Viewing Active Entities

If your application is set up to support the Organization by Period setting, you can view the list of active children under a parent. Organization by Period enables you to preserve historical organizational structures and have them co-exist in an application with the current organization. These organizational changes may be due to acquisitions, disposals, mergers, or reorganizations.

Organization by Period is determined through the use of the Organization by Period setting and the Active system account. The Active account value controls whether the entity should be included in the consolidation.

The option to filter active entities is enabled only after you select a scenario, year, and period in the point of view.

You can view or change the value for Active accounts through data grids. In the point of view, you must select Active as the account, and System as the Intercompany Partner dimension list.

To view active entities:

1. From the Point of View bar, click a dimension.
2. From the Member Selection dialog box, select a member list.
3. Select Active Only.

   Note:

   This option is available only if the application is set up for Organization by Period.

4. Click OK.
