Financial Data Quality Differentiated


Financial Data Quality Management is a business issue, and is defined as
the practice by which companies can effectively and consistently combine
the following factors:

Financial data collection and transformation


Repeatable financial processes
Internal controls
Audit trails with dynamic drill through
Write-back capability

FDM EE helps finance users increase their confidence in the numbers and lowers their cost of
compliance by eliminating data integrity risks associated with collecting, mapping, validating,
and moving critical financial data from across the enterprise.

FDM EE Event Scripting


BefImport This is the initial state of the system before any processing for the selected location has begun. If the user defines import
scripts, they are run between the BefImport and AftImport events. This step in the processing loads data into the TDATASEG_T table.
AftImport Data will be present in TDATASEG_T after this event is processed.
BefCalculate This event is called for a validation only run, and is called before the validation process.
AFtCaculate-This event is called for a validation only run and is called after the validation process.
BefProcLogicGrp Before Logic Account Processing
AftProcLogicGrp After Logic Account Processing
BefProcMap This event is called before the mapping process is started in TDATASEG_T. Mapping scripts are executed between the
BefProcMap and AftProcMap events. Data is moved from TDATASEG_T to TDATASEG between these events after all data has been
mapped. Updates to audit tables are also included as part of this process.
AftProcMap After all mapping has been completed. When this event runs, the data has already been moved from TDATASEG_T to
TDATASEG.
BefValidate Check if everything mapped in TDATASEG.
AftValidate After the BefValidate event.
BefExportToDat Before you write to file for export - also fired for Essbase in export to file mode.
AftExportToDat After file is created
BefLoad Before you load to target app
AftLoad After data is sent to target app, but doesnt wait for target app to complete load process.
BefConsolidate For HFM and Essbase. This event will execute if a check rule is included I the location that is being processed.
AftConsolidate After BefConsolidate.
BefCheck Before Check Rule
AftCheck After Check Rule

Sample Jython and SQL Scripts


Jython (as an Import Script)
def CostCenter (strField, strrecord) :
seglist = strrecord.split (",")
Account = seglist[4].strip()
Account1 = Account[:1]
Cost_Center = seglist[9].strip()
Cost_Center1 = Cost_Center[:6]
if ((Account1 == '6' or Account1 == '7') and
Cost_Center1.__len__() < 1):
return "910000"
elif (Account1 == '6' or Account1 == '7'):
return Cost_Center1
else:

SQL (as a post import Event Script)


updateStmt = '''UPDATE TDATASEG_T
SET UD1 = CASE SUBSTR(ACCOUNT,1,1)
WHEN '6' AND LENGTH(SUBSTR(UD1,1,6)) > 0 THEN
SUBSTR(UD1,1,6)
WHEN '6' AND LENGTH(SUBSTR(UD1,1,6)) = 0 THEN
'910000'
WHEN '7' AND LENGTH(SUBSTR(UD1,1,6)) > 0 THEN
SUBSTR(UD1,1,6)
WHEN '7' AND LENGTH(SUBSTR(UD1,1,6)) = 0 THEN
'910000'
