About Managing Standard Profitability Models

The Managing Models options are used to build the top-level structure of a model, and to control model preferences and connections.

From the Model Summary, you can view system information and set model-level preferences.

Within the Stages section, you assign Oracle Essbase dimensions to each stage defined in the model, and create the intersections in which data for the stage is stored.

Points of View (POVs) are used to create various versions of a model; for example, to hold budget versus actual figures, or to play scenarios to measure the impact of various changes on the bottom line.

To facilitate data entry, you can load data to Essbase or through data entry screens in Oracle Hyperion Profitability and Cost Management. The staging tables, which are created by the Profitability and Cost Management administrator, can be used to load model information, such as driver definitions, driver selections, assignments, and so on, to Profitability and Cost Management.
