Security - Posting an auto-reversing journal entry
A user approves an auto-reversing journal entry - security also allows the user to post. The user is unable to post. HOWEVER, in the subsequent period, the user is able to post the auto-generated reversal journal entry. Has anyone seen this and thoughts on resolution?
Central Import and Account Reconciliations
I’m starting an Account Reconciliations implementation and the current process loads Actuals for all entities through a central import. They do have individual workflows for each entity where security is assigned at that level and used for planning and reporting. For RCM they want to look at their recs at that level too (WF entity) but data is not flowing through. Did the discovery both at the Central and individual levels and only the Central inventory is being populated. I guess it’s because data is not being loaded to stage into those WFs. Is there a way to work around this or will data need to be loaded at the entity level for it to work?
File Explorer Incoming workflow folders missing in copied applications
This post is to provide information about File Explorer Incoming workflow folders. Based on what we've seen in our environments, when an application is copied, the new application does not contain the folder structure located at: \File Share\Applications\<Application Name>\Incoming\<Cube Root Name>_Cube\<Workflow Base Input Name>\<Workflow Import Name> We noticed these folders were missing in our last application copy when we were trying to copy files through SIC and drop them into the workflow import folders since our requirement was to drop them there for users to manually import when they choose (instead of automatically loading the files through batch import from batch harvest). To fix this issue we exported the Workflows and re-imported them back into the copied application. This triggered OneStream to create the cube root folders and workflow folders for the workflows that were imported. Hope this helps someone else who might be running into the same issue.
Best practice for filtering vStageSourceAndTargetDataWithAttributes by Workflow
Hi everyone, I am building a query using the vStageSourceAndTargetDataWithAttributes view and I want to ensure I am retrieving the latest figures for a specific Entity and Time period. I have a few questions regarding the best way to filter this: Filtering by Wfk: I know that hardcoding a GUID for the Wfk (Workflow Key) is risky because it can change between environments or if a profile is reset. What is the recommended way to dynamically filter for a specific Workflow Profile? Should I be joining on the WorkflowProfileHierarchy table/view to filter by ProfileName? Latest Figures: If multiple imports have occurred, does filtering by a specific Wfk automatically ensure I am seeing the "latest" iteration of the data, or is there a better field to use for partitioning/ranking the results? Any code snippets or best practices for making these stage queries robust would be highly appreciated.Unable to Post Journals to Locked Entity Despite Central Journal Input Step
Hello Everyone, I’m encountering an issue in OneStream when trying to post a journal via central workflow to an entity whose workflow is locked. Normally, central journal input steps are designed to allow journal postings even when the entity’s workflow is locked. In my case, I have configured a central journal input step within the workflow profile of the entity, so I would expect journal entries to still be accepted despite the lock. However, when attempting to post the journal, I receive an error indicating that the entity is locked. Has anyone experienced a similar issue where central journal input steps do not bypass the workflow lock as expected? Are there specific configuration points or workflow setup details that could explain this behavior?
Need to send data from OneStream to Snowflake using an existing SIC ODBC connection
Hello, What is the best way to send data from OneStream to Snowflake using an existing SIC ODBC connection? Currently I am using SIC ODBC connection to query data from Snowflake and now I would like to send data back to Snowflake.
Europe SWIFT File
Hello, I have a SWIFT Bank file from a client based in Europe that I need to import. I thought this would be similar to a BAI file and could use the OS BAI Parser solution to grab the necessary information, but the format isn't as similar as I thought. Is there any other tool for parsing out a SWIFT file or will this require some custom logic?loading from ERP
Hi Community :) We are currently in development with regard to loading sub-ledger data into OneStream, but the balance specifications are so granular that we currently have them split into about 10 distinct loads. Because of this setup, our end users are being forced to manually click "Load and Transform" 10+ times to get a complete sub-ledger balance loaded for the period. Obviously, this is tedious, creates a poor user experience, and introduces a lot of room for human error. We want to streamline this. What is best practice to do this?Best Practice to Clear Stage Data Globally and Cube Data for Selected Entities
Hi Team, I’m looking for guidance on the best approach to clear data in OneStream. My requirement is twofold: Clear all data from the Stage area For a selected set of entities, clear both Stage and Cube data I’m particularly interested in understanding the most efficient and recommended way to handle this, while ensuring data integrity and minimizing any unintended impact. Specifically, I would appreciate insights on: Recommended methods to clear Stage data globally (e.g., via Data Management steps, Business Rules, or utilities) The best approach to selectively clear Cube data for specific entities Any considerations around workflow locks, data unit locking, or audit/history implications Performance best practices and recommended sequence of operations If anyone has implemented a similar requirement, I’d love to hear your approach or any lessons learned. Thanks in advance for your help!
