Business Scenario:

Balance Carry Forward: The closing balance of one year will normally equal the
opening balance of the following year. Therefore, the first task for a new fiscal year
is to carry forward the balance from the previous year. In general, the purpose of
balance carry forward is to:

Create opening balances in the new fiscal year
Assign current year retained earnings to prior year retained earnings
Roll up prior year values into new year opening balances if necessary

Account Reclassification: Account transformation rule enables us to reclassify the
data or records. This business rule is used to calculate cash flow and perform other
realignments of data. That is why this rule is also called account transformation. In
general the purpose of this rule in general to:

Perform cash flow calculations
Calculate annual net income and post it to retained earnings
Book subsidiary finished goods into corporate work in process inventory
Realign any other data or records as per the business requirements

Supporting Properties: The properties are one of the most important
building blocks (for the BCF business rule). There is no required
property for the account reclassification business rule.

Supporting properties for the BCF are as follows:

Property ID Dimension to Which It Belongs
FLOW_TYPE S- Subtables
COPYOPENING D-Audit
OPENING_DATASRC D-Audit
DATASRC_TYPE D-Audit
CATEGORY_FOR_OPE C- Category
OPENING_YEAR C- Category
OPENING_PERIOD C- Category

FLOW_TYPE: This property identifies which FLOW member is
associated with the opening values and which one is associated with the
closing values. The relevant values for the property are: OPENING,
CLOSING and NONE.

COPYOPENING: This property is used to include or exclude an AUDIT
TRAIL member in the BCF process. The relevant values are: Y and N.
Y stands for YES and N stands for No.

OPENING_DATASRC: This property specifies the particular destination
DATA SOURCE (AUDIT TRAIL member) that the opening balances
should be written to. This property helps to map between opening and
closing data sources (or AUDIT TRAIL members). This property can take

________________________________________________________________________



01/01/2012
any valid AUDIT TRAIL member ID. If left blank, the system will assume
that the source and destination AUDIT TRAIL members are the same.

DATASRC_TYPE: This property can take three values- I (Input), M
(Manual) and A (Automatic). The BCF process works only for those
AUDIT TRAIL members who have this property value flagged as I or M.
The consolidation process carries forward the automatic values by
default.

CATEGORY_FOR_OPE: This property specifies the CATEGORY from
which to copy the closing balances (to create the opening balances). If
left blank, the system will assume that the source and destination
categories are the same. This property is used when final closing
balances are not available at the opening period and an alternative
category (such as ESTIMATE for the BUDGET) is used for the
opening balances.

OPENING_PERIOD: This property specifies the YEAR from which to
copy the closing balances (to create the opening balances). This
property can take an absolute value such as 2011 or 2012 or an offset
value such as -2 or -1.The offset values are based on the offset from the
current year. If left blank the system assumes that the closing balances
are copied from the last year.

OPENING_PERIOD: This property specifies the PERIOD from which to
take the closing balances (to create the opening balances). This property
can take an absolute value such as FEBRUARY or MARCH or an offset
value such as -2 or -1.The offset values are based on the offset from the

________________________________________________________________________



01/01/2012
last period in the prior year. If left blank the system assumes that the
closing balances are copied from the last period in the prior year.

________________________________________________________________________



01/01/2012
Business Rule Table:

The business rule table controls the record selection process. The
record selection process is controlled by populating the source and
destination fields. Here we can select accounts that are to be moved, as
well as other dimension members associated with such accounts.

Business Rule Table for the Balance Carry Forward Process:

Source Account: This specifies the ACCOUNT member from which to
copy the closing balances (to create the opening balances). This could be
a base member, a parent member or a Dimlist property value.

Source Flow: This specifies the FLOW member from which to move the
closing balances (to create the opening balances). This could be a base
member, a parent member or a Dimlist property value.

Source Data Source: This specifies the AUDIT TRAIL member from
which to move the closing balances (to create the opening balances).
This could be a base member, a parent member, or a Dimlist property
value.

________________________________________________________________________



01/01/2012
Destination Account: This specifies the ACCOUNT member where the
openings balances will be copied. This could be a base member or a
parent member. If left blank, the system will assume that the source and
destination account members are the same.

Destination Flow: This specifies the FLOW member where the
openings balances will be created. This could be a base member or a
destination flow members are the same.

Destination Data Source: This specifies the AUDIT TRAIL member
where the openings balances will be copied. This could be a base
member or a parent member. If left blank, the system will assume that
the source and destination audit trail members are the same.

Reverse Sign: If checked, this will reverse the sign of the source value.
This is used when we have to reverse the opening balances for some
children who are selected automatically with a parent member. This
could also be used when the source and destination accounts have
different Account Types.

Data Source Type: This is to select the data source type to include I
(Input), M (Manual), or A (All).

Same Period: If checked, the closing balance period is the same as that
of the opening balance period. Otherwise the closing period will be the
last period of the prior year. The opening balance time is specified in the
data manager prompt.

________________________________________________________________________



01/01/2012
Apply to YTD: This option is used in a periodic model to move/copy
YTD values.

Business Rule Table for the Account Reclassification Process:

We can create multiple rules with different ID names under the account
reclassification business rule. These rules then are then called by
different logic files though the process chain remains the same. The
following rule with ID CF has been created to calculate the cash flows.

Source Account: This specifies the ACCOUNT member from which to
move/copy the data or record. This could be a base member, a parent
member or a Dimlist property value.

Category: This specifies the CATEGORY member from which to

Source Flow: This specifies the FLOW member from which to

________________________________________________________________________



01/01/2012

Source Data Source: This specifies the AUDITTRAIL member from
which to move/copy the data or record. This could be a base member, a
parent member or a Dimlist property value.

Destination Account: This specifies the ACCOUNT member where the
data or record is to be copied. This could be a base member or a parent
member. If left blank, the system will assume that the source and

Destination Category: This specifies the CATEGORY member where
the data or record is to be copied. This could be a base member or a

Destination Flow: This specifies the FLOW member where the data or
record is to be copied. This could be a base member or a parent
member. If left blank, the system will assume that the source and

Destination Data Source: This specifies the AUDIT TRAIL member
where the data or record is to be copied. This could be a base member
or a parent member. If left blank, the system will assume that the source
and destination account members are the same.

Reverse Sign: If checked, this will reverse the sign of the source value.

Source Period and Source Year: This is to specify the year and period
from which to copy the data or record. If left blank, the source year and

________________________________________________________________________



01/01/2012
period is same as that of the destination year and period. Destination
time is specified in the data manager prompt.

Apply to YTD: This option is used in a periodic model to move/copy
YTD values.

Level: This controls the sequence of execution for each row.

Logic and Data Manager:

Logic for Balance Carry Forward Process

The Data Manager uses the process chain /CPMB/OPENING_BALANCES
and executes the logic contained in the file COPYOPENING.LGF

Logic for Account Reclassification

It is important to note that the CF in CALC=CF is the ID given under
Account Reclassification/Transformation business rule.

________________________________________________________________________



01/01/2012
The Data Manager uses the process chain /CPMB/RUNCALCACCOUNT
and executes the logic contained in the file CALC_ACCOUNT.LGF
