FDM Fixed-Width Import Format & Multiple Accounts/Periods Issue

Hi FDM experts,
I have an issue that I wanted to reach out to you on regarding fixed-width import formats and how to cater for my current scenario for export to Hyperion Planning.
I am working with a flat file (.txt) I need to import to FDM with the current format;
A
B
C
D
E
F
G
Z
Year
Channel
Product
Jan-MTD-Account 1
Jan-MTD-Account 2
Jan-YTD-Account1
Jan-YTD-Account2
Dec-YTD-Account2
2013
Channel_1
Product_1
1000
2000
1000
2000
10000
These are all fixed in width so the field lengths will need to be defined in the import format. The requirement for loading to the system is only a speciifc Month YTD value for both Account1 and Account 2.
If my chosen Month is 2013 Jan, I will only require columns F and G to be loaded. These are the issues I have identified;
Can a fixed width import format cater for loading to multiple accounts in the same file? Or would I need a separate import format per account?
Can a fixed width import format cater for loading to a variable Actual Month period? Or do I need 12 import formats/locations per month?
Your help is much appreciated!
Many thanks
Aaron

Hi Aaron,
the solution you are looking for needs pivoting your source file.
Think that FDM, by default, only accepts files with one single column for amount. You have to pivot your file based on your logic and import the pivoted file.
For example:
Year     Channel     Product     ... Jan-YTD-Acc1     Jan-YTD-Acc2 ...
2013     CH1          PR1               1000                    2000
If your POV is Jan-2013, your data imported will look like:
Year     Channel     Produc     Account     Amount
2013     CH1          PR1          ACC1          1000
2013     CH1          PR1          ACC2          2000
All this process can be automated by playing with Import Scripts.

Multiple Accounting Periods

Does Oracle Financials Support Multiple account periods ( Future Periods or 13th Periods as they are called)
basically we are dealing with a Multi - national company , they have different accounting periods for different countries they work in (Jan - Dec 31 in US, April 1 - March 31 for their Australia Ops)
ultimately they want to use oracle financials globally for all their accounting , the challenge we have right now is we can have only 1 "13th period" in which we can post adjusting entries, so we can either use it for the US or Australia.
any ideas ?

Hello.
You can define multiple calendars and assign a different calendar to each set of books. For example, you can use a monthly calendar for one set of books, and a quarterly calendar for another.
Each set of books has an associated period type. When you assign a calendar to a set of books, the set of books only accesses the periods with the appropriate period type. Thus, you can define an accounting calendar with periods of more than one period type; however, each set of books will only use periods of a single period type.
For example, you could define a Week period type and specify 52 periods per year. You can assign up to 366 accounting periods per fiscal year for any period type, and maintain actual balances for those periods. However, for budgets you can only use the first 60 periods.
For example, assume you have a July 1 to June 30 fiscal year and the current date is July 15, 1995. If you choose the Calendar year type, General Ledger appends the year 1995 to the period name (JUL-95) because July begins in 1995. If you choose the Fiscal year type, General Ledger appends 1996 to the period name (JUL-96) because the fiscal year ends in 1996.
Using the same July to June fiscal year example, if the current date is March 15, 1995 and you choose the Fiscal year type, General Ledger appends the year 1995 to the period name because the fiscal year ends in 1995.

May the Same CD Be Imported to Multiple Accounts?

If a friend lends me a CD that he has already imported to his iTunes account on his computer, am I allowed to import it to my account on my computer? I want to know if this is possible or if it violates the terms of service (or copyright law) somehow.

Confirming what The Fiend said, it would absolutely break the law. It would be just as if your friend made a copy of the CD and gave you the copy. If you want that CD, your friend will have to delete all the imported tracks and any other copies and then give you the original CD. Or you will need to buy your own copy.
Regards.

Fixed width field format in txt file

I want to create text file for sending to bank. Every row in the text file is of variable length. For Ex: 1st row contains name and a fixed length of 33 char. 2nd row contains company and fixed length of 12 char.
Howewer when i download the data using GUI_DOWNLOAD it is taking the row with full length i.e. 256 char that of the internal table line.
If I use the truncate trailing blanks parameter, it removes all the spaces that are on the right of the name. what is our requirement is that irrespective of whatever is the actual length of the name it should take only 33 characters in first row. (ie If i place cursor on first character and press END button on keypad the cursor must move to 34 char).
But at present what is happening is that it is either moving to the actual end of the name or column 256 ie the end of line.
Any help to this will be highly appreciated.

