With Kscope19 quickly approaching, I wanted to remind you of the presentations from KScope18. It was a great week and I hope to build on what was discussed next year. I hope you find these valuable.

A specialty chemical products company created an ASO reporting cube in ePBCS. This application housed detailed data that rolled up to a GL account. The problem was the source didn’t always tie to the GL due to restatements, GL entries, and manual corrections. Since they wanted the data to match to the book of record, but still […]

One thing that I have spent a lot of time on is making calculations independent of forms so that they can be used on any form. For example, rather than hard coding a script to look at a form with one column header and one row header, I am now building things to be dynamic […]

Often times, there is a need to lock cells from a user outside of the traditional dimensional security methods. Maybe you don’t want to add dimensional security to accounts so your data push allows users to push data to another cube. Or, maybe there is more complicated logic to identify who can and who can’t […]

Data forms that have rules on them run when a user saves a form, regardless of whether the form has edited data. Sometimes this is by design, to let a user run a calculation. But, most of the time, it is an accident. There is no reason to use system resources and have the user […]

Not only does that mean we can interact with other environments and do things in calculations we couldn’t do before, we also have the ability to interact with any provider that has REST. You could pull current prices […]

Importing data directly into PBCS can be done in two ways. There is a planning format and an Essbase format. Yes, it can be loaded through Data Management, but this is focused on explaining the direct import process, the formats, and the benefits to each.

Identifying the months to calculate plan and forecast has always been a delicate balance between performance and maintenance. Having a calculation for each required duplication of forms or calculating more than what was required. Calculations required more complicated if logic than what it should have or (I hate when I see this) a calculation that […]
