Error in Executing Default Logic

Question

Hi,
I included a formula in default logic which is a simple multiplication of two account dimension members:
*BEGIN
[P_ACCT].[#CE0004220] = [P_ACCT].[CE0004210]*[P_ACCT].[CE0004230]
*END
Was able to successfully validate and save the logic. However, when I tried to send data, the system threw an error:
"- Error Message -
Error running default logic (Error checking work status)
          - Rejected record List -
Error converting records: The root element is missing."
Have checked the work status and nothing seems to be amiss. Also, I tried removing the formula from the default logic and then sending the data - this worked.
So there must be some error with the default logic / work status. Could someone please help me out here?
Thanks in advance
Regards,

Hi Meiyalagan,
Can you please indicate which BPC release you are using ?
I would suggest that you first make the following 2 corrections on your formula:
1. Add a "#" to the member on the left of the equal sign
2. Put square brackets around the dimension and member names
[P_ACCT].[#CE0004220] = [P_ACCT].[CE0004210]*[P_ACCT].[CE0004230]
After that, you also may need to setup your workstatus. There are two places where you can defined workstatus.
1. On the application set level, you define a list of the status (like unlocked, submitted, approved, locked, ...) and who is allowed to do what (like that only the manager is allowed to post journal for example)
2. On the application, you indicate which dimension are used to set that workstatus (usually the combination category / entity / time is used to set and track these workstatus)
In the Entity (or the dimension you have the OWNER property), you defined the owner of that entity (can also be a list of user or a team). Each owner of a parent is considered as a manager of that entity. If I for example own the entity France, the owner of the Entity Europe will be considered as my manager (as well as the owner of the Entity World). The settings Owner and Manager are used in the Work Status table on the application set, to define who can do which task and who is allowed to change the workstatus (promote it to the next status).
