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...

  • 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.

  • Unable to edit unposted journal lines

    Hi All,
    I am facing an issue when transferring and editing some costs from Projects to GL.
    Here are the steps:
    1/ I created some expenditure items in Projects.
    2/ I then executed concurrent programs PRC:Distribute Labor Costs, PRC:Generate Cost Accounting events and PRC:Create Accounting (Final) - transferred to GL (but not posted yet).
    3/ Switched to GL responsibility and reviewed the journal only to find it is locked for editing.
    I was able to create an invoice in AP, transfer to GL and then edit the unposted journal line.
    However I am not able to do this with projects (labor cost).
    Any idea what I could be missing or doing wrong?
    Appreciate any help from you on this matter.
    Thanks,

    Hello.
    Navigate to Setup/Journal/Sources and check if that the source in question is frozen.

  • Unposting Journals for Multiple Months

    Hello,
    Is there a way to unpost Journals for multiple months? Through Workspace and the client, you are only able to select one month at a time. I have a need to unpost multiple journals for all 12 months ( 3 journals * 12 months = 36). This is a reocurring process on our Forcasting scenarios and I'm looking for the most efficient way to get this done.
    Thanks
    Tony

    I would ask qhy you are posting and unposting journals to a forecast scenario? If you need to have the data from journals, you can do that with rules, and avoid the journals altogether.

  • Unposted journals still in the fact tables

    Hi!
    Sometimes not very often, but from time to time we have problem with posted journals not showing in the facttables and unposted journal not being eliminated from the fact tables.
    Is someone having the same problem or knows what might cause this problem?
    Usually it´s solved by unposting and posting the journal again, but it´s tricky to know which journals is working or not.
    Regards
    Fredrik

    Hi,
       It is difficult to find an explanation without making some investigation. In order to isolate a little bit the problem, just try to check if the journal data are real into the fact tables and in which one(WB, FAC2 or FACT). Myabe it will be just enough to process the partition to see data. In my opinion is should be related to some thinks that happen in that time into the system simultaneously.
    Hope this can help you,

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • Journal Security role in  HFM

    <Font color="Blue">
    Hi, All
    There is a scenario, I want to restrict the user to post the journal but he can not unpost the journal in HFM?
    How would I achieve this? Post and unpost roles are not segregated in HFM. (Means Post journal role includes the unpost journal role also) How to achieve this?
    Regards
    Taruni
    <Font/>

    This type of access is not for loading metadata(what you refer to as write access) it is basically a filter used during the display of the Metadata using any of the interfaces.
    In your example US Security Class for the people in US region.
    A user will be able to see all of the Entities tagged with the US Security Class, so if you have a "Global Region" that includes say "Europe" the user won't be able to see this structure when they are navigating in the Entity Dimension. If you also tagged some accounts for the exclusive use of US entities (with US Security Class) then, the Europeans won't have access to those accounts when they navigate the Account Dimension.
    Hope this will help you clarify the use of the Security Classes.
    Also, for this filter to take effect, you must enable METADATA SECURITY FILTERING in the Application Settings.

  • Journal unposting with flat file

    Dear Experts,
    is it possible to unpost journal using flat files and loading it via load journals?
    Thanks for your help,
    Best regards,
    Benoit

    Nope. Any posted journal is untouchable through a flat file load. Technically, you don't post journals through a flat file load either. You actually overwrite the existing working/rejected journal and replace it with a journal of posted status.
    Because posted journals cannot be overwritten, it's not possible to go in reverse.
