Hi..
Following is the information that you need to know about how rules are used in Financial
Management. You use rules to automate the calculations of data within an application. You can
use rules for these purposes:
● Calculate data entry level amounts for a specific entity, scenario, and period.
● Prevent data entry for a specific cell in a specific entity, scenario, and period.
● Allow input at the Parent entity level.
● Calculate data that cannot be calculated through a hierarchical aggregation, such as ratios
or variance analysis.
● Perform allocations from a parent entity to a list of base entities.
● Perform complex currency conversions, calculate exchange rate differences, or perform
other calculations necessary for your consolidation.
● Define formulas to dynamically calculate accounts.
● Specify the accounts in the application that support intercompany transactions.
You can write rules in a text editor, or you can use the Financial Management Rules Editor to
create rules.
For more information on rules pls refer hfm_admin.pdf
