I want to Validate that the Data is cleared and validate the calculate
Hi all - We have a Labor Allocation Process that runs manually which we have seen some silent failures occur through our Api Calculate or Api Clear data. I am attempting to go through our business rules and add more complex logging to get a better understanding where/when these things occur. Lets say I had this code block.. Dim sourceDims As String = "U2#None:U3#None:O#Import:I#None:F#None:V#Periodic:C#USD" Dim destinationDims As String = "U2#None:U3#None:O#Import:I#None:F#None:V#Periodic:C#USD" If args.CustomCalculateArgs.FunctionName.XFEqualsIgnoreCase("Copy3rdPartyImportData") Then 'Only run for the Base Entities and local currency If (Not api.Entity.HasChildren()) And (api.Cons.IsLocalCurrencyForEntity()) 'Get the current scenario Name Dim curScenarioName As String = api.Pov.Scenario.Name If curScenarioName = "Rpt_Mar" Then 'Clear previously calculated data api.Data.ClearCalculatedData(True, True, True, True,"A#3PFB_Capital","O#Import","I#None","V#Periodic","C#USD") api.Data.ClearCalculatedData(True, True, True, True,"A#3PFB_Expense","O#Import","I#None","V#Periodic","C#USD") api.Data.ClearCalculatedData(True, True, True, True,"A#Travel_Capital","O#Import","I#None","V#Periodic","C#USD") api.Data.ClearCalculatedData(True, True, True, True,"A#Travel_Expense","O#Import","I#None","V#Periodic","C#USD") 'Seed Current Scenario with previous imported 3rd party data api.Data.Calculate("S#" & curScenarioName & ":A#3PFB_Capital:" & destinationDims & " = RemoveZeros(S#Rpt_Feb:A#3PFB_Capital:" & sourceDims & ")",True) api.Data.Calculate("S#" & curScenarioName & ":A#3PFB_Expense:" & destinationDims & " = RemoveZeros(S#Rpt_Feb:A#3PFB_Expense:" & sourceDims & ")",True) api.Data.Calculate("S#" & curScenarioName & ":A#Travel_Capital:" & destinationDims & " = RemoveZeros(S#Rpt_Feb:A#Travel_Capital:" & sourceDims & ")",True) api.Data.Calculate("S#" & curScenarioName & ":A#Travel_Expense:" & destinationDims & " = RemoveZeros(S#Rpt_Feb:A#Travel_Expense:" & sourceDims & ")",True) I have tried: Dim srcCap As Decimal = api.Data.GetDataCell("S#Rpt_Nov:A#3PFB_Capital:U1#TotUD1:U2#None:U3#None:U4#TotUD4:U5#None:U6#None:U7#None:U8#None:O#Import:I#None:F#None:V#Periodic:C#USD:E#CHN000").CellAmount BRApi.ErrorLog.LogMessage(si, "SOURCE 3PFB_Capital=" & srcCap.ToString("N2")) Which results in 0. api.Data.Calculate(formula1, True) Dim verify1 As Decimal = api.Data.GetDataCell("S#Rpt_Dec:A#3PFB_Capital:U1#TotUD1:U2#None:U3#None:U4#TotUD4:...E#" & api.Pov.Entity.Name).CellAmount BRApi.ErrorLog.LogMessage(si, "DEST read-back=" & verify1.ToString("N2")) same with something like this.
