Hello.

When you load the TB in GL you will be loading also the customers and suppliers balances. When loading the data into the subledgers you cannot use the same accounts used for TB or the data will become duplicated. That's where you need to use Clearing Accounts.

Hello Murthy.
When you move from other system into Oracle APPS you have to load the Trial Balance into Oracle General Ledger. The TB comprises all accounts and balances, including the debts from customers (Accounts Receivable) and the debts to suppliers (Accounts Payables). After loading the TB, you will need also to load the open items into Receivables and Payables. That is where you will need to use Clearing Accounts because the amounts corresponding to open item have already been loded into GL when you uploaded the TB.

Hello Mr Octavio,

You are trying say here, the debts are not received ( receivables ) & not paid ( payables) during data migration that are called open items. These open items also get upload into oracle to adjust the customer / supplier balances when you receive receipt / making payment . Till such time these balances ( transactions ) would be kept in clearing accounts.

Is my understanding correct ? Please confirm.

thanks/ Subramaniam

Hello Subramaniam.

Yes, i'm talking about the open items at the time of the migration. After entering them in the Subledgers you should post them to GL and reverse the journals created to clear the duplication TB/open items.
