You can define suspense accounts in addition to the default suspense account for your set of
books. Do this on the Suspense Accounts window (Navigation = Setup/Accounts/Suspense).
General Ledger posts a balancing amount to the default account when there is no suspense
account defined with a matching source and category. General Ledger will automatically post
differences to this account. If you have multiple companies or balancing entities within a set of
books, General Ledger automatically creates a suspense account for each balancing entity.
If dynamic insertion is not enabled for the set of books, you must create these accounts manually
ahead of time.
Define Intercompany Account
If you wish to allow automatic intercompany balancing, check that option and define a default
intercompany account on the set of books form.

You can define intercompany accounts in addition to the default intercompany account for your
set of books. Do this on the Intercompany Accounts window (Navigation =
Setup/Accounts/Intercompany).
General Ledger posts a balancing amount to the default account when there is no intercompany
account defined with a matching source, category, and type. General Ledger ensures that all
journal entries balance (debits and credits) within a balancing entity within your set of books. If a
journal entry is out-of-balance for a particular balancing entity, General Ledger automatically
posts any difference against the appropriate intercompany account. If you have multiple
companies or balancing entities within a set of books, General Ledger automatically creates an
intercompany account for each balancing entity.
If dynamic insertion is not enabled for the set of books, you must create these accounts manually
ahead of time.

This program is run to create or drop indexes for those segments in your chart of accounts that
you have marked for indexing. You can also update statistical information about your data, which
is used by several General Ledger programs. To run the optimizer:
1. Specify whether you want to index a particular segment in your chart of
accounts using the Key Flexfield Segments window.
2. Freeze your accounting flexfield structure.
3. Navigate to the Submit Request window.
4. Select the Optimizer program.
5. Enter Yes for Maintain Indexes to create or drop the indexes for your chart of accounts.
The optimizer creates an index on a segment if one does not yet exist, and drops an index
on a segment if you no longer index the segment. This is useful when you define a new
chart of accounts for which you want to index particular segments or when you want to
add or drop an index for an existing segment in your chart of accounts.
6. Enter Yes for Gather Statistics. The optimizer program gathers and updates statistical
information about the size of your balances and combinations table, the number of account
combinations with a particular segment value, and the number of account balances
associated with each accounting period.

f. Enter your AutoPost priorities for this criteria set. Each priority includes a Priority
number, journal Source, journal Category, Balance Type and Period. The priority
number must be a value from 1 to 99, where 1 is the highest priority and 99 is the
lowest. Batches with higher priorities are posted first. You can use the same priority
number more than once. You can enter All in any field (except Priority number) to select
all journal sources and categories, balance types, or accounting periods.
g. Save your work.
2. To schedule an AutoPost run:
a. Navigate to the AutoPost Criteria Set window.
b. Query the AutoPost criteria set for which you want to schedule the AutoPost program.
c. Choose the Schedule AutoPost button.
d. Set the scheduling options on the Submit Request window.
e. Save your work.
3. To run the AutoPost program:
a. Navigate to the AutoPost Criteria Set window. Optionally, you can submit the AutoPost
program from the Submit Request window. Enter the AutoPost criteria set name in the
Parameters window.
b. Query the AutoPost criteria set for which you want to run the AutoPost program
c. Choose the Submit AutoPost button.
d. Review the AutoPost Execution Report after the Program Completes successfully. Use
this execution report to review the journal batches selected for posting.
Step 7: Set up Storage Parameters for GL_POSTING_INTERIM
Although the default storage parameters meet the needs of most installations, you can increase
interim table allocations if the default parameters are inadequate.

From the data in the above example, the best order to make the most
selective index is:
SEGMENT4, SEGMENT3, SEGMENT2, SEGMENT6, SEGMENT5, SEGMENT1
And you would create the index as follows:
CREATE INDEX gl_code_combinations_cat
ON gl_code_combinations(segment4,
segment3,
segment2,
segment6,
segment5,
segment1)

Posting Maintenance
Run the General Ledger Optimizer at least once a period, or any time you add several segment
values, define a new chart of accounts, or add or delete summary templates.
If you add new balancing segment values and dynamic insertion is not enabled, you must
create new accounting flexfield combinations for retained earnings with the new segment
values. If you have enabled suspense posting, or automatic intercompany balancing, you must
define those accounts. Define cumulative translation adjustment accounts, reserve for
encumbrance and net income accounts if you are using those.
If you have added detail accounts to your summary accounts since your last posting, run the
Maintain Summary Templates program before you post your journal batches. This can
improve performance of the posting program.
