Problem:    Changing Automatic Offsets after transactions have already been created and accounted

Symptoms:
Changing Automatic Offsets after transactions have already been created and accounted can cause issues:
ENABLING/DISABLING AUTOMATIC OFFSETS
Current functionality within Oracle Payables allows the value of the Automatic Offset option in the
Payables Option form to be changed at any time. This is because Oracle does recognize that there
could be a business operational change that results in a one-time need to enable or disable
Automatic Offsets. Therefore, Oracle has tried to accommodate for this scenario instead of disallowing
changes to this option that would require a separate operating unit to be created.

However the ability to change this setting is not to be misused and 'toggled' for any reason.
Should you choose to 'toggle' this option, neither Oracle Support nor Oracle Development will support
any problems caused by this. Incorrect accounting or incorrect trial balance accounts are examples
of problems that may arise because of this. You will have to contact Oracle Consulting to have the
accounting and/or trial balance data corrected.


Solution:
If your business is in urgent need for switching the option, you have to:
1- account all your periods and close all of them .
2- Make sure that the reconciliation between Ap and Gl is is perfect, and no in stuck issues , you can use Note 452536.1 & Note 344367.1 .
3-Choose a new fresh period that, HAVE NO TRANSACTIONS YET , to switch the option .
(Switching while in the middle of transactions process cause them to stop accounting, which will be out of support).
4-Review, well, the impact of the change in your business needs.
5-You can search more resources concerning the subject Via Metalink to have additional information .
