Confidential – Internal/Restricted/Highly Restricted

• Our sample has two data columns or Smart Lists:– Depreciation Method– Depreciation Convention

• Keep in mind, FDMEE can only handle one data column at a time• Smart List textual value have to be converted to a number prior to load (i.e.

SLN = 1)Slide 3

Sample Data


• In FDMEE, add a dimension for each Smart List values

• Under Data Table Column Name, assign a UD numberto each dimension

• Assign a sequence number to the SL dimensions to ensure they get process first by FDMEE

Slide 4

FDMEE – Target Application Settings


Under Expression, assign a dummy value to both the Account and Amount field to prevent FDMEE from

erroring out

Slide 5

FDMEE – Import Format Settings


FDMEE - Location


• Under the Account dimension, create a separate SQL mapping for each SL value• Match each script to a Data Load

Rule (once you have created the DLR), that way each DLR will only run a specific script

Slide 7

FDMEE – Data Load Mapping Settings

Set AMOUNTX to the mapped/target value of the SL dimension (UD19X…)


Create an explicit mapping for each SL dimension with the SL Name in the source column and the SL ID in the target

Slide 8

FDMEE – Data Load Mapping Settings (Cont’d)


• Create a Data Load Rule (DLR) for each SL value• The DLRs are

exactly the same, their purpose is to allow FDMEE to process the file as many time as needed

Slide 9

FDMEE – Data Load Rule Settings


Execute the Data Load Rule


• The SQL script hardcoded the Account member and converted SL from a textual to a numerical value

Slide 11
