Loading Journals

Journals are loaded using the Replace mode, which clears all data for a particular journal label before loading the new journal data.

You can load working, rejected, submitted, approved, and posted journals as well as standard and recurring journal templates. You must load posted journals to periods that are open. If you load a posted auto-reversing journal, an approved reversal is automatically generated in the next period. You must manually post the generated reversal.

Note:

You cannot load automated consolidation journals; they are created by the consolidation process.

If you load large journal files on the Web, you should modify IIS settings to increase the AspBuffering limit to avoid errors.

Web Procedure

Note:

Oracle recommends that you add Financial Management to the exceptions for your Web pop-up blocker. When you perform some Financial Management tasks on the Web such as loading data, a status window pops up showing the task status. If you have a pop-up blocker enabled on your computer, the status window is not displayed.

  To load journals:

  1. Open the application.

  2. In the Browser View, expand Tasks and select Load Tasks.

  3. Select Load Journals.

    Note:

    Before you can load journals, you must first open the periods to which to load journals. See “Managing Periods” in the Oracle Hyperion Financial Management User's Guide.

  4. For Journals File, enter the file name to load, or click Browse to find the file.

    Note:

    By default, journal files use the JLF file extension. The load process accepts other file extensions such as TXT or CSV, however, Oracle recommends that you use the JLF file extension.

  5. Click Load.

    Note:

    The system displays errors encountered during the load.
