Configuring Zuora Finance

Configuring Segments

A segment is an association with a field on a Zuora object. After configuring segments, data for these segments is automatically included in your journal entries.

To configure segments, click your username at the top right and navigate to Settings > Finance > Configure Segments. For more information, see Configuring Segments.

When you perform a journal run, you may add segments to a segmentation rule to determine how your transactions are segmented into journal entries.

Configuring general ledger segmentation rules

A general ledger segmentation rule determines how your journal entries are segmented when you perform a journal run. A general ledger segmentation rule contains a set of segments, and transactions are grouped into summary journal entries according to the transactions' values for those segments.

Transactions are grouped into summary journal entries based on the following fields:

• Transaction type
• Currency
• Debit account
• Fields associated with the active general ledger segmentation rule

To configure GL segmentation rules, click your username at the top right and navigate to Settings > Finance > Configure GL Segmentation Rules.

For more information, see Configuring GL Segmentation Rules.

Creating a journal run

Journal runs create journal entries suitable for importing into your general ledger. 

To create a journal run, click Finance > Journal Runs and click New Journal Run.
