Calendar Change Software for Oracle E-Business Suite
Automates the process of changing calendars in Oracle E-Business Suite, allowing you to support business requirements, retain history, and tie in all the subledger detail with the GL calendar. Calendars in other Oracle modules are copied or can be synchronized to the new GL calendar (Including FA, Projects, Inv, Budgets, and others).
Sometimes the business requires changes to an existing calendar – either changing the calendar from a 4-4-5 calendar to a monthly calendar, changing a monthly calendar to a fiscal calendar, changing the dates on a period, changing the number of periods, or even changing the period names or calendar name. There are a number of difficulties to overcome because in Oracle E-Business Suite, the GL calendar is also used in many subledgers. Creating a new set of books or ledger and using financial consolidation for reporting isn’t always an option because when you change sets of books, your history and subledger detail isn’t synchronized with the reporting set of books and periods.
