Administrator responsibility, navigate to Configuration Rules > Dimension > Members.
Here, you can use the Enterprise Performance Foundation user interface to view,
update, and create dimension members. You can also use the WebADI spreadsheet
loader.
Task 7: Dimension Hierarchies
Task 7 is only necessary if you need to create additional dimension hierarchies. For Task
7, you can do the following:
• Create dimension hierarchies for processing and reporting
• Search and view, and search and update any existing dimension hierarchies
A dimension hierarchy is a structure of dimension members that is organized by
parent/child relationships. Dimension hierarchies can have multiple versions, all of
which have an effective date range.
If you are using Oracle General Ledger, then the segment value hierarchies for the
relevant charts of accounts are automatically synchronized with Enterprise Performance
Foundation as dimension hierarchies.
For information on transferring dimension hierarchies from Oracle General Ledger to
Enterprise Performance Foundation, see Using Oracle General Ledger with Enterprise
Performance Foundation, page 5-17.
If you do not use Oracle General Ledger or if you need additional hierarchies for
analytical or consolidation purposes, you can create them using WebADI spreadsheet
loaders. You can also use the spreadsheet loaders to update any existing hierarchies.
The spreadsheet loaders enable you to enter hierarchies as an unlimited number of
parent-child pairs. You can version hierarchies, for example, to take reorganizations
into account. When you run consolidation, Financial Consolidation Hub uses the
appropriate version based on the effective date for which you are consolidating.
Note:
The Enterprise Performance Foundation user interface will access
dimension members from the ledger specified in Application
Preference, set the Ledger to the ledger you want to view. See: Initial
Setup in Enterprise Performance Foundation, page 5-4 .
Note:
Although the Financial Consolidation Hub user interface does
not allow you to disable dimension members, Financial Consolidation
Hub enforces disabling for any dimension members you disable in
Enterprise Performance Foundation. For example, you cannot run data
submission on a calendar period that is disabled in Enterprise
Performance Foundation.
