Creating a Profitability and Cost Management Application

EPM Enterprise Cloud Service Landing Page

If you have an EPM Enterprise Cloud Service 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 an EPM Enterprise Cloud Service application, disregard this section, and go directly to the steps under "Steps to Create an Application" below.

Each subscription to the EPM Enterprise Cloud 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 Business Process in Getting Started with Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud for Administrators.
