About Using Aggregate Storage Components to Design Business Rules

Use aggregate storage components to design business rules.

Business rules in Planning aggregate storage applications are composed of different components than business rules in Planning block storage applications. :

These are the three components you use to design business rules in Planning aggregate storage applications

• Point of View components contain lists of metadata members (for example, lists of accounts).

  Note:

  You can nest a Point of View component within another Point of View component.

• Allocation components contain calculations for distributing data from members at one level in the database outline to other members in the outline.

• Formula components contain calculation statements that you design using members, functions, and variables.

As you create components, you may want to leave the business rules, components, templates and variables you're working with open. Calculation Manager displays these objects in a tabbed interface so you can move easily among the tabs as you are creating components. You can have as many as ten tabs open within Calculation Manager, but Oracle recommends that you not open more than ten objects simultaneously for optimum performance.
