Using a Seeded System Template in HFM Calculation Manager What we’ll cover This presentation will cover: The use of the “Days in Period” seeded system template in a Calculation rule Setting up the DaysInPeriod account Setting up the AvgUnitsSoldPerDay Setting up the variables required by the template – povYear, povPeriod and nDaysInPeriod Create a new rule to calculate AvgUnitsSoldPerDay Use the template to calculate the value for the nDaysInPeriod variable Create a formula to populate the DaysInPeriod account with the nDaysInPeriod variable value. Create a formula to calculate AvgUnitsSoldPerDay as UnitsSold/DaysInPeriod Deploy the rule Test in a data grid In this short presentation, I’ll show you how to use one of the seeded system templates for a calculation in Calculation in Hyperion Financial Management Using a Seeded System Template in HFM Calculation Manager

The goal – calculate average sales per day The goal is to calculate average sales per day for a given period. We are loading Sales and UnitsSold balances from the General Ledger system and want to calculate the Average Units Sold per day as Sales/Units Sols. Using a Seeded System Template in HFM Calculation Manager

Create the Days in Period account In Dimension library, I’ll first create an account to store the Days in Period balance. Because the account type is “Flow”, the balance at the quarter will be the sum of the balances for the individual periods. (So Days in Period for Q1 will be the sum of January, February and March). Because we want to use this account to calculate average units sold per day, we will make it valid with the LinesOfBusiness, Markets, Industries and Destinations dimensions, just like the UnitsSold account is valid with those dimensions. By checking the IsCalculated flag, it will not be possible to enter or load data to the account. Using a Seeded System Template in HFM Calculation Manager

Create the Average Units Sold Per Day Account I can create a second account called AvgUnitsSoldPerDay of type Flow. Once again, because this is measuring UnitsSold, we should make the account valid with LinesOfBusiness, Markets, Industries and Destinations.

Create the povYear execution variable Using the template requires several variables. The first variable will store the current year from the POV in the data grid where we will test our rule. The variable can be GLOBAL, but it must be an execution variable, because it will store the output of one of the seeded functions. For more information on the seeded functions available in Hyperion Financial Management Calculation Manager, refer to the HFM admin guide.. Using a Seeded System Template in HFM Calculation Manager

Create the povPeriod execution variable Using the template requires several variables. The second variable will store the current period from the POV in the data grid where we will test our rule. The variable can be GLOBAL, but it must be an execution variable, because it will store the output of one of the seeded functions. For more information on the seeded functions available in Hyperion Financial Management Calculation Manager, refer to the HFM admin guide.. Using a Seeded System Template in HFM Calculation Manager

Create the nDaysInPeriod execution variable. Using the template requires several variables. The third variable will store the number of days in the current period and will be populated by the template, so it will not have a value in the variable designer. The variable would most likely be LOCAL, because it is being populated by a rule rather tha by the output of one of the seeded HFM Calculation functions. Using a Seeded System Template in HFM Calculation Manager

Create a rule to calculate AvgUnitsSoldPerDay. To create the rule, we give it a name, a caption and a description. The comments that we enter will show up in the Vbscript that Calculation manager will generated. Using a Seeded System Template in HFM Calculation Manager

Using a Seeded System Template in HFM Calculation Manager Use the GetDaysInMonth system template to calculate the value for the nDaysInPeriod variable When you drag the template into a rule, the parameters window opens and allows you to choose the parameters required by the Days in Period seeded System Template. - The Days in Month variable will store the result of the template. -The Year variable will reference the current Year in the POV. -The Period Number variable will reference the current period number from the POV. Using a Seeded System Template in HFM Calculation Manager

Create the formula to populate the DaysInPeriod account The formula shown will set the balance in the DaysInPeriod account using the value of the variable that was populated by the template Using a Seeded System Template in HFM Calculation Manager

Create the formula to calculate the AvgUnitsSoldPerDay account The formula will calculate the balance in the AvgUnitsSoldPerDay account by taking UnitsSold by the DaysInPeriod account populated in the previous formula Using a Seeded System Template in HFM Calculation Manager

Review and validate the rule The rule will execute the formulas in order: -Populate the nDaysInPeriod variable -Copy the value from the nDaysInPeriod variable into the DaysInPeriod account. -Calculate the AvgUnisSoldPerDay account as UnitsSold/DaysInPeriod Using a Seeded System Template in HFM Calculation Manager

Review the vbScript created from the rule You can review the Vbscript created from the graphical rule by calculation manager Using a Seeded System Template in HFM Calculation Manager

Create a ruleset and drag the rule into the ruleset. You can review the Vbscript created from the graphical rule by calculation manager Using a Seeded System Template in HFM Calculation Manager

Review the VBScript generated from the ruleset. Note that the Ruleset for the Calculate rule type corresponds to the Sub Calculate subroutine. You can see the declaration of your execution variables in the beginning of the VBScript as well as the setting of the values to the output of one of the seeded functions. Using a Seeded System Template in HFM Calculation Manager

Mark the ruleset for deployment and deploy Remember that a rule type like the calculate rule type can have multiple rulesets, but only one can be deployed at a time. You mark the ruleset you wish to deploy in Deployment view, which will also let you see whether or not the ruleset has ever been deployed before and whether it has been modified since it was last deployed. Using a Seeded System Template in HFM Calculation Manager

Using a Seeded System Template in HFM Calculation Manager Test using a data grid You can test the rule in a datagrid. In the datagrid, you could enter Units Sold. You cannot enter Days in Period or AvgUnitsSoldPerDay because both members of the Account dimension had the IsCalculated flag checked so both appear as green cells. When you right click and choose calculate, both the DayInPeriod and AvgUnitsSoldPerDay accounts are populated by your rule. Using a Seeded System Template in HFM Calculation Manager
