Running Consolidation wipes out beginning balances

Hi all,
I have a when I am running the consolidation package, the reporting currency beginning balances get wiped out. Here are the steps...
1. 2012.DEC ACTUAL balances are in both Local currency and in the reporting currency. 
2. For the forecast ACTUAL balances will be the opening balances so we have configured the category dimension for forecast to pull in the opening balances from ACTUAL
3. We first run the opening balances package to pull the data from ACTUAL and then run the consolidations on forecast category to run the intercompany elims and ownership
4. I confirmed that we have configured the flow/category dimensions properly with all the required properties for consolidation
I separated out the group conversion step from the consolidation package and commented out that code. So, now I just have the following code in logic script:
*RUN_PROGRAM CONSOLIDATION
CATEGORY = %VERSION_SET%
GROUP = %SCOPE_SET%
TID_RA = %TIME_SET%
*ENDRUN_PROGRAM
Any idea why would this happen?? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Mandar

Hi Mandar,
you are certain, that your opening balances get wiped out by the above script and not the conversion to group ppart? Which datasource are we talking about?
Please share the rules that you use in your consolidation.

  • Consolidation Out of Balance

    Hi experts,
    I run consolidation for an entity twice, then check the value of consolidated amount.
    I am seeing different amounts for the consolidations i ran.
    i.e.
    for first consolidation "Liab = 913,371"
    after the second consolidation "Liab = 912,641"
    This only happens when running consolidation for Period April. "Liab" account has an IsCalculated attribute in metadata. I would like to know why does consolidation is behaving like this.
    I am using HFM v9.3.3.
    any input would be highly appreciated. thanks.

    Hi Raul,
    Thanks for your quick response.
    We have the following on the rules;
    Sub Calculate()
    If pov_Value = "<Entity Currency>" or pov_Value = "<Entity Curr Adjs>" Then
    HS.Exp "A#*OtherLiab*.I#[ICP None] = A#100.I#[ICP Top] + A#200.I#[ICP Top].C2#AllCustom2"
    End Sub
    End If
    Sub Consolidate
    Select Case HS.Account.UD1(Account)
    Case "*OtherLiab*"
    dPCon = HS.Node.PCon("")
         dPOwn = HS.Node.POwn("")
         dPMin = 1 - dPOwn
              If ConMethod = "Local" then
                   If strEntity = "EntA" then
                   Call HS.Con("V#[Elimination].A#Liab.I#[ICP None].C2#[None]", 1 * dPMin, "ST")
                   End if
    End Select
    End Sub
    I checked the source transaction for the intersection for entity "EntA", Value "[Elimination]", and account"Liab".
    That way I have seen the the out of balance intersection.
    I have also checked journal entry but i don't see any adjustment.
    Could it be the rules that is causing the issue? Or there are any other possible causes of this?
    Thanks.

  • How to Carry Forward Beginning Balances for CTA

    Hi Experts,
    We're doing a multi-currency AppSet wherein I need to carry forward the ending balances of the cumulative translation adjustment to it's beginning balance the next year but the problem is:
    1. CTA resides only in USD reporting currency(not in LC).
    2. My carry forward rules applies only to local currency. I've tried to include USD but when I run the default formula wherein I've included my currency conversion rule, the beginning balance for CTA zero out. I've tried removing the ratetype on CTA, replace it with blank, AS_IS,NOTRANS so as not to translate that account since it will be converting from a blank opening balace in LC(since CTA is only calculated in USD) to USD so it's reasonable that it would zero out, but still it's trnaslated.
    Any idea how to work this out?
    Thanks,
    Marvin

    Hi Marvin,
    Set your CTA account ratetype to something like "HISTX" or whatever you want, add this ratetype to RATE dimension and in your business rule, set this rate type to [AS_IS].
    We use it here and it works.
    Thanks,

  • FSG - Need to find beginning balance value from current year

    Hi,
    Could any one help me please,
    i designed FSG report and the issue is we need to find the beginning balance form the current year
    and i do not know which amount type i should use in column set.
    maybe there is any way or workaround for this issue?
    example :
    when i run the report with parameter JUN-12, the XXX (beginning balance current year) = 5000
    and when i run the report with parameter SEP-12, the XXX (beginning balance current year) is still 5000
    thanks

    This is some of the worst SQL I have seen. The data element names change from table to table, and they violate ISO-11179 rules. We seldom use OUTER JOINs in a properly designed schema, we seldom need to worry about NULLs; we use COALESCE(), not ISNULL();
    we use CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, not getdate(), etc. 
    Did you know that nesting scalar subqueries will screw any hope of optimization? The changes in the formatting of program text implies that many different, inexperienced younger programmers who wrote in many different non-SQL languages. You even posted in colors,
    like grade school! 
    My guess is that everyone wrote a query without any planning, and then threw them together in one pile. 
    It seems that this nightmare has three tables and we have no DDL or other specs:
     Stock 
     Stock_Lead_Times 
     Traces
    Want to follow Netiquette and post DDL with some specs?

