How can I force a delimited data source to not skip blank values in an Amount field?
I have a situation where I'm trying to load trial balances from QuickBooks. The source file I'm receiving has three comma-separated columns - Account+Description, Debit, Credit. QuickBooks has a quirky output format where some debit balances are shown as "$-" (presumably to represent 0.00), leaving the credit column blank. If there is a credit value in the credit column, the debit column is blank. This is messing with OneStream's numeric processing of the Amount column when Amount is mapped to Column 2 (Debit column). It is rejecting the "$-" field values and the blank field values as Non-Numeric Amounts (verified in the XFL log file for the load). I can successfully replace '$-' with 0 using the Substitute Settings in the data source's Amount dimension, but I cannot figure out how to replace 'no value' in the Debit column with 0 (so that the valid Credit column values don't get skipped). I'm using a Parser Business Rule to return the net amount (debit column 2 minus credit column 3) for the Amount value, but the records where the Debit column is blank never make it to the parser rule (e.g. accounts 1170, 2000, and 2002 in the screen capture of the source file) because of OneStream's built-in Non-Numeric Amount preprocessing. I've tried various combinations in the Substitution Strings settings, hoping to find one that replaces the empty field with '0', but with no luck. I've tried all of the following Find combinations (the '$-' does successfully produce a 0 by the way). And yes, I know the documentation lists |Null| as a valid Replace value, not a Find value, but I thought I would try it in the Find string just to see if it worked: $-^ ^$- |Null|^$- $-^|Null|
Monthly Data from D365 into OneStream
Is there an interface from Dynamics 365 into OneStream? I have seen some comments mention direct connection with D365 using oData API. We have several business units across the world that will need to push month end data from D365. Is there a way they can just push the data from their end or would it have to come from OneStream to get the data?
DISM Email Preview Sends, But Email Not Sent During Task Execution
I’m experiencing an issue where the email template preview sends without any problem, but when I execute an import with DISM itself (actual), the email is not delivered. There are no visible errors or warnings with the data import itself. Has anyone encountered this issue before? What configurations, permissions, sender settings, or campaign requirements should be checked when preview works but live sending fails?Why 2+ Import of a Matrix Flat File of One Workflow Profile to Load Certain Months into a Data Cube?
For the first Import of a Workflow Profile, data in certain months in a "Matrix flat file" failed to be loaded into a Data Cube. For the second+ Import of that Workflow Profile, data in those months in that "Matrix flat file" could be loaded into a Data Cube. - In summary, data in certain months in a "Matrix flat file" must be Imported > 1 time of a Workflow Profile to be loaded into a Data Cube. Please share the root causes for v9.2. Thank you, SMEs.
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?
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?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!
