If you are unable to export certain adjustment rules, try to determine whether the problematic rules were originally imported from another SAS Financial Management environment.

We have found that this might occur with rules that were imported from a Source system that has one more Analysis dimension member than the Target system. When the import process looks up the Analysis member codes on the Target environment, some member codes might not be found. If the Analysis member codes are not found, the system sets the member ID to 0. If there is more than a single instance of Analysis member codes not found, the rule import process fails. If there is just one instance of Analysis member code not found, the rule import process completes successfully. However, the rule still has a 0 for the member ID for a single Analysis dimension member. This causes the adjustment rule export to fail.

As a workaround,

• Select the adjustment rule.
• Select 'Show properties for this rule'.
• Once the properties dialog box is open, select the 'Allocation Step 1' tab and (Assuming you do not see anything incorrect in the Source Members or Allocation Method), select 'OK. This drops the source/target analysis member value = 0 records from your rule. You should now be able to export your rule successfully.

This is marked as fixed in SAS Financial Management 5.3.
