Creating a Split Distribution in Oracle


Purpose

This reference guide is intended for the Entity Financial Manager Approval Group, Procurement Requester – General, Project Manager, and Organization Financial Manager Approval Group to create a split distribution on a requisition in Oracle.

Actions

· Split the Distribution at the Line Level

· Split the Distribution at the Header Level

Terminology

· Chart of Accounts (COA): A 10-segment combination of accounts composed of primary and secondary segments. The primary segments define the business transaction (Entity, Org., Account, Fund, Purpose). The secondary segments allow us to define why the transaction is being incurred (Purpose, Program, Activity, Site).

· POETAF: A 6-segment combination of Project Cost Collection values that are used to code transactions against projects defined within the Project Portfolio Management module (Project Number, Expenditure Organization, Expenditure Type, Task Number, Contract Number, Funding Source). All transactions coded with POETAF must also have a COA defined.
