Creating a Profitability and Cost Management Application

EPM Enterprise Cloud Service Landing Page

If you have a Oracle Fusion Cloud EPM application, the landing page is your starting point for creating a Profitability and Cost Management application and for viewing an overview video to help you get started.

Note:

If you do not have a Cloud EPM application, disregard this section, and go directly to the steps under "Steps to Create an Application" below.

Each subscription to the Cloud EPM service allows you to create one application. Click SELECT under Profitability and Cost Management to pre-configure your environment. This process takes approximately 20 minutes. Click OK to initiate the pre-configuration process. The environment is not available during the pre-configuration process.

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.

2. Select an option to create the application.

   • Create a sample application: Click CREATE to create a sample business process with data and artifacts. You can use this ready-to-use business process for testing and exploration of functional areas. You can also use it as a template to model your own business process. See Accessing the Sample Application.

   • Create a new application: Click START to create a container business process. See Creating Applications with Dimensions from Flat Files in Administering Profitability and Cost Management.

   • Migrate: Click MIGRATE to import a business process from a snapshot that you previously uploaded to the environment. See What Applications Can I Migrate to EPM Standard Cloud Service and EPM Enterprise Cloud Service for prerequisites and snapshot compatibility.

     See Building Applications by Importing Template Files and Creating and Migrating Profitability and Cost Management Applications in this guide and the following topics in Administering Migration for Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud:

     • Backing Up Artifacts and Application

     • Uploading Archives to the Service