Design Approach for Actual and Budget Consolidation Using FSK
Hi OS Community, I’m an EPM Consultant working mainly on Financial Consolidation, and I would appreciate some guidance on a scenario‑specific consolidation design question. Currently, our Actuals consolidation process is working correctly and uses the standard XFW_FSK_Accounts lookup table to drive account mapping during consolidation. This includes full account‑level detail, which is required for statutory reporting and analysis. Now we need to enable consolidation for the Budget scenario, the rules for Budget should be the same as Actual , but with a different level of granularity: The Budget scenario is loaded at a higher‑level Account hierarchy Main Question What is the recommended way to use a different account mapping lookup table for Budget while keeping the existing XFW_FSK_Accounts logic for Actuals? More specifically: Can we assign or reference a different account lookup table (e.g. XFW_FSK_Accounts_Budget) within the consolidation Business Rules, based on the Scenario? Is it best practice to: Use Scenario‑driven logic inside the consolidation BRs to switch lookup tables? Or create separate consolidation rules for Actual vs Budget? Are there any framework‑supported patterns for handling multi‑scenario account mappings where hierarchies differ? If anyone has implemented a similar approach or can point to best practices / documentation, your insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help! Best regards, Carolina
Orders calculation formula using Backlog and Sales Accounts
Hello, I'm attempting to create an orders (500055) account, calculated using existing Backlog (500054) and Sales (100020) Accounts. (Current Month Backlog - Prior Month Backlog + Current Month Sales) When I run this calculation in the forecast scenario, February - December work as expected, but there is an issue with January that I can't pinpoint. Any ideas where I've gone wrong? Thank you in advance, Justin Trad If ((Not api.Entity.HasChildren()) And (api.Cons.IsLocalCurrencyForEntity)) And api.Time.GetPeriodNumFromId(api.Pov.Time.MemberID) = 1 Then api.data.calculate("A#500055:T#PovYearM1:O#import:U1#none:U2#none:U5#none:U6#none = (A#500054:T#PovYearM1:O#top:U1#top:U2#top:U5#top:U6#top - A#500054:T#PovPriorYearM12:O#top:U1#top:U2#top:U5#top:U6#top) + A#100020:T#PovYearM1:O#top:U1#top:U2#top:U5#top:U6#top") Else If ((Not api.Entity.HasChildren()) And (api.Cons.IsLocalCurrencyForEntity)) Then api.data.calculate("A#500055:T#Pov:O#import:U1#none:U2#none:U5#none:U6#none = (A#500054:T#Pov:O#top:U1#top:U2#top:U5#top:U6#top - A#500054:T#PovPrior1:O#top:U1#top:U2#top:U5#top:U6#top) + A#100020:T#Pov:O#top:U1#top:U2#top:U5#top:U6#top") End If
How to round the result of a calculation?
Hi everyone, I would like to round the value for a calculation, I try wit this api.Data.Calculate("A#P_EBPPrct:O#Import:U1#D0000:U2#P0000:U3#CORP_ADJ:U4#PJ00000 = Round(Divide(A#433100, A#411000:E#" & strEntTx3 & ":C#Local:O#Top:U1#ALL_DEPARTMENTS:U2#PROMO:U3#CORP_RPT:U4#ALL_PROJECTS))") or this api.Data.Calculate("A#P_EBPPrct:O#Import:U1#D0000:U2#P0000:U3#CORP_ADJ:U4#PJ00000 = Divide(A#433100, A#411000:E#" & strEntTx3 & ":C#Local:O#Top:U1#ALL_DEPARTMENTS:U2#PROMO:U3#CORP_RPT:U4#ALL_PROJECTS)",AddressOf OnEvalDataBuffer) Private Sub OnEvalDataBuffer(ByVal api As FinanceRulesApi, ByVal evalName As String, ByVal eventArgs As EvalDataBufferEventArgs) Dim resultCells As New Dictionary(Of DataBufferCellPk, DataBufferCell) For Each sourceCell As DataBufferCell In eventArgs.DataBuffer1.DataBufferCells.Values sourceCell.CellAmount = math.round(sourceCell.CellAmount) Next eventArgs.DataBufferResult.DataBufferCells = eventArgs.DataBuffer1.DataBufferCells End Sub but didn't work, so, OS have a way to round values in a calculation?
Impact Calc Status
Hi all, I'm using ImpactCalcStatus to impact an entity based on another entity that has the Sibling consolidation pass set to 2. I can see the status changing during processing, but at the end of the consolidation, it remains CA/CN. Only after running it again does the status change to OK. What am I missing here? api.CalcStatus.ImpactCalcStatus(cubeId, Children.MemberId, Parent.MemberId, consId, scenarioId, timeId); Thanks.
