About Running Reports for Standard Profitability Models

There are internal reports for validating the model; for example, the stage balancing screen and data entry views.

You can also run system reports following calculations. In addition to these, you can use the Manage Queries screen to build and manage Oracle Smart View for Office queries to be run against the Calculation or Reporting Cubes created by Oracle Hyperion Profitability and Cost Management. Running the queries from the query management screen launches Smart View with the query results. The details are discussed in the following sections.

You can also use other Oracle reporting tools or third-party reporting tools to report against the Oracle Essbase cubes to view calculation results:

• Oracle Hyperion Web Analysis

• Oracle Hyperion Financial Reporting

• Smart View can also be independently used to report against the Essbase cubes or launched in the context of a query from the Manage Queries screen

Using these reporting tools, you can generate the reports to view exactly the information you require. The procedures shown in this section suggest steps you need to take to build the reports, but you must use the supporting documentation for the selected reporting tool for detailed instructions on creating and running the reports.
