About Valid Intersections

Data source type: Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud

Your Planning administrator can enable applications for valid intersections. In form, valid intersections allow you to view or enter data only at predefined "valid" intersections.

For example, valid intersections might consist of a subset of Segment members which are valid only with a limited list of departments, or specific programs which are valid only for certain time periods.

Forms that are enabled for valid intersections can provide faster data entry and simplified plan validation resulting in higher quality Planning data, as well as easier maintenance of data entry forms. Data integrity is still maintained at "invalid" intersections.

When valid intersections are defined in an application, then cell intersections considered "invalid" are read-only.

Note:

Planning Administrators: In this guide, the topics on valid intersections are primarily intended for Oracle Smart View for Office end users.