Alternate Entity hierarchies unbalanced
hello Team, good day; we have 4 alternate hierarchies for Entity dimension, the Application is for Consolidation, BS & IC, having the Balance sheet accounts balancing the amounts, the main hierarcy is balanced (means 0 asset, liability & equity), for all the rest aer unbalanced and the reazon could be the elimination accounts because these are not summing properly to 1st and 2nd level, (main parent and ancestor). the consolidation rule is custom and runing, maybe the conso properties are bad. Does anyone knows how to solve the unbalancing for all the Entity hierarchies? thakns in advance and Kind RegardsAUDIT log not appearing for BRAPI access provision
Hi all, I am using the Business Rule to perform the user access provisioning using BRApi for security management. And used this BR in DAM job, added the DM to a task scheduler job to run it. All are working fine, but in the DASHBOARD -->NAVIGATION CENTER--> SECURITY AUDIT REPORTS --> USER CHANGE AUDIT. I cannot see the change line appearing in this report, executed by task scheduled for the DM (run by Business Rule.). Is there a way to enable the time in this report. apart from this i see the audit data and time in TOTAL USERS, USER LIST reports. -------------------------------------------------------- another important point i noted was ,those new user whoever i provisioned through the BR are uanable to authenticate. but when i make a small change like space or some modification in the user parameter save it. then undo the change and save it. they are able to authenticate the applciation.DynamicCalc - Return FX of Current Parent
Good morning OneStream folks. I was looking for an example of how to dynamically pull the FX rate for an entity based on its current parent. We currently have a DynamicCalc account that assumes that all parents are USD and therefore the rate returned by the account is the USD translation rate. For example, the child is GBP and has a CAD parent, but the formula returns GBP-->USD. I was able to get a DynamicCalc formula that works, but I have to make some additions in my QuickView or CubeView to get it work completely. The account I created in this case is called ParentFX and the logic is below: In order to get the ParentFX account to return the correct value, I have to write my quickview logic as: A#ParentFX:C#Translated:Name(Parent FX). Which is fine, but I would also like to use that combo in a getdatacell calculation, and OneStream doesn't seem to like that. I'd like to be able to pull the A#ParentFX account with it using the Entity hierarchy as its guide for the parent FX instead of having to use the Cons hierarchy. Any ideas are appreciated.Pull in Variables from another BR
I'm trying to call a helper BR that I wrote to pull in two variables to denote our environment, but I'm getting an error message saying the extender business rule.MainClass is undefined. Background: Our GL has three environments, Dev, Prj (test) and PRD. As we promoted projects up in OneStream, I have to edit the BRs to reference the different environments. It's a pain when it comes to the SQL because the environment is part of the tableName.fieldName. Goal: to have one helper BR that has the environment variables in it and all other BRs reference this rule so I no longer need to edit them from environment to environment. The helper rule in DEV would reference the DEV tables, the helper in PRD would reference the production tables, etc. 'test code to pull in environment variables from a Helper 03-05-2026 'Define reference to business rule Dim JDE_EnvironmentHelper As New OneStream.BusinessRule.Extender.JDE_EnvironmentHelper.MainClass '<-- Update ReferencedBRName with your Business Rule 'Call function within referenced business rule If Not JDE_EnvironmentHelper Is Nothing Then Dim returnVariable As String = JDE_EnvironmentHelper.GetConnectionString(si, gateWay, envTbl) '<-- Update ReferencedBRFunctionName, param1..paramX, returnVariable type End If ' End test code 03-05-2026 The above code* is from the Connector rule that is to receive the variables, gateWay and envTbl. The error I get when I validate it is: Error at line 37: Type 'OneStream.BusinessRule.Extender.JDE_EnvironmentHelper.MainClass' is not defined. This code is directly copied from the OneStream snippets (modified for my BR name, of course) What am I doing wrong? Am I even on the right track? *line 3 above is line 37 in my BR
GetDataBufferUsingFormula
Can someone check if there's any mistake in the below 2 lines. I am unable to execute the BR Dim sourceBuff As DataBuffer Dim srcED As String = args.CustomCalculateArgs.NameValuePairs("sourceEffectiveDate") Dim selectedScenario = args.CustomCalculateArgs.NameValuePairs("selectedScenario") Dim dmTime = api.Pov.Time.Name Dim account = args.CustomCalculateArgs.NameValuePairs("account") sourceBuff = api.Data.GetDataBufferUsingFormula($"FilterMembers(T#{dmTime}:S#{selectedScenario}:U4#Approved_Status:U6#Total_Audit:U7#{srcED}, [A#{account}.Base])")