  • Beginning Balance

    Hi,
    What are your approaches to upload the beginning balance for the first time?
    Do you upload RFD for the whole companies and run the consol function in bcs  and afterward do some adjustment or?

    Is there any other approaches?
    Is it possible to upload the ending balance from prior year without running any consol task ? specially without running first consol.
    @Dan,
    actually i dont understand the approach that u mentioned in here : First Consolidation in SEM-BCS
    thanks.

    What I'm reading (since I haven't used SEQUENCE before) says that I can't use it in a subquery. fyi: Oracle 8i The Complete Reference.
    My biggest concern is figuring out why it is running differently whether inside BEGIN..END or not. I just want to be sure that I'm not using something incorrectly (or the possibility of a defect which is less likely). We have too many scripts here that could give incorrect results because they are written in a simmilar fashion.

  • Beginning Balance and Ending Balance Calculation

    Hi all,
    I have got a critical requirement for my report.
    I have to calculate Opening and Closing Balances for every month
    Beginning balance amount of current month = Ending balance amount of previous month.
    and Ending Balance = Beginning Balance + Transactions(data available)
    My Beginning Balance amount initially will be loaded from Flat file.
    For the first month I will go with a calculated Keyfigure and calculate my ending Balance.
    Now, this ending balance of current month will be beginning balance of next month.
    The problem is for the second month if i want ending balance, how to hold that data, as that is a calculation.
    Secondly, if the data is for current period..that's fine, but if i have to see previous months data, how to get it??
    Thanks,
    Hima.

    Make a cell reference to the previous month in your query designer. I don't have any specific information available at this point, but I have done the exact same thing in the past and we could make it working using cell references. There's enough documentation available if you want to know the ins&outs of this.

  • Will updating to iCloud 3.1 wipe out my *group* email contacts as happened before?  Using Outlook on Windows 7, 64 bit.

    I have iCloud installed but when I first synced with it, some years ago, iCloud completely wiped out all my email groups that had been so carefully set up in Outlook.  (Windows 7, 64 bit)  It was devastating because some of those contacts were entered only there and could not be recovered.
    I am getting notices to update to iCloud 3.1 and it seems to have some connection of signing in automatically to Outlook.  I am worried this will happen all over again, so I have avoided that particular part of the update.
    (not to mention updating iTunes has become a holy nightmare)
    What have been others' experiences with this?  How to avoid the wipe-out?

    Hello Mizoo,
    Thank you for explaining your concern.  I definitely understand the importance of keeping your Contacts organized and the work that goes into it. 
    If you are hesitant to do the update, I recommend making an archive of your iCloud Contacts before running the update.  The following resource has steps to do this:

  • Wipe out Internal Mac Book Pro hard drive

    I need help on how to wipe out my internal Mac Book Pro hard drive. I used the Mac Office demo and now the demos are no longer usable. How can I wipe out the mac book pro hard drive? Should I contact my Apple Care service center for assistance, since I am paying for that service and they can walk me through the process? I want to clear out to what it was like when I first got the lappy. Help, anyone? Thanks in advance.

    Extended Hard Drive Preparation
    1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disk. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.)
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size.
    Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.
    After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with the OS X installation. Once OS X has been installed and is running you can then run the installer for the pre-bundled software.

  • Wipe out my MacBook Pro

    I want to wipe out my MacBook Pro so I can give it away.  Is there a guide or support on how to wipe it out so it is ready to go for a new user?

    Which OS version did it originally come with?
    You are showing that you are running Lion; if you purchased that at the app store, you must remove it as the license is not transferable. You will need to wipe your drive and use the original install disks to reinstall the original system.
    Post back if it came with Lion for instructions on how to do it.

  • Is it possible to wipe out iMac with ML upgrade and THEN reinstall SL from disk, back up with TM?

