Defining Management Ledger Rule Sets

To define a rule set for one POV of a Management Ledger model:

1. In an open Management Ledger model, select Manage Rules in the Manage Program group (About the Management Ledger Manage Rules Areas).
2. In the Manage Rules content area (Figure 10-2, enter the year and period for a valid POV, and then click the Refresh button,
3. In the Rule Sets area, click or select Actions and then select Create Rule Set (Figure 10-4).

4. Enter a name for the rule set.
5. Optional: In the Description box, enter a description of the rule set.
6. Enter a Sequence number to determine the order in which the rule set runs.
7. Optional: Select Enabled to indicate that the rule set is active when the calculation is performed.
8. Select an execution type to indicate how the rule set calculations should run:

   • Serial Execution, the default, runs all rules in the rule set sequentially, depending on their sequence number.

   • Parallel Execution runs rules with the same sequence number at the same time if computer hardware supports that.

   • Iterative Execution runs the rule set multiple times in sequence; Number of Iterations indicates the number of iterations to run.

9. If selected, Use Global Context indicates that the global context should be applied to the current rule set, if one hs been defined.
10. Optional: Define a rule set context to apply dimension defaults to all rules in the rule set (Defining and Managing Management Ledger Rule Set Contexts).
11. When the rule set definition is complete, click (Save).

To edit and delete rule sets, see Managing Management Ledger Rule Sets.
