When data needs to be loaded to only some periods for a Historical Data load, which property provides a quick way to complete the Workflow if no data is loaded to a period?

When data needs to be loaded to only some periods for a Historical Data load, which property provides a quick way to complete the Workflow if no data is loaded to a period?

• A. Is Optional Data Load
• B. Can Load Unrelated Entities
• C. Flow Type No Data Zero View Override
• D. Force Balance Accounts to YTD View

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that you can tell the data load that it’s allowed to have periods with no data and still complete the workflow. Is Optional Data Load marks a historical data load as optional for those periods, so if no data is provided for a period, the workflow doesn’t fail or stall—it proceeds to finish quickly. This is exactly what you want when you know some periods won’t have data and you don’t want to waste time handling empty loads. Other options don’t address this workflow behavior: loading unrelated entities is about what can be loaded, a setting related to how zero data is treated in a specific view, and adjusting balance accounts to a YTD view changes how results are displayed rather than how the load workflow completes when data is absent.
