Topical Essay
Expenditure Accounting System Interface is used to record the accounting
effects/ recognition of expenses and their payments relating to Staff Claims
and Staff receipts made in AIEAS (Air India Expenditure Accounting System.
The Information is extracted from the AIEAS and interfaced to Oracle general
Ledger in a summarized form on a monthly basis.
This AIES Import program will used to load data from the flat file, generate
by AIES (Legacy), into custom table and on the basis of mapping of AIEAS
accounting code to Code Combinations in General Ledger, correct accounts to
be debited and credited are identified. And then import the data from custom
tables into GL Interface Table.
Oracles standard SRS Program - Import Journals can then be used to create
Journal Entry from the data in GL interface tables.

Basic Business Needs

Expenditure Accounting System Interface provides you with the features you
need to satisfy the following basic business needs. You will be able to
address the following:

Recognize the amount of the Staff Claims and Staff receipts.

Dr/ Cr the amount to correct Accounts on the basis of mapping
accounts in AIEAS and Oracle General Ledger.

Major Features
Pick the required details
Expenditure Accounting System Interface will pick the required details from
the flat file received from AIEAS System. The description of the source file is
detailed below:
General Information:

Business Rules

The AIES interface is run on a monthly basis

Custom Program shall be developed to read the data from the Flat file
and generate accounting entries in a single run.

One batch shall be created for each run and all the journal entries are
passed in General Ledger Module

The sum of debit and credit amounts should be equal for each batch.
In case of difference, the file has to be rejected and the log file should
mention the reason for rejection with the following details
Rejection Reason

Debit Amount

Cr Amount Difference

In case the program does not find the account mappings the data
should not be populated into the GL_Interface table. The log file
should show the distinct AI Codes where it did not find the Oracle
Account Code (Segment 4) with the following message
Please update the Oracle Account Code for the following AI Codes in
the FND_Lookup_Values table where the lookup_type is
XXAI_ACCOUNT_MAPPING

241278479.doc

Import the journals with the option Create Summary Journals enabled

Document number will be generated for each journal entry.

All the amounts will be in Indian Currency. So, no currency conversions

will be involved.

No calculation are made, only summarized data in transferred to

General Ledger.

All expenses incurred in a period are paid with in the same period;
hence no accrual entries are transferred to General Ledger.

Since no validations in AIES can be done as to whether data is

transferred or not to GL, users have to ensure that data once
transferred is not transferred again. And in case any transactions are
done in AIES after the data is transferred to GL, those entries have to
be manually entered in GL of Oracle Application.

Definitions
GL_ Interface Tables
The GL_INTERFACE table is where Journal Import receives accounting data that you import
from other systems. When Journal Import receives this data, it validates and converts your import
data into journal entries within your General Ledger application.

depending on specific requirements. Information on required columns is available in Oracle
user guide on interfaces.
2. Create a separate table for change in every oracle application table
3. Specify the full oracle application column name under column ORACLE APPLICATIONS COLUMN NAME in the table below.
4. Specify the full table name.column name under column LEGACY SYSTEM TABLE NAME.
COLUMN NAME in the column below.

Column Validation Rules

It is assumed that columns not covered under this heading do not have any
validation.
Numbering is continued from the section Business Rules.
Column Validation Rule 1: GL_INTERFACE.SEGMENT4 (Account)
The Oracle Account Code should be populated based on the mapping
FND_LOOKUP titled XXAI_ACCOUNT_MAPPING from the
FND_LOOKUP_VALUES.DESCRIPTION WHERE FND_LOOKUP_VALUES.CODE =
AIEAS.ACCOUNT

Assumptions
This design assumes that the following statements are true:
Since no validations in AIES can be done as to whether data is
transferred or not to GL, it is assumed that users will ensure that the
data once transferred is not transferred again.
It is assumed that all expenses incurred in a period are paid with in the
same period; hence no accrual entries are transferred to General
Ledger.
No additional calculations will be require, except for summarization of
the journal entries
Mapping of Account codes in AIES and Oracle Applications are
maintained up-to-date. Else few journal entries because of wrong
mapping or absence of mapping may create wrong journal entries or
fail to create all journal entries.
The text file is placed in the designated place in the Production Server
before import
