Share capital Elimination rule

Hi Experts,

I have to eliminate Equity and write elimination portion to NCI account. as part of this firstly i am testing with one of the equity accounts i.e "Sharecapital". For this i have written a rule as below and when i execute no errors as well no results. i do not see any reversal entry in C#Elimination.O#Elimination of source buffer value.

Kindly evaluate and help me if i am missing anything in the rule. even i do not see any record in the source buffer log. but there are records at C#Share for A#Sharecapital account.

 

Rule >>>>

Case Is = FinanceFunctionType.ConsolidateShare


Dim entity As String = api.pov.entity.Name
Dim entityID As String = api.pov.entity.MemberID
Dim Pown As Decimal = api.entity.percentOwnership(entityID)
Dim Pcon As Decimal = api.entity.PercentConsolidation(entityID)
Dim pmin As Decimal = Pcon-Pown
Dim vMethod As OwnershipType = api.Entity.OwnershipType(entityID)

If Pown > 50.0 And Pown < 100.0 AndAlso vMethod.ToString = "FullConsolidation" Then
api.ExecuteDefaultShare() ' Default share calculation.
End If


Case Is = FinanceFunctionType.ConsolidateElimination

Dim entity As String = api.pov.entity.Name
Dim entityID As String = api.pov.entity.MemberID
Dim Pown As Decimal = api.entity.percentOwnership(entityID)
Dim Pcon As Decimal = api.entity.PercentConsolidation(entityID)
Dim pmin As Decimal = Pcon-Pown
Dim vMethod As OwnershipType = api.Entity.OwnershipType(entityID)

If Pown > 50.0 And Pown < 100.0 AndAlso vMethod.ToString = "FullConsolidation" Then
Call NCIElim(si,globals,api,args,pmin)
End If

api.ExecuteDefaultElimination()' Default Intercompany eliminations

End Select
'Sub Procedure

Private Sub NCIElim(ByVal si As SessionInfo, ByVal globals As BRGlobals, ByVal api As FinanceRulesApi, ByVal args As FinanceRulesArgs,ByVal pmin As Decimal)
 
Dim ResulDataBuf As DataBuffer = New DataBuffer()
 
Dim DestinationInfo As ExpressionDestinationInfo = api.Data.GetExpressionDestinationInfo("O#Elimination:C#Elimination")
Dim SourceBufferFilter As DataBuffer = Api.Data.GetDataBufferUsingFormula("FilterMembers(O#Top:C#Share:F#CLOSING,[A#[CAPITAL].Where(Text1 <> "")]")
 
SourceBufferFilter.LogDataBuffer(api,"records",100)
 
For Each sourceCell As DataBuffercell In SourceBufferFilter.DataBufferCells.Values
 
Dim ResultElse As New DataBuffercell(sourceCell) 'Copying the modified buffer cell to new result cell
ResultElse.CellAmount = ResultElse.CellAmount * - 1
 
If (Not sourceCell.CellStatus.IsNoData) Then
ResulDataBuf.setcell(si,ResultElse,True) ' Set result cell result buffer to save this later to destination
End If
Next
api.Data.setdatabuffer(ResulDataBuf,DestinationInfo)'Save the data into destination.
End Sub

    I‘m not in front of my PC to test it, but I‘m sure, your use of filtermembers creates the problem.

    Can you try this:

    Api.Data.GetDataBufferUsingFormula("O#Top:C#Share:F#CLOSING:A#CAPITAL")

    I also wouldn’t use c#share necessarily as a source for the elimination. It won‘t work, when you need to do an at equity pick up.

    BTW, you can only use the [ and ] brackets once, nesting them isn‘t supported.

      i modified as you suggested =>Dim SourceBufferFilter As DataBuffer = Api.Data.GetDataBufferUsingFormula("FilterMembers(O#Top:F#CLBAL,A#CAPITAL)")

      still does not reverse the values in C#Elimination taking from C#Share

      Do i need to do any settings in consolidation alogorthm type - Standard/custom/share store/orgby...

    You have to specify the consolidation dimension, if not, it uses C#Elimination and this dataunit is still empty. Please use C#Translated.
