EPM Data Quality Customer Challenges - Process
• Lack of automated support for
financial restatements
• Limited or non-existent audit trails
• Weak controls around data &
meta data collection
• Business function owned by IT
Data Management can become a real headache!
5
What is Financial Data Quality Management (FDM)?
• Combines four functions/processes
– Collection and transformation of financial data
– Management of periodic process to collect and
transform data
– Documentation of internal controls to support
compliance
– Investigation of audit trails, drill through and write
back to source
• Data Quality is no longer an optional feature,
but a requirement

Oracle EPM System Delivers Confidence with FDM
Audit Trails Data Collection
• Integrated Control questions and Transformation
• Store current and historical • Read and interpret G/L trial
mapping definitions, docs balance files and ERP sources
• Allow dynamic drill through • Mapping validation against
to source ERP and files target system dimensions
• “Defendable” Data • Data & meta data integrity
FDM checking against data validation

10
Import from Any Source
End users “Import” their source
financial data (from files, DB’s or ERP)
into FDM eliminating all manual
changes ensuring complete accuracy.
11
Smart Dimensional Mapping
Invalid dimension mapping problems are
identified for easy correction. FDM allows for
simple or complex cross-dimensional and
conditional mapping of data.
12
User Driven Data Validation Rules
End users are given feedback on the
quality, accuracy, and completeness
of the data that they loaded to their
application, so they are
accountable, and can participate in
the data integrity management
process. Additional adjustment data
may be loaded via flat or Excel files.
13
FDM Reports
The Intersection drill-down report allows
for a view of all current source to target
maps for all dimensions in one view, with
values. The report is available in
PDF, Word, Excel, HTML and RTF formats
by default.
14
Visibility Through Dashboards
The Close and Controls
documentation status report provides
further visibility into the process. See
quickly who has loaded data into the
application and full status of the data
load portion of the close process.
15
Supports Sarbanes Oxley Certifications and
Assessment Requirements
Sarbanes Oxley control questionnaires
allow end users to attest to the validity of
financial data.
Business process areas are grouped into
sections and questions can be tied to
activities for monitoring and testing. Built
in workflow allows for promotion of
responses to the next review level.
These questions apply to Section 302
Review Certification, as well as monitoring
the 404 control framework.
16
Drill-Through to Source System to Audit Data

The Solution
The Software
Hyperion Planning v.[Link]
ERPi v.[Link]
Oracle eBusiness Suite v.[Link]
The Design
3 plan types (P&L, Wrkforce, CapEx)
P&L – Revenue and SG&A planning
Actuals in the Projections scenario are “drillable” to sub-ledger detail
Wrkforce – Headcount, salary, benefits, taxes, etc
Oracle HR is not yet compatible with ERPi – used ODI and SQL load rules
CapEx – Capital asset, depreciation, and amortization planning
Oracle Fixed Assets is not yet compatible with ERPi – used ODI and SQL load
rules
How ERPi was used in the solution
Build Account, Department, LocationCC, and Property (Entity) dimensions
Load last year and current year-to-date actual data
27
The Benefits
1. Operational Accountability and Accurate Measurements
2. Simplified Tool and Solutions
Reduced account combination footprint for budgets from 2,000 to 150.
Integration of key data points for billing/CRM leasing pipeline, human
resources, capital expenditures, and general ledger.
Automatic calculations and seeding of budget data.
Simple UI’s
Actual to Budget Variance Explanation Functionality
3. Drilldown from Hyperion Planning to Underlying Transaction
28
The Architecture
29
ERPi Drill Through from Data Input Forms
Two options for accessing Drill Through
Edit->Drill Through->Drill Through to
ERPi (above)
Select the cell (red oval), click the drill
through icon (red circle)
30
ERPi Drill Through
ERPi launch page 2

Drill through to eBS
1. Clicking on the cell value connects to
eBS to show the eBS ledger
2. Clicking the PTD value shows the
ledger detail
3. Journal entry detail
31
ERPi Drill Through from Reports
Drill through to eBS
Each drillable cell value is hyper-linked
Clicking on the cell value launches a
ledger detail screen to show the ledger
detail
From the ledger detail, it follows the
same functionality as from a data form
