The FV_FACTS_ENDING_BALANCES table is a critical component within Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) Financials modules, specifically in versions 12.1.1 and 12.2.2. This table serves as a repository for storing ending balance information for various financial facts, playing a pivotal role in financial reporting, analytics, and reconciliation processes. It is part of the Oracle Financial Services Analytical Applications (OFSAA) framework, which integrates with Oracle EBS to provide enhanced financial intelligence capabilities. ### **Purpose and Functionality** The primary purpose of the FV_FACTS_ENDING_BALANCES table is to store aggregated financial data at the end of accounting periods. This includes balances for assets, liabilities, equity, revenue, and expenses, which are essential for generating financial statements, regulatory reports, and management dashboards. The table captures data at different levels of granularity, including ledger, legal entity, cost center, and account combinations, ensuring flexibility in reporting and analysis. ### **Key Columns and Structure** The table contains several critical columns that define its structure and functionality: 1. **PERIOD_NAME**: Identifies the accounting period (e.g., month, quarter) for which the balance is recorded. 2. **LEDGER_ID**: References the general ledger associated with the balance. 3. **CODE_COMBINATION_ID**: Links to the accounting flexfield (GL accounts) in Oracle General Ledger. 4. **ACTUAL_FLAG**: Distinguishes between actual, budget, or forecast balances. 5. **CURRENCY_CODE**: Specifies the currency in which the balance is stored. 6. **END_BALANCE_DR** and **END_BALANCE_CR**: Store debit and credit ending balances, respectively. 7. **ENTERED_DR** and **ENTERED_CR**: Track entered amounts in transaction currency. 8. **ACCOUNTED_DR** and **ACCOUNTED_CR**: Store amounts converted to the ledger currency. ### **Integration with Oracle EBS Modules** The FV_FACTS_ENDING_BALANCES table integrates with multiple Oracle EBS modules, including: - **General Ledger (GL)**: Primary source of accounting entries. - **Subledger Accounting (SLA)**: Captures detailed transactional data before summarization. - **Financial Reporting (FSG)**: Uses the table for generating financial statements. - **Oracle Business Intelligence (OBIEE)**: Leverages the table for analytical reporting. ### **Data Population Process** Data in this table is populated through: 1. **Period-End Close Processes**: Balances are updated during the GL period-end closing. 2. **Data Conversion and Migration**: Used during implementations or upgrades. 3. **ETL Processes**: Extracted, transformed, and loaded from source systems into this table. ### **Performance Considerations** Given its role in financial reporting, the FV_FACTS_ENDING_BALANCES table can grow significantly over time. Key performance optimization strategies include: - **Partitioning**: By period or ledger to improve query performance. - **Indexing**: On frequently queried columns like PERIOD_NAME and CODE_COMBINATION_ID. - **Purging Archival Data**: Removing obsolete records to maintain optimal performance. ### **Conclusion** The FV_FACTS_ENDING_BALANCES table is a foundational element in Oracle EBS 12.1.1 and 12.2.2, enabling accurate financial reporting and analysis. Its integration with core financial modules ensures consistency and reliability in financial data management. Proper maintenance and optimization of this table are essential for supporting enterprise-wide financial operations and compliance requirements.
