Differences between Hyperion consolidation and Oracle Financials Consolidat

I'm looking for a document- recommendations etc. explaining why using Hyperion Consolidations versus Oracle Financials Consolidation ?
Thanks
Marcel

Genie,
I agree that a case is made on how well these two ERPs solve the day to day tasks before a company chooses one of these two. But my question is aimed at finance to begin with. You are going to need a general ledger for any company or government regardless of ERP. And how well you can drive the ledger to map your business is the key here.
The way ledger is built is around a business area ,company or country and is very tighly designed in SAP. I would like to know if there is any equivalent of the configuration items in ORACLE. I am more interested in terminology of ORACLE.
For example ,
<u><b><u><b>SAP ====> ORACLE</b></u>
<u><b>GL ==> Book In ORACLE</b></u>
<b><u>Document Number ===> Invoice Number</u></b>
<b><u>Posting Period in SAP ==> Posting period In ORACLE</b></u></u></b>
Most of the terms are finance terms , so they are common ( eg. an account number is an account number in ORACLE and SAP ) between two systems. I am interested in any specific thing that is available in ORACLE but not in SAP and  vice verse.
thanks for the link you have provided.
Its very useful.

  • What is the basic difference between Hyperion Planning and HFM

    Hi GURU'S,
    what is the basic difference between Hyperion Planning and HFM and when do we choose them.

    On a high level the difference is this:
    1. HFM is best for global collection (collecting data from scattered entities), group consolidation and for easily structuring financial reporting (mainly consisting of financial data)
    2. Planning is best for modeling your business, starting from a demand forecast and arriving to capacity planning and finally to financial statements, by utilizing business drivers (non-financial data like volumes, prices, productivity rates etc)
    Of course, differences may be analyzed at several levels down to technical, but the discussion may turn out to be too long, yet adding little value to the question: "when do we choose the one over the other". Bear in mind that your requirements may turn out that you need both.

  • What is major difference between hyperion planning and hyperion essbase

    hi
    what is the differences between hyperion planning and hyperion essbase.i dont know about planning much.but as far i know.i think we can do every thing in essbase also(planning,budgeting and forecasting)
    what u say.what we actually do in planning.
    regards
    bharat

    Hi Bharat
    Although as you mention in your post Essbase can do plans/budgets etc it may not be simple to provide complex planning process control and ease of data entry etc.
    Planning delivers these benefits and some through web delivered components such as forms, business rules and workflow for instance. There are some restrictions to using planning and these need tobe well understood before embarking on a project.
    It would be worth having a look at product sheets from Oracle and/or presentations from various events to get a feel for planning capabilities.
    Hope this helps.

  • What is Difference between ANSI SQL and ORACLE SQL

    Hi,
    I am going to take the assesment test for ANSI SQL Programming before that i want to know any difference between ANSI SQL and ORACLE SQL?
    I am studying for SQL but the test will be ANSI SQL please let me give an idea about the both.
    Thanks
    Merina Roslin

    Basically there is syntax difference between both of them.
    Lets say i want to join two table EMP and DEPT based on DEPTNO.
    With Oracle SQL format its like this.
    select e.*
      from emp e, dept d
    where e.deptno = d.deptnoHere the joining condition goes in the WHERE clause.
    With ANSI SQL format its like this.
    select e.*
      from emp e
      join dept d
        on e.deptno = d.deptnoHere the join condition is mentioned separately and not in WHERE clause.
    Oracle supports ANSI SQL starting from 9i version.

  • Differences between ANSI SQL and Oracle 8/9

    Hallo,
    i'm looking for good online texts or books concerning the problem "Differences between ANSI SQL and different database implementations (ORACLE, Informix, MySQL...)" I want to check a program written in C (with ESQL) that works with an Informix-DB. In this code i want to find code that is specific to the Informix-DB. I want to change the database, so all the code should be independent from a DB. Does anybody know texts or books concerning this problem?

  • Difference Between Legal Consolidation and Management Consolidation

    Dear Experts,
    Kindly help me to know
    1) To Differenciate between Legal Consolidation and Management Consolidation Theoritically?
    2) To Differenciate between Legal Consolidation and Management Consolidation Technically in BPC?
    3) What is impact on /Difference on Business Process Flow in BPC in case of Legal Consolidation or Management Consolidation? (What should be done in Management COnsolidation and Legal COnsolidation in BPF in BPC)
    Thanks in Advance
    Ritesh

