Segment journal behavior in the C2 process

Segment values in the C2 process are populated in this way:

• When the Generate Segment Journals setting is enabled, segment values are read from segment cubes (cubes that contain segment-level data).
• When the Generate Segment Journals setting is disabled, segment values are read from non-segment cubes.

This table shows how journal segments and intersegments are populated for each combination of the Generate Segment Journals setting and data source:

Scenario	Generate Segment Journals	Data source	Segments 1-3	Intersegments 1-3
1	Enabled	Data Entry	Unassigned	EXTERNAL
2	Disabled	Data Entry	Unassigned	Unassigned
3	Enabled	Data Import	Assigned	EXTERNAL
4	Disabled	Data Import	Unassigned	Unassigned

Intersegments are populated as EXTERNAL when the Generate Segment Journals setting is enabled. Otherwise, intersegments are Unassigned. See scenarios 1-4 in the table.

Segments 1-3 are Unassigned unless the Generate Segment Journals setting is enabled and data is loaded through Data Import with assigned segment values. In this case, imported segment values are used. See scenario 3 in the table.

Data that is specified on the Data Entry page always produces Unassigned segment values because segment assignment isn't supported on the Data Entry page. See scenarios 1 and 2 in the table.

Journals contain assigned segment values only when the Generate Segment Journals setting is enabled and data is imported with explicitly assigned segments through Data Import.
