Check the Hierarchy of Rollups and Resolve any Conflicts

About Rollup Verification

If Rollups have been created for a Master Plan, the side navigation menu displays a Rollup Verification bar. On entry, the Hierarchy tab is active, with an additional tab for (resolving) Conflicts available in the tab header.

The Hierarchy tab displays the list of established Rollups. Each hierarchy conflict identified for a Rollup will be labeled with an [Alert] icon to its left. If you hover the mouse over the icon, a screen tip will appear that contains more information about the conflict.

Cross-reference: To create, edit, or change the order of Rollups, see: Master Plan Reporting Levels > Rollups.

About Hierarchy Conflicts

When balanceAAP builds the Rollup hierarchy from data, the system will identify any values that roll up incorrectly, such as:

  • A child value that rolls up to two or more parent values
  • A blank parent value (The data records will be included in reporting, but may show up on the incorrect report.)

Example: If two Rollups were created—Division and Country—and Division 1 shows in both Country A and Country B, this will be flagged.
