Data at ECA and PCA

Question

Hi!
I can see data at PCA and ECA, but I have not posted any journal. This issue makes all balances... unbalanced. Could it be a rule populating this nodes (PCA and ECA)?
I've noticed some rules whose values are not explicit. Does it mean that these rules apply for the whole value tree (including PCA and ECA)? Is it possible to restrict these rules so they only perform at EC, ECT, PC, PCT and Prop?
Thanks!

Answer 1

Yes, if a value restriction is not placed around the rules, then the rules will run for all value dimensions which can easily result in data being stored in the ECA/PCA value dimension.
Once data is loaded there, the only way to clear it out is usually through a clear routine in the rules.
The solution is to do a check for the following
Preventing a rule from running at ECA is easy, just check:
If HS.Value.Member <> "<Entity Curr Adjs>" Then
'Do your code
end If
<Parent Curr Adjs> is not actually calculated. So you need to change things up a little to do this one. With a USD Parent, it would actually be HS.Value.Member = "USD Adjs". But the better approach is the following:
If HS.Value.IsTranscurAdj <> True Then
'Do your code
End If
You can combine the two lines to rule out both.
Edit:
Also, be careful with rules running a PC as they can override your naturally translated amount, making it so your system doesn't use the Exchange Rates. The rules don't run at ECT or PCT since ECT = EC + ECA no matter what. Same with PCT.
