About Management Ledger POVs

You must have at least one POV dimension, and you can have up to four. Users define the POV dimensions and their names. Calculations are performed using the specific data and calculation rules of that POV for different months or situations.

A typical POV includes the Year, Period, and Scenario. The first step for almost every activity in Oracle Hyperion Profitability and Cost Management is the selection of a POV.

Note:

Calculation rules in Management Ledger models are POV-specific. For a calculation rule or rule set or global context definition to exist within a POV, there must be a unique definition of that artifact within the POV.

A model can be edited only if the POV is set to "Draft" status (Modifying the Management Ledger POV State). You can modify the POV to reflect new drivers, criteria, or members, enabling you to create alternative scenarios. By comparing these scenarios, you can evaluate how changes affect the processes or bottom line.

You can also create separate versions of the same POV to monitor the impact of changes to the model, or track different versions of the same model.
