Hi
The reality is a bit more complex than I am about to explain, but I'm trying to keep it simple so hence a slightly simplified case. Here is the situation.
- DAX 2009 and MR2012 CU11 Hotfix3
- I can get most of the company's data directly out of Dynamics AX
- What I cannot get out of the DAX GL is intercompany sales / orders for each company. This comes via an Excel import that is taken from a custom report from the Sales and Purchase Ledgers respectively. This is Excel load 1.
- As there are multiple companies with either Euro or USD, we need to consolidate in accordance with IFRS. So, spot rate for the balance sheet and an average rate for the P&L. As these rates do not sit in DAX, they need to come in via Excel. This is Excel load 2.
My question is how I can best structure this. The way I understand it I cannot load multiple spreadsheets per company. Is that correct?
Based on that assumption, I see the following possibilities.
1) use multiple columns to load all the data into MR2012 and then have a summary column. So, Col C for the FD data, Col D for the WKS Intercompany data, Col E for the exchange rates and then Col F for the calculation of the total (something like (C+D) * E.
2) Use the reporting tree to roll up the data. Have a parent company for the total of the FD load and the WKS load and the use the Column Definition to do the exchange rate multiplication
Or what am I missing here? Thanks for your help!
