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
Regards,
Raj..

Error when changing the POV period of a recurring journal

We recently upgraded from HFM 9.3.1 to 11.1.1.3 and are going through our first monthly close with the upgraded application. Everything had been working fine until today when one of the application administrators attempted to post a recurring journal. He was able to open the recurring journal, but after he set the POV to the current month, he received the following message:
An unknown error has occurred in the HsvDSJournals object.

If you have the clip in your viewer window
to change the speed it is in themotion tab.
I also use the right click alot and run in to this problem.
You could just pull the clip to the end of your timeline,
adjust the speed,
then place the clip back where you want it.
But that is not an efficent work flow

Project Code in recurring journal postings

Hi All,
Does anyone know whether SAP plans to include the option of using project codes on recurring journals in future versions as it's been flagged up a few times by our customers?
Kind Regards,
Matt

Hi Matt,
Based on the road map for the new version, I have not seen this detailed new feature. It might be include already. However, this is too detailed function. It is no document to prove up to now.
Thanks,
Gordon

Could it possible to post Recurring Journal entry every day?

Hi Experts
Could it possible to post Recurring Journal entry every day?
Please provide the configuration steps.
Note: Defined Document type and number range,
In FBD1 , when I try post the entry, showing only monthly intervals.
Thanks in advance
Srinath

Hi Srinat,
Please try with Run Date and Run Schedule, T.code OBC1 and OBC2:
Run Schedule for Recurring Entries
Plan which contains the required run dates for recurring entry original documents. Using the run schedule, accounting documents can be created from recurring entry original documents at any intervals.
Procedure
Specify the run schedule by which the recurring entry original document is to be carried out. Alternatively, you can specify the run by specifying an interval in months and a run day.
If you use a run schedule, you must have defined this previously in the Financial Accounting configuration. In addition, make sure that the recurring entry program is carried out as often as appropriate and with the suitable parameters. For a run schedule with weekly dates, for example, the recurring entry program must also be started weekly.
Regards
Javed

Handling Recurring Journal Entries in BPC 7.0NW

Hi all,
I'm looking for suggestions on handling the posting of Recurring Journal entries in a Legal Consolidation. I'm new to BPC, and am afraid I don't know the "best" way to do this. Currently, we are assuming that we would "copy" the previous months' entries into the new month, but when I do this, the Description of the entry says "Copy xxxx", which of course is not acceptable! The users don't want to have to open and maintain the description on 30 entries every month when the values posted are the same.
Perhaps there is another way to handle these entries?
Thanks in advance for any comments-
Valerie

The documentation around re-opening journals isn't really clear; I wasn't sure of the purpose of re-open.
Can you re-open a journal multiple times? In other words, the journal is created in January, and you re-open it in Feb, Mar, Apr, etc. for many months? Or do you flag each new journal as re-open, and re-open the one from the period before in the new month, i.e. the Jan journal re-opened in Feb; the Feb journal re-opened in Mar.
Can you change the values in the journal after you re-open and before you save?
And lastly, does the new journal in any way affect the original journal?
I know there is a translation table associated with re-opening journals, but as far as I can see I can leave this table with a single entry indicating "*" for all dimensions, which means the Entity, Account and Intercompany dimensions will stay the same upon re-opening. Is this your experience?
Thanks for you help!

Recurring journal creation - Amount type QTD not found

Hi
Query while entering recurring formula lines
I am not able to find amount type QTD while creating recurring journal line. I want to perform calculation on quarterly total for an account.
I am able to find only PTD and YTD in the drop down.
How can this be set / is possible to configure the same?
Thanks

Hi
I am particularly looking for amount types in formula line after you select "Actual / budget" and currency.
You have options to select amount for period ragne as PTD or YTD and I do not find QTD there.
Later looking at the Docs I noticed that formula line can take only PTD and YTD and not QTD.
I am looking from the perspective of how I can calculate total of last 3 months Sales for commision calculation!!
Suppose if I start from Jan onwards on Qtrly basis
Please give some clues if possible
Thank you

Re: Recurring Journal entries

Hello,
Is there a way to deal with recurring journal entries in BPC?
Please share your thoughts.
Kind regards,
RJ

The "project" field should also be available in the "Account Balance" grid. Every journal entry has a project code so it makes no sense that you can not view, filter, or sort by this field.

Recurring Journals - Request Project Field is available

Hi,
My customer has asked that the Project field be included on the Recurring Journals option.
This would allow them to post monthly rent journals automatically with the correct analysis using the project field.
Please consider this update for a future release.
Thanks
Greig

Hi
Thanks for your idea, actually, we have already aware of that and decided to do the enhancement in next main release version.
We will add project field to Recurring posting and posting template. Also we will do a complete check to add project field to more forms if necessary for project assignment.
Regards,
Yan

Recurring Journal Entry Attaching Supporting Documentation

Can someone tell me how to attach supporting documentation to a recurring journal so that it will show on each of the monthly entries. Similiar to what can be done on a manual journal.

Hello,
Supporting documentation means you mean to have long notes for a entry or any word document ??
For long notes you can use Long text field.
Later case Standard sap dont give any option unless you go for any Z Program wherein
you can have this kind of functionality.
Below is a link which talks about linking Document in Sales order.

Hope this helps

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

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.

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...
