Intercompany Transaction Module - General Questions

Question

I do not have any real experience in using the Intercompany Transaction Module and have some general questions relating to the applicability of deploying this module at my site...
The underlying GL systems capture Intercompany balances - but not the ICP entity detail. Therefore for each ICP Account the Trial Balance load into HFM (via FDM) will load the ICP Account balances to the [ICP None] member. We were originally going to provide a form through which these balances could be cleared from [ICP None] to the valid ICP members.
However, a need to load multi-currency transactions has emerged putting the Intercompany Transaction Module under consideration.
Not sure how the use of this module would work alongside the balances already loaded in the GL Trial Balance? Does this module merely allocate the existing balances or would we need to write a rule to reverse out of [ICP None] the values loaded via transaction to ICP Entities?
Any advice will be appreciated

Answer 1

By default, [ICP None] and [ICP Entities] will aggregate to [ICP Top],but there is one application setting: ICPEntitiesAggregationWeight
this setting Specifies the percentage of intercompany partner entity [ICP Entities] amounts that aggregate to the [ICP Top] member of the Value dimension. By default, the value is 1, you can specify it to be 0, and using validation to make sure [ICP Entities] =[ICP None], then [ICP Top] will only =[ICP None] and will not double count.
