Run business rules in embedded model from consolidation monitor

[sethia_prakash]

Hello gurus,

We are on BPC 10.1 sp11 and I am moving our Balance Sheet functionality from the standard model to the embedded model. I have created a Consolidation Model to use business rules to calculate Net Income etc even though we do not do Consolidations or translation in BPC. I have tried creating a task sequence to be able to run the BR from the Consolidation Monitor but am stuck. I see 2 issues -

1. Task Sequence does not let me select a BR, just the type of Business Rules like Account Based Business Rule. How can I select individual rules to be run from the monitor?

2. No company codes show up in the consolidation Monitor. I do not have my company codes grouped to the group dimension. So, my Scope dimension (type Group) is basically a dummy. Is it mandatory to have the entity assigned to the Group dimension to be be able to run the rules?

Any help is greatly appreciated...

Hi if you do not want to run consolidation why are you setting up a consolidation model?

Answering your questions:

1- You can specify the Account Transformation ID in the Task Sequence by using the key word CALC_ID="business rule ID" in the setting column

You might need go through s-note 2385198, 2437140 and 2479249

2- Yes to use the consolidation monitor you do need a valid ownership structure - even if you have only one dummy group with all entities assigned.

Cheers,

Hello Lucas,

Thank you for your answer. I have just come back from my vacation and saw your reply. I am using a consolidation model because I want to use business rules for calculating Net Income, generating Cash Flow statement etc. The only other way that I know is to use Planning Function if I don't make it a consolidation model.

I tried adding the rule with the CALCID="<rule>" statement in the settings column. However, I am getting an error saying my <rule> is not valid while it exists.
