In Oracle, Order information is maintained at the header and line level.
The header information is stored in OE_ORDER_HEADERS_ALL and the line information in OE_ORDER_LINES_ALL when the order is entered. The column called FLOW_STATUS_CODE is available in both the headers and lines tables which tell us the status of the order at each stage.
At this stage, the FLOW_STATUS_CODE in OE_ORDER_HEADERS_ALL is ‘Entered’

If you select ‘Yes’, then the program creates one journal entry for each general ledger account.

    Specific Group ID: To import data for a specific source/group ID combination. Choose a specific group ID from the List of Values for the Specific Value field.
    If you do not specify a Group ID, General Ledger imports all data from the specified journal entry source, where the Group_ID is null.
