16.7. Set up of Entry Code Groups

From a reporting perspective it is best to set up Entry Code Groups in SICS with unique names, otherwise,if there are two with the same name (for example where they relate to different Entry Code Group Categories) then the value reported of any measure objects (e.g. the premium) will be multiplied by 2.

If for some reason, two entry code groups in SICS are required to have the same name, then to avoid getting incorrect results when using measure objects there are two options:

• Its must to always include the Entry Code Group

  Category in the list of objects to be returned in your report. Or

• It must define a special Entry Code Group Category in SICS for reporting purposes. For example for on-line statistics in SICS it is recommended that an Entry Code Group Category called “Accounting Report” be set up. If this contains all the Entry Code Groups that are required to report on in Business Objects then this category can be used, otherwise in SICS, a special Entry Code Group Category for “Business Objects Reporting” should be defined, and set up all the Entry Code Groups under this category, which are required. In each report, remember to add a condition that the Entry Code Group Category be equal to the one which is defined.

It is far better however to give all Entry Code Groups in SICS unique names.
