Hi,

In R12 there is a new management segment qualifier for your chart of accounts. This would qualify a segment to be the management segment if that segment has management responsibility and you can facilitate setting of Read, Write access permissions while defining Data access set in GL.

With this new concept you can:

Enables management reporting and analysis
Provide a better controls access to specific MSVs based on management responsibility and this can be
prevents managers/line managers from viewing or updating data for cost centers, lines of businesses, product lines, etc. that are outside their responsibility
Secures access to ledgers and management segment values
Grants read only or read and write access to management segment values
This can be best understood as with this simple example,assume you Business COA is based out of three thing like



line of business
cost center
product line
You can set Qualifier with any of the segement, The added benefit of using a management segment is that you can now secure management segment values using data access sets. So you can grant read only or read and write access to specific management segment values to prevent certain managers from viewing and updating data for cost centers, lines of business, or product lines outside of their management authority.

Defining and Designing your Management segment qualifier

Define a management segment if you want to perform management reporting and secure read and write access to segment values for the managementsegment. This segment can be any segment, except the balancing segment, natural account segment, or intercompany segment.

How it works

This can be understood as, lets we have four cost center like C0699,C0101,C0201,C0312 and these cost center have Vice President, director A, director B and Director C respectively.The Orginaztional Chart of cost center hierarchy


If you assign the cost center segment as the management segment, read and write access can be secured to certain management segment values based on the cost center manager.

In above example , Director A has read and write access to only cost center C101. Director A does not have access to Director B
