Selecting Dimension Members for Journal Detail
The journal detail contains a set of dimension members that you define to specify the data accessed for a specific journal. Each journal saves the journal detail with dimension information you select, which is displayed automatically the next time that you open the journal.
The point of view displays the members for the Scenario, Year, Period, and Value dimensions. To set the point of view for the journal detail, you can right-click a journal row. The system displays the point of view from which you can select the member for each dimension. To create journals for parent adjustments, you select the Parent Adjs member for the Value dimension. For each line of journal detail, you must specify a Parent member if the Value dimension is Parent Currency Adj, Parent Adj, or Contribution Adj. In addition, you must specify an entity, account, intercompany partner, and Custom dimension.
The system displays entities based on the Value dimension that you select for the journal. If the selected Value dimension is Entity Currency Adjs or Parent Currency Adjs, the system displays a list of entities that have the Allow Adjustments application attribute enabled. If the selected Value dimension is Contribution Adjs or Parent Adjs, the system displays a list of entities that have the Allow Adjustments from Children application attribute enabled.
