Use

After adding this kind of predefined step ("function call") to your environment for the derivation strategy, you can determine the top node of the funds center (field USERFUNDSCTR), that is, the top node in the funds center hierarchy.

Further notes

If you leave the field USERFCVARNT blank, the system takes into account the standard variant of the funds center hierarchy. However, you may also choose another hierarchy variant by assigning a value to USERFCVARNT.

Please note that the predefined step of type function call uses the field USERFUNDSCTR as input and output field. This allows you to use the top node of the funds center hierarchy within conditions for derivation steps.

Example

You want to assign the top node of the input field FUNDSCTR to the output field FUNDSCTR of the budget object using the hierarchy variant "0001". In this case, first add this predefined step to your environment for strategy by checking the corresponding box, then edit your environment.

It should finally contain the following derivation steps:

  • MOVE: source = field FUNDSCTR, target = field USERFUNDSCTR
  • MOVE: source = constant '0001', target = field USERFCVARNT
  • FUNCTION CALL: Determine top node of funds center
  • MOVE: source = field USERFUNDSCTR, target = field FUNDSCTR
