What is the use of secondry tracking segment ?

Hi,

<font color="blue"><b>Secondary Tracking Segment</b></font id="blue">
You can use an additional segment in your accounting classification code
structure to track more detail when General Ledger performs posting, year-end closing, translation, and revaluation activities.

To use this feature identify one flexfield segment (cannot be the balancing,
interfund, or natural account segment) from your accounting classification code structure as the secondary tracking segment. Enable the Closing and Translation option, the Revaluation option, or both to track fund balance, cumulative translation adjustment, and revaluation unrealized gain/loss specific to the balancing segment and secondary tracking segment value pair depending on the options you enabled.

****Secondary tracking segment support does not apply to suspense adjustments, interfund segment values balancing, and rounding imbalance processing. The posting process balances these using only the primary balancing segment value

Hope this helps you to understand about secondary tracking segment ....
