Defining Location Attributes

Location attributes enable you to refine which type of data is loaded by location. For example, you can select a functional currency such as the US dollar.

To edit location attributes:

1. From the Data Integration home page, click to the right of an integration to which to define location attributes and then select General from the drop-down.

2. On the Edit Integration page, click Location Attributes.

3. From Functional Currency, specify the currency of the location.

4. From Parent Location, enter the parent assigned to the location.

   Parent mappings are used to share mappings with other locations. Enter mappings at the parent location, and the related locations can use the same mappings. Multiple locations can share a parent. This feature is useful when multiple locations use one chart of accounts. Changes to a child or parent mapping table apply to all child and parent locations.

   Note:

   If a location has a parent, the mappings are carried over to the child. However; changes to mapping can only be performed on the parent location.

5. From Logic Account Group, specify the logic account group to assign to the location.

   A logic group contains one or more logic accounts that are generated after a source file is loaded. Logic accounts are calculated accounts that are derived from the source data.

   The list of values for a logic group is automatically filtered based on the Target Application under which it was created.

6. From Check Entity Group, specify the check entity group to assign to the location.

   When a check entities group is assigned to the location, the check report runs for all entities that are defined in the group. If no check entities group is assigned to the location, the check report runs for each entity that was loaded to the target system. Data Management check reports retrieve values directly from the target system, Data Integration source data, or Data Integration converted data.

   The list of values for a check entity group is automatically filtered based on the target application under which it was created.

7. From Check Rule Group, specify the check rule group to assign to the location.

   System administrators use check rules to enforce data integrity. A set of check rules is created within a check rule group, and the check rule group is assigned to a location. Then, after data is loaded to the target system, a check report is generated.

   The list of values for a check rule group is automatically filtered based on the target application under which it was created.

8. Click Save.
