Subledger Accounting (XLA) event model
Each subledger transaction is an entity (XLA_TRANSACTION_ENTITIES) that raises accounting events (XLA_EVENTS). Create Accounting turns events into journal headers/lines (XLA_AE_HEADERS / XLA_AE_LINES); XLA_DISTRIBUTION_LINKS ties each transaction distribution to its journal line, and GL_IMPORT_REFERENCES bridges the posted GL line back to XLA.
GL ledgers, periods and journal import
A ledger (GL_LEDGERS) has a chart of accounts, currency and calendar; period open/close is GL_PERIOD_STATUSES per application. External journals stage in GL_INTERFACE for Import Journals, which creates GL_JE_BATCHES / GL_JE_HEADERS / GL_JE_LINES, and GL_IMPORT_REFERENCES keeps the drilldown to the subledger.
