Business Scenario:

Balance Carry Forward: The closing balance of one year will normally equal the

opening balance of the following year. Therefore, the first task for a new fiscal year

is to carry forward the balance from the previous year. In general, the purpose of

balance carry forward is to:

• Create opening balances in the new fiscal year

• Assign current year retained earnings to prior year retained earnings

• Roll up prior year values into new year opening balances if necessary

Account Reclassification: Account transformation rule enables us to reclassify the

data or records. This business rule is used to calculate cash flow and perform other

realignments of data. That is why this rule is also called account transformation. In

general the purpose of this rule in general to:

• Perform cash flow calculations

• Calculate annual net income and post it to retained earnings

• Book subsidiary finished goods into corporate work in process inventory

• Realign any other data or records as per the business requirements

Solution Building Blocks for BCF and Account

Reclassification:

• Data

• Model

• Dimensions

• Properties

• Business Rule Table

• Logic

• Data Manager

• Report

Model: Finance or Consolidation

(Standard model does not support business rules)

Dimensions: Following are the required dimensions

We also require a rate model with the following dimensions:

It is important to note that the Category and Time dimensions should be the same in both of

these models.

Dimension Name Dimension Type

ACCOUNT_BCF_AT A – Account

AUDIT_BCF_AT D – Audit

CATEGORY_BCF_AT C – Category

ENTITY_BCF_AT E – Entity

FLOW_BCF_AT S – Subtables

RPTCURR_BCF_AT R – Currency

TIME_BCF_AT T – Time

Dimension Name Dimension Type

ACCOUNT_EX_RATE A – Account

CATEGORY_BCF_AT C – Category

ENTITY_EX_RATE E – Entity

INPTCURR_EX_RATE R – Currency

TIME_BCF_AT T – Time

________________________________________________________________________

Supporting Properties: The properties are one of the most important

building blocks (for the BCF business rule). There is no required

property for the account reclassification business rule.

Supporting properties for the BCF are as follows:

Property ID Dimension to Which It Belongs

FLOW_TYPE S- Subtables

COPYOPENING D-Audit

OPENING_DATASRC D-Audit

DATASRC_TYPE D-Audit

CATEGORY_FOR_OPE C- Category

OPENING_YEAR C- Category

OPENING_PERIOD C- Category

FLOW_TYPE: This property identifies which FLOW member is

associated with the opening values and which one is associated with the

closing values. The relevant values for the property are: OPENING,

CLOSING and NONE.

COPYOPENING: This property is used to include or exclude an AUDIT

TRAIL member in the BCF process. The relevant values are: “Y” and “N”.

Y stands for YES and N stands for No.

OPENING_DATASRC: This property specifies the particular destination

DATA SOURCE (AUDIT TRAIL member) that the opening balances

should be written to. This property helps to map between opening and

closing data sources (or AUDIT TRAIL members). This property can take

________________________________________________________________________







01/01/2012


any valid AUDIT TRAIL member ID. If left blank, the system will assume

that the source and destination AUDIT TRAIL members are the same.

DATASRC_TYPE: This property can take three values- “I” (Input), “M”

(Manual) and “A” (Automatic). The BCF process works only for those

AUDIT TRAIL members who have this property value flagged as I or M.

The consolidation process carries forward the automatic values by

default.

CATEGORY_FOR_OPE: This property specifies the CATEGORY from

which to copy the closing balances (to create the opening balances). If

left blank, the system will assume that the source and destination

categories are the same. This property is used when final closing

balances are not available at the opening period and an alternative

category (such as “ESTIMATE” for the “BUDGET”) is used for the

opening balances.

OPENING_PERIOD: This property specifies the YEAR from which to

copy the closing balances (to create the opening balances). This

property can take an absolute value such as 2011 or 2012 or an offset

value such as -2 or -1.The offset values are based on the offset from the

current year. If left blank the system assumes that the closing balances

are copied from the last year.

OPENING_PERIOD: This property specifies the PERIOD from which to

take the closing balances (to create the opening balances). This property

can take an absolute value such as FEBRUARY or MARCH or an offset

value such as -2 or -1.The offset values are based on the offset from the

________________________________________________________________________







01/01/2012


last period in the prior year. If left blank the system assumes that the

closing balances are copied from the last period in the prior year.

