10 Working with Business Rules

A business rule consists of calculations that are grouped into components. A rule can contain one or more components, templates, or rules.

Tax Reporting provides a number of business rules that have been designed to easily perform a task or calculation in the application.

2. On the Business Rules screen, click All Cubes to select the cubes to which you want to apply the business rule:
   • All

   • Rates
   • CbCR
3. Click All Rule Types to select the type of rule you want to use, and then click Apply:

5. Click Launch to apply the business rule.

Note that, if any business rule is attached to a form, there are 2 ways to run the rule from the form:

• Invoking Business Rule from the Actions menu (Actions → Rule)
• Invoking Business Rule by right-clicking on the Form

  Note:

  If you invoke Business Rule by right-clicking on a cell in the form, the runtime prompts will be picked up from the cell context.

As a best practice, avoid attaching a long running business rule, like Consolidation or Translation to a form Save or Load events.
