GL_LEDGERS

Product: GLmaster

One row per ledger — currency, calendar, chart of accounts, and accounting convention; the ledger context business units and subledgers resolve to

Module: FoundationNot org-partitioned
Notes

Ledger SETS share this table: OBJECT_TYPE_CODE discriminates ledger vs ledger-set rows — filter it or ledger counts inflate. LEDGER_CATEGORY_CODE separates primary from secondary and reporting-currency ledgers.

What the badges mean
master
Data class: what the table holds — master data, transaction documents, control/configuration, interface/staging, or a documented view.
In field listings, K marks a primary-key field.

Extract access

The delivered surfaces that reach this table — the BICC extract data store (PVO) for bulk extraction and the OTBI subject areas for real-time queries. There is no SQL path to the SaaS database.

  • FscmTopModelAM.FinExtractAM.GlBiccExtractAM.LedgerExtractPVO

    Ledgers data store (ledger currency, calendar, period type, chart of accounts). In OTBI, ledgers surface as the Ledger dimension inside the General Ledger subject areas.

Boilerplate SQL

Starting point for reading the BICC-landed copy of GL_LEDGERSon Databricks — real DATE columns need no conversion, and the org anchor and the LAST_UPDATE_DATE watermark (the column incremental BICC extracts key on) are already in place. Set your Unity Catalog location, schema, and org values below; they’re substituted into the SQL and the copy button.

Query parameters
-- ============================================================
-- Table  : GL_LEDGERS — One row per ledger — currency, calendar, chart of accounts, and accounting convention; the ledger context business units and subledgers resolve to
-- Purpose: Column-selected read of GL_LEDGERS — auto-generated from field metadata
-- Grain  : One row per LEDGER_ID
-- Notes  : Auto-generated skeleton for Oracle Fusion Cloud data landed in your lakehouse by a BICC extract — there is no SQL path to the SaaS database. Column names follow Oracle's table documentation — if your landed data still carries PVO attribute headers, map names first; see quirks #pvo-drift. Dates are real DATE/TIMESTAMP columns — no conversion needed. WHO audit columns omitted (see the quirks guide); the optional LAST_UPDATE_DATE watermark filter supports incremental extracts.
