Check Feeders information

Post by deepakjain2020 »

Hi All,

I am not sure if information is already shared on forum.

IBM Documentation
"Checking Feeders" concept.

You can check feeders ONLY from a consolidated cell; the Check Feeders option is not available from leaf cells.

Finding
But we can check feeders at leaf level. Attaching screenshot for reference

I've taken a quick look at the help files and I don't think you are right on this. However - trace feeders can not be used from consolidations - I'm wondering if that is what you had in mind.

Likewise I don't know where you get the idea that you can't check feeders from a leaf cell.
Please place all requests for help in a public thread. I will not answer PMs requesting assistance.

Yeah its definitely not correct when TM1 is working bug free... however as we all know TM1 has had its share of bugs over the years and there was one release (albeit it quickly fixed) I think around 10.1 that saw a case where you couldn't trace calcs or check feeders from an N-Level cell but C-Level was fine and then you could drill within the check feeders/trace calcs screen to get to the N-Level; but I believe it was a very early release of said version so very few people will have actually implemented it.

Hi David,

Trace feeders - Cannot be used from consolidations (Agree) Given in documentation also.
Check feeders - It says check feeders option is not available for leaf levels (In documentation), I just wanted to share that it is not correct. For reference I have added screenshot where we have Check Feeders option for leaf level.

Think you need to quote the version you are on and the specific passage where it says that check feeders only works at consolidated levels.
