The flow of the data starts with Actuals feed from SAP FDW on a monthly basis into the Detail application
databases and the Main1 database of the CONSMAIN application. Once Actuals are loaded and calculated
the Actuals are feed into each of the regional applications via an Essbase data partition definition. The
regional applications are where the users go to enter their plans and forecasts via the web. Actuals get
loaded to the Main1 database for each of these applications for their appropriate intersection of data.

Once the users develop their plans and forecasts in these applications the data goes back to the
CONSMAIN application’s Main2 database from each of the regional applications’ Main2 database. This data
movement is also handled via Essbase data partitions.

There are around 250 users, who use this application to look into the Actuals and enter their plan and
forecasts’ updates online into this application through data/web forms and Excel. Then those data gets
consolidated in the CONSMAIN application.
