Introduction to Sub Ledger Accounting
SLA is a powerful accounting engine or program with centralized data
model and repository, which generates accounting entries for the
transactions entered in the sub ledger modules.
SLA is a service and not a separate module or application.
SLA forms and programs can be accessed through standard Oracle
Apps Responsibilities.
SLA allows multiple accounting representations for a single transaction
thereby enabling compliance with multiple geographic, regulatory or
business requirements.
SLA also facilitates multi period accounting.

Single step posting to all ledgers at a time.
Real time / online accounting.