You have to move the contents to a string variable. Put the Line feed(cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline) or CR_LF (cl_abap_char_utilities=>dr_lf) at the offset as required by you.
Download the file as 'BIN' using GUI_DOWNLOAD. You have to pass the length as the length of the string variable.
Try this & come back if you have any doubts.

Multiple Account Assignment issue with BAPI_PO_CREATE1 for service POs

Whle creating service PO through BAPI_PO_CREATE1, The account assignments at the service line items were not being added correctly at the item level, instead they are getting split further wrt tax jurisdiction. This is occuring when an item have multiple service line items with mutltiple account assignments.

ICloud multiple account syncing issues

My dad and I have 2 separate iCloud accounts. We both have iPads and iPhones. Both devices are synced to both of our separate accounts; individual accounts to each of our corrasponding devices. However, when he opens his contacts, his contacts list shows my contacts for some odd reason. Nothing else is synced by our iClouds but simply our contacts. I have spent hours on this issues, troubleshooting multiple times. I'm extremely current with technology (being 20), especially Apple products, but for some reason I cannot seem to resolve this issue. Why is this happening?

Strange... That shouldn't be possible unless there were another device, such as his computer, that is syncing with your account with contact syncing enabled; or if one of you has set up the other's iCloud account as a secondary account in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars and enabled contacts syncing.

I recently set up multiple accounts and when I was trying to figure out how to share files I messed up something in my documents. Everytime I open a doc from the ADMIN account, a box pops up that says "The file is not in the correct format" how to fix?

I recently set up multiple accounts on my imac, When I was trying to figure out how to share the documents I must have done something wrong. When logged into the Admin account, I open up any document and I get a message box that says, "The Document could not be opened. The file isn't in the correct format. The file might be corrupted, truncated, or in an unexpected format." What did I do and how do I fix it?

Without knowing what you did it is impossible to give advice on how to correct it.
If these were files you copied over from some other system then just Re-Copy them replacing the ones that are corrupted.
Other then that I suggest you Wipe the drive and start over with a clean reinstall of the OS and programs. Then if you want to share files to All Accounts place those files in a folder in the ROOT of the drive.

FDM Import Format Spec with multiple Amount Fields

Hello,
I'm in the process of setting up an Import specification for one of our sites and the source extract consists of the following fields:
Source Account Description BegBalDR BegBalCr YTDDR YTDCR
01-511-5110     Inventory Adjustment     1,754.00     0     0     14,844.76
I'm am trying to Import Field 5 & 6 and net them if necessary (example: YTDDR - YTDCR) and I continue to get an error. I have tried several diffrent ways but it seems that I can only import one or the other. After reading the FDM Admin guide I am wondering if I need to create a custom Script to accomplish this task.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Tony

This might be slightly complicated, but I think its the most direct solution ........
Step 1 -
In your Import Format, assign the Amount as :
FieldName, Start, Length, Expression
Amount, 1, 1, Script=NetAmounts5and6.uss
Step 2 -
Create an Import (DataPump) script called NetAmounts5and6 with the following code :
Function NetAmount5and6(strField, strRecord)
'Hyperion FDM DataPump Import Script:
'Created By:     cbeyer
'Date Created:     2/13/2009 5:57:14 PM
'Purpose:
'Get the last two fields
Dim tmpRecord
Dim strCurrentChar
Dim strYTDCR
Dim strYTDDR
Dim x
'Initialize fields
tmpRecord = strRecord
'Ensure we have data
If Trim(tmpRecord) = "" Then Exit Function
strYTDCR = ""
strYTDDR = ""
'Get YTD CR
'One could use the replace command to change all spaces to a delimittable field and then
'split out the string into a one dimensional array using the split command; however,
'This would only work best if there is an exact number of spaces between the two numbers
'Since I do not know if this is true, instead i'm looking for numeric/numeric like characters
'and splitting based off of that.
For x = Len(tmpRecord) To 1 Step -1
strCurrentChar = Mid(tmpRecord,x,1)
If (IsNumeric(strCurrentChar) Or strCurrentChar = "$" Or strCurrentChar = "." Or strCurrentChar = "," ) Then
strYTDCR = strCurrentChar & strYTDCR
Else
Exit For
End If
Next
'Trim down temporary record holder to remove the previous found amount and white space at the end of the string
tmpRecord = RTrim(Left(tmpRecord,x)) 'Remove the first number from the string and white space
'Get YTD DR
For x = Len(tmpRecord) To 1 Step -1
strCurrentChar = Mid(tmpRecord,x,1)
If (IsNumeric(strCurrentChar) Or strCurrentChar = "$" Or strCurrentChar = "." Or strCurrentChar = "," ) Then
strYTDDR = strCurrentChar & strYTDDR
Else
Exit For
End If
Next
'do the math
If IsNumeric(strYTDCR) And IsNumeric(strYTDDR) Then
NetAmount5and6 = strYTDDR - strYTDCR
Else
NetAmount5and6 = 0 'This will cause the record to fail on import
End If
End Function

Multiple import formats in one FDM application....?

