Persist Dimension Attribute Values in Supplemental Data Forms and Enterprise Journals When Updated or Deleted Within the Dimension

Within Supplemental Data, you can now choose to persist historical dimensional attribute values on existing data forms. Within the Collection Attributes screen, a new column called Persist is displayed for all attributes of a dimension. In this column, you can select the check box for an attribute to indicate that its value should persist in the referenced forms. If the dimension attribute is updated, then the changes won’t be updated in the forms where the attribute is referenced. If you don’t select this check box, then the referenced attribute is updated with the latest changes.

For Enterprise Journals, the new default behavior will automatically persist historical dimensional attribute values on all existing Journals.

When you delete a dimension attribute, it will no longer be included when creating new Supplemental Data Forms or Enterprise Journals. However, the dimension attribute will remain within any existing forms and journals.

Applies To: Financial Consolidation and Close and Tax Reporting
