5.3.1.1.5.3.4.3 Hierarchy Member Filter Method

When the Driver Table is Management Ledger and the Allocation Type is either Static Driver or Dynamic Driver, you are provided with additional options to select a Hierarchy Member. You can select any of the four Hierarchy Members “Hierarchy Member Filter Method” from the following:

  1. Node Only: Only the Node Member is selected in the filter.
  2. Last Descendants Of: Only the Leaf Members of the Hierarchy rolling up to the selected node are selected in the filter.
  3. Descendants Of: All the Descendant Nodes and leaves of the selected node in the hierarchy including the selected node itself are selected in the filter.
  4. Node and Descendants Of: All the Descendant Nodes and leaves of the selected node in the hierarchy but excluding the selected node itself is selected.

This selection is applied at the per-Dimension Level of the Driver Dimensions, meaning you have the liberty to select the “Nodes Only” filter method for the General Ledger Dimension while applying a “Last Descendants Of” filter method on the Organization Unit Dimension.

The Data Loader service that loads the data from Staging to Management Ledger supports loading data to any kind of member in the Management Ledger – Leaf-Level Members or Node Level Members, rendering you to select any of the two kinds of a member from the UI.
