The automatic adjustments detail table defines the details of the automatic adjustment rules and their behavior. These rules control the association of each automatic adjustment rule with the existing ACCOUNTS and, among other things, controls the ID of the ACCOUNTS into which a given account is transformed.

Field Name

Description

Adjustment ID

The identifier for the adjustment rule.

Source account

This field may contain the following values:

  • A valid base level or parent member ID from the ACCOUNT dimension

  • A list of members of the ACCOUNT dimension, as defined filtering the members using a value of the DIMLIST property (or any property whose name begins with DIMLIST) in such dimension.

  • A list of members of the ACCOUNT dimension, as defined filtering the members using a value of the TYPELIM property (or any property whose name begins with TYPELIM) in such dimension.

Reverse sign

If “Y” the value of the SIGNEDDATA amount is reversed.

Destination All account

This field defines the ID of the first of four possible destination accounts. It is linked to the ALL formula field of the Consolidation Rules Formulas table, which defines how the amount is generated.

This field may contain the following values:

  • Blank (the destination Account is equal to the source Account)

  • A valid base level or parent member ID of the ACCOUNT dimension

  • A list of members of the ACCOUNT dimension, as defined by filtering the members using a value of the DIMLIST or the TYPELIM property (or any property whose name begins with DIMLIST or TYPELIM) in the dimension.

  • A list of members of the ACCOUNT dimension, as defined by filtering the members using a value of the DIMLIST property (or any property whose name begins with DIMLIST) in the dimension.

  • The expression PROP(PropertyName), where PropertyName is the name of a valid PROPERTY in the ACCOUNT dimension. In this case, the destination account is the value of the property for the current source ACCOUNT.

Use caution when the destination represents a list of accounts, as multiple records is generated.

Destination Group account

This field defines the ID of the second of four possible destination accounts. It is linked to the Group formula field from the Consolidation Rules Formulas table, which defines how the amount is generated.

This field may contain the same elements as defined in the Destination All account field. However, if left blank, it does not default to the source account, but generates no record.

Destination Minority account

This field defines the ID of the third of four possible destination accounts. It is linked to the Minority formula field from the Consolidation Rules Formulas table, which defines how the amount is generated.

This field may contain the same elements as defined in the Destination All account field. However, if left blank, it does not default to the source account, but generates no record.

Destination Equity account

This field defines the ID of the fourth of four possible destination accounts, and has a behavior of its own. The value is linked to the ALL formula field of the Consolidation Rules Formulas table, which defines how the amount is generated. However, it applies only to the Equity methods. The account defined in this field replaces the value of the Destination All account field, in case the current ENTITY is being consolidated using a METHOD of type E (Equity). This field may contain the same elements as defined in the Destination "All account field. If left blank, the definitions of the ALL formula field apply.

Rule ID

This field must contain the name of a valid Rule ID from the Consolidation Rules table. This rule is used to define how to calculate the amount of the different destination accounts.

Source flow

This field may be used to restrict the applicability of the current Elimination to some members of the FLOW dimension. It may contain:

  • Blank (any FLOW members)

  • A valid base level or parent member ID from the FLOW dimension

  • A list of members of the FLOW dimension, as defined filtering the members using a value of the DIMLIST property (or any property whose name begins with DIMLIST) in such dimension.

Destination flow

This field can be used to enforce the ID of the member of the FLOW dimension. It only supports an explicit FLOW ID or can be left blank to leave the member unchanged.

Force closing

This field can be set to Y to force the generation of an additional record where the member of the destination FLOW is the closing balance. The closing balance member of the FLOW dimension is identified as the member with the property FLOW_TYPE = CLOSING.

Forced Intco member

This field can be used to enforce the ID of the member of the INTCO dimension. It only supports an explicit INTCO ID or can be left blank to leave the member unchanged.

Swap Entity - Intco

This field may contain the following values:

  • Blank or N: Nothing should be changed

  • Y: The ID of the Entity dimension member is swapped with the ID of the INTCO dimension member.

Apply to periodic

This field should only be used in a YTD application for the cases in which the ownership percentage should be applied on the PERIODIC values and not on the YTD values.

If this field is set to Y, the engine calculates the difference between current period and prior period amounts. The engine applies to the field the Ownership percentage specified in the ALL formula, Group formula, and Minority formula fields of the Consolidation Rules table. At the end, the result is added back to prior period’s value as written in current period.