I wanted to know in my situation where there are 15 EBS Set of Books. whether it is possible to use only 1 FDM application to import all these data into my HFM application.
My ERPi application is like this :
1 source application that is EBS.
1 target application that is HFM.
15 EBS Set of books, for which i think i have to create 15 import formats in ERPi for each set of books. this also implies to the locations.
then I have to do the common period mapping and category mapping.
in the Data load Setup: I have to select each location and do the member mapping. create a data load rule for each location.
FDM Application:
i already have an FDM application which i am using to import data from EBS to HFM using ERPi, till now i have only used 1 set of books just to verify that everything is working fine. now as everything is working fine with the application, I want to add additional import formats in the existing FDM application to answer the import formats and locations created in the ERPi application.
Is it possible to do like this, if so then i need your assistance in achieving this task.
please put your comments in this regards.
Thanks,
Shantan Kommera

You can do this by specifiying the appropriate data load rule to be used by ERPi within Integration Option 1 in the location. This will kick off the data load rule you specify in ERPi that should be tied to the corresponding set of books in EBS.

FDM - Import Format (Fixed Column Type - No Delimiter)

Hello,
Question on FDM. I've built an import format and successfully imported a Fixed Column type text file. Everything imports beautifully. FYI - The format of the file looks just like a Trial Balance with a column for Debits and one column for Credits. In the import format setup, I am using the DrCrSplit script. Weird thing here is that I noticed it just ignored any of the rows where the balance was over 1 million (but brought everything else in perfectly). I've played with the Start and Length fields to no avail.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
James

Good day,
You can add a script as the last item to you amount import format, this will dump the values to a text file which may give you some idea of the issue. Open you file in a hex editor, there may be non printing characters.
Thanks
Function dumpamt(strField, strRecord)
'Declare Local Variables
Dim objFSAppend
Dim objFAppend
Dim strFileAppend
Dim blnCreate
'Initialize the file path
strFileAppend = "\\networkdirectoy\YourFileName.txt"
blnCreate = True
'Open the file system object and create the file
Set objFSAppend = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFAppend = objFSAppend.OpenTextFile(strFileAppend, 8, blnCreate)
'Append Data to File
objFAppend.WriteLine(strField)
'Close the objects
objFAppend.Close
Set objFAppend = Nothing
Set objFSAppend = Nothing
dumpamt = strField
End Function

Multiple FDM Import Formats for One Location

I want to import trial balance data directly from the Oracle Financials database. I'm creating an import integration script to pull the ledgers directly via a SQL statement. My issue is that I also want to be able to write scripts to modify each individual field on the import, similar to a delimited import script where I can have a script for each dimension. Do you know if it's possible to combine import integration and delimited scripts in a single location? I'm guessing it may be a combination of the Import Format and Integration Options settings on the location, but I'm not sure which one should go where. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is not possible. Any adjustments to the data would need to be done within the integration script.

Importing fixed width text from a .txt file

I am really struggling to do in Numbers '09 something which I can do easily in Excel.
I have a txt file containing plain text in fixed-width columns which I would like to import into numbers.
I just cannot find a way to do it.
I have tried using the Insert/choose menu item - but it won't take .txt files.
I have tried to copy/paste the data, but it get's pasted into a single column.
The data consists of many lines like this:
Part Value Device Package Library Sheet
A-IN JST-2.0-4 JST-2.0-4 JST-20M KMILLAR 1
A-IN JST-2.5-4 JST-2.5-4 JST-25M KMILLAR 1
A-IN JST-2.8-4 JST-2.8-4 JST-28M KMILLAR 1
(and so on....)
(Each column is an exact number of characters wide, but these forums make that hard to see due to the variable spaced fonts).
How can I import this data into numbers?
(Sorry, but I cannot get the data in any other format, such as CSV, the application which exports it only support fixed width colums with spaces for padding).
Many thanks in advance,
Kenny

