Data validation in SAP BPC 7.5 NW

Question

Hello,
I have a (i guess) simple question... i want to make sure that every user has send there data to the database and therefore i would like to make a validation just based on the fact whether they have send data or not.
I was thinking about a solution to add an few (dummy) members in a dimension and add this dummymember in every input schedule i want to make sure that the data is send. In the validation report i retrieve the data from these dummy account to verify if the data has send succesfully?
Is this a good sollution or are there easier ways to do this?
Thanks in advance!

Hi
I think both the BPF and the solution suggested by you would work well.
In the solution suggested by you, if you are planning to use the EVSND function , the you can probably throw some more slice & dice by checking the status by regions/country (example)
for example assuming , your IS has 150 gl accounts for which data is to be sent , and the entity & region/country would change for different users ,then you  can use evsnd function and refer the  same region/country  which is chosen by the user and also check for data values <> "0" and by a IF condition you can alternate between "DATA Sent" & DATA Not sent dummy account members.
But if you are doing at individual account level , then this method would back fire (considering my above example )as it will not provide you with a robust validaton and will take a toll on the performance.
Hope this helps
Thanks
