Oracle Subledger Accounting allows for multiple accounting representations of a single business event. It retains granular transaction details in the subledger while allowing for different summarization in the general ledger. Key concepts for cash management events include event classes, types, and sources. The subledger accounting process includes defining rules, methods, and journal entries which are created from events and transferred to the general ledger.
