Translation Method
If an entity has a different local currency than its parent, specify a translation method.
See: Translation Method, page 12-1
Uploading Hierarchy Structures
When you create or duplicate a hierarchy, you can create the hierarchy structure using a
spreadsheet loader.
The following rules apply to the hierarchy loader:
•
If default translation or consolidation methods are defined, these columns are
optional.
•
If a child entity's currency is the same as that of its parent, a translation method is
not required.
•
A consolidation entity, elimination entity, and its controlling entity are treated as
one entity, under the name of the consolidation entity.
•
After you upload the spreadsheet to Financial Consolidation Hub, you can further
modify and add to the hierarchy using the Create Consolidation Hierarchy: Define
Structure page.
After you upload a hierarchy, the hierarchy structure is validated before it is accepted
and made available. If there are any errors, an error message is displayed and the entire
structure is not accepted. You can view the upload errors by downloading the
spreadsheet. Invalid spreadsheet cells are marked with red and the descriptions of the
errors are written in the error message column of the spreadsheet. After you fix the
errors, you can resubmit the spreadsheet. The successfully uploaded hierarchy appears
in the Create Consolidation Hierarchy: Define Structure page.
Updating Consolidation Hierarchies
You can make date-effective changes to the structure of a consolidation hierarchy. This
includes additions and deletions of entities as well as updates to relationship attributes.
The Effective Date field in the Update Consolidation Hierarchy Page enables you to
view the hierarchy as of any date specified. It also determines the date upon which
Note:
The spreadsheet loader is not a WebADI spreadsheet loader.
Warning:
The existing structure for the hierarchy you are creating will
be replaced by a spreadsheet upload.
