Staff Cube with Movement Analysis - Feeders

[RJ!]

I'm having issues with setting up the feeders to my Staff Cube...

My problem seems to be determining the logic for the Feeders for "Attrition" & "Transfer Out" Balance Types.
For the "New" & "Transfer In" the Feeder seems to be working properly when referencing the Balance Type "EOP" as the rules for those Types are largly based on the EOP.
For the Attrition & Transfer Out, the Rule references a 2nd cube (Biz_Staff_Map) that is like a mapping / DB Cube that stores the historical data as String Values so that I can query if the Employees ID existed last month and / or changed Cost Centre between months. Am I correct in saying that this should be the source for my Feeder?

Below is the Code I've currently got saved in the Staff Cube Rule:

Code: Select all

		# 201212 - JC Rules to Feed the Account Structure

SKIPCHECK ;


#UNDEFVALS ;

# New
['New'] = N:	

# Does the SOE ID have a current Balance in any account:

FEEDERS;

[BalanceType: 'EOP'] => [ BalanceType: 'New'] ;
[BalanceType: 'EOP'] => [ BalanceType: 'Transfer In'] ;

#Test 1:
#[BalanceType: 'EOP'] => [ BalanceType: 'Attrition'] ;
#[BalanceType: 'EOP'] => [ BalanceType: 'Transfer Out'] ;
#Test 2:
#[BalanceType: 'EOP'] => DB('Biz_Staff2',!Version,!SectionCode,!SectionA,!SectionB,!SectionC,!Staff,!Product,!ResponsibilityCentre,!Account,attrs('Period', !Period, 'Prior_Mth'),'Attrition','HeadCount') ;
#[BalanceType: 'EOP'] => DB('Biz_Staff2',!Version,!SectionCode,!SectionA,!SectionB,!SectionC,!Staff,!Product,!ResponsibilityCentre,!Account,attrs('Period', !Period, 'Prior_Mth'),'Transfer Out','HeadCount') ;

Per the Code, I have tried to reference just the Balance Type in Test 1 & then the tried to use Prior Month in Test 2.

Since the Attrition & Transfer Out rely on the results from references back to the Biz_Staff_Map Cube, should be Feeder be looking at that Cube for my Feeder?

An example of my Biz_Staff_Map is below:


So for the employee above, they left in September and should be an attrition in my Cube in October so when looking at the leaf level I get this:


Though as soon as i use the Zero Supress, I loose my Attrition:


So the first one proves that my rule works, the 2nd is obvioulsy suggesting that I have issues with my existing Feeders (Whether I user Test 1 or Test 2 versions of their Feeders)

Any ideas on where I'm going wrong?

Happy New Year Bumb!!

Hi RJ!,

You are asking why is the -1 not reflecting when you use the Zero Suppressed? have you tried to Trace Feeder & Trace calculation ? From there, you should be able to figure out what feeder you lack of, that is causing the -1 not reflecting ?

[RJ!]

Hi Beek,

Yeah, I have been looking at the Trace Calculation & Feeder and it's fine for the lowest level stuff but I do the Trace Feeder for anything that is higher than that.

[beek]

Did you add feeder at the Biz_Staff_Map cube ? Usually when the value is gone at Zero Suppressed, means the feeder is not fed.

[RJ!]

Yeah, I know my feeder is not feeding properly, I'm just not sure why

Per your suggestion of feeding from the Sys_Staff_Map cube, how do you go about doing that?

[beek]

just read your feeder again. I noticed, there's no feeder for Attrition. (even for biz_Staff2 cube)
If my understanding on your cube is correct, if there's EOP of the previous month, there should b Attrition this month. right? If so, the feeder can be something like
[BalanceType: 'EOP'] => DB('Biz_Staff2',!Version,!SectionCode,!SectionA,!SectionB,!SectionC,!Staff,!Product,!ResponsibilityCentre,!Account,attrs('Period', !Period, 'Next_Mth'),'Transfer Out','Attrition') ;

Pls check the dimensions. most importantly is EOP is to feed to the N+1 month for Attrition.
