Function documentationUS Eliminations Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

A US Elimination books the eliminated transaction into an elimination entity and account between entity and intercompany. The driving elements of this procedure are:

  • The ELIM property of entity dimension

  • The ELIMACC property of account dimension

  • The US Elimination rule assigned to each DataSrc to elimination

You run this rule by calling the stored procedure SPRUNELIM(parameters list). This stored procedure performs the eliminations driven by the hierarchies in the Entity dimension and writes the elimination in an Entity member (property ELIM=Y).

*RUN_STORED_PROCEDURE = SpRunElim ([%APP%], [%CATEGORY_SET%], [%TIME_SET%], [], [H1], [%LOGTABLE%],[%SCOPETABLE%])

The stored procedure requires several parameters that must be passed to it in the correct order and format, as described below.
