13.8.3.1 Output Scenario

For allocation rules posting to the Management Ledger-level, you must select an output 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 output value for the Scenario can also be provided as a task parameter if the rule is executed within:

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

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