How to Drilldown from General Ledger(GL) to Account Receivables(AR) [or] AR-> GL in R12

How to Drilldown from General Ledger(GL) to Account Receivables(AR) [or] AR-> GL in R12

It can be used to drilldown GL to AR (or) in the reverse way. Here let us try to collect the General Ledger information from the Account receivables information (Receipt Number). All the queries used below were tested in R12.1.1 instance. 

Collecting the sub ledger information (Receipt Information)

Here we collect all the information about the Receipt number from sub-ledger (AR) tables. The most important information and used to link with GL tables is AR_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL.line_id

SELECT acr.receipt_number

      ,acr.cash_receipt_id

      ,ard.line_id  -- This will form a link with GL

      ,ard.source_id

      ,ard.source_table

FROM   ar_cash_receipts_all        acr

      ,ar_cash_receipt_history_all acrh

      ,ar_distributions_all        ard

WHERE  acr.cash_receipt_id          = acrh.cash_receipt_id

AND    acrh.cash_receipt_history_id = ard.source_id

AND    ard.source_table             ='CRH'

AND    acr.receipt_number           ='65465486';

Checking the sub-ledger to General-ledger link tables for gl information

In R12,we have tables that holds link information between any sub ledger and General ledger.

The below query gives you the important columns available in the XLA tables and GL linking columns

SELECT xal.gl_sl_link_id     -- Connects to GL tables

      ,xal.gl_sl_link_table  -- Connects to GL tables

      ,xah.ae_header_id

      ,xah.event_id

      ,xah.entity_id

      ,xah.event_type_code

      ,xah.description

      ,xal.ae_line_num

      ,xal.code_combination_id

      ,xal.accounting_class_code

      ,xal.party_id

      ,xal.party_site_id

      ,xal.party_type_code

      ,xdl.source_distribution_type

      ,xdl.source_distribution_id_num_1

      ,xdl.accounting_line_code

      ,xdl.event_class_code

FROM   xla_ae_headers         xah

      ,xla_ae_lines           xal

      ,xla_distribution_links xdl

WHERE xah.ae_header_id = xal.ae_header_id

AND   xah.ae_header_id = xdl.ae_header_id

AND   xal.ae_line_num  = xdl.ae_line_num

AND   xdl.source_distribution_type = 'AR_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL'

AND   xdl.source_distribution_id_num_1 = 3298;

Collecting the information from GL

Below query collects the information from the GL.

In the below query you the see the linking columns in the first five places and others were some important ones

SELECT glimp.reference_5 ENTITY_ID

      ,glimp.reference_6 EVENT_ID

      ,glimp.reference_7 AE_HEADER_ID

      ,glimp.gl_sl_link_id

      ,glimp.gl_sl_link_table

      ,glb.je_batch_id

      ,glb.name

      ,glb.status

      ,glb.description

      ,glh.je_header_id

      ,glh.je_category

      ,glh.je_source

      ,glh.name

      ,glh.description

      ,glh.running_total_accounted_cr

      ,glh.running_total_accounted_dr

      ,gll.je_line_num

      ,gll.code_combination_id

FROM   gl_import_references glimp

      ,gl_je_batches glb

      ,gl_je_headers glh

      ,gl_je_lines   gll

WHERE  glimp.je_header_id     = glh.je_header_id

AND    glimp.je_line_num      = gll.je_line_num

AND    glimp.je_batch_id      = glb.je_batch_id

AND    glh.je_header_id       = gll.je_header_id

AND    glh.je_batch_id        = glb.je_batch_id

AND    glimp.gl_sl_link_id    = 235004

AND    glimp.gl_sl_link_table = 'XLAJEL';
