Ownership Management Requirements for New Applications

To select the Ownership Management option for a new application:

• You must enable the Intercompany Data and the Track Intercompany Elimination options.

  If both are enabled, the Ownership Management option is available for selection.

• If you do not select Ownership Management during application creation, you can enable the feature later if both of these options are enabled.

Ownership Management Requirements for Existing Applications

To enable the Ownership Management option for an existing application:

• The Intercompany Data option must be enabled.

  If you do not have the Intercompany dimension enabled, you must re-create the application in order to use the Ownership Management feature.

• The Track Intercompany Elimination option must be enabled.

  You can enable this option in an existing application if the Intercompany dimension is enabled. See Enabling Application Features.

  After you enable a new feature in an existing application, you must reload the navigation flow.

  • On the Home page, click the down arrow next to the user name.

  • On the Setting and Actions menu, click Reload Navigation Flow.

Intercompany Dimension Members for Ownership Management

When you enable the Intercompany Data and Track Intercompany Elimination options, the system creates these dimension members:

• Intercompany Dimension

• FCCS_Elimination member of Consolidation Dimension

• FCCS_Intercompany Elimination member of Data Source Dimension

Member and Alias Considerations for Ownership Management

When you enable Ownership Management, the system adds new seeded Accounts and Movement members with aliases, to support the seeded consolidation rules. This may result in a "Duplicate Alias" error with the existing members in the application.

The following tables list the new Member Names and Aliases for the Account and Movement dimensions. For details all of the metadata changes, including the Consolidation and Data Source dimensions, see Ownership Management Metadata Changes.

Before you enable the Ownership Management feature, you must do the following steps:

• Review the lists of new seeded members. If you have already defined some members that serve the same purpose, you must delete them to avoid a conflict with the new seeded members.

• Review your existing Accounts and Movement members to ensure that there is no conflict with the Alias for the new members.

  Note that there will not be a conflict with names for the new members, as the new seeded members have a prefix of FCCS_xxx.

• If there is a conflict, you should modify your Alias prior to enabling the feature. Otherwise, you will encounter errors during migration or when refreshing the database.

• If you modify an Alias, you should also modify any existing artifacts in which it is referenced.

• You should either remove duplicate members from the referenced artifacts, or update the artifacts to reference the proper member.

After enabling Ownership Management, if you encounter errors with members and Aliases, check the Jobs console to see the details on which member Alias is in conflict.

Ownership Management Metadata Changes

When the Ownership Management option is enabled, the system implements these changes to metadata.
