Sangam16 - Largest Independent Oracle Users Group Conference in India

Oracle EBS Customers, post implementation and usage for some time, might face a situation where their business may require the Accounting Calendar  setup in General Ledger Module needs to be changed. The need may arise as a result of merger and acquisitions, divestiture, standardizing across the enterprise or correcting the calendar structure to conform to certain regulations. 

Scenarios might include changing the calendar structure from Monthly to 4-4-5 or vice versa, changing the Calendar year from Calendar (Jan-Dec) to Fiscal year (Apr-Mar, Jul-Jun, Oct-Sep, etc.) or Vice versa, or close the year as of acquisition date and start the operations under the acquirer company as of certain  period/date, or change the calendar period's start or end dates, period names, or may need to add new adjustment periods which were not defined earlier.
Discussion will be around the different needs and the type of structural changes required for the Accounting Calendar already in use in Oracle EBS.
