Article summary

With enhanced mapping in the template setup, you can view and select the rollup members along with the leaf members of a hierarchy while doing history and reference account mapping in the template setup, making the account mapping process easy and quick.

Note
The enhanced mapping is an Opt-In feature enhancement. If you want to enable this feature, contact Planful's support team.

A new column, J, has been added to the Template Setup screen, where you can directly start each row's destination account, reference account, or reference cube mapping process. You can find the following options when you click the edit icon in this new column:

  • Destination Account
  • Reference Account
  • Reference Cube
Note:
The Reference Cube option is moved from the Mappings menu in the toolbar to the new Column J. To know more about Reference mapping, refer to Reference Cube.

Column J-edited(1)

Column J-Options

If any line is already mapped, clicking the edit icon in column J will directly open the respective account mapping screen.

Note:
This change applies to all existing and new templates in all scenarios.

Post enablement, you can choose the rollup member instead of individual leaf members in one row of the mapping, and then delete the other rows that have the related leaf members mapped to that rollup.

Destination Account Mapping

Click the edit icon from column J aligned to the desired row, and select Destination Account to open the Destination account mapping screen. On this screen, you can perform Posting account mapping based on your requirement for each column. The History account mapping is available in a separate column.

Clear Mapping

If you want to unmap all the current Destination Account mappings for the selected row, you can use the Clear Mapping option available at the top menu. However, the Clear Mappings option will only clear the Posting mappings but not the History mappings. To clear the History mapping, click Edit in the History column and update or delete the mappings manually. Refer to the History Mappings section for more information.

Note
The application will not display the roll-ups that contain multiple types of account members within the hierarchy. For any given line, you cannot add roll-ups that contain different types of account members within it (like MTD/YTD or Credit/Debit).

DA

History Mapping

If there are no History mappings, you can use the Add option in the Destination Account Mapping screen > History column and a new screen will appear. You can select segment members (roll-up or leaf) from the hierarchy for each column based on your requirements for a given row.

HA

HA-Mapping

Use the Add Row option if you want to create more rows for history mapping. Following are other options available against each row in the History screen:

  • Add - Use this option to create new rows.
  • Copy - Use this option to duplicate any existing row. Then, update the required segments in the copied row and change the mapping for each column in the new row.
  • Edit – Use this option to edit the mappings.
  • Delete - Use this option to delete any existing mapping.

Once you have finished the mapping, click the Keep Changed and Close option to save the mapping.

Note
The application will not display the roll-ups that contain multiple types of account members within the hierarchy. For any given line, you cannot add roll-ups that contain different types of account members within it (like MTD/YTD or Credit/Debit).

Apart from these options, you can use the Show errors only toggle to view any errors that might happen during history account mapping. Enabling this toggle will display only those mapping rows that have errors. You can hover over the highlighted error fields (red underline) to know the exact issue and fix it.

Reference Account Mapping

Click the edit icon from column J, and select Reference Account to open the Reference account mapping screen. Here, you can map the line to a template and also select segment members (rollup or leaf) for each dimension column from the hierarchy based on your requirements.

Note
The application will not display the roll-ups that contain multiple types of account members within the hierarchy. For any given line, you cannot add roll-ups that contain different types of account members within it (like MTD/YTD or Credit/Debit).

Following are the options available against each row in the Reference Account Mapping screen:

  • Edit – Use this option to edit the mappings.
  • Delete - Use this option to delete any existing mapping.

Apart from these options, you can use the Show errors only toggle to view any errors that might happen during reference account mapping. Enabling this toggle will display only those mapping rows that have errors. You can hover over the account column of the rows with errors to know the exact issue and fix it.
