where the accounting methods or charts of accounts are similar between the primary and secondary ledgers, and there is no need to maintain detailed journals or subledger transactions in the secondary ledger. References: Primary Ledgers, Secondary Ledgers, and Reporting Currencies, How Journals Are Copied from Primary to Secondary Ledgers When …, GL Secondary Ledger Conversion Level Change
