The following terminology for Flow-Through includes:

 

Source Unit

The unit from which numbers are pulled. Factors are applied to source unit data before it is written to the target unit. You can designate multiple source units. Data from all source units is added by the system. The result is placed in the target unit.

 

Target Unit

The unit to which numbers are pushed or written.

 

Target Tag

Determines where data is written in the target unit.

 

Target Classes

Determines where data is written in the target unit.

 

Manual Adjustments Tag

A target unit tag allowing users to make manual adjustments to existing numbers. Data in the target unit in the manual adjustments tag is not deleted or zeroed out.

 

Exclusion Clearing Tag

A target unit tag specifying that existing data should not be deleted or cleared out. You can designate one or more exclusion clearing tags.

 

Exclusion Pulling Tag

A source unit tag specifying that existing data should not be pulled. You can designate one or more exclusion pulling tags.

 

Component Type

A type of data that can be copied from source unit to target unit. (Examples: PTBI, permanent differences, temporary differences) A component type rolls all detail into a Target Rollup Component. Then the detail is either copied or summarized by tag.

 

---

Note: The data for a component type that is not selected is not changed; it is not deleted, zeroed out, or copied (factored).

---

 

Activity Factor

A percentage applied to source unit numbers before they are written to a target unit. Factors can be positive or negative. For example, if the Temporary Differences factor is set to 50%, the activity of each temporary difference is multiplied by 50% and the result is added to the target unit.

 

Include In Copy

Designated component types for which data from the source unit is copied and factored into the target unit. The level of detail in the target unit is determined by the Detail Copy Action option selected or if a Target Rollup Component is selected.
