15.6.2 Dynamic Driver Pane

For the Dynamic Driver allocation type, use this pane to supply dimensional constraints for your driver data. You supply dimensional constraints using the hierarchy browser.

From the Dynamic Driver pane, the behavior of the hierarchy browser is identical to the hierarchy browser. For more information, see Allocation Source Pane.

For the Dynamic Driver allocation type, use this pane to supply dimensional constraints for your driver data. You supply dimensional constraints using the hierarchy browser. From the Dynamic Driver pane, the behavior of the hierarchy browser is identical to the hierarchy browser.

For Dynamic Driver allocation rules that obtain their driver data from the Management Ledger-level, you must also select a Driver scenario. The default for new allocation rules is <Use Application Preferences>. When you use this default value, the Scenario (also called Consolidation Code) is determined by the value that is set in Application Preferences for Profitability Management for the user who is running the rule. If you do not select <Use Application Preferences>, you must select a defined dimension member value (for example, Actual, Budget, Forecast, Forecast Prior). These values are provided with the data model, but you may add additional dimension members in the Consolidation Code dimension.

The following are the limitations for the User-Defined Consolidation Code dimension:

  • The code name must be a string with alphabetic characters alone (either lower case or upper case).
  • The code must not have digits, special characters, blank spaces, or punctuation characters.
  • The code must not have the word adhoc in it.

The Driver value for Scenario can be provided as a task parameter if the rule is executed within the following:

  • A Simplified Batch
  • A standard ICC batch
  • From the command line

When the Source value for the Scenario is passed as a task parameter, it overrides the value set in the Application Preferences. For details on passing task parameters, see the OFS Analytical Applications Infrastructure User Guide.
