EPM Account and Functional Area Dimension Report

[former_member343994]

For Operating Expense section of the P&L, requirement is to combine account and functional area, what is the best way to do this?  Is nested dimensions the only way to achieve the result, please advise.

Hi Sunny,

If you are doing planing functional area wise and you multiple functional areas then its better to create new dimension else you can do concatenation of functional are to account .

No I was not trying to exclude any of the FA.  What I was asking was that if there is another way of designing the report to show account and functional area other than nested columns; but I'm able to achieve what I wanted based on the screen shot I sent earlier.

That is the standard way of EPM reporting! If your query is solved, please close the discussion.

Sunny, you can mark the thread with any response as Correct answer or you can mark it as "Assumed answer". This option is available besides "Not answered".

Search on SCN as well.

Below is a screen shot.  I basically have Account on the first column and Functional Area on the second column.  For operating Expense, yes specific account and Functional area combination would have to be displayed, in this case IRAD, BP, MKTG which are non admin expenses are displayed  as well as the FA that makes up the admin is displayed.

Sunny, so are you saying that you have to exclude some of the functional areas while displaying in the report? In your above report IRAD ,BP,MKTG are non admin expenses, so do you have to exclude this from your report?? What is that you want to show? Please explain

Hi Sunny,

Do you have Functional area as a dimension? If yes....then can you please share your report structure with screenshot?

In P&L for operating expenses do you have to show individual functional area wise expenses or a cumulative sum of functional areas for a particular expense?

Share report screenshot!
