An On-Demand rule would be appropriate for which task?

• A. to perform a custom currency translation for a subset of accounts
• B. to add a column with a calculation to a report
• C. to import data into a form or Smart view worksheet
• D. to allocate data to base entities prior to consolidation

Answer: (C)

On-Demand rules are designed for manual, ad hoc data operations that a user triggers when needed. They’re ideal for tasks where you want to pull in or push data in response to a specific need, such as loading external data into the application so you can view or edit it in forms or Smart View. Importing data into a form or Smart View worksheet fits this pattern perfectly: a user initiates the rule to bring in the latest data, works with it in the worksheet, and then saves it back into FCCS.

Other options involve tasks that are handled by different features or processes. Custom currency translation for a subset of accounts is normally part of translation rules used during consolidation, not a manual import. Adding a column with a calculation to a report is a reporting/analysis activity, not a data import into forms. Allocating data to base entities prior to consolidation is an allocation process, typically done via an allocation rule rather than an ad hoc data-import rule.
