Supplemental Data Within Multicube Financial Consolidation Applications

Supplemental Data Manager supports multicube Financial Consolidation applications. All Supplemental Data Manager objects are configured to individual cubes within the consolidation application. This allows users to select the cube from which to validate and use dimension members when working with supplemental data forms. For example, when validating supplemental data, users can choose the cube from which to retrieve the relevant data, rather than being limited to a single, default cube. This helps to validate data from different sources, and manage supplemental information related to different business units or dimensions.

The following Supplemental Data Manager features support multicube consolidation applications:

The Members and Attributes dialog box for platform dimensions lists members of all cubes together (one column for each enabled cube, and displays Yes or No, depending on whether the member is present for that cube or not).
When creating or editing form template section, the enabled cubes are available for selection for Total Validations and Mapping.
When selecting a workflow, it shows members of all cubes together (but it displays Yes or No for a cube so that administrators will know the member that belongs to a cube. This is applicable for Default Interval (Entity dimension) also.)
For Data Collection Periods, the Filter bar displays members of all cubes together and the Period column shows members of all cubes together in the listing.
For Supplemental Data Tasks and Supplemental Data Analysis, the Period filter shows members of all cubes together. Also, the Filter bar for task list shows members of all cubes together for any interval dimension.
