A Using the Sample Data Import Templates

You can use data import templates as a guide to importing data to Predictive Cash Forecasting .

Before importing data, configure the application as described in this guide and import the dimensional metadata.

You can download data import templates from within the application. The templates are generated based on the features you’ve enabled and the custom dimensions that were added.

Predictive Cash Forecasting provides these data load templates as guidance for you to understand the various intersections at which the application expects data. However, Oracle recommends that you use Data Integration as the preferred choice of integration with external sources. Use these templates as guidance, and use Data Integration to configure your data load rules.

For more information about Data Integration, see Administering Data Integration for Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud.

To download the data import templates:

1. From the Home page, click Application and then click Configure.
2. From the Actions menu, select Download Data Load Templates.
3. Save the ZIP file (CASHFLOW_CASH FORECASTING_DATA_LOAD_TEMPLATES.zip) locally, and then extract the CSV files.

If you need more information about using the data load templates for directly loading data, see Importing Data in Administering Planning Modules.
