As part of the transition to Oracle, a new account coding string was created. As much as possible, the values that were used in Lawson will remain the same in Oracle. However, they may have changed to a different account segment. The following resources are available to help you determine what account coding should be used in Oracle.
Please contact accounting@stolaf.edu if you have questions about what account coding to use.

Oracle Account Structure
G/L Account Values
A listing of the account segment values can be viewed from the Financial Reporting page of Oracle. Under the “Departmental Transaction Reports” section, select “Chart of Account Values.” An Excel file will be automatically downloaded. You can then search for a value to see what account segment it is categorized as.
Lawson to Oracle Mapping Table
A mapping table was created to help determine the coding that should be used in Oracle based on what was used with Lawson. Only account segment combinations that had been used in Lawson since fiscal year 2021 will be included in the mapping table. The mapping table is available at the following link.
Please note that this mapping table should not be used for grants or capital projects. Please contact Greta Anderson (andersog@stolaf.edu) if you have questions about how to code to a grant. Please contact Tara Thieling (theil1@stolaf.edu) if you have questions about how to code to a capital project.
