Importance of plug Account

Hi,
Please explain me about the Plug Acocunt in HFM with an example..

Though the information about "Plug Account" with example is already discussed in "Discussion Forum" sending you again:
Plug account is primarily used for storing the differences arising out of Intercompany Transactions.
A plug account is a "technical" way to keep the individual balance sheet balanced.
For example, let's consider that a company A has an interco with company B on receivables for 50 with a total assets of 1000. Without plug account, the elimination of this amount in value [Elimination] will lead to the following situation in the contribution total of entity A : Assets = 950 (1000-50) and liabilities = 1000. That is why we use a plug account in that case (+50 for A and -50 for B).
In the rules, we usually call the plug account in the consolidate subroutine with an HS.Con * 1 for the interco account and HS.Con * (-1) for the plug account.
To get the plug account, we use this line : Plug="A#" & HS.Account.PlugAcct("")
Same calculation for A and B will lead to an amount of 0 (+50 - 50) in the plug account in the total consolidation figures.
Plug accounts exist in HFM and Enterprise primarily for use in intercompany elimination as explained by Guerin.
As a new user of HFM, you can just treat plug account as another Account dimension attribute like UD1..3 with its own HS.Account.PlugAcct("") call to retrieve the value. How Plug Account behaves in consolidation is totally governed by your rule. You are free to use Plug Account attribute for another purpose in HFM.
Also, please have a look at the below HFM Admin guide link with more information on Plug Account:

Need Help with FCP7 import and plug in question.

Hello,
I just registered and would like to ask two questions. Everything else I'll use the search function for but I need the answer right away.
Ok First question. I have a mac pro at home and a intel macbook both with FCS4 during the holiday season I'd like to work on a project on my laptop. Now I have all my files on a 2.0 USB drive(I know its not that fast for video) but this is only temp. while traveling. I'm trying to figure out why it wont import the files into another project. Even when I'm at my home Mac Pro when I try to import a projects footage into another project it doesn't read it. This comes up
"File Error: 0 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied 254 unknown"
But all the files will work in the project that it was originally captured too.
If this helps the codec is sonys HDV 1080 60i converted to Apple ProRes 422(HQ) which I found out I should only use the regular Apple ProRes 422. I'm stuck now b/c I cannot import the files into a new project to work in on my laptop. Plus my Macbook doesn't have Firewire800 so I have no way to get the footage from tape to my laptop other then my USB Hard Drive.
I also have problem importing the files in Motion and Cinema Tools they also are not recognizing the files which is getting me upset since they are FCP7 generated files after I convert them to ProRes.
Whenever I try to import/use the files in anything other the original project they are grey'ed out.
I'm also confused on how to import effects plug-ins I've downloaded effects from apple only to have now directions to import them into the program.
Sorry for the Noob questions I'm a film student learning FCP7 by myself so I have the upper hand come next semester. Thanks in advance.

Can't tell for sure but it sounds as if the drive is not properly formatted, or you do not have correct read/write permissions for it. There is no way you can use this drive with HQ video. You're going to get into problem if you even try.

I have imported three gmail accounts into mac's mail client. can i do anything to distinguish between them? e.g., can i have each one appear in the mail list in a different color? I don't want to do it by sender, but by email account.

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.

What is the importance of word account in 'Account' assignment elements

Automatic 'account assignment derivation' minimizes the manual effort of entering postings in which the 'account assignment elements' can be entered. The values derived appear as default values that you can overwrite if you wish.
FM account assignment elements, Derivation of FM Account Assignment Elements from CO Acct Assgnmnts.
These are many place where word account assignment elements is used in sap.
what is the importance of word 'Account'. What should we understand if word 'account' assignment element wording is used in FM,CO or FI.

i have tried but no one answers specific question -- What is 'account assignment element'.
its used everywhere as if everyone understands it in every module.
for e.g
FM account assignment elements are not migrated to BCS. Nevertheless, they are crucial to proper migration, since budget data is assigned to these account assignment elements. You have the following options:
· If you do not want use new FM account assignment elements in BCS, you should proceed as follows:
Migration at fiscal year-end: no specific action is required. See link below.
Migration during the course of a fiscal year: you should carry out the activation of account assignments for BCS and optionally also define your budget structure.
· If you want to use new FM account assignment elements in BCS, such as the grant or funded program, proceed as follows:
Now if someone is new to SAP what would he understand with word - FM account assignment elements
Like in FI we have GL account and in FM we have Commitment item. Two different nomenclature. Why account assignment element is used freely as If everyone else understands it, I would love to understand that how to interpret word account assignment element differently if used in different module.

