Mandatory notes diagnostic
Description of the check¶
This check verifies the presence of notes justifying the values entered on the gross amounts and on IC amounts. The check is only run if the amounts are not equal to zero. When the amounts are equal to zero, it is not mandatory to enter a justification.
The check only verifies the accounts associated with the selected process and, for entities (company, contributor node, consolidator node), it only checks the accounts present in the data model process associated with the same entity.
The check is only run on original scenarios, and on gross data; it reports any unbalanced amounts in the gross step present in the data model process of the entity subject to the diagnostic. On IC data, it reports any unbalanced amounts on the IC 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 category 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 |
|---|---|
| Notes check | The mandatory notes diagnostic is only run on accounts whose setting is not Do not check (). |
The check is run according to the following logic:
| If... | Then... |
|---|---|
| Notes check = Check only Gross amounts | - the notes check must only be run for gross data. |
| Notes check = Check Gross and IC amounts | - the notes check must be run for both intercompany data and gross data. |
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.
