Importing Data

To prepare your application, you load the following data:

• Book Data, including Trial Balance and Tax Return data

  Note:

  Trial Balance data should be loaded to TRCS_TBClosing Movement and FCCS_Data Input or FCCS_Managed Data Data Source. Other book data, for example, fixed asset tax depriciation, can be loaded to TRCS_BookClosing Movement and FCCS_Data Input or FCCS_Managed Data Data Source.

• Tax Account Data, including Permanent and Temporary adjustments, and tax loss and credit adjustments
• Payments and Refunds for Tax Rollforward
• Average Number of Employees (for Country by Country reporting)

Before you load data, ensure you are meet the following conditions:

• Load only to base members
• Ensure data contains only valid target amounts
• Ensure approval units to which you are loading are not already locked

After you import dimensions, you can populate data by importing data files.

Note:

When importing data, no validation is performed on intersections to determine which are valid, and data is loaded to all intersections. To review data that has been loaded into invalid intersections, run the Invalid Intersection report before importing data to see and clear invalid intersections. See Creating an Invalid Intersection Report.

To import data, you must be a Service Administrator or Power User.

You can load data using a text file with sections that map the file data to dimensions. When you load multiple data files, they are loaded in sequential order.

Note:

If you have a file that is not in the required format for Tax Reporting, or you need to control when the integration process exceeds the native data load utility, Service Administrators can set up profiles, create the data load rules, define mappings, and load data from an external system. See Importing and Exporting Data Using Data Management

To import data:

• Create an import file for each artifact that you want to import. See Creating the Data Import File.
• Load the import file or files (you can import multiple dimension files at the same time). See Loading the Data Import File.

Note:

Do not run reports, books, or batches while data is being loaded.
