Balances cubes are multidimensional databases that store financial balances for interactive reporting and analysis. A balances cube is created for each unique combination of ledger and currency, and it contains dimensions such as chart of accounts segments, periods, scenarios, and other user-defined attributes. New dimensions can be added to a balances cube by using the Manage Balances Cube Dimensions task in General Ledger. Balances cubes are updated automatically when journals are posted in General Ledger, and they can also be refreshed manually by using the Refresh Balances Cube task. Balances cubes are not affected by the Translation or Revaluation processes, as these processes only update the balances tables in General Ledger. References:

To achieve the requirement of only single currency journals being entered for this company, you should enable “Limit a Journal to a Single Currency” on both ledger options and journal sources. Ledger options are settings that apply to a specific ledger, such as journal processing options, currency options, and average balance processing options. Journal sources are identifiers that indicate where a journal originated, such as manual entry, subledger accounting, or import. You can enable “Limit a Journal to a Single Currency” on both ledger options and journal sources using the Specify Ledger Options and Manage Journal Sources tasks in Setup and Maintenance. This will enforce single currency journals for journals entered on the Create Journal page and for journals that are imported. You do not need to enable “Limit a Journal to a Single Currency” on journal lookup codes, as these are codes that indicate the status of a journal, such as Entered, Posted, or Reversed. You do not need to enable “Limit a Journal to a Single Currency” on journal category, as this is an attribute that classifies journals by purpose or function, such as Purchase Invoices or Allocations. You do not need to enable “Limit a Journal to a Single Currency” on profile option, as this is a setting that affects the behavior of an application or feature for a user or responsibility. Reference: Oracle Financials Cloud: General Ledger 2022 Implementation Professional Objectives - Define Ledgers 12

According to Oracle documentation2, your users can personalize the Springboards and Work Areas to suit their individual working styles in these two ways: They can format certain tables by hiding and showing columns, moving columns, and resizing columns, and they can use “+” under the Apps section of the News Feed homepage. Springboards and Work Areas are user interface components that enable users to access tasks and information relevant to their roles. Users can customize these components by adding or removing tiles, changing layouts, filtering data, and formatting tables. Therefore, options A and D are correct. Option B is incorrect because users have more control over configuring their Springboards and Work Areas than just resizing columns. Option C is incorrect because users do not need to have the System Administrator configuring pages for them using Page Composer.

The revaluation process is used to adjust account balances denominated in a foreign currency. Revaluation adjustments represent the difference in account balances due to changes in conversion rates between the date of the original journal and the revaluation date. These adjustments are posted through journal entries to the underlying account with the offset posted to an unrealized gain or loss account. The two statements that are true about the resulting revaluation run are:

You have an unrealized exchange loss recorded: Since the ledger currency (USD) has depreciated against the foreign currency (Euro) from the date of the original journal to the revaluation date, the account balance in USD has increased. This means that you have a loss on the

The two true statements for the resulting revaluation run are that you have an unrealized exchange gain recorded and you have an unrealized exchange loss recorded. Revaluation is a process that adjusts foreign currency balances to reflect current exchange rates at period end. Revaluation creates journal entries to record unrealized exchange gains or losses on foreign currency balances based on revaluation rates defined for each currency. In this scenario, you have a balance on the Accounts Payable Liability Account of 100,000 Euros which is equivalent to USD 136,550 at month end. The month end exchange rate for revaluation is 1 Euro = 1.3755 USD. Therefore, after revaluation, your balance on the Accounts Payable Liability Account will be USD 137,550 (100,000 x 1.3755). This means you have an unrealized exchange gain of USD 1,000 (137,550 - 136,550) on your Accounts Payable Liability Account because your liability in foreign currency has decreased in terms of your ledger currency due to exchange rate fluctuations. Revaluation will create a journal entry to debit your Accounts Payable Liability Account by USD 1,000 and credit your Unrealized Exchange Gain Account by USD 1,000 to record this gain. The original journal entry in Euros is not updated by revaluation, as revaluation only creates new journal entries to adjust foreign currency balances in terms of ledger currency based on revaluation rates. There is no unrealized exchange gain or loss calculated by revaluation, as revaluation does calculate unrealized exchange gains or losses on foreign currency balances based on revaluation rates. 

Here are the steps you need to follow:

According to Oracle documentation3, when you need to set up a calendar for the year Apr-XX to Mar-YY where YY is the following year, and you would like the periods to be named according to the year they fall in, you should choose Fiscal Year as the format. A Fiscal Year format enables you to define periods based on fiscal years that span two calendar years. Therefore, option A is correct. Option B is incorrect because a Calendar Year format defines periods based on calendar years that start on January 1st and end on December 31st. Option C is incorrect because a Period format defines periods based on any number of days or weeks. Option D is incorrect because a Year format defines periods based on calendar years that start on any month other than January and end on any month other than December.

 Intercompany processing will balance a journal using the accounts identified here for the UK Ledger when the journal is balanced by the primary balancing segment value (BSV) but not by second or third BSV. A BSV is a segment in the chart of accounts that identifies a legal entity or business unit for which financial statements are prepared and balanced. A primary BSV is required for every ledger and is used to balance journal entries within a ledger. A secondary or tertiary BSV is optional and is used to balance journal entries across different dimensions other than the primary BSV, such as fund or region. Intercompany processing is a feature that enables intercompany transactions between different legal entities or business units within the same enterprise. Intercompany processing uses intercompany balancing rules to generate intercompany receivables and payables accounts for cross-ledger or cross-BSV journals. Intercompany processing will balance a journal using the accounts identified here for the UK Ledger when the journal is balanced by the primary BSV but not by second or third BSV, as this indicates that there is an intercompany transaction between different legal entities or business units within the UK Ledger that requires intercompany balancing. Intercompany processing will not balance a journal using the accounts identified here for the UK Ledger when there is a many-to-many journal and you want to use a clearing company, as this is a scenario that involves multiple legal entities or business units across different ledgers that requires a separate clearing company ledger to perform intercompany balancing. Intercompany processing will not balance a journal using the accounts identified here for the UK Ledger when the journal is not balanced by the primary BSV, as this is an invalid scenario that violates the accounting rules and prevents posting of the journal. Intercompany processing will not balance a journal using the accounts identified here for the UK Ledger when the journal is balanced by second balancing segment value, as this is an incomplete scenario that does not specify whether the journal is also balanced by primary and third BSV. Reference: Oracle Financials Cloud: General Ledger 2022 Implementation Professional Objectives - Configure and Process Intercompany 12
