Can HPCM calculate percentages to use in allocations as well as perform the allocations

Hi All
I have a client that is evaluating which products to purchase from the Oracle stack.  Unfortunately I don't know HPCM yet so I'm not sure of its capabilities.  I think they will definitely go with Hyperion Planning but they do some relatively simple allocations and I cannot decide whether or not they need HPCM.  They currently have a relational / access database that is used to calculate percentages to be used to allocate costs from back office to front office.  Whether they need to purchase HPCM seems to depend upon whether HPCM can calculate the percentages required for the allocation as well as perform the allocations.  The options as I see it are:
1.  Replace legacy system with HPCM and use HPCM to calculate percentage and apply percentages to allocate costs
2.  Keep legacy system for calculating percentages, upload percentages to HPCM and use HPCM to allocate costs
3.  Keep legacy system for calculating percentages, upload percentages to Essbase and use Essbase to allocate costs
4.  Keep legacy system for calculating percentages and allocating costs (not ideal as will require additional system interfaces of data from and to Hyperion Planning)
I know HPCM uses Essbase, when I say Essbase above I mean Hyperion Planning.  I have advised the client that they ought to avoid option 4 but I am not clear enough on what HPCM can do to advise them on which of the other options is most suitable / cost effective.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Stu

Hi Stu,
the plain answer is Yes, HPCM can do such a simple task. In my private opinion, it would be a bit oversized.
I want to add an option and put my vote on this:
0.  Pull in a DB connection the required data into Planning and use Planning to calculate percentage and apply percentages to allocate costs.

    Hi lawalton,
    Please tell me a bit more--what happens when you try to open your files in Reader? Are you getting an error message? Do they open, but don't display correctly?
    I look forward to hearing back from you so we can get this mystery sorted out.

  • Can my photoshop subscription be used on more than one laptop at the same address

    You can install on two computers for your own personal use; but not for use at the same time, and not for sharing with colleagues or family.

  • Can Illustrator calculate percentages for a pie chart?

    Or do I have to go to Excel (which I can barely use) and enter the numbers there to get my percentages? Thanks.

    ?  What gives you the impression that we're wasting time?

    Please excuse the assumption that you do not know your way around the web... but you did miss the Illustrator forum down the hall and to the right.
    Perhaps if you described the origin of your pie chart and how you are intending to enter numbers in Excel, we might have a better clue as to what you expect. This discussion could be continued in the Illustrator forum.

  • How can I uncheck "Enable disk use" in iTunes for my iPod? The option is grayed out, and permanently checked.

    When I plug in my iPod Nano (6th generation) and launch iTunes, the device appears in the sidebar as normal, but the option to check or uncheck "Enable Disk use" in the Summary pane for the iPod is grayed out. Currently, the box is checked, so "Enable disk use " is turned on -- but what I want to do is UNcheck it and turn it off.
    But nothing I've tried so far has successfully ungrayed the "Enable disk use" box. Help!
    Question: How can I ungrey the "Enable disk use" option in my iPod's Summary panel in iTunes, allowing me to uncheck it?
    Alternately, is there any other way to turn off "Enable disk use," using some esoteric workaround? Thanks!

    Set it to sync automatically. Disabling that option isn't possible for an iPod set to sync manually, as it shows up as a disk as part of the sync process, and iTunes has no way of knowing when you're done syncing an iPod set to do so manually.

  • Can I install snow leopard, using my original disk that came with the computer, on my mac that has mavericks as its OS?

    I recently had a new hard drive installed in my macbook pro (2009 model). Previously I was running snow leopard and refused to upgrade as I knew it would cause my pro tools to become incompatible, however when I received my knew, hard drive due to my old one becoming corrupt, the apple techs had installed lion as the OS, I updated to mavericks on the off chance the incompatibility was just with Lion. However I my Snow leopard disk is also incompatible with the new OS, I would like to know if there is any way to install snow leopard onto my mac while it is using mavericks?

    Restart the computer with the disk in the drive and the C key held down and install Snow Leopard onto a blank partition or drive. If needed, use the Disk Utility to repartition or erase the internal one.

  • I have a company Ipad that belonged to a deceased employee. no access to his icloud or appleID. how can I restore it for use with a new apple ID

    I have a company Ipad that belonged to a deceased employee. no access to his icloud or appleID. how can I restore it for use with a new apple ID?
    The apple ID was his personal account and can no longer gain access. Im sure I can get purchase recipts from the accounting department if needed. I tried to put the Ipad in restore mode and used itunes to "recover" the ipad but it still wont let me in because he registered the device with the "lost iphone" feature or whatever that is.

    Activation Lock in iOS 7  >  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
    The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required
    If you do not have that information you will not be able to use the Device.

  • HT5035 Can you select whether to use a gift card or your credit card when purchasing

    I have iTunes gift cards but don't always want to redeem them. Sometimes I want to use my credit card.  Do you have to automatically redeem the gift cards or can you select credit even if your gift card has a balance?

    You can't choose which to use to pay for your order. The default order of payment is free credits first, if you have some, then store credits then credit card. I'm not sure how to explain this but this is what I know. You can contact support if you want for more info.

  • Can't down load mail using mail app

    Can't down load mail using mail app OS, I already delete the com.apple.mail.plist but didn't work, it can connect to the server and in the progress bar, it appear: incoming messages ex. 39 of 39 but 0kb of transmission. And if I go to the Account info window, I can see the messages on the server, as well as the subject, date received, and the size of them. So, the mail, does connect to the server and see the new mail, but just doesn't download them. I also tried delete the mailbox and create a new one, but the same result.

    Any clue to fix it.

    Can anyone recommend easy to use, cheap, storyboarding software. Thanks.

    Actually, the software I've seen that does this is pretty cumbersome, and since we require a storyboard at the school I teach a class or two at, the students I teach have tried many... they still end up drawing them; they say it's a lot easier.
    However http://www.storyboardartist.com/artist.html seems to be the most popular. http://www.atomiclearning.com/storyboardpro has a freebie... if you type Storyboard Software in google... ya get a pile of them. might look for some demos?

    It's better to post the URL of the feed (as you have subsequently done) than the contents of the feed .
    From the FeedValidator report the feed is basically OK for iTunes. There are several occasions where 'content:encoded' sections (following immediately on 'guid' tags) should be enclosed in
    <description>...</description>
    tags: however all this will be ignored by iTunes anyway and only applies to other readers. The 'potentially dangerous content' referred to by FeedValidator is within the 'content:encoded' tags and so isn't relevant to iTunes. They are referring to an inline css style, and I don't know whether this might cause a problem elsewhere.
    You should really have a language tag, e.g.
    <language>en-us</language>
    (you have a dc:language tag but that's for a different system). This should be placed in the top section, before the first 'item' tag.
    It's advisable to have an 'itunes:explicit' tag for each 'item' -
    <itunes:explicit>yes IF CONTAINS ADULT MATERIAL, OTHERWISE no</itunes:explicit>
    it's not compulsory if you have no adult material, but you must have a 'yes' if you do.
    You can check your feed by subscribing in iTunes from the 'Advanced' menu - this has the same result as clicking the 'Subscribe' button on the Store page. If it works OK there you are ready to submit it.
