Currency Revaluation and Currency Translation - "Changed Totals Only" Logic Issue

Running Currency Revaluation and Translation with 'Changed Totals Only' was taking some time to complete. After review, it was found that Revaluation and Translation timestamp fields of EntityLedgerPeriod only got updated if currency gain or loss transactions were generated. These fields need to be updated whether currency transactions were generated or not.

Program/Business class/Process affected:

  • AccountingEntityHierarchy
  • GainLossTotal
  • GeneralLedgerTotal

Use these steps to test the enhancement:

  1. Finance Enterprise Group must be set to process Currency Revaluation and Translation.
  2. Currency revaluation and translation are processed by Reporting Basis. Have a reporting basis be a mix of entities that are known to general currency transactions and some that do not.
  3. Run Currency Revaluation and Translation for a period date range.
  4. Access Entity Ledger Period list and personalize to show Revaluation and Translation TimeStamp fields.
  5. Filter on the list by any Currency Ledger in the Reporting Basis and Revaluation and/or Translation TimeStamp should be updated for all the entities in the basis, regardless of whether currency transactions were generated.

New option for allocations when summary is selected for multiple dimensions and allocating posting balances

>> What was the issue or shortcoming?

When summary source address is selected and set to process at the posting level for multiple dimensions, the allocation job is timing out and getting terminated.

Program/Business class/Process affected:
  • AllocationLine
Use these steps to test the enhancement:
  • This option is toggled on by checking the new field "Process Posting Dimension Balances" in the Allocation Line. The default value is uncheck.
  • When this option is selected, all dimensions are processed at the posting level. Balances are directly read from the GeneralLedgerTotal business class instead of analytic cube.
  • Only accounting strings within the allocation structures and with balances in the GeneralLedgerTotal are processed instead of having all detailed source accounting strings, regardless if balances exist or not, generated first to read balances from the analytic cube
  • There are no changes in the calculation just how the balances are retrieved.
  • The behavior shall be the same when the field is enabled for the individual dimensions.
  • Use this option if summary source address is selected but processing at posting level balances for multiple dimensions with large posting elements and not all have balances.
  • You cannot select both Allocate Year To Date or Allocate Life To Date and Process Posting Dimension Balances. If this field is selected, you cannot setup process posting balances by individual dimensions.
