Loading Fx Rates to HFM

Question

(Thanks for the posting suggestion Larry).
I followed prior suggestions to load exchange rates to HFM. So I have C1 as a "pass through" wildcard, C2 static to USD; and None is set for ICP, Entity, and Account. Now, how do I get past validation stage to load this to HFM? Since I have other locations that need to be validated I dont think I could shut validation off (how do I do that?) ?
Thanks

I'm not sure what you mean by a pre-defined property, but the HFM administrator or someone must input the Fx rates that you want to use in the system. If you go into the HFM client and manage metadata you will see a drop-down for Currencies. HFM is not going to create these members just based on the information you are trying to load. So, if you are trying to load CAD, EUR, NZD, etc. those members must be loaded into HFM prior to you attempting to load data. Just as an example below would be the POV you would load your Fx rates to if :
Scenario;Year;Period;View;Entity;Value;Account;ICP;C1;C2;C3;C4;Amount
Actual;2012;Jan;YTD;[None];<Entity Currency>;BSRate;[ICP None];USD;EUR;[None];[None];X.XXXX
Actual;2012;Jan;YTD;[None];<Entity Currency>;ISRate;[ICP None];USD;EUR;[None];[None];X.XXXX
Hope this helps.
