Used By Historical Rates
You can define the dimensions that should be used in the historical rates definition. The
dimensions you can choose are a subset of those you selected for Used by Processing.
The dimensionality for Historical rates is specified in the Used by Historical Rates
column. This column cannot be updated if Historical Rates already exist in the system.
See: Historical Rates, page 12-4
Task 2: FEM Balances Index
Task 2 must be the second step you do in Financial Consolidation Hub after completing
Task 1. For Task 2, System Administrators must manually create a unique index on the
Balances table and Financial Consolidation Hub interface table. You must recreate
FEM_BALANCES_P and create a unique index for FEM_BAL_INTERFACE_T that
contains all the dimension columns selected in Task 1. To see details on the SQL script
needed to recreate FEM_BALANCES_P based on your selected dimensions, click
Preview Index Definition. The preview provides the recommended ordering of columns
for optimal performance for Financial Consolidation Hub. Your database administrator
may further refine the index definition if other applications are being leveraged.
See: Oracle Enterprise Performance Foundation User Guide
Task 3: Data Types
Task 3 must be the third step you do in Financial Consolidation Hub after completing
Task 2. For Task 2, you will be specifying the dataset to use for Actual and Average
balances, as well as optionally defining other balance types.
For Task 3, you can do the following:
• Create any additional data types that you need such as budgets.
• View or update any existing data types.
For a given entity or consolidation hierarchy, you can perform data submission and
consolidation for each data type.
For each data type that you create, you must specify a data set. You can create and
manage data sets using the Enterprise Performance Foundation Administrator
responsibility, Configuration Rules > Dimension.
The Actual and Average balance types are seeded in Financial Consolidation Hub, and
require you to specify an Actual data set. The following table shows the attributes
required for actual data sets.
