PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
-------------------

You are not getting the results you expected in your Financial Statement
Generator (FSG) reports when using parent values.

How is the profile option, 'FSG:Expand Parent Value' used?

PROBLEM EXPLANATION
-------------------

The Oracle General Ledger documentation (User's Guide and Reference Manuals)
describe this profile option, but the explanation is not clear.

Here is the profile option documentation from the manuals:

Control the expansion of parent values when requesting summary

balances. The following values are available to you:

Yes: FSG uses the rollup group to determine whether to expand a

parent value into its child ranges. If the parent value belongs to a
rollup group, FSG does not expand the parent value into its child

ranges. If the parent value does not belong to a rollup group, FSG
expands the parent vaue into its child ranges.

No: FSG uses the summary flag associated with the flexfield
assignment to determine whether to expand a parent value into its
child ranges. If the summary flag is set to Yes, FSG does not
expand the parent value into its child ranges. If the summary flag
is set to No, FSG expands the parent value into its child ranges.

The default value for this profile option is No.

SOLUTION DESCRIPTION
--------------------

The FSG:Expand Parent Value profile option controls whether FSG expands
a parent value into its child ranges or uses the parent value.

The summary flag contols whether FSG looks for summary accounts or detail
accounts.

Yes: FSG uses the Rollup Group to determine whether to expand a parent
value into its child ranges. If the parent value belongs to a
rollup group, FSG does not expand the parent value into its child
ranges. If the parent does not belong to a rollup group, FSG expands
the parent value into its child ranges.

No: FSG uses the Summary Flag associated with the flexfield assignment
to determine whether to expand a parent value into its child ranges.
If the summary flag is set to Yes, FSG does not expand the parent
value into its child ranges. If the summary flag is set to No, FSG
expands the parent value into its child ranges.

The following are the possible scenarios:

Example 1
---------
FSG:Expand Parent Value = Yes
Summary Flag = Yes
Parent Value belongs to a Rollup Group

Result:
FSG looks for summary accounts that have this parent value for this segment.
It does not expand the parent value into its child ranges.

Example 2
---------
FSG:Expand Parent Value = Yes
Summary Flag = Yes
Parent Value does not belong to a Rollup Group

Result:
FSG expands the parent value into its child ranges, then looks for
summary accounts that have values for this segment that are within
these child ranges. (The summary template associated with this summary
account would have to have a 'D' for this segment.)

Example 3
---------
FSG:Expand Parent Value = Yes
Summary Flag = No
Parent Value belongs to a Rollup Group

Result:
FSG looks for detail accounts that have this parent value for this
segment. It does not expand the parent value into its child ranges.
It is never going to be successful.

Example 4
---------
FSG:Expand Parent Value = Yes
Summary Flag = No
Parent Value does not belong to a Rollup Group

Result:
FSG expands the parent value into its child ranges, then looks for detail
accounts that have values for this segment that are within these child
ranges.

Example 5
---------
FSG:Expand Parent Value = No
Summary Flag = Yes

Result:
FSG looks for summary accounts that have this parent value for this
segment. It does not expand the parent value into its child ranges.

Example 6
---------
FSG:Expand Parent Value = No
Summary Flag = No

Result:
FSG expands the parent value into its child ranges, then looks for
detail accounts that have values for this segment that are within
these child ranges.

Note:
=====
If you use a content set then make sure that you use the Summary flag there as
well.
