Creating Supplemental Data Manager Form Templates

To create and work with Supplemental Data form templates, you must be an Administrator or Power User.

When creating templates, you can specify whether the template can be used for creating ad-Hoc forms, select the users who are allowed to create them, and predefine the approver routing for ad-hoc forms. Individual users, teams, or groups can be defined as approvers and the approval path can be assigned to preparers of ad-hoc forms. Users who have been assigned the proper security rights can then create Supplemental Data Forms from the template as needed.

Note:

The template must be deployed before you can create an ad-hoc form.

For information on entering data into Supplemental Data forms, see the Working with Financial Consolidation and Close guide.

1. On the Home page, click Application, and then click Supplemental Data.
