Managing Standard Profitability POVs

A POV displays a particular version of a model for a selected snapshot, such as year, period, and status.

When a new POV is added, the status is automatically set to "Draft" so the POV can be edited.

At least one POV dimension is required for a model; however, you can create multiple POV combinations for a single model. A selected POV with stage and layer information can be saved as an Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management Workspace user preference. You can also copy a POV, to begin a model for a new reporting period, or a different scenario. See Copying Standard Profitability POVs.

The POV dimension defined for the application determines the potential POVs available for a model, but all POVs are not automatically available for assignment or data input. You cannot assign drivers or load data for a POV until it has been added to the model.

The following model elements must be specified for each POV combination:

  • Drivers for source members

  • Assignments, or assignment rule selections

  • Driver data

  • Cost and revenue data

Use the following procedures to work with POVs:
