• For each child value, you assign an Extended Account Type.
• You can choose from one of the general choices to mark the account value as an Asset, Liability,
Owner’s Equity, Revenue, or Expense account.
• All account values must be assigned account type.
• If the account is used by Rapid Implementation solution to automate the creation of required setup
objects in the various modules of Oracle Fusion Financials, such as ledgers for General Ledger,
common options for Payables, or receipt methods for Receivables, select the appropriate Expanded
Account Type for that child account.
• Examples of expanded account types required for setup objects are Owner’s Equity - Retained
Earnings, Liability - Accounts Payable, and Asset - Accounts Receivable.
• For accounts that are tagged with these more specialized account types, the Financial Category is
defaulted.
• You can override the defaulted Financial Category or leave it out.
• From R13, use these Extended Account Type to automatically create Financial Reports:
• Revenue – Top Revenues Parent Account
• Expense – Top Cost of Sales Parent Account
• Expense – Top Operating Expenses Parent Account
