Validating Detailed Profitability Model Structure

The Detailed Profitability model structure must be validated before calculation to ensure all required modeling rules have been applied.

You must click Validate on each tab of the Model Validation screen to evaluate the different components of the application. After the validation for the tab is performed, any errors or warnings are displayed.

Before a model can be successfully calculated, all errors in the model structure must be corrected.

To validate model stages:

1. From Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management Workspace, select Navigate, then Applications, then Profitability, and then select the application that you want to view.
2. In an open model, from Task Areas, select Validate, and then Model Validation.
   
   
   
3. On the Model Validation screen, select the POV for the model to be validated and then click Load the POV status .
4. Click Validate on each of the following tabs to perform the validation:

   • Select Model Data Registration tab to see whether any column mappings or measures are incorrect. See Registering Detailed Profitability Model Data.

   • Select Drivers tab to determine whether any errors exist for the drivers. See Defining Detailed Profitability Drivers.

   • Select Calculation Rules tab to view any invalid calculation rules. See Working With Calculation Rules.

   • Select the Unused Drivers tab to view any unassigned drivers in the model and to determine whether these drivers should be part of an assignment. SeeWorking with Detailed Profitability Drivers to assign the driver, if required.

   • Select the Missing Driver Assignments tab to view all source intersections that are missing driver selections. See Working with Detailed Profitability Drivers.

   • Select the Assignment Rules tab to view any invalid assignment rules. See Working with Detailed Profitability Assignment Rules.

   When the validation is complete, the screen is updated to reflect the results.

5. Correct all error or warning conditions on each tab.
6. When all errors on all tabs are corrected, repeat the model validation until no errors are detected.
7. When the validation is successful, calculate the model. See Calculating Detailed Profitability Models.
