3.8.2.1.2.1.1 Variable Rule

Legal Entity is an optional Run-time Parameter. If the Disable Legal Entity check box in the Application Preferences Screen is checked, then the Legal Entity will no longer be a Run-time Parameter.

If Legal Entity is disabled, then you must select a value for the Legal Entity Dimension in all applicable tabs while defining a Variable Allocation Rule in the Allocation Specification Screen.

Figure 3-8 Initial Definition Pane with Variable Rule selected


This screen allows you to define the allocation specification rule with a variable rule option selected.

For already defined Variable Allocation Rules, edit the Allocations, and modify the value of the Legal Entity Dimension in all applicable tabs in the Allocation Specification Screen. The value of Legal Entity is used when your Rule Execution is specified within your Batch Definition (for Batch Processes) or is obtained from your Profitability Management Cloud Service Application Preferences (for interactive executions launched from a Summary Screen). If this check-box is not selected on the Initial Definition Process Tab, then you must specify a value for Legal Entity in your Allocation Rule's Source, Driver, and Outputs.

Note:

Legal Entity is designed to support implementations that require Multi-Entity or Multi-Tenant functionality. If your implementation does not require this functionality, you may utilize the Default Legal Entity in all your processes and you may declare all your Allocation Rules to be Variable.