Here is a script treating the case of fixed widths values.
--[SCRIPT fixedwidth_values_toTSV.scpt]
Enregistrer le script en tant que Script : fixedwidth_values_toTSV.scpt
déplacer le fichier ainsi créé dans le dossier
<VolumeDeDémarrage>:Users:<votreCompte>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier Numbers et peut-être même le dossier Applications.
aller au menu Scripts , choisir Numbers puis choisir fixedwidth_values_toTSV
Choisir un fichier texte.
Le script détermine la largeur des différentes colonnes puis remplace les groupes séparateurs par des caractères TAB.
Le résultat est passé dans le presse-paiers et est enregistré à la place du contenu initial.
Vous pouvez alors
(1) coller dans le document de votre choix
(2) ouvrir le fichier texte modifié dans Numbers qui accepte sans broncher les ficiers .txt.
Utilisation alternative : enregistrer le script en tant que Progiciel (Application sous 10.6.x)
Glisser-déposer l'icône d'un fichier texte sur celle de l'application lancera le traitement voulu.
--=====
L'aide du Finder explique:
L'Utilitaire AppleScript permet d'activer le Menu des scripts :
Ouvrez l'Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
Cochez la case "Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus".
Sous 10.6.x,
aller dans le panneau "Général" du dialogue Préférences de l'Éditeur Applescript
puis cocher la case "Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre des menus".
--=====
Save the script as a Script: fixedwidth_values_toTSV.scpt
Move the newly created file into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
Maybe you would have to create the folder Numbers and even the folder Applications by yourself.
go to the Scripts Menu, choose Numbers, then choose "fixedwidth_values_toTSV"
Choose a text file.
The script scan the file's contents to extract the width of every column then it replace the separator groups by TAB characters.
The result is passed to the clipboard and is written in the original file.
So you may :
(1) paste in the document of your choice
(2) open the modified text file with Numbers which is fair enough to do that.
An alternate track is to save the script as an Application Package (Application under 10.6.x)
Drag and drop the icon of a text file on the application's one will do the job.
--=====
The Finder's Help explains:
To make the Script menu appear:
Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
Select the "Show Script Menu in menu bar" checkbox.

Import Format Audit FDM

I have a few questions around import formats as I have recently seen some new approached that I have not seen before:
Firstly are Import Formats auditable? Can the changes etc be tracked?
Secondly the formats I see are concatenating GL accounts and a few things from the GL to create a new "unique" account that is then mapped in FDM.
E.g.,
in the GL
GL Account
810000 - Revenue $10,000
GL Attribute1
BL - Blue
GL Attribute2
T1 - Dakota
FDM Import
Then creates a source GL Account of
810000BLT1
FDM mapping
810000BLT1 = TO_00001
HFM
TO_00001 $10,000
Has anyone seen this before, where effectively a new account is created from the import format ?

1. I can't make a comment on FDMEE, but what is now 'classic' FDM does not audit the import format table. However if it is a requirement, then i am sure your DBA could sort something out
2. Yes, this is quite common, but perhaps more for the other dimensions rather than the account dimension.

Import Format: Copy source account into UD1

The Source G/L Account is used for both the HFM Account and HFM UD1 (Custom1). The mapping for FM Accounts and FM UD1 is set-up based on the GL Accounts. UD1 is not included in the GL extract file.
How can I easy copy source Account into UD1 through the import format that can be used for several locations with different import formats?
Example:
GL Account: 1000 -> HFM account: 1000 > HFM UD1: FinS
GL Account: 3000 -> HFM account: ctrl_Logic -> HFM UD1: Stat
Currently I use for UD1 a script like DW.Utilities.fParseString(strRecord,4,2) to do that and it works. Unfortuntely I have at least many different locations with different import formats that would require this script to be adjusted for each import format.
Any idea? Thanks for your help!

Good day
To get this working for different import format layouts you need to make use of the Res.PVarTemp1,,5 FDM variables, you can store information between different fields in the import fields. There are also workarounds if you need to store more than 5 values.
So you need to create two scripts, the TempPut is attached to the account import field and the TempGet is attached to the UD1 import field
Function TempPut(strField, strRecord)
Res.PvarTemp1 = strfield
TempPut = strfield
End Function
Function TempGet(strField, strRecord)
TempGet= Res.PVarTemp1
End Function
Hope this helps

How to copy FDM setting (import format, dimension mapping, control table)

Dear All,
How to copy FDM setting (import format, dimension mapping, control table) from application to another application.
I found that only dimension mapping can be imported. Is there any way to copy FDM application quickly?
Thanks your help

If you get a chance try the following script, it's so simple and easy to extract all the map data to XML and will help in to import back through Import script.
Sub MapExtractor()
'UpStream WebLink Custom Script:
'Created By:      SatyaK
'Date Created:      12/08/09
'Purpose: This Script will produce a Account Map File for
'                         the current location.
'Execute the export
strFilePath = API.IntBlockMgr.InterfaceMgr.fExportMapToXML("File Path", PPOVPeriod)
End Sub
