Journal Template Utility

Guys,
We are in the process of data conversion and need to post lot of journal entries. Given the HFM Journal interface, it will take a while to create these.
I am looking for an excel template to create HFM journals which generate jlf files to speed up the process. If you have them could you share ?
Appreciate your input.
Regards

Hi. It's really easy to set one up and the dimensions can be different from one application to the next so the consultants I've worked with over the years don't bother. You need a few lines for the header (most fields can be static) and then the detail. The best thing to do is to create a simple journal online and export it. Open the file in Excel and make your output match the sample. If you have specific questions on the format it's well documented in the online user help.

Jounral Entry apportionment through Journal Template

Hi Experts:
I have a business scenario with one of my client.
They have electricity bill (or all the utility bills) received through the purchasing module which goes into one GL account Electricity. At the end of the month, they want to apportion the amount from Electricity account as 50% to their branches, 25% to administration and 25% to marketing.
I tried to achieve this using Journal Template (percent distribution) - by credit 100% from General Electricity and distributing the balance as above
Unfortunately it does not work - it requires an amount to be put in the first account (General account)
Any ideas as to how to achieve this ?
regards
Manian

Hi,
I am not sure what the issue is.
You create a template that will distribute an amount according to a predifined percentage.
When you create a Journal Entry from this Posting Template you fill in an amount on 1 of the rows and the other rows will be populated according to the percentage relation with that row. An amount will of course have to be put in as the percentages themselves are not amounts.
Is it always the same amount or does it change from month to month? The idea with the percentage is to use it as a distribution when the amount changes but the distribution should always be the same.
If the amount is always the same you could use Recurring Posting.
Is there something we are missing?
Let us know.

Can't open 1 document created using travel journal template

Since installing Snow Leopard yesterday I found out I can't open this one file I created using the travel journal template. All other Pages '09 files are fine. I just get this error message telling me Pages had to close my document "unexpectedly".
*"Pages quit unexpectedly while using the SFWordProcessing plug-in"*
Don't see why it would need to use this plug-in. And I don't recall choosing this plug-in. There must be a way around this. To open this file by turning off that plug-in perhaps. Unless it's absolutely necessary when using the templates. Or the "travel journal" template.

Error message when we try to save a journal template / table

Could anybody help us?
Attached you find the error message , when we tried to save a journal template:
We're using BPC Microsoft Version 7.5.104

Check and make sure that you can visit http:[server]/reports, for the reporting server. Does that work? If yes, I would make sure your DB has the APPSET_EXTRA database in addition to the APPSET in SQL DB. Also, when you process the Applications, via MOdify (full process), does it fail on step 8?
I have seen this before and it seems to be related to getting the structure correct for the Reports and reporting services. Hope this helps.

Journal Template

is it possible to fix some default dimension members in journal template..for example the value datasrc allways have to be JOURNAL..
Also is it possible to rearrage the Journal Template looks for example Jounral ID and Group are coming to the lowerpart of the header ...can it be shifted to the upper part so that FIXED header dimension can come as last portion of Header Journal Template..
Appreicate inputs...

Hello,
For adding a fixed value of datasrc try this....
Limits to Dimension Members for Journal Entries
You can limit the number of dimension members that are available to users during journal entry. All base-level members that the user has access to are available when the user fills out a journal template. By using the EnableJRN property for a dimension, you can limit the members available to users when they double-click member cells in the journal template.
Features
You can limit journal dimension member lists by adding the property EnableJRN to the dimension for which you want to limit journal access. Then, in its dimension sheet, type a Y in the EnableJRN column of base-level members for which you want to allow users to post journal entries. Repeat this for each dimension you want to limit, and process the dimensions.
Also, I know of at least one project that had success with changing the journal template heavily for formatting. I did not test you exact changes but suspect this will be ok. Please note you will have to recreate the template which means historical journal entries are lost (SAP is chaning this in the future)
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Chris

Web ADI GL Journal Template - Journal Line Number

Is anyone know if you can add the journal line number to a web adi journal template.
Our users create journals in a spreadsheet and upload in to Oracle vua web adi. They print a hard copy of the journal in Excel ADI template format as well as an output from Oracle of the journal to which their backup is attached. This is required for our audit/SOX requirements.
Our users/audit review team are frustrated that the order of the lines in the adi xls file is not the same as in the actual oracle journal.
Having looked at the journal template document I cannot find the journal line number as an option when creating the adi template. Is there any other way of ensuring that the line number in excel is the same as in Oracle (aside from re-ordering the excel lines into code combination order).
We are running on Oracle Applications : 11.5.10.2
Thanks

As per (How To Add Line Number Column To Journal Entry Webadi Template [ID 1102405.1]) this feature is not available in R12 so this implies that it is not available in 11i.
Thanks,

Wrong comments In journal template

Hi.
I have created a journal template, the functionalitiy works fine.
I have a situation where I have entities and accounts where some have the same id's.
When you select an entity and account from the current view, it shows the comment as the description of the account or entity.
What I realised is that if I select the account and entity with the same id, then the entity shows the description of the account being selected.
Is there a way in which we can correct this, without changing the id's?
Thaks in advance

Hi,
You should think about the possibility of changing the id's which have the same names throughout all your dimensions.
In fact, it's not recommended to use same id's, and could bring to some problems like the one you're encountering.
Moreover, you can just notice that, when building an EVDRE form scratch and choosing the same id for Entity and Account dimension (for example), this will automatically display Entity:yourID and Account:yourID in the control panel. You can operate the test. But in any case, you should change all your ID's to be unique throughout all your dimensions.
In order to perform that, and not to loose any data, you should use the NEWID column in your excel dimension sheet.
Hope this will help you.
Kind Regards,
Patrick

Hiring Someone to Create a Customized Aperture Web Journal Template

I'm interested in creating a customized Web Journal template for Aperture. Does anyone know anybody out there I could hire to do such a project?

The BEST way in my opinion is nothing mentioned in this forum:
LIGHTSCRIBE BABY!!!!!!!!
Laser burn ANY image on the DVD just like Hollywood Movies baught in a store.
I paid $175.00 for a Lacie Dual Layer DVD Burner and it included Toast Titanium 7 and LightScribe Software - Best of all works on MACs ONLY (not PeeCee's) and produces flawless DVD's regardless of Brand name.
No ink jets to buy! No paper to buy! No stupid bulky printer to have on your desk! Just a slim Stainless Steel looking DVD Burner that puts to shame Apple's own SuperDrive OR any Label or Printer kit on the market today.

BPC "The system cannot create the journal template"

I am trying to create a Journal template in BPC but whatever I do I get the error message "The system cannot create the journal template"
I am running BPC 5.1 and have tried with service pack 1 and now with service pack 5 installed. The system is on SQL Server 2000.
Has anyone come past this problem?

Hi Andy,
Please check how many sheets are in a default excel workbook on your client. If less than three, BPC fails to create the journal template. If that's the case, try setting default number of worksheets to 3, then retry journal template creation.
If the above is not the issue, then you'll have to check that reporting services is working correctly. As a first step, go to http://<app server name>/reportserver (or reportserver$<instancename> if you are using a reporting services instance and left it with the default name)
If that page compiles and shows without error, then try http://<app server name>/ reports (or reports$<instance name>) If that one also compiles/doesn't give errors, then reporting services is working.
