I practiced a similar question, and I think the audience query should definitely come after the exclusion query, which points to option B again.

Option B seems like the safest bet. Separating the two queries and ordering them correctly should ensure the data is up-to-date when the audience is built.

I'm a little confused by the different hierarchies and how they all fit together. I'll need to take some time to really understand the relationships between the PeopleSoft, SAP, and consolidated charts of accounts.

I'm gonna go with B) on this one. It's the most logical setup to ensure the exclusion is updated before the audience query runs. Anything else would be like trying to herd cats with a pool noodle.
