Application

Application properties are the equivalent of the application settings section in the Classic Financial Management metadata files. Application properties apply to an entire Financial Management application and determine the following information for the application:

  • Is the organization dynamic, using organization by period?

  • Which dimensions are secured?

  • What default translation rates are used?

  • What is the ICP weight?

  • Are consolidation rules applied?

  • What is the default currency?
