Relative proportional spread fail with error SpreadConsolidationRulesFailed

Troubleshooting


Problem

Try to perform relative proportional spread, it failed with error SpreadConsolidationRulesFailed.

Symptom

In the referenced view, there is weight sign mismatch between consolidation and its leaves.
Consolidation has negative weight(-) while leaves have positive weight(+).
If relative proportional spread refer this view and data exists on those leaves, spreading become fail.

Cause

The issue that happens in this example is that weights of some leaf elements do not match with the weight of their parent consolidated element. Leaves have positive weights while parent cell has negative weight. On every consolidation, the value of the consolidated cell is calculated using the weight that a user assigned to the elements of that consolidated cell. However Data Spreading only cares about the weights of the elements of leaf cells. As a result, Data Spreading takes weights of the leaf elements, performs its calculations and applies changes and adjustments to the values of leaf cells. According to these calculations, if weights of leaf elements in terms of negativity and positivity match with the weight of their parent element, the calculations are correct and Data Spreading finds its calculated value for the consolidated cell equal to the value of the consolidation (using weight of parent cell). Hence it ends up successfully. If these two values do not match due to different weights (- and +), then calculations fail and Data Spreading will not be able to update leaf cells in a way that top consolidated values match correctly.

Resolving The Problem

Check weight on each member across entire hierarchy and confirm there is no mismatch on sign.
