What's the impact of running the Create Budgetary Control Balances Cube process with the incorrect budget calendar name and how do I fix it?

These are the impacts:

  • Cube Data Mismatch
    • The budgetary control cube will be created based on the incorrect calendar. This can result in:
      • Mismatched periods between budget entries and actual transactions.
      • Errors or inaccuracies in budget availability reporting.
  • Budget Control Issues
    • If the incorrect calendar doesn't align with the ledger calendar or the intended budget structure:
      • Funds validation might fail during transactions.
      • Incorrect period definitions could prevent proper budget checks.
Caution: You should do the following first in a test environment where you replicate the issue, and then address this in production.
To fix the incorrect budget calendar name, re-run the Create Budgetary Control Balances Cube process with the correct budget calendar:
  1. Navigate to Setup and Maintenance > Budgetary Control and Encumbrance Accounting.
  2. Run the Create Budgetary Control Balances Cube process.
  3. Provide the correct Budget Calendar Name in the process parameters.
After rebuilding the cube, verify the setup:
  • Check that the periods in the budget calendar align with the ledger calendar.
  • Validate budgetary control rules to ensure transactions are checked against the correct periods.
