Time Dimension Does Not Aggregate to Q1 and Year Level

Question

Hi All,
Our fiscal year starts from Jul - Jun with standard quarter and year summation (no custom measure).
Now we are facing problem where the account balance in period July and August do not add up to Q1 level and Year level, BUT account balance in SEP is added to Q1 level and Year level. Same thing goes for other quarter where only Dec month can update Q2, Mar month can update Q3 and Jun month can update Q4. Other months can be submitted but they do not aggregate to its respective quarter level.
Below is the summary of the setting:
ID                   Parenth1        Year       Period     Level      TimeID          UsertimeID         MonthNum     IsBeginning
2010.Jul         2011.Q1          2011        Jun        month      20100700      "Blank"                       1             "Blank"  
2011.Q1        2011.Total        2011        Q1         quarter    10000013                                         3       
2011.Total                              2011     Total         year         10000012                                       12
Is there any setting that needs to be done for fiscal year not like calendar year? We do not use UsertimeID and IsBeginning because we do not use custom measure (is this understanding correct?).
Thanks a lot,
Liam

Answer 1

You don't have to change the ID, you just have to change the hierachy to be how you want and to make sure isBeginningproperty is 1 for month which is starting the year Quarter and Year.
In your case if I understood correct you would like to have
2010.JUL will have prenth 2010.Q1
2010.AUG will have prenth 2010.Q1
2010.SEP will have prenth 2010.Q1
2010.OCT will have parenth 2010.Q2
2010.Q1 will have parent 2010.Total
In this way you will have your Fisacal year with the aggregation expected.
If you need both fiscal year and Standard Year then you have to build two hierarchies into Time dimension.
