Initial Setup
The Excel Add-in is a client side tool that you install onto your computer. When
installed, a new menu Consolidation is created in Excel. You will use this menu to
access the Excel Add-in functionality.
Installing Excel Add-in
In Oracle Financial Consolidation Hub, navigate to Consolidation > Reporting > Excel
Note:
Financial Consolidation Hub uses the signage methodology
Standard GAAP. However, consolidation results in Analytical
Reporting use a different methodology to make report definition easier
and more compliant with published financial statements. No negative
sign is used unless the balance is opposite what would be normally
expected. For example, a liability balance in Financial Consolidation
Hub of –100 would show up as a balance of 100 in Analytical
Reporting. The signage is converted to the Analytical Report format
when the consolidation results are move from the FEM_BALANCES
table to the data table specified in the Analytical Reporting task.
