5.3.1.3.2.1 Defining Behavior Pattern Rule Using Node Level Assumptions

Node Level Assumptions allow you to define assumptions at any level of the Product dimension Hierarchy. The Product dimension supports a hierarchical representation of your chart of accounts, so you can take advantage of the parent-child relationships defined for the various nodes of your product hierarchies while defining rules. Children of parent nodes on a hierarchy automatically inherit the assumptions defined for the parent nodes. However, assumptions explicitly defined for a child take precedence over those at the parent level.

Note:

Using the default currency to setup assumptions can save data input time. At run time, the calculation engine uses assumptions explicitly defined for a product currency combination. If assumptions are not defined for a currency, the engine uses the assumptions defined for the product and the default currency. If the assumptions are the same across some or all currencies for a specific product, you can input assumptions for the default currency. Be careful using this option on screens where an Interest Rate.

Prerequisites

Performing basic steps for creating or editing a Behavior Pattern rule.

Procedure

To define Behavior Pattern Rule using Node Level Assumptions, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the Behavior Pattern Rule Assumption Details Page.
2. Define the Conditions. For more information see Conditional Assumptions section.
3. After defining the conditions, select the Behavior Pattern from Behavior Pattern drop-down list. Here, the Behavior Pattern drop-down list shows the list of existing Behavior Patterns.

   Click below icon to view the details of selected Behavior Pattern.

   You can select only one Behavior Pattern at a time.

4. Click Apply.

When you click Save, the Behavior Pattern Rule assumptions are saved and the Behavior Pattern Rule Summary Page is displayed.
