Detailed Profitability POV Dimensions

A Point of View (POV) dimension is used to present a specific version or perspective of the model. Each model requires at least one dimension to be designated as a POV dimension. The POV dimensions can be whatever is required for the particular model. The following list represents some common sample POV dimensions:

  • Period — Because a model can be based on any unit of time (quarters, months, annual, years, and so on), you can analyze strategies and changes over time, and monitor inventory or depreciation.

  • Year — Identifies the calendar year in which the data has been gathered

  • Scenario — Identifies a version of the model for a specific time period and set of conditions
