OWE Dimension Correction Pages

Organizational change is both necessary and inevitable. Your organization will restructure departments, hire new department managers, develop new products, and obtain new customers through a variety of sales channels. In each case, you must capture these business rules in EPM.

Although the prepackaged ETL jobs are designed to automatically capture these changes to your organization, you might encounter times when you are required to add or update dimensions directly in the PeopleSoft pages. You can use the OWE Dimension Maintenance menu items for this purpose (EPM Foundation, Business Metadata, OWE Dimension Maintenance).

This menu includes a separate menu item for each functional area that corresponds to one or more dimensions from your PeopleSoft source data and contains the following categories:

Common.
CRM.
Supply Chain Management.
Human Resource Management System.

For example, under the Common menu there is a specific menu item to add or update common dimensions. The following is an example of one of the maintain dimension pages:

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Maintain Dimension page.

For each dimension, enter the relevant information for your dimension and save.

Warning! It is recommended that dimensions be accessible only to the EPM Administrator.

Note: Critical errors, such as missing SetIDs or business units, must be fixed on their respective setup pages. Typically, the types of errors you correct in the dimension pages are the non-key fields of an error record.
