Recalculation of Logic Accounts and Maps

When a mapping or a logic account is modified, FDM must recalculate. The recalculation process first reprocesses all logic accounts and then, against the current mapping tables, remaps all imported source data. When FDM detects that recalculation is required, an orange calculate icon is displayed in the lower left corner of the POV bar.

At this point, you cannot load data into the target system until you re-validate the ledger data (by clicking the Validate link). You can click the calculate icon to force recalculation. However, even after a forced recalculation, FDM requires you to re-validate. If the location being recalculated is a parent location, when you click the calculate icon, you are asked whether you want to force recalculation of all child locations, in addition to the parent location.

Recalculation occurs only for the category and period set in the POV. This restriction ensures that the mapping audit trail remains intact for prior periods and other categories. If you want to apply a map or logic-account modification to other periods or categories, the POV must be changed, and a manual recalculation must be performed (by selecting Activities > Process Logic/Maps). FDM reprocesses all logic accounts and remaps the imported source data against the current map.
