Definition

The data transfer rules determine how the fields in the receiver structure are to be filled. The fields are differentiated between characteristics and key figures. Different operations are possible for both. Formula calculations can be defined for key figures. Characteristics can be converted if necessary.

Data transfer rule for characteristics

The following rules are valid for characteristics:

  • 'SET': You set a constant, i.e. a fixed characteristic value is assigned to the corresponding field in the receiver record.
  • 'MOVE': The characteristic values of the sender field are assigned to the (receiver) characteristic. You can enter selection conditions to define which values are to be transferred. This rule is useful for transfers where the sender and receiver structures are identical.
  • 'GROUP': Specific characteristic values of the sender structure are assigned to one characteristic value in the receiver structure. You define the selection conditions for the characteristic values of the sender structure which are to be assigned to the value in the receiver structure. The 'GROUP' rule can be used to convert field values or to derive field values from other field values.
  • 'COMBINE': One characteristic value of the receiver structure is derived from more than one characteristic of the sender structure. Contrary to 'GROUP', with 'COMBINE' the rules relate to several fields of the sender record.
  • 'SET_R' is used in combination with 'MOVE', 'COMBINE' and 'GROUP'. These three rule types determine the transfer of values in sender fields to values in receiver fields. 'SET_R' assigns a fixed (receiver) characteristic value (constant) for the transfer of non-assigned (sender) characteristic values. 'SET_R' cannot be used in combination with 'MOVE_R'.
  • 'MOVE_R' is used in combination with 'GROUP'. Using 'MOVE_R' the characteristic values of the sender field which are not covered by a 'GROUP' rule are transferred to a (receiver) characteristic value.

Data transfer rules for key figures

The data transfer rule determines what happens when several sender records are represented on a receiver record. First, the key figure formulas are evaluated and a result is calculated. Then, a currency or unit translation is carried out. Where several sender records are represented on a single receiver record, 'SUM' will total the results. With 'MIN' the smallest result is taken, with 'MAX' the largest, with 'LAST' the last and with 'FIRST' the first. 'COUNT' counts the number of records. It may, for example, be helpful to use 1 whereby the number of sender records represented on a receiver record are counted. Note that 'FIRST' and 'LAST' are not based on a time dimension.
