IC capacity diagnostic
Description of the check¶
This check verifies that the total of the intercompany amounts entered by account and destination is an “of which” of the total of the gross amounts entered, also by account and destination. In contrast to the IC sign diagnostic, it does not work by counterparty but by account. It only checks the accounts associated with the process that has been selected and, for entities (company, contributor node, consolidator node), it only checks those present in the data model process associated with the same entity.
The check is only run on original scenarios and reports any unbalanced amounts in the highest out of the gross step and the IC step (capacity step) present in the data model process of the entity subject to the diagnostic.
It can be run on individual elements of the destinations, on first-level nodes of the destinations, or by summing the destinations according to what is indicated in the process’s validation rules.
The check is only run on the amount and entity journal categories, and only on entity category and consolidator entity groupings.
Accounts table and diagnostic¶
The following attributes of the accounts table are significant for running diagnostic data processing:
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| IC capacity check | The IC capacity diagnostic is only run on accounts whose setting is not Do not check ( |
The check is run according to the following logic:
| If... | Then... |
|---|---|
| IC Capacity check = Check <= | the IC amounts must have the same sign as the gross amounts and be of a lower or equal absolute value. |
| IC Sign Check = Check = | IC amounts must be equal to the gross amount. |
In entity journals, the “Check <=” is always satisfied, given that it compares the sum of all the rows with the sum of only rows with a defined counterparty. On the other hand, the “Check =” is only satisfied if the counterparty entity is defined on all the rows.
Categories to subject to the diagnostic¶
The categories and category groupings to subject to the diagnostic are defined in the process’s validation rules (). Severity is indicated for each category and each grouping (Blocking, Non-blocking, Only Diagnostic, None)
Entity groupings are those only containing entity categories, i.e. amounts and/or entity journals, of the contributor.
Consolidator entity groupings are those which only contain entity categories, i.e. amounts and/or entity journals, where at least one is of the consolidator.
