Secondary Tracking Segment
You can use an additional segment in your chart of accounts to track more detail when
General Ledger performs posting, year-end closing, translation, and revaluation
activities.

To use the secondary tracking segment, identify one of your flexfield segments in your
chart of accounts as the secondary tracking segment. The balancing, intercompany, and natural account segment cannot be used as the secondary tracking segment. In the Ledger Options page in Accounting Setup Manager, enable the Track by Secondary Segment option. General Ledger tracks retained earnings, cumulative translation adjustment, and revaluation unrealized gain/loss specific to the balancing segment and secondary tracking segment value pair.

Note: Secondary tracking segment support does not apply to suspense adjustments, intercompany segment values balancing, and rounding imbalance processing. Posting balances suspense, intercompany, and rounding imbalance adjustments using the primary balancing segment value only. Secondary tracking segment support also does not apply to average balance enabled ledger.
