Understanding Application Types
Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Data Management provides application types for commonly-used external applications. These application types enforce conformity to external applications while requiring minimal configuration. For example, the Planning application type automatically defines the properties required by dimensions.
Cloud EDM also provides a Universal application type, which can be defined and configured in any way you would like, and a Users application type, which can be used to manage a set of users who can be associated with nodes in other applications.
The following table lists the available application types.
| Application Type | More Information | Considerations |
|---|---|---|
| Planning applications | Working with Planning and FreeForm Applications | |
| FreeForm applications | Working with Planning and FreeForm Applications | |
| Planning Modules applications | Working with Planning and FreeForm Applications | Predefined members must be imported from the external application. They can be moved and reordered, you can add a child under them, and you can edit unbound properties on them, but they cannot otherwise be edited in Cloud EDM. See Planning Modules Predefined Members. |
| Financial Consolidation and Close applications | Working with Financial Consolidation and Close Applications | Predefined members must be imported from the external application. They can be moved and reordered, you can add a child under them, and you can edit unbound properties on them, but they cannot otherwise be edited in Cloud EDM. See Financial Consolidation and Close Predefined Members. |
| Enterprise Profitability and Cost Management applications | Working with Enterprise Profitability and Cost Management Applications | Predefined members must be imported from the external application. They can be moved and reordered, you can add a child under them, and you can edit unbound properties on them, but they cannot otherwise be edited in Cloud EDM. See Enterprise Profitability and Cost Management Predefined Members. |
| Tax Reporting applications | Working with Tax Reporting Applications | Predefined members must be imported from the external application. They can be moved and reordered, you can add a child under them, and you can edit unbound properties on them, but they cannot otherwise be edited in Cloud EDM. See Tax Reporting Predefined Members. |
| Oracle Financials Cloud Oracle General Ledger applications | Working with Oracle Financials Cloud General Ledger Applications | Do not use inherited property values in any of the segment value
properties, and avoid using Derived properties that contain positional
logic (such as ancestors, parent,
children, and bottom) when
creating expressions to derive their default values. If your expression
uses positional logic, used Derived and Stored properties instead. See
Predefined Properties for Oracle Financials Cloud General Ledger Applications.

| Oracle E-Business Suite General Ledger applications | Working with E-Business Suite General Ledger Applications | Do not use inherited property values in any of the segment value
properties, and avoid using Derived properties that contain positional
logic (such as ancestors, parent,
children, and bottom) when
creating expressions to derive their default values. If your expression
uses positional logic, used Derived and Stored properties instead. See
Predefined Properties for E-Business Suite General Ledger Applications.
