Question

Guys, any person has some non-super techie or non-super EBS export answer to my following question:
What is the "Lowest Grain of Financials Analytics vs. Data in EBS?"
For a vanilla install, what lowest level of AP, AR, GL types of information that we carry in EBS that will not be available in BI Apps Fin Analytics.
I know there are 200 different settings but to keep the conversation simple, pleas share your thoughts.
This is something that comes up quite often and i have not found a simple answer to this question.

Answer 1

the simple answer is to look at what is called the INTEGRATION_ID column of the specific Fact or Dimension table. As needed, you can reference the OBIA DMR (Data Model Reference). What this shows is a unique combination of attributes (usually from the source system) that identify each row. Based on this, you can determine the vanilla granularity.
The DMR sometimes also lists the grain definition directly. Here is an example:
W_PAY_TYPE_D --> "The grain of this table is at a single lowest 'Pay Type' level. For example if 'Tax' is a
type of pay being considered, then the lowest level of this (like Federal Income Tax,
State Tax etc) forms the grain of the table"
W_PAYROLL_F --> "The grain of this table is typically at an Employee - Pay type - Pay Period Start Date
- Pay Period End Date level. For a given employee and pay period, each record in this
table stores the amount associated with that pay type (line item)"
If this helps, please mark as correct or helpful.
