Flow dimension Hierarchy

Question

There are two flow hierarchies in standard Appshel:
F_TOT  End of Period Movement.  This hierarchy inclide chidren of  opening balance F_100 and all the other movement types.
F_TOP  All Flow. This hierarchy include chidren of  closing balance F_999 and F_NONE.
theoretically speaking " the sum of the opening balance and the period movements should equal the closing position in reports",
Is this means that the move type we extract from ECC for each period should never equal F_NONE? otherwise the f_NONE should be the children of F_TOT not F_TOP.
Is there any relationship between F_TOT and F_TOP? Do we have F_TOT = F_999 from the above stetement?
Another thing I notice is that when I run a report, for flow current view value, if I choose F_TOP,I will received "EVDRE encountered an error retrieving data from the Web Server" error message, but if I choose the children of it either F_999 or F_NONE, the report runs ok, however, the same report if I choose F_TOT, it runs ok as well.

Hi,
The actual rules are based on your requirements. You could define all your cash flow rules in the account transformation under group ID CF and then map you souce account/flow and speficy the destination there.
Next have a script logic and call the progam CALC_ACCOUNT there. sample logic is: There is a package to trigger this logic. Have it enabled. The BPC process chain is /CPMB/RUNCALCACCOUNT
*RUN_PROGRAM CALC_ACCOUNT
    CATEGORY = %CATEGORY_SET%
    CURRENCY = LC
    TID_RA = %TIME_SET%
    CALC=CF
    OTHER = [ENTITY=%ENTITY_SET%]
*ENDRUN_PROGRAM
Hope the above helps.
Thanks,