Intercompany Matching Report Balance is not the same as Plug account

Hi - we are running an ICP Matching report (standard setup without any custom consolidation logic). The balance in the report does not tie to the balance for the Plug account that we ran the report for - Intercompany report uses plug account as the parameter to generate the report.
For this grouping of accounts, we have both P/L and Balance sheet accounts plugging to the same Interco plug account. While we understand this is not standard practice, mixing the different account types in the same Plug account, could this be causing our issue?
Does the IC Plug accounts generate Periodic values for Income Statement accounts?
Any guidance is much appreciated.

We separated the expense account from the liability accounts - we also created a rule to capture the prior year YTD plug account balance in the current month. This solved our issue.

Elimination Issue for same plug account

Hello
I am having an issue with elimination, let me start with basic question, I believe HFM does allow that Account can have it self Plug Account , ( i.e If A#123 its Plug is also 123), if that is true then, according to bu req, for A#456 and A#557 out of balance debit/credit is A#557 ( It means Plug Account is 557 ) so in metadata i have defined properties for A#456 and A#557 Plug = 557, we have two custom dim, according to rule based on ICP parent decendants at very 1st common parent it will eliminate an entry, after running rule i can see for A#456 its value has been assigned in "Elimination" bucket however for 557 i see zero eventhough 557 has $100 in its "Entity Currency"
i checked following thing for my issue does account has IsICP = 'Y' ( checked ), Entity tree has ICP ( Checked ), i also checked entity details using grid and this is what it says, credit column is empty and debit column does have $100 for A#557 in destination ID , in Source ID it is empty in debit/credit and calculated value it shows zero.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I can't say I've ever tried this approach, but I don't think it makes any logical sense to make an intercompany account act as it's own plug account. I recommend creating a second account for the plug. When HFM performs the elimination, it will write the negative value back to each side of the intercompany pair, and write the offsetting positive values to the plug. In your case I suspect you will only get the same values, meaning that the account will not actually eliminate. The behavior here is true for all versions of HFM, not specific to any release.

Plug accounts issues

Hi guys,
I'm not quite sure of having understand plug accounts and I have some issues with eliminations right now.
I have tree accounts with the same plug account.
Father1
Child1- PlugAccount1
Child2- PlugAccount1
Child3- PlugAccount1
PlugAccount1
The application works with default consolidation. My problem is that the PlugAccount it's showing a weird resulta at some entity level. The entities are as follows:
Entity0
EntityA
EntityB1
EntityC1 EntityC2 (those are te IC partners)
Plugaccount1 shows value in EntityB1 (the difference) and also in EntityA and Entity0. Is this usual? Should it roll out to all the parents? PlugAccount1 has value in EC, ECT, PC, PCT and Elimination... Is it right?
I'd really appreciate your comments.
Thank you!
Lu

Hello
If you want the elimination to work and you do not want to use the default rule you have to follow the next step
1. In the app setting mark ConsolidationRule=Y
2.Upload the consolidate rule, I am send in you an example in the last part of this mail
3Entitys property isICP, flag Y in each entity that you are going to have intercompany transactions
4Account flag s isicp for the plug account and the account that you want to have intercompany transactions
The eliminations are going to appear in elimination in the child . SO it will not consolidate to the parent.
I hope it help

Doubt in plug account

hi all,
i have a doubt:
Suppose there are 5 plug account, how do we can identify which one belongs to that particular ICaccount.
Thanks in Advance,

Go to Manage Metadata -> Open the Account dimension -> Check the value in PlugAcct. That is the plug account associated with the account.
Not sure if this is what you meant.
But if you are asking which plug accounts should be used for the accounts, then it is a question for your functional team. They usually give you the plug account associated with the ICP account.
