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.
