Defining Category Mappings

You define category mappings for categorizing and mapping source system data to a target EPM Scenario dimension member. For example, you may have a Scenario dimension member called Actuals for storing actual balances from a Oracle General Ledger application. In an Planning application, the same source system data is stored using the Scenario dimension member "Current". In Data Management, you can create one category mapping to give both one name to represent their respective scenarios.

You create category mapping for the scenario dimension member in Planning from which budget is written back.

1. On the Setup tab, under Integration Setup, select Category Mapping.

2. Select Global Mapping.

3. Click Add.

   A blank entry row is displayed.

4. In Category, enter a name that corresponds to the Planning application Scenario dimension member from which you want to load data.

5. In Target Category, enter the name of the Planning Scenario dimension members from which you want to load data.

6. Click Save.
