Configurable Multiple set of Default Attributes and optional Threshold for Plug Entry Creation in Balance Reconciliation

Balance Reconciliation supports multiple default-attribute sets for generated plug entries, including payment terms, original term, repricing frequency, and accrual and compounding basis. Defaults can be configured against leaf members or hierarchy parents and can be maintained for multiple product dimensions like Product, Common Chart of Accounts, or placeholder product dimension. The threshold is made optional in task component and, when provided, is applied as a symmetric range. Eligible differences can be converted into plug entries through the user interface as well, with processing logs available from the Summary page.

Reduces manual enrichment of reconciliation plugs and applies consistent product assumptions through hierarchy inheritance. Optional symmetric thresholds prevent immaterial differences from creating plug entries, while UI-based creation and logs improve operational control and auditability.

Steps to enable and configure

1. After upgrading to 26D, click Apply in Default Mapping for the default attribute hierarchies.
2. In Default Attributes, configure multiple attribute sets for the selected product dimension and assign them to hierarchy parents or leaves. Children inherit parent settings unless a lower-node configuration overrides them; leaf-level defaults take precedence.
3. In reconciliation batch Task Parameters, optionally enter Threshold. For example, 5% excludes differences from -5% to +5%; differences outside this range qualify for plug entries. Leave blank to consider all qualifying differences without threshold exclusion.

Tips and considerations

Optional Uptake.
