Hi Zeeshan,

SLA does not work the way an Account Generator does based on workflow configured. SLA comes in to picture only when the accounting operation is performed, whereas Account generators are used when the transaction is recorded.
SLA can derive, default, override Chart of Account segment values at the Accounting Entry Level and not at the Transaction level.
You can try defining Distribution sets in Payables Module and assign it to Supplier sites, which would in turn default at the Invoice Distribution level, during invoice creation ....

Hi,

This expected feature is transaction accounting defination (TAD)

But unfortunately this works only for AGIS module

we have left out with workarounds like personalization, distribution sets

Hi karthikeyan and Shanmukh,

Thank you so much for your response!

Now i am feeling comfortable and confident about SLA and TAD because i was worked so much on TAD/TAB (transaction account builder) so as i can associate TAB with ADR (account derivation rules) but could not do so. its mean it is working with only AGIS. I think oracle should allow it for other applications (sub-ledgers) as well because there will be a conflict and need to define the control between default accounting string values using AG (account generation workflow) and after create accounting program using SLA. For example, we customize AG for default accounting string as per our accounting rules for our AP invoices (project related) and in SLA our account derivation rules is configured something different then transaction level and create accounting level will be different. So, we need to define any control like if any accounting rule will be update then we need to update the AG as well same as account derivation rules. Please correct me if i am wrong.
