range of cells until you reach the bottom (columns)
or right side (rows) of a report.

9 EPMInsertCellsBeforeAfterBlock Inserts cells before or after a block of members for

a specified dimension.

10 EPMReportOptions Overrides the options for one or more reports.

11 EPMDimensionProperty Retrieves the properties of a specified dimension in

a specified cell range.

12 EPMMemberDesc Retrieves the description of the specified dimension

member.

13 EPMMemberOffset Retrieves a member related to another member by

specifying an offset from a given member to
retrieve the previous or subsequent member.

14 EPMSelectMember Retrieves a specified dimension member when you

double-click the cell containing the function.

 the data.

16 EPMSaveData Enables you to enter or modify a comment for a full

set of members.

17 EPMWorkStatus Retrieves information about the work status for a

model and data intersection.

18 EPMComparison Calculates variances with a sign dependent on the

acctype property of the relevant account. For
example, if the actual is above the plan value for a
revenue account, the variance is positive.

19 EPMURL Launches the specified web client component.

20 EPMBook Retrieves a specified text. You can double-click to

open a book published in the Planning and
Consolidation web client.

21 EPMLink Displays a specified text, which you can double-click

to open a report contained in another file that is an
Excel workbook, a Word document, or a
PowerPoint presentation. When you double-click
the link, the context is passed along.

22 EPMExecuteAPI Enables you to execute the application

programming interfaces (APIs) directly from a

- Carry Forward
This script is to calculate:
1. Opening balance of the current quarter = closing balance of the previous quarter
2. For P&L items: The opening balance of the current quarter (where the current quarter is
Q2, Q3, or Q4) = closing balance of the previous quarter.
3. For P&L items: The opening balance of Q1 should be 0.
4. The system will not carry forward the closing balance of previous quarter
5. This includes all the balances except the temporary adjustments and the STAT accounts

19. Work Status Configuration
- Define who can change the data in the system:
o All - All users with the appropriate member access rights can change data
o Locked - No one can change the data
o Manager - Only managers (parents of owners) can change data
o Owner - Only owners can change data
- The areas of Planning and Consolidation for which you can control the level of
security are as follows:
o Data Manager ( DM) - Controls data input from running a Copy, Import, or
Move package
o Journal ( JRN) - Controls data input from posting journal entries
o Manual Entry ( MAN) - Controls data input manually
o Comments ( COM) - Controls data input from posting comments
(unstructured data)
o Documents ( DOCS) - Controls posting documents with model context to the
Document view (unstructured data)

20. Security
21. Ownership Manager
- In the Ownership Manager you define an ownership-based hierarchy entity
structure.
- The Ownership Manager allows you to create period-specific hierarchies of
corporate entities to use in statutory consolidation, or in cases where hierarchy
changes for an application need to be tracked by Category and Time.
 - When you set up a statutory model, the system tracks hierarchies for statutory
reporting. Statutory models have an upper-level static hierarchy associated with a
Group dimension.
- Ownership-based hierarchies are only available in consolidation type models.
- There are two scenarios where you should define ownership-based entity
hierarchies:
o If a child member is owned by more than one parent
o If the child is partially owned by a parent (not 100%)

22. Consolidation Engine

- Convert Currency
- Run Consolidation
23. Data Manager Package
- Copy & create new
- User Package/Admin Package
- .LGF file name in Package
24. Date Manager Package Link
25. Difference Between .LGF & .LGX
.LGF – File in which we write the logic
.LGX – Is created by the system after we validate & save the logic in .LGF file. It is an
executable file.
26. Routines
- Start Routine
- At the start of Transformation Level the start routine will run.
- It Triggers before Transformation.
- This is used in the calculations and it will store in the Global Data Structure or in
table.
- This Structure can used by other routine also.
- In this routine we can delete or change data in the source package.
- In start routine have all data in source package.
- All source fields are in this structure.
- Ex: Suppose we are having 4 weeks data in that my client wants to see only 4th week
data in that situation i have used Start Routine.
Generally used for filtering records.
- End Routine
- This End Routine Trigger after the Transformation
- This End Routine is mainly used for Look ups.
- This routine is use when post process data after transformation on a package by
package basis.
- In this the data is stored in result package.

31. Conversion File

• Conversion File: INTERCO_CONV.xls

• Conversion Time: CF_C_TIME.xls

 32. CREDITPOSITIVE/CREDITNEGATIVE
The CREDITNEGATIVE option reverses the signs for a given account. If this parameter is
set to NO, the option reverses the sign for all amounts referring to an ACCOUNT type
(LEQ, INC). By default, it is set to YES. This means that any account of type INC or LEQ
will be stored as negative in the cube and any account with type AST or EXP will be
stored as positive.
