Mapping Reconciliation Compliance Transactions Attributes to Dimensions

When you map a Reconciliation Compliance Transactions target application, the dimension details of the application are populated automatically on the Map Dimensions page

Dimension names must match exactly with attribute names in Account Reconciliation. If the dimension is for a standard and custom attributes, its name should be exactly as specified here and should not be changed.

By default "Profile" is mapped to the "Account" (Reconciliation Account ID) target dimension class and "Period" is mapped to the "Period" target dimension class.

The following dimensions are assigned to the Attribute target dimension class and are mapped to the ATTR1 to ATTR4 columns respectively. If mappings rules are needed for these dimensions, change them to Lookup dimension types and map them to UD (user-defined) columns. Attribute dimensions can have no mapping rules.

Table 17-5 Default List of Dimensions

Dimension Name Target Dimension Class DB Table Column
Short Description Attribute ATTR1
Long Description Attribute ATTR2
Transaction Date Attribute ATTR3
Close Date Attribute ATTR4

For more information about Lookup dimensions, see Adding Lookup Dimensions.

The following are standard dimensions and the names should not be changed. Dimensions for unused currency buckets can be deleted.

Table 17-6 Standard Dimension Details

Dimension Name Target Dimension Class DB Table Column
Amount (Entered) Attribute ATTR5
Currency (Entered) Attribute ATTR6
Amount (Functional) Attribute ATTR7
Currency (Functional) Attribute ATTR8
Amount (Reporting) Attribute ATTR9
Currency (Reporting) Attribute ATTR10

Other standard dimensions are shown below. These can either be Lookup or attribute dimensions. Because Reconciliation Compliance Transactions allow the same custom attributes to be assigned to the transaction itself and its action plan, the system differentiates between custom attributes for the transaction and custom attributes for the action plan. In this case, the system prefixes Action Plan at the beginning of dimension names for action plan attributes.

To define dimension details for a Reconciliation Compliance Transactions application:

  1. From the Data Integration home page, click Image shows Select icon. to the right of the Reconciliation Compliance Transactions target integration, and then select Map Dimensions.
  2. From Import Format, select the name of the import format to use for the integration.

    You can also add a user defined import format name.

  3. From Type, select Delimited-All Data Type.

    The Delimited–All Data Type load all data types from a delimited file format.

  4. From Delimiter, select the character to use for delimiting columns in the output file.

    A delimited file contains one or more records set off from each other by a specified delimiter.

    Available options:

    • Comma (,)

    • Pipe (|)

    • Exclamation (!)

    • Semicolon (;)

    • Colon (:)

    • Tab

    • Tilde (~)

  5. In the mappings grid, map the source columns in the source data-load file to the dimensions in the target application.

    The dimensions from the Reconciliation Compliance Transactions target application are populated automatically.

    If the import format has already been defined for the file, then the source and target columns are mapped automatically.

  6. Click Save.