    Iv'e been going round and round with my iMac ever since Genius bar employees "upgraded" me to ML while replacing Seagate HD per the recall. THis is a late 2009 27-inch iMac that came with SL.
    What I think might solve this once and for all is to completely wipe out the hard drive and THEN reinstall SL from the disk that was shipped to me by Apple.
    Here's what has happened thus far:
    1. iMac was working fine, but per emails from Apple, replacing the Seagate HD that came with the computer was advised. Made appt, took it in after backing up to external hard drive.
    2. Picked up  the iMac first week of August. Found that they had upgraded me to ML.
    3. Proceeded to put back contents of backup from July 27 (before the hard drive was replaced, all saved in SL).
    4. Immediately after back up was reinstalled, realized that iPhoto contents (ALL of my saved files/photos, movies, etc, both work and personal) are inaccessible. Also, fan will not stop running (and this is true even when there is no user signed in, ie, no CPU-intensive programs running). Programs that worked in SL no longer work with ML (iWeb, etc).
    5. Have been in  contact with Apple numerous times, and finally got a senior tech to work with me via phone. I had a SL disk borrowed from a friend (the 27-inch was a replacement for original iMac that was defective and never received any install disks with new iMac Jan 2010). Per instructions from Apple tech, backed up iMac, then tried to reinstall with SL disk. When the progress wheel only kept spinning, he said that the disk I was using must be incompatible and I waited for a replacement SL install disk to be mailed to me.
    6. Called back when I got the new SL disk, and then we tried it again. When the progress did the same thing, ie just spinning, Apple tech said that I must have a hardware problem and he instructed me to make another appoitment with the Genius bar. I did that and am supposed to take it in tonight.
    7. Apple tech said it  must be a hardware problem, that the super drive would not read the install disk, BUT, the super drive (actually both of them, one inside the machine, one external super drive  purchased separately) has no problems reading audio CDs. It is ONLY the SL reinstall disk.
    That, along with the continually running fans that have also been deemed by Apple tech to be bad hardware (which were both fine before the upgrade to ML) make me think that it is the ML software that does not work properly with this late 2009  iMac. It was designed for SL, not  ML.
    I suspect that if the hard drive on the iMac is completely wiped clean and SL then reinstalled with the disk that was mailed to me, this would put my machine back in order with SL as the OS.
    I'd like to try that BEFORE I take this iMac back to the Apple Store. I have the back up from July (before ML was put on as the OS) and that's what I'd like to put back on. I can more easily save  jpegs that were savde after ML was put on as the OS than I can save everything (one by one) that was on this iMac from Jan 2010 till July 2013.
    Is there anyone who can give me a yes or no, whether this would work or not? Wipe it all out, start fresh with a new SL installation and back up from that July 2013 backup?

    Yes it is. That is why you got a set of reinstal disc with your Mac. For just this purpose.
    But if you have a 2009 model it might of come with Leopard. But you should still be able to use that reinstall disc or the retain Snow Leopard DVD you used to upgrade to SL to restore your Mac from a Time Machine backup.
    First you need to boot the system from either the original reinstall DVD or the retail SL DVD and use Disk Utility to Repartition the drive as One Partition. you MUST do that to get rid of the Mt Lion Recovery HD partition. Once that is done there should be an option to Restaore your Mac from a TM backup. Have the backup drive connected before you start the system from the Reinstall DVD, either of them whichever you chose.

  • Zero out GL balances

    The assets were not working in current system because depreciation was not run for past few years. we are loading assets all over again. since the assets were not working, the postings were made to depreciation expense account as journal entries. similarly postings were made to the apc and accumulated depreciationa ccount through FB50. now when we load the asset balances in AS91, they will duplicate as they already got balances in apoc account and dpereciation account (that are non recon accounts), so we will have to zero out the balances in these accounts. also will have to zero out balances in depreciation expense account since they already posted to this account for the whole year of 2009, they willneed to be zeroed out till their go live date which is somewhere in august.
    How do we zero out the accounts. DO we create conversion accounts for zeroing out these balances in addition to the conversiona ccount already created to load GL balances. Or can we use the same conversion account that we created for GL. Is there any other way to zero them out?

    You can use the same conversion account that is created for GL or create a diff account , it shoudn't really matter either of the cases would work
    but why do you want to keep 2 dioff conversion accounts for zeroing the balances , accordign to me one should be enough.
