Validation Accounts


example: You want to make sure your Fixed Assets movement schedule totals tie to the numbers in your Balance Sheet and P&L (i.e. Amortization Expenses). You set up a validation account that checks for the variance between the amount input in the movement schedule against the assets and the users cannot promote and lock their data if there is a variance. Same thing could be done for the Accounts Receivable and the Aging Schedule comparison. So you first most define that you will use validation accounts in your metadata, then create the account where the variance will be checked, (a valid intersection with [ICPTop]
in the Custom dimensions.) then set a rule that compares the accounts. In process management the validation accounts are use to ensure that the value equals zero before the unit can be promoted to the next review level. Therefore, don't forget to add the validation account to a submission group. Assign a submission group 0 to validation accounts that are not subject to process management.
