GL_FULL_OLD_TO_NEW Table

Explanation
Lists legacy account numbers in the 9-digit format used in GENLED (the general ledger system used at Penn before July 1, 1996) and their counterparts, the 26- position Accounting Flexfields used in the present General Ledger accounting structure (in use at Penn since July 1, 1996). Legacy account numbers in the 9-digit format are still used in some systems.

Common Uses
Finding the BEN Financials equivalent for a 9-digit legacy account number, or vice versa.

Cautions

  • Not all the 9-digit legacy accounts listed in GL_FULL_OLD_TO_NEW were used before July 1, 1996. Some were generated by an Oracle application so 26-position Accounting Flexfields that were created after July 1, 1996, could be represented in systems that still use the 9-digit format for account numbers. To distinguish the legacy accounts used in the legacy financial system (before July 1, 1996) from those that were not, use the GENERATED_FLAG.

  • Not all the 26-position Accounting Flexfields listed in GL_FULL_OLD_TO_NEW are currently active in BEN Financials. Use the ENABLED_FLAG in a record selection condition to retrieve only the records with Accounting Flexfields currently active in BEN Financials. The ENABLED_DATE indicates the last time the ENABLED_FLAG was updated.

  • The 9-digit legacy account number may map to different Accounting Flexfields at different times. Check START_DATE_ACTIVE and END_DATE_ACTIVE to ensure that the query returns records that are valid for the desired time frame.

  • More than one legacy account number may map to a given Accounting Flexfield, but a given Accounting Flexfield maps back to only one legacy account. When querying to determine the legacy account equivalents for Accounting Flexfields, be sure to check the NEWTOOLD_FLAG.
