FDM to FDMEE

Overview

Legacy FDM

Financial Data Quality Management: finance owned tool for

integrating and validating financial data from any of your source

systems to the EPM suite.

Key benefits include increased confidence in your numbers,

improved productivity, simplify data handling and reduce cost of

compliance.

End user driven with little involvement on the IT side

11.1.2.3 is the final release of legacy FDM

What is FDMEE?

Financial Data Management Enterprise Edition: the combination of Financial Data Quality Management (FDM) and ERP Integrator (ERPi)

• Integrate metadata and data from an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) source system into an Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) target application

• Drill through from the EPM target application and view data in the ERP source system

• Write-back budget data to the source system from any Oracle Hyperion Planning, Oracle Essbase ASO, or Essbase BSO application

• Enable users to load data from flat files into an Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) target application

• Drill through from the EPM target application and view mapped data and open source file

FDMEE - ERP Source Systems

• ERPi is now fully integrated in Oracle Hyperion Financial Data Management (FDMEE)

• Able to move data and metadata from ERPs to Oracle Enterprise Performance Management (EPM)

• FDMEE has prebuilt framework for:

– Oracle eBusiness Suite

– PeopleSoft Enterprise Fin Mngmnt

– PeopleSoft Commitment Control

– JD Edwards Enterprise

– Fusion General ledger

• Using a prebuilt framework FDMEE will enable EPM applications to drill into ERP data detail (specific journal entries) with context pass through

• FDMEE can write data back into ERPs (budget, forecast)

• The ERP Source System interface is part of the EPM Workspace and is centrally managed using Shared Services

– SAP Financials

– SAP BW

– PeopleSoft Human Capital Management

– Open Interface framework

Key Benefits of FDMEE

• Improved User Experience - user interface is consistent with Planning and Financial Management

• Workspace Integration, including multiple browsers

• Improved performance – improved data load performance using ODI engine

• Shared Services integration – security groups

• Support for Lifecycle Management

• Additional mapping options

What’s different in FDMEE?

• Jython is replacing FDM’s current VBA-based and VBScript-based custom scripting

• Used in Event, Import, Custom and Mapping

• MultiDimensional Mapping

• Enables you to define member mapping based on multiple source column values. This functionality provides you with the ability to load data into dimensions not available in the target application.

• For example, the mapping for Account can be based on the source value in Entity and Product.

• Can only be used on source dimension members, need to use Jython script for target members

• Similar to VarValues in FDM

• Additional wildcard options

• <x>

• <Blank>

• Data Write-Back - You define data write-back rules to determine how you want to extract the budget data from Planning and write it back to the ERP system.

What’s the same in FDMEE?

• The Fish are still there!!!

• Import Formats

• Locations

• Metadata Rules

• Mappings

• Explicit, Between, In, Like

• Same processing order

• Logic Accounts for conditional mapping

• Check Rules – use to define Check report

• Batch processing

• Security – similar to FDM, define user types (loader, reviewer)

• Define by location to facilitate groups

• Reports – most commonly used reports have migrated

FDMEE Look & Feel

16

In today’s presentation, we will cover:

• FDMEE Navigation

• FDMEE Modules

• FDMEE User Demo

Data Import, Validate, Export, Check

New Account Mapping

Drill Through to Source

FDMEE Data Management

17

To access FDMEE, select Navigate > Administrator > Data Management

FDMEE Workflow

Data Load

• Data Load Workbench – Import, Validate, Export and Check

• Data Load Rule – define data load rules to extract data from your ERP source system

• Data Load Mapping – used to define the mapping from the source system to the target system

• Logic Group - system generated accounts that are used to calculate supplemental values that are not provided in source files

• Check Rule Group – used to define check report

• Check Entity Group – used to assign check report to entities

FDMEE Workflow

19

Metadata

• Metadata Rule – used to define metadata load. Does not load all attributes. For example, HFM can load account and entity but for account only account type and C1-C4

Write Back

• Write Back Workbench – provides the functionality from which you can review and verify the data to be written back to the ERP system

• Write Back Rule – use to define rules to extract the budget data from Planning and write it back to the ERP system

• Write Back Mapping – data write back mappings occur at the member level and are used for data write-back rules

FDMEE Workflow

20

Other

• Batch Execution – to show all batches that have been defined in FDMEE, and schedule batches

• Report Execution – to run FDMEE reports

Monitor

• Process Details – to view submitted rule status and logs

FDMEE Setup

21

Configure

• System Settings – apply to entire system

• Application Settings – apply to specific target application

• Security Settings – role and location

• User Settings – apply to a specific user

Register

• Source System – register source application to use with FDMEE

• Target Application – register target application to use with FDMEE

• Source Accounting Entity – select the source system accounting entities (ledgers or business units) you want to use for integration.

• Source Adapter – enables you to extract data from source system in a flexible and customizable manner

FDMEE Setup

22

Integration Setup

• Import Format – use to define source segments to target dimensions

• Location – specify where to load data

• Period Mapping – define periods to be used

• Category Mapping – define categories to be used

Reports

• Query Definition – SQL queries that can be written to display data as a report

• Report Definition – determines the report definition, can create report based on query definition

Batch

• Batch Definition – use to define batch jobs and parameters

FDMEE User Demo

Data File Import, Export, Validate, Check

23

• Import and Validate happen as single step during import

• Several new features in Data Load Workbench:

Columns display Source and Target for each dimension

Easier to sort and filter on dimension

Show All Data, Valid Data, Invalid Data and Ignored Data

• Process details button to view log file (good for resolving errors)

• Check report needs to be saved prior to viewing

FDMEE User Demo

Account Mapping with Multi Dimension

59

• Multi Dimension mapping – define member mappings based on

multiple source column values. For example, map based on source

Account and ICP.

• Special Character mapping – used in Like mapping only

Asterisk (*) – used for wildcard mapping, many characters

Question mark (?) – placeholder for one character

<1>, <2>, <3>, <4>, <5> – Processes concatenated values and extracts the corresponding segment value (identified by the segment number). For example: <2> special character from “01_420” source data, results in “420”. The second segment value of 420 is returned.

<Blank>

• Methods above can replace mapping previously done using

var(Values)

Migration

Migration considerations:

• Enhancements:

– Performance

– Multidimensional mapping

– Wildcarding

• How much scripting do you currently have?

• What is the desire to drill directly into ledgers?

• What do you use to load data to Essbase?

• How do you maintain you metadata in your EPM suite?

• Other EPM Suite application enhancements desired.
