Carry Forward

[Former Member]

Hi All,

For the carry forward in the flow dimension,

Option 1:

if let say we have following flow member (no hierarchy):

1. Opening
2. Addition
3. Deduction
4. Closing

The CopyOpening.LGF will copy from flow=closing to flow=Opening. Does this mean we have to create another script to calculate the closing = Opening+Addition+Deduction? If yes, where shall I put another script (is it in the default.lgf or CopyOpening.LGF at the buttom?)

Option 2:

If let say,I define the flow member with hierarchy below:

Closing

     =>Opening

     => Addition

     => Deduction

Do I still need to calculate the Closing? Or is it enough to maintain the configuration in the business rule (maintain parent i.e. Source Flow=Closing ?

Thank you.

Please read the document

Look on the FLOW_TYPE property of the FLOW dimension...

Hi Vadim,

I've read it and many other documents. I just do not understand why do we need to create following:

Closing_Calculated

     =>Opening

     => Addition

     => Deduction

and then create another Closing flow.

in the business rule, the IFRS configure source flow = closing (instead of closing_calculated). And then it has another script (in addition to the copyopening.lgf) to calculate closing = opening + Addition + Deduction.

Why don't just configure source flow = closing_calculated?

Thank you.

Hi

There is no need to maintain extra script for calculating closing balance.The addition and deduction is the part of business process.You can read this below document.
