Parent Currency Value

Question

Hi,
I want to ask, is there any settings that can affect input data in Parent Currency Level?
I have a translation rule that input data in Parent Currency Level. With the same rule, I used in 2 different application but in one of the apps I can't input in parent currency level. Is there any settings that can affect that?
Here is my rule :
IF HS.Value.IsTransCur = TRUE OR HS.Value.IsTransCurAdj = TRUE AND Hs.Value.Member = "<Parent Curr Total>" Then
IF Hs.Entity.Member = "China" then
     Hs.Exp "A#Sales= 200"
End IF
End IF
Thanks

Answer 1

The conditions ("If" statements) that you have written, control if your assignment (Hs.Exp "A#Sales= 200") will execute or not. The assignment itself will always work when executed. There are a number of conditions that may turn your "If" condition to FALSE:
1. Just get rid of the AND Hs.Value.Member = "<Parent Curr Total>". If it is not the problem this time, it will be another time.
2. In one of the applications, you have no entity "China".
3. In one of the applications, "China" is placed under a parent having the same default currency, therefore the translation along with the conditionals Hs.IsTransCur and Hs.IsTRansCurAdjs are not executed at all.
2 and 3, are data issues, not code issues. Even including 1 in your first conditional may turn true or false depending on different underlying data. That is why I say that if the code runs or not it depends on the differences between the underlying data in the two applications. There is no other reason why any piece of code runs or not in different applications. In other words, there you cannot say "this piece of code runs in one application but not in another", instead you can say "this piece of code runs with one set of data, but not with another". I hope this is clear now.
