Conversion Files - many to one mapping

Question

Folks,
This is something that used to work fine in BPC MS but NW is giving me trouble with the data load. We've setup a custom BW cube as a source to our BPC consolidation application.
On a Consolidation App we don't need all ECC accounts and we simply consolidate many of them into a single consolidation account.
Let's say I have this source data from the custom cube:
Account1, $100
Account2, $200
Account3, $300
And this mapping table for the Account dimension:
Account1, ConsAccount1
Account2, ConsAccount1
Account3, ConsAccount1
I would expect BPC to load this final data into BPC Consolidation cube:
ConsAccount1, $600
But it isn't happening and marks a warning and nothing gets loaded in the cube.
This is very common in Planning / Consolidation apps and I won't expect users to maintain conversions using BW directly as it goes against all benefits BPC provides to Finance people.
Any way I can get out of this?
Thanks
Paulo

Hi Paulo,
there are two ways to put data on BPC cube, either using IMPORT FROM INFOPROVIDER or UPLOADING a flatfile.
If you want to map many to one,you will need a conversion file.
EXTERNAL                    INTERNAL
ACCOUNT1                   BPC_ACC
ACCOUNT2                   BPC_ACC
Hope this helps.
