Clearing Data

You can clear data for selected entities and accounts for a specific scenario, year, period, or list of periods. When you clear data, both base and parent entities are cleared. However, only base-level accounts are cleared. You cannot clear any cells that contain posted intercompany transactions.

Note:

You must select only unlocked cells when you clear data, or the clear process does not complete successfully.

To clear data, you must have the Database Management security role.

To clear invalid records from the database, you must be an administrator. See the Oracle Hyperion Financial Management Administrator's Guide.
