For Flow accounts, the system posts according to the rules specified for the scenario. When administrators define rules for the application, they define the cells that are available for entering intercompany transactions. Administrators can define the period frequency in each scenario to determine which periods support transactions, based on the valid frequencies defined in the PER file. Valid frequencies for a monthly scenario are MTD, QTD, HYTD, and YTD and can also be used to specify the period frequency for supporting transactions. See the Oracle Hyperion Financial Management Administrator’s Guide.
For example, if the scenario is set up to accept intercompany transactions on a Quarterly frequency, the system only allows intercompany transactions to be entered for March, June, September, and December. For the other nonquarterly months, the system only allows users to enter the cell amounts manually without entering any transactions. However, for the transactions being entered for the quarterly months, you should enter all transactions for the entire quarter, not just the quarterly months. For example, in March, you should enter transactions for January, February, and March, so that the drill-down to the transactions matches the YTD amount.
