Creating Mappings Using the Explicit Method

“Explicit” mappings enable you enter a source value to be matched exactly and replaced with a target value. Use an explicit mapping to explicitly map the members from the EPM target application to specific members in the source ledger. For example, if you have Account100 in your EPM target application, you can map it to Account1, allowing you to explicitly define how to dimensionalize the data file that is loaded into the target application.

  To create an “explicit” mapping:

  1. Click Add.

  2. Enter the Source Value or click Search button. to select a value.

    The source value is the ERP segment value. See Using Special Characters in the Source Value Expression for Like Mappings.

  3. Optional: Enter a description.

  4. Enter the Target Value or click Search button. to select a member.

    The target value is the EPM dimension member name. See Using Special Characters in the Target Value Expression.

  5. Click Save.
