SQL rule - Details

• 
  Key Concepts: 
  SQL rule is a feature of SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation (EPM-FC) that allows users to define rules in Structured Query Language (SQL) to control the data flow between the consolidation application and the database. It enables users to create custom rules to control the data flow, such as setting up validation rules, defining data sources, and creating custom calculations. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use SQL rule, users must first create a rule in SQL. This can be done by writing a SQL statement that defines the desired behavior of the rule. Once the rule is written, it can be saved and applied to the consolidation application. The rule will then be applied to all data that passes through the consolidation application. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a SQL rule, it is important to ensure that the syntax is correct and that all necessary parameters are included. Additionally, it is important to test the rule before applying it to ensure that it works as expected.
