OverDriven Costs and Revenue

Oracle Hyperion Profitability and Cost Management drives cost or revenue from a source to a destination, using a combination of assignments, which govern where to drive the cost, and drivers, which determine the amount to drive.

With Actual basis drivers, the amount driven from the source to all destinations is always the actual amount. With Standard basis drivers, it is possible to drive more than the actual amount to the destinations. Overdriven cost is the amount that exceeds, or is "over" the actual amount that was driven from the source to all destinations

Example of OverDriven Cost

Source X - 100 NetCostForAssignment assigned to 3 destinations (A,B,C)

• Destination A - 35 CostReceived

• Destination B - 35 CostReceived

• Destination C - 35 CostReceived

Source X - NetCostForAssignment = 100

Total amount driven from X to all destinations (CostAssigned) = 105

OverdrivenCost = 5

UnassignedCost = 0
