Number of journals in HFM

Hi
Is there a limit to the number of journal entries in an HFM application?
We have thousands of journal entries in our application - is there any risk that this will cause us problems, either through random unexplained errors or through performance?
Thanks

You have thousands of entries created in HFM or you have thousands of entries to load from a GL to HFM?
HFM should not replace a general ledger for most companies. It would be better to load the resulting balances from a source system to HFM.

Tracking down who has deleted what journals in HFM

Hi all,
We used HFM v9.3.1. and some of our users are saying that a number of journals do not appear anymore under the "Process Journals" section when they are trying to run them. Apparently, last month, those journals were there but this month, they have somehow disappeared.
I have gone to the Administration > Task Audit screen but couldn't find any task filter which could tell me what journals have been deleted.
Even with the Journals Unposting task filter, there were not enough details\information against the records which were listed as I would have expected to see at least the name of the journal which were unposted as part of the list.
Is there a way to:
1. find out the list of journals which have been deleted in HFM?
2. find out the exact name of the journals which have been unposted in HFM?
Thanks in advance
JBM

There is no way to see which users deleted journals. This is not an activity that can be tracked currently with Task Audit. Data Audit only applies to input level changes in <Entity Currency> and does not apply to any of the adjustment nodes.
If this is an ongoing problem in your application, you can certainly prevent users from unposting journals -- only give them rights to create and post, so they must request a different user to unpost them. Also, you should know that any user granted the Administrator role cannot be restricted from anything in an application (except granting access to other users or making changes to access).
Another idea is to make use of process management so that once an entity has been approved that no one can change it, let alone unpost and then delete journals.
The placement of classes on journals is entirely an "honor system" idea since there is no security on the classes themselves. It may be possible for a user to create a journal that he himself has no access to.
I think in this case you have to invest time in asking your users, or put better controls into your security plan.

Manual Document Number for Journal Entry

I tried to upload invoices via DTW. I used manual doc. series for those invoices. SAP automatically creates a journal entry for every invoice but with it's auto numbering series. How can I use manual number for journal created by system? Thank's a lot.

Hi,
as far as I know, there is no manual option series like in document e.g. sales order.
you could create new series and it is intended to manual operation of journal entry. By using this way, we can manage and differentiate the journal entry document numbering. Which one is for document accounting transaction journal and memorial journal (manual journal).

Difference between the reversing journal and auto reversal journal in HFM?

Hi! all
This is sandeep. I was posted journals but I'm not able to understand the difference between the reversing journal and auto reversal journal could you please help me to know the difference between them
Thank you,
SANDEEP

Hi Sandeep,
As per my understanding, reversing and auto revering journal entries are same:-
1) Reversing journal entries are the entries which are made for the adjustment for the preceding periods.
2) For Understanding Auto Reversal entries, please refer HFM user guide, you can refer page number 182

Increased number of journal receivers after upgrade from ECC 5.0 to 6.0

After are upgrade from ECC 5.0 to ECC 6.0 on an iSeries machine we have noticed an increase in the number journal receivers being created by SAP approximately twice as many that were being created on are 5.0 system. I've checked all the attributes for the journal receivers and they were set the same on both versions. This hasn't caused use any issues but just wondering if anyone else has experienced this or knows the cause of this. Thanks, Jason Duncan

Unposting journals in HFM

Hi all,
Im working with HFM 9.3 and I have a problem with the journals. Im posting journals set with *Value:[Contribution Adj]* in a child entity and I execute Calculate contribution in the parent entity to see the effect on the parent.As a test, I unposted them and I execute the Calculate contribution again, but this time I don't see the result of unposting the journals. The data still remains...
I have done exactly the same process ( using the same journals) for next year and everything is fine... What could it be?
Thanks.

But the problem is, once I unpost the journal and I execute Calculate contribution again, the data remains in the cell so it does not unpost the journal. And when I do exactlly the same operation for the next year( posting and unposting journals) it works correctly! So I don't know t if it has something to do with the configuration of metadata or what...

Journal Security for unpost the journal in HFM

Hi All
I want to have a security that a user should post a journal and he should not un post the journal? How to achieve this?
Because post and unpost is not segregated in HFM Journal.
regards
Sarilla

if the user submits the entity (or phase) in the process control and has no Review Supervisor role then he would not be able to unpost the journal unless the Review Supervisor rejects back the submission in the process control

Users cannot view journals in HFM

I am on HFM version 11.1.1.3 and am having some issues with users being able to view journals. These same users were able to be able to view/edit journals a couple of weeks ago and the functionality has randomly dissappeared. One user specifically created a new journal and is unable to view it on the same day. The journal exists and other users with the exact same security are able to view it. I have reviewed the security and everything is set up appriopriately. Also, are users are all set up as Native Directory. We restart services weekly and this has not fixed the issue. The only consistent behavior is that once a user loses the ability to see journals, they never get it back. I have to set them up with a new id that has the exact same security as their old one and then they are able to view journals again.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is this a known HFM bug?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

Hi,
May be you have already checked it, but can you see if there is any filter condition applied by the affected users?
Ask the affected users to go to process journals/filter/filter tab and check the settings applied. if there is any filtering condition for which there are no journals, user wouldn't see anything.
Hope this helps...

Journal Scripting HFM

Hi Experts,
What type of scripting we would use generally during journal posting?
Where would you use Scripting? we would use VB script for this? or else is there any other scripting?
regards
Dev

Hi Dev,
Thanks for the information. Until and Unless you have an out of box requirement from your users no need to go for Scripting. To answer your question we can write scripting for Journals.
1. If you want to have scripting in FDM, Goto Work bench client -->Target Adapters --> Actions -->Export A (Here we can modify the script according your requirement).
2. If you want to have scripting in HFM, Goto Rules editor and write logic according to your requirement. Use "HS.Con" while writing a rule for journals as they are part of consolidation.
Please mark it as Helpful/Correct if it what you are really expecting.
Cheers,
Vyas

Recurring Journals in HFM

I am currently reporting half yearly, and have completed Dec 08 data, and now successfully loaded June 09 data.
However, when I went to use the recurring journals (for June 09), the Dec 08 data has changed, despite the Dec 08 period being locked and closed. The journals (4 of them) are still in Dec 08 journals and marked as "Posted", however the impact of those journals has changed the Dec 08 balances.
If anyone has any suggestions as to why/how Dec 08 data has changed, I would be very grateful !!
(Please forgive me if there is another post on this topic, I did a search on "recurring" and "journals" and cant find any, so if there is one, please include it).

Hi,
I am sorry Oracle Applications does not have this feature as of now.
If you click on lines you will find that the currencies which can be choosen is Monetary or Stat.
Secondly if you have to generate such recurring foreign journals, you need to give conversion rates.
I hope I making things clear

HFM Journal line limit?

Hi everyone,
Does anyone know if there is a limit on the number of lines (rows) that can be used in a single HFM journal entry? i wasn't able to find information on this question in the HFM user guide.
Thanks,
Brian

There is not a limit according to Chris Barbieri and he knows his stuff => Journals in HFM 11.1.1.3 - error with Journals with many lines
Thank you,

Journal Voucher Serial Number

hello,
We had the serial number for Journal Voucher setup to be entered manually.
Is there anyway that we can change it to be generated automatically by the system. Note that all the past vouchers have manually entered numbers so what are the consequences of the change and from where can we do this change?
Regards,

Journal Voucher is not the formal document. Therefore it is no number available from the same table that hold the JE number. JV is draft only.
Thanks,
Gordon
