9.4.3.1 Balance Computation Management Ledger Process

This is the Run pipeline (Process) to compute the daily movements, period-to-date, period-to-date, and backdated execution of average balances in OFSBCE.

To compute the daily movements, period-to-date, and period-to-date average balance processes using the Balance Computation Management Ledger process, follow these steps:

1. From OFSAA Home, select the Financial Services Balance Computation Engine, select the Administration. In the Information Domain list, select the information domain required for OFSBCE. Then click the Process Modelling Framework tile. A submenu is displayed. To access the Process Modeller, click Process Modeller. The Process Modeller page opens. In the following illustration, the out of the box Balance Computation Management Ledger Process is shown.

2. Select the Balance Computation Management Ledger process. The corresponding process flow is displayed in a page. This process flow is designed using the drawing canvas with the Transition, Activity, and Widgets components available in the toolbar and with Service Task as the base. Each Service Task represents GL type for Assets, Liabilities, Expenses, Revenue, Gains, Losses, Contra Asset, Contra Liability, and Owner’s Equity. The Service tasks are sequenced in the order of the Backdated process, Daily Balances process, and Average Balances process. The tasks are repeated in the Run for each General Ledger Type and are executed in parallel.

      Note:

      • Data Flow Step
        • Load Legal Entity Dimension as parent-child data and identify all valid records using LRI= Y. A valid hierarchy with one single root is expected in the table.
        • Configure all the legal entities with Unrealized Gain/Unrealized Loss GL Accounts.
      • Execution Step
        • Select parent Legal Entity in Computation Run (PMF parameter).
        • Start Computation Run and find all the children of Legal Entity selected in the PMF parameter.
        • Once the child nodes have been identified, perform balance computation of only the child nodes under the node that is selected as parent. It is expected that data will be present for the leaf nodes in Legal Entity dimension.
        Locking is required only for the parent LE selected in the PMF.
      To save the details, click Save icon. In the Process Flow canvas, click Save to save the process flow.
5. In the Process Modeller page, click corresponding to the Balance Computation Management Ledger Run process that must be executed. Click Execute Run.

      To save the details, click Save. In the Process Flow canvas, click Save to save the process flow. Select or enter the required values for each field as follows.

      Table 9-2 Balance Computation Management Ledger process - Execution page field names and description

      Field Name	Description or Instruction
      Legal Entity	Use the icon to select the required Legal Entity Code to identify the legal entity used for the Run. If the selected Legal Entity node during Balance Computation execution is a parent node in DIM_ORG_STRUCTURE table, then all its children will be considered during Balance Computation Run. If the selected Legal Entity node is a leaf, then only the selected Legal Entity will be considered. If the Balance Computation execution is already executed using Legal Entity node which is a leaf, further executions should be done using leaf legal entities only and not its parent Legal Entity. In case of multiple legal entity execution, you must configure all the legal entities with Unrealized Gain/Unrealized Loss General Ledger Accounts in FSI_LE_PROPS table. Locking of all the legal entities is also required in FSI_LE_PERIOD_SETUP table.
      FIC MIS Date	Use the calendar icon to select the extraction date.
      Run Execution Description	Enter a longer description of the Run.
      Data Origin	Use the selection icon to select the required Data Origin from the Available Values list and click OK.

7. To save the details and execute the Run, click Save.

   Note:

   The execution of the Balance Computation Management Ledger Run process is triggered using the selected FIC MIS DATE. The Run SKey is generated and inserted into the DIM_RUN table. For the Run SKey generated, the corresponding user-selected Run parameters are inserted into the RUN_EXE_PARAMETERS table.

   • To abort, resume, or rerun the Run Pipeline Process, see the Abort Run Pipeline, Resume Run Pipeline, and Re-run Run Pipeline sections respectively.
   • To verify the execution logs, see the Viewing Activity Execution Logs and Viewing Execution Log for Widgets sections.
8. To verify the Run execution status of the Balance Computation Management Ledger process, follow these steps:
   1. To open the Process Monitor page, in the Process Modeller page, click Process Flow Monitor icon or select Process Flow Monitor from the Process Modeller menu.
   2. The Process Monitor page opens displaying all the Run instances corresponding to the Balance Computation Management Ledger process. In the Process Monitor page, for the required Run pipeline (process) that was executed, search the Run instance by Process ID, or by the Process Name Balance Computation Management Ledger, and select the process instance.
