Rule Data Validation Report

Rule Data Validation reports help you verify that all required source and driver data is included for allocation rules and custom calculation rules in a Profitability and Cost Management application. The report shows all of the intersections for the selected rule’s source and driver as well as any rule and driver data totals and number of total records. Alternatively, you can select just the total summary data.

Tip:

Running the detail on these reports can take a long time and produce a large report. Try displaying the summary as a first step.

If the intersection count is greater than 1000, only the first 100 intersections are displayed. If either Source Data or Driver Data is not selected, that portion of the report is blank.

Figure 14-3 shows total summary data for the selected rule’s source and data intersections as well as data for each intersection. Cost Center accounts supply source data. Source data is missing here.

This report shows application name and type, the POV, rule set name, rule name, data option, whether source and driver data are used, the source data total and driver data total, the source data intersection count, and a listing of intersections and their values.

Figure 14-4 shows the format of driver data for the Rule Data Validation report. This report shows driver data intersection count and a list of driver intersections with values.
