Map year from
Select a year from the source calendar. Source periods updates to the mapping table using the year selected. Click Create Default Mapping to populate period detail to the mapping table. Source periods are read-only, using the selected mapping year, and they cannot be changed. However, you can select a different destination period from a dropdown list, based on the mapping you want to create.
|
Once mapping changes have been saved for a selected year, re-applying the Create Default Mapping does not change modified mappings. |
The default mapping updates to the table based on these rules:
- If the start and end dates for a source period match the start and end dates for a destination period, map the periods 1:1.
- If the start and end dates for a source period fall within a destination period, map to that period.
- If the start and end dates for a source period do not fall entirely within a destination period, map to the period into which the end date falls.
Years that are mapped subsequent to the initial mapping will be inserted into the correct order within the mapping table. For example, a subsequent year will be appended and a prior year will be inserted in front of existing years.
Mapping Rules:
- The selected period in the destination column must be after the selected period in the previous line.
- All periods in the source calendar must be mapped.
- Multiple source periods can be mapped to a single destination period.
- A single source period may not be mapped to multiple destination periods.
- Periods can map across financial years, for example, Source Period 1 in 2018 (July) may map to Destination Period 7 in 2017.
If the subsidiary and consolidation company do not use the same GL calendar, you must specify the period mapping to be applied when the relationship is set up in Consolidation Company Mapping Maintenance.