    True accounting/legal consolidations encompasses the three following elements:
    1.  the general ledgers of the entities
    2. elimination entries between entities (inter entity transactions such as sales/cost of sales, a/r and a/p etc.)
    3. adjustments for partially owned entities
    Using the legal app, rate and ownership apps, and the proper configuration, outlooksoft achieves a legal/accounting  consolidation.  Accounting consolidations also link to a legal hierarchy of entities.
    Any consolidation that is referred to as management or financial consolidation etc. can have differing connotations.   In Outooksoft  software,  management consolidations does not include item 3.
    However, when the terms are used by the client they can have different meanings.  They could mean either :
    A true legal consolidation BUT tied to the  Management hierarchy of entities (as  opposed to a legal hierarchy) OR An aggregation without item 3 above and tied to the Management hierarchy of entities.
    9 times out of 10, clients usually want the first  rather than the second alternative.  Financial statements
    rolled up using legal consol should equal that using management consol.
    However, when clients do planning, they may have their entities plan as if they were fully owned. They could also have their entities provide actals for less than 100% in the case of partially owned entities.   In these cases, you have to adjust appropriately.
    From an Outlooksoft config point of view, you need the legal, rate and ownership app and the related configuration for a legal consolidation.  Management consol depends on client definition and client practice in the data that they collect from the entities.
    In the area of BPFs, the key difference between legal and management COULD be the steps (1-3) and the maintenance of the different hierarchies and ownership values.
    Hope the above helps.

  • Difference between Hyperion Enterprise and HFM

    Hello,
    Can anyone tell me the difference between the mentioned products? I know both of them are used for Financial Consolidation. Just looking to understand if our company should stick with HE or move to HFM.
    Thanks.

    HFM is the next generation Consolidation product. It was built from the ground up with the latest technology to remedy some of the issues that faced Enterprise like scalability, centralised deployment via the web, and reporting improvements.
    It is a completely different product to Enterprise in that it uses the dimensionality concepts of OLAP to enable a much lower level analysis. There are 12 dimensions to the product. 8 of these are fixed like Account, Entity, Year, etc while the remaining 4 are customisable based on the requirements. These custom dimensions essentially replace the Sub Accounts used in Enterprise and enable a far greater level of detail to be captured within a smaller Chart.
    The decision the migrate to HFM would need to be made based on key pain points you are feeling with your current Enterprise application. What are some of the issues you are facing at the moment?

  • Differences between BEA's and Oracle's own drivers

    I am trying to understand the various ways and technical differences to
    connect to an Oracle database from WLS 6.1. As far as I can tell, here
    is the list of drivers:
    THIN:
    1. the bundled, old Oracle thin driver in weblogic.jar
    2. the latest Oracle thin driver to prepend to my classpath
    OCI:
    3. the bundled, old Oracle OCI driver in weblogic.jar
    (+ matching Oracle DLL in PATH)
    4. the latest Oracle OCI driver to prepend to my classpath
    (+ latest Oracle DLL in PATH)
    5. Weblogic's own OCI driver in weblogic.jar
    (+ WebLogic's own DLL in PATH)
    I understand that (1) and (3) are 'obsolete'. But what about the others?
    Especially, what are the advantages of (5) over (4) or (2) ?
    Can Joe^H^H^H anybody share some light on this? ;-)
    Thanks,
    Christophe

    Hi Christophe!
    Basically, weblogic bundles 817 thin driver from oracle in 6.1
    For using oracle oci driver, you have to add ocijdbc8.dll in your path.
    Weblogic has its own set of jDrivers(OCI Drivers)
    You need to install oracle client for that. You should use the same driver
    as your client install from weblogic. As per say, if you have 817 oracle
    client installed then you can use weblogic 817 driver. It is OCI driver,
    hence ultimately all calls are diverted to oracle DB thorugh their oracle
    oci API from weblogic driver.
    If you use lots of oracle extensions in your application it is recommended
    to use oracle thin driver.
    However, weblogic jDrivers perform better and more XA compliant then oracle
    thin driver.
    Thanks,
    Mitesh

  • What are the main differences between 9 iAS and Oracle 8.1.7 ?

    My question is focus on JServ/JVM/EJB Deployment.
    1. They both provide Appach JServ to support JSP/Servlet application
    2. They both provide JVM 8i to support EJB 1.1.
    3. You can deploy JSP/Servlet application to JVM via mod_ose.
    4. On the White paper about 9 iAS, it says you can deploy applications into JDK JVM or Oracle 8i JVM, does that also apply to EJB? If so, how can you do it (with JDev 3.2 not some other command line tool?), it that one of the different between two products?
    5. Since 8.1.7, application server and database server were built into a package, why on 9i to separate them into two (or three) parts again? - what is the benefit for customers?
    Thanks

    Aside from the above, I think 9i IAS also contain other products such as Form server, Portal software, Icache and many extras.

    With JDev 3.2, one can program and deploy applications to 9i IAS.

  • Difference between BI beans and Oracle Discoverer

    My understanding is that
    BI beans and Discoverer are used for displaying data in tables, crosstab reports and graphs, Discoverer is meant for end users and BI beans is meant for use within a Java application.
    Please let me know if my understanding is correct.

    Hi
    You are quite right.
    If put in simple language Disc. Reports are just the outcomes of the Repotiing Tool and BIBeans is just a
    component that can be used through Jdeveloper that
    allows us to create various reports on the OLAP database objects.
    Happy Working.
