Performance Considerations
Setup data flattening programs to speed up queries and
data processing
General Ledger Accounting Setup Program
Setup Flattening Program for Table Validated Value Sets

Costs for creating and dropping interim tables are

reduced by using global temporary tables.
Improvements allow you to run programs and reports
across ledger sets.
You can post to multiple ledgers at one time.
The new program, Posting: Single Ledger, retains the
same compatibility rules with Open Period and
Translation as in Release 11i.
