Manage changes to IGFC content

Changes to content must be reflected to other IGFC setups that reference the updated content. This table lists the tasks that must be performed, as applicable, based on the content that was updated.

Updated content Changes to the related setups
BOD name
  • Update the grouping element in the Attributes page to refer to the new name.
  • Specify the argument or operand for expressions that references the BOD name as an attribute value source.
  • For accounting framework integration, re-select the journal entry templates setup that directly references the BOD name as an attribute value source.
  • Update rule script statement that directly references the BOD name.
  • Re-activate the rule that directly or indirectly references the BOD name (through expressions) in the rule script.
Note: Master data BOD names can no longer be modified once activated.
Attribute name For master data and custom master data attribute names:
  • Re-select the search filters that use the updated attribute.
  • For previously activated documents, re-activate the master data or custom master data document to reflect changes to attribute name or addition of new attributes. This results to a new column with an empty value for the master data table in the database or in the data entry table for custom master data. Previously published master data documents need to be re-published or data entry records need to be specified.
  • For flexible output integration:
    • Re-select the argument for expressions that references the master data attribute as a value source.
    • Update the rule script statement that directly references the master data attribute.
    • Re-activate the rule that directly or indirectly references the master data attribute (through expressions) in the rule script.
For transactional attribute names:
  • Re-select the argument for expressions that references the attribute as a value source.
  • For accounting framework integration, re-select the journal entry templates setup that directly references the attribute name as an attribute value source.
  • Update the rule script statement that directly references the attribute.
  • Re-activate the rule that directly or indirectly references the attribute (through expressions) in the rule script.
Search template
  • Re-activate the master data or custom master data document where the search template is created.
  • For addition of search template parameters, update the search template type expression by adding an argument.
  • For update in search template name and removal of search template parameters, update the search template type expression by saving the record.
  • Re-activate the rule that directly or indirectly references the expression (through another expression) in the rule script.
Expression Re-activate the rule that directly or indirectly references the expression (through another expression) in the rule script.
Rule script Re-activate the rule.
