0EC_PCA_ 1 and balance sheet

Question

Hello Everyone,
I am using datasource 0EC_PCA_1 in full load.  I have created a balance sheet query (via a hierarchy).  My query is showing data incorrectly.  In incorrectly I mean the data doesn't look like it has a begining balance, so the numbers don't seem to match.
Can someone please advise on what to do?  Either how to get a "begining balance" or an actual "ending balance".
Should I be using 0BALANCE or 0DEBIT AND 0CREDIT?
Thanks,  Colleen

You need to include period 000 in your query to get the year b/f
This will bring the HSL00 (or whatever it is called (from memory) from the GLPCT table
To calaculate future balances or ata where there is no movement in a month you need to implement an oss note which puts code into the start routine of the update to the cube
Basically what it does is add the value for 0BALANCE for each period from the period in the record into period +1 up to period = 16
eg
Period 2 balance = 100
comes through
this then posts
Period 2 balance = 100
Period 3 balance = 100
Period 4 balance = 100
Period 5 balance = 100
Period 6 balance = 100
Period 7 balance = 100
Period 8 balance = 100
Period 9 balance = 100
Period 10 balance = 100
Period 11 balance = 100
Period 12 balance = 100
Period 16 balance = 100
then another record comes in in period 3 for 50
Then you get
Period 2 balance = 100
Period 3 balance = 100
Period 3 balance = 50
Period 4 balance = 100
Period 4 balance = 50
Period 5 balance = 100
Period 5 balance = 50
Period 6 balance = 100
Period 6 balance = 50
Period 7 balance = 100
Period 7 balance = 50
Period 8 balance = 100
Period 8 balance = 50
Period 9 balance = 100
Period 9 balance = 50
Period 10 balance = 100
Period 10 balance = 50
Period 16 balance = 100
Period 16 balance = 50
thus when you compress the cube or/and run the query - all looks very nice
