Customer Costs Lines and Product Costs Lines Tables Configuration

This configuration is applicable only when implementing Financial Profitability Analytics and allocating expenses across Customer or Product dimensions.

By default, Oracle E-Business Suite Data Intelligence captures revenue-related transactions but doesn't include miscellaneous costs or expenses associated with generating that revenue, such as:

  • Marketing campaign expenses

  • Promotional costs

  • Customer acquisition costs

  • Product-specific operational expenses

  • Other indirect business expenses

To include these costs in profitability analysis, the data must be provided through the inline datasets FILE_CUSTOMER_COST_LINE_FS and FILE_PRODUCT_COST_LINE_FS.