________________________________________________________________________







01/01/2012


Business Rule Table:

The business rule table controls the record selection process. The

record selection process is controlled by populating the source and

destination fields. Here we can select accounts that are to be moved, as

well as other dimension members associated with such accounts.

Business Rule Table for the Balance Carry Forward Process:

Source Account: This specifies the ACCOUNT member from which to

copy the closing balances (to create the opening balances). This could be

a base member, a parent member or a Dimlist property value.

Source Flow: This specifies the FLOW member from which to move the

closing balances (to create the opening balances). This could be a base

member, a parent member or a Dimlist property value.

Source Data Source: This specifies the AUDIT TRAIL member from

which to move the closing balances (to create the opening balances).

This could be a base member, a parent member, or a Dimlist property

value.

________________________________________________________________________







01/01/2012


Destination Account: This specifies the ACCOUNT member where the

openings balances will be copied. This could be a base member or a

parent member. If left blank, the system will assume that the source and

destination account members are the same.

Destination Flow: This specifies the FLOW member where the

openings balances will be created. This could be a base member or a


destination flow members are the same.

Destination Data Source: This specifies the AUDIT TRAIL member

where the openings balances will be copied. This could be a base

member or a parent member. If left blank, the system will assume that

the source and destination audit trail members are the same.

Reverse Sign: If checked, this will reverse the sign of the source value.

This is used when we have to reverse the opening balances for some

children who are selected automatically with a parent member. This

could also be used when the source and destination accounts have

different “Account Types”.

Data Source Type: This is to select the data source type to include “I”

(Input), “M” (Manual), or “A” (All).

Same Period: If checked, the closing balance period is the same as that

of the opening balance period. Otherwise the closing period will be the

last period of the prior year. The opening balance time is specified in the

data manager prompt.

________________________________________________________________________







01/01/2012


Apply to YTD: This option is used in a periodic model to move/copy

YTD values.

Business Rule Table for the Account Reclassification Process:

We can create multiple rules with different ID names under the account

reclassification business rule. These rules then are then called by

different logic files though the process chain remains the same. The

following rule with ID “CF” has been created to calculate the cash flows.

Source Account: This specifies the ACCOUNT member from which to

move/copy the data or record. This could be a base member, a parent

member or a Dimlist property value.

Category: This specifies the CATEGORY member from which to



Source Flow: This specifies the FLOW member from which to



________________________________________________________________________







01/01/2012


Source Data Source: This specifies the AUDITTRAIL member from

which to move/copy the data or record. This could be a base member, a

parent member or a Dimlist property value.

Destination Account: This specifies the ACCOUNT member where the

data or record is to be copied. This could be a base member or a parent

member. If left blank, the system will assume that the source and


Destination Category: This specifies the CATEGORY member where

the data or record is to be copied. This could be a base member or a



Destination Flow: This specifies the FLOW member where the data or

record is to be copied. This could be a base member or a parent

member. If left blank, the system will assume that the source and


Destination Data Source: This specifies the AUDIT TRAIL member

where the data or record is to be copied. This could be a base member

or a parent member. If left blank, the system will assume that the source

and destination account members are the same.

Reverse Sign: If checked, this will reverse the sign of the source value.

Source Period and Source Year: This is to specify the year and period

from which to copy the data or record. If left blank, the source year and

________________________________________________________________________







01/01/2012


period is same as that of the destination year and period. Destination

time is specified in the data manager prompt.

Apply to YTD: This option is used in a periodic model to move/copy

YTD values.

Level: This controls the sequence of execution for each row.

________________________________________________________________________







01/01/2012


Logic and Data Manager:

Logic for Balance Carry Forward Process

The Data Manager uses the process chain /CPMB/OPENING_BALANCES

and executes the logic contained in the file COPYOPENING.LGF

Logic for Account Reclassification

It is important to note that the “CF” in CALC=CF is the ID given under

Account Reclassification/Transformation business rule.

________________________________________________________________________







01/01/2012


The Data Manager uses the process chain /CPMB/RUNCALCACCOUNT

and executes the logic contained in the file CALC_ACCOUNT.LGF

Report: We will look at the reports later when we will run the business

rules.
