In a SAS Financial Management data-entry form, options are available that enable you to enter data directly into a parent (roll-up) cell of the data-entry table. On the Data-Entry tab of the Table Properties dialog box, these options are available:

1. Allow data to be entered for Parent members other than time
   If this option is selected, form users can directly enter values into the cell for a parent member (a roll-up point). The change in the parent's value is added to the VC member for the parent.
2. Allocate from Parent members other than Time using predefined weights
   This option enables automatic allocation. A value that is entered in a parent cell is automatically distributed among eligible leaf members. The allocation is based on weights that are defined in the Allocation Weights window.
3. Allow data to be entered for Time Parent members

If you select options 1 or 2 and open a parent form, the VC member is incorrectly displayed in the data-entry form. The form should open at the parent level, not at the VC level.
