Creating an EPM Standard Cloud Service Application

The landing page is your starting point for creating an application and for viewing an overview video tour to help you get started.
EPM Standard Landing page

Each subscription to the EPM Standard Cloud Service allows you to create one application.

The EPM Standard Cloud Service landing page presents the applications that you can create.

Note:

After you initiate the creation of an application, you cannot return to the landing page. If wish to return to the landing page to create a different application, you must first reset your environment to its original state. See Switching to a Different Cloud EPM Business Process in Getting Started Guide for Administrators.

You have two options to create an application:

  • Choosing your own settings to create the application

  • Using an existing snapshot to create the application

These options are displayed on a business process-specific landing page similar to the following illustration:


Create or Migrate options

On the landing page, click SELECT under Financial Consolidation and Close to view available options for creating a Financial Consolidation and Close business process.

  • Create a new application: Click START to create a business process.

    The Financial Consolidation and Close business process is a set of related dimensions and members designed to meet a set of consolidation and close process needs. A business process has its own accounts, entities, scenarios, and other data elements. See Creating a Financial Consolidation and Close Application.

  • Migrate: Click MIGRATE to import a business process from a snapshot that you previously uploaded to the environment. See What Business Processes Can I Migrate to Cloud EPM? in Getting Started Guide for Administrators for prerequisites and snapshot compatibility.
