BPC Alternate hierarchy rollup issue - require help

Question

Hi All,
We are seeing a rollup issue on Alternate Hierarchies. We had set-up alternate hierarchies on our Country Dimension (DC) to assist some managerial reporting that is only relevant to one of our Operating segments.
To show the problem, I am listing an example of our Country dimension member sheet. I have put "**" delimiter between the pertinent values to show which columns the values land under.
ID*DescriptionPARENTH1PARENTH2FORMULAH1*FORMULAH2
MAIN_HIER*Main Hier* ** ** ** **
D1*DC EuropeMAIN_HIER* ** ** **
A*Country AD1SG1* ** **
B*Country BD1SG1* ** **
C*Country CD1SG2* ** **
D*Country DD1SG3* ** **
D2--DC India*MAIN_HIER* ** ** **
E*Country ED2--ALT_HIER* ** **
C1*Calc Eur* ** *DC.H1.D1+DC.H1.E* **
ALT_HIER*Alt Hier* ** ** ** **       
SG1*Sub Reg 1* *ALT_HIER* ** ** 
SG2*Sub Reg 2* *ALT_HIER* ** **
SG3*Sub Reg 3* *ALT_HIER* ** **
We have our main Country hierarchy that comes under the root parent MAIN_HIER. In addition to that on our main hierarchy we had a calculated node for Calc Europe (C1) which is supposed to be a summation of DC Europe (D1) + Country E (E). We had created an alternate hierarchy to represent a breakdown by more subregions (SG1, SG2, SG3 and Country E) within DC Europe so basically the root node of the alternate Hierarchy (ALT_HIER) should show the same amounts as the calculated node C1 on the main hierarchy.
If we take a higher level Account dimension member like NET_SALES the values tie out but if we take a base member in the Account Hierarchy (e.g one representing Customer Sales), the values don't match with the ALT_HIER values seem being the wrong ones. It almost seems like the rollups of the Alternate Hierarchy are not accurate.
Could you pls. shed some light on if the dimension member set-up above is wrong from any angle.
BTW, we are on BPC 7.0M SP04 Patch 2 and SQLServer version is SQLServer 2005 EE SP3.
Your insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Abhay:
Please try below...
Add "RollupChildren(Account.Hx.CurrentMember,"+") to all non-base members who don't aggregate properly under FORMULAHx. For instance, I have below hierarchy PARENTH1 for Balance Sheet Total Asset
BALSHEET
TotalAsset
-CurrentAsset
-NonCurrentAsset
If CurrentAsset and NonCurrentAsset all roll up fine but TotalAsset doesn't add up. In your Dimension, put MDX formula RollupChildren(Account.H1.CurrentMember,"+") for TotalAsset and BALSHEET under FORMULAH1.
We have this issue when we created additional hierarchies, and it took us a while to debug before I got this hint from SAP Support. Ever since it works like a charm =)
Hope this helps
