Tax Reporting Validations

Validations ensure data integrity. The following validations run for Tax Reporting applications.

Note:

Validations in the external Tax Reporting application are implemented as Recommendations and are not enforced on the simple or classic dimension editors. By default, Tax Reporting validations in Oracle Enterprise Data Management Cloud are implemented with the Error severity. You can change the severity to Warning. See Understanding Validation Severity.

In addition to these Tax Reporting validations, system and generic validations are run on nodes, hierarchies, viewpoints, and properties in the application. See System Validations and Generic Validations.

Note:

For validations with a scope of Viewpoint in the table below, for hierarchy-set bound viewpoints the validation is run for the bound viewpoint.
Name Description Scope
Alias Application Uniqueness Alias is not unique across the dimensions in the application Bound node types across the application

Alias Uniqueness

Alias are not unique among a group of sibling nodes

Siblings
Consolidated ETR (Account dimension only) Descendants of any of the following nodes have the CETR value assigned to the Consolidated ETR attribute:
  • TRCS_TempGSTotal
  • TRCS_TempSTTotal
  • TRCS_TaxLossesCFSTotal
  • TRCS_TaxCreditTotal
  • TRCS_VATotal
  • TRCS_RTempTotal
  • TRCS_RTaxLossesPreCFSTotal
  • TRCS_RTaxCreditTotal
  • TRCS_RVATotal
  • TRCS_RTaxAttribTotal
 Viewpoint
Cube Data Storage

Default Data Storage is Shared or Label Only but Data Storage for cube is not Shared or Label Only

 Node
Current Additional Total Accounts Shared (Account dimension only) Bottom node descendants of TRCS_CurrentAddtlTotal must also be shared descendants of TRCS_CurrentAddtlETRTotal Viewpoint

Data Storage

Only one instance of a node can be set to non-shared data storage. All other instances of the node must be Shared.

 Viewpoint

Date Attribute Name

Bottom level node names in a date attribute dimension are not in mm-dd-yyyy format

Property
Domicile (Entity dimension only) Domicile has to be set for all bottom node entities and also for the parent entities which have Parent Tax calculation enabled. Viewpoint

Exchange Rate Type

Exchange Rate Type is not None and Data Type is not Currency

Node

Formula Allowed

Data Storage is not Dynamic Calc or Dynamic Calc and Store

Node
Intercompany Entity Validation (Entity dimension only) Intercompany should be set on bottom entities only

Node

Member Name Conflicts

Member name is the same as a dimension name, a cube, or an attribute dimension defined for the current application

Node and data chain

Name Uniqueness

Member name is not unique across all nodes used in an application

 Bound node types across the application
NCI Account (Account dimension only) NCI Account should only be set on a Permanent Difference Stat to Tax or GAAP to Stat Account

Node

Numeric Attribute Name

Bottom level node names in a numeric attribute dimension are not in numeric format

Property

Plan Types

Plan Type is set to True but the parent does not have a True value

Note:

This validation is skipped if the parent is a predefined member.

Viewpoint
Plug Accounts (Account dimension only) Intercompany Account must be Yes and Is Plug Account must not be set to define a Plug Account

Node

Predefined Member

You cannot edit the Predefined Member node or property

Node

Shared Member before Base Member

 Shared members appear above base members in a hierarchy Viewpoint
Single NCI Account (Account dimension only) At most one tax account should have the NCI Account set Viewpoint

Smart List Required

Smart List is missing for member if Data Type is Smart List

Node

Source Plan Type

Source Plan Type is not a valid Plan Type for the member

Node
Tax Data and Tax Data Type (Account dimension only) Bottom node descendants of TRCS_TaxAccounts must have both the Tax Type and Tax Data Type attributes assigned. Viewpoint

Variance Reporting

Variance Reporting is not Expense when Account Type is Expense or Variance Reporting is Non-Expense if Account Type is anything other than Expense or Saved Assumption.

Node
Weighted Ownership Account (Account dimension only) At most one tax account should have the Weighted Ownership Account set. Viewpoint

Invalid Characters, First Characters, and Values for Tax Reporting

When you register a Tax Reporting application, validations for invalid characters, first characters, and values are automatically configured for the Core.Name and Alias properties. For a list of these characters and values, see Restrictions for Dimensions, Members, Aliases, and Forms in Administering Tax Reporting

You can edit these values by editing the property parameters. See Editing Property Parameters
