Time Aggregation from Time to All Periods

Hi everyone,

while working on a module containing Sales Data by Month and then referencing the same into another module containing Sales Data without Time Dimension, I noticed that Time doesn't aggregate on All Periods (which is set on Time Calendar) as other custom lists do through Top Level setup.

It seems that for Time aggregation referencing the line item it's not enough, so you should use Timesum or Select [Time.All Periods].

Does anyone of you know the exact reason of this behaviour? Should be because Time Dimensions is different from Custom Lists, but wanted to know the technical reason.

Thank you,

Joana

My understanding is, since 'All Periods' is an explicit setting at model time calendar settings, this is not allowed/designed to auto-rollup to. And hence we need SELECT function.
However, as you know, a day ⇒ week ⇒ month ⇒ year kind of an aggregation is similar to that of any other list, as long as time summary is enabled.

Cheers!
