When you calculate data, the system runs calculation rules for the scenario, year, period, entity, and value that you specify. For example, you can calculate the current month’s opening balances by using the prior month’s closing balances.
Calculation rules for all prior time periods within the same year are also run if they have not been run previously. Because calculation rules do not consolidate source entities or execute translation, the status (for example, needs translation or consolidation) is not removed from the cell. Even if the input accounts are not current, calculation uses that data to derive calculated accounts.
