Understanding the Analytic Calculation Engine Interface

The PeopleTools ACE (Analytic Calculation Engine) is used in conjunction with Planning and Budgeting line item activities. The ACE tool is not used in conjunction with entering data into asset and position activity types; they are built using PeopleCode. The four delivered analysis reports that use the drag-drop feature for line item, assets, and position analysis use ACE.

The PeopleTools ACE is a delivered set of tools, and only requires analytic servers to be turned on as part of application server configuration.
