9       Translation of Instrument Level Balance to Reporting Currency

Reporting currency ledgers are representations of a primary or secondary ledger in another currency for reporting purposes. Reporting currencies share the same chart of accounts, accounting calendar, and accounting method as their related ledger. You can use reporting currencies for online inquires, reporting, and consolidation.

Currency Translation Process

The Currency Translation process is performed in the PMF page.

To design and execute the Currency Translation process, follow these steps:

 

NOTE

You must set the Reporting Currency in the Legal Entity Settings.

 

1.     From OFSAA Home, select Financial Services Balance Computation Engine, select Orchestration, and then select Process Modeller. The Process Modeler page is displayed.

·        Stream Pipeline

Registered Topics

Note:

This functionality is currently not applicable to OFSBCE.

Spark DB

Enable the Spark DB option if you are executing the Run for Hive metadata.

Infodom

Select the information domain from the Infodom drop-down list in which the Run Pipeline must be created. The list displays all the infodoms mapped to the applications configured in your OFSAA instance.

Tag

Enter the text that can be used as search keywords or helpful in defining a relationship between two or more Pipelines.

Segment

Select the application segment. The options are as follows:

·        BCESEG: OFSBCE segment

·        BFNDSEG: OFSDF segment

 

4.     To save the details and launch the Process Flow designing page, click Save And Launch.

5.     In the Process Flow designing page, design a Currency Translation Process flow Run pipeline using the floating toolbar and a drawing canvas. Use the drawing canvas to design the process flow with the Tools, Activities, and OFSAA Widgets components available in the floating toolbar with Service Task as the base. In the illustration, the Service Task represents GL type for Management Period Balance Currency Conversion set in the Currency Conversion Settings section.

6.     Save the Currency Translation Process flow.

7.     The Currency Translation Process is listed in the Process Modeler page. To select the Run parameters and execute the Run, follow these steps:

a.     In the Process Modeler page, click  corresponding to the Translation Process Run Pipeline that must be executed.

Field Name

Description or Instruction

Portfolio Identifier

Select the reqiured Portfolio definition and the filter applies on the dataset with the members selected for this Portfolio.

Run

Select the defined Run.

 

9.     When you click OK, the Run execution begins. The Select Run Params page closes .

 

NOTE

The execution of the Run Pipeline is triggered using the selected FIC MIS DATE. The Run SKey is generated and inserted into the “DIM_RUN” table. For the Run SKey generated, the corresponding user-selected Run parameters are inserted into the “RUN_EXE_PARAMETERS” table.

 

NOTE

See the chapter Executing Run through Process Modelling Framework in OFSDF in the Oracle Financial Services Data Foundation Application Pack User Guide Release 8.1.0.0.0, for information about the sections for information about the following sections:

·        Verifying the Run Execution

·        Aborting, Resuming, or Rerunning the Run Pipeline Process

·        Verifying the Execution Logs

 

For detailed information about complete functioning of the PMF, see the Oracle Financial Services Analytical Applications Infrastructure Process Modelling Framework Orchestration Guide Release 8.1.0.0.0.

10.  To open the Process Monitor page, in the Process Modeler page, click the  icon or select Process Flow Monitor from the .

11.  The Process Monitor page opens displaying all the Run instances corresponding to the Translate Management Ledger Period Balances process. Or, in the Process Monitor page, search by Process ID, or by the Process Name Translate Management Ledger Period Balances, and select the process instance for the required Run pipeline (process) that was executed to verify the status and logs.
