Global Mappings

You can define one global mapping to map various Scenario dimensions to the individual mapping.

The global category mapping lets you define mappings that cross multiple applications. For example, you may have a case where a source category of an actual maps to a target of an actual in most cases. But you may have a case where you have a target application where the actual maps to current. In this case, it provides the ability to override the global mapping on an application basis.

Note:

Avoid using special characters in names or spaces if you plan to use batch scripts. Some characters may cause issues when run from a command line.

To define a global category mapping:

1. On the Setup tab, and then under Integration Setup, select Category Mapping.
2. Select Global Mapping.
3. Click Add.

   A blank entry row is displayed.

4. In Category, enter the name of the category.
5. In Description, enter a description of the category.
6. In Frequency, select the frequency of the category.

   The category indicates the frequency defined in the period mapping, for example, Daily, Monthly, Quarterly, or Yearly.

7. Enter the target category.

   For example, the target category is the Scenario dimension in the Planning application.

8. Click Save.
9. Optional: Perform these tasks:

   • To edit a mapping, select the mapping, make changes as necessary, and then click Save.

   • To delete a mapping, click Delete.
