About Calculating Models

You can calculate models for one or more points of view. For example, you could run a Forecasting model against 12 periods of data.

When you run a model against a point of view, Enterprise Profitability and Cost Management layers your results on top of your source data without changing it. This makes is easy to undo or redo running a single rule, a rule set, or all of your rules at once for an unlimited number of times. You can easily examine each calculation layer rule-by-rule, which provides transparency, credibility, and traceability to your allocations.

Unlike in the General Ledger where reversing allocations and adjustments requires reverse adjustment or restoring data back to a point before the calculations took place, in Enterprise Profitability and Cost Management you can simply clear calculated data.

To calculate a model:

  1. From the Home page, selecting Modeling, and then Calculation Control.

  2. Use the Calculation Control page to create points of view and run calculations.

Note:

You can also use the calculateModel EPM Automate command or the Calculate Model REST API to calculate a model.
