Workforce Planning in Planning and Budgeting Cloud Servie

Hi Experts,
Does Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud Service (PBCS) have Pre-build modules Workforce Planning, Capital Asset Planning and Project Finance Planning.
According to my understanding PBCS doesn't have any pre-build modules. I am not sure whether recently it has been added or not, so I wanted to double check.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards
SKH

PBCS still does not offer other planning modules like Workforce plnning/Capex etc.
you can see more info at https://docs.oracle.com/cloud/latest/pbcs_common/CSPGS/apes02.html

Error Regarding Data loading in Planning and budgeting cloud service.

Hi ,
I was able to load data in planning and budgeting cloud service before 1 month.
I loaded via Administration -> Import and Export -> Import data from File.
Today i loaded the same file to the cloud instance for the same entity that i loaded after clearing the existing data.
I am getting error while validating itself as
\\Unrecognized column header value(s) were specified for the "Account" dimension: "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec", "Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Point-of-View", "Data Load Cube Name". (Check delimiter settings, also, column header values are case sensitive.)
I checked the source file. Everything is correct. I actually loaded the same file before and i was able to load.
Does anyone know the problem behind. Can anyone give me suggestion please
Thanks in Advance
Pragadeesh.J

Thanks for your response John.
I had Period and Year dimension in Columns
I changed the layout of year dimension in period to POV and loaded the data file. I was able to load without any errors.
I changed the layout again to the original form as before and loaded. I didn't get any errors again.
It worked somehow.
Thank you
Cheers John

Hi, my current plans and products include Creative Cloud Photography plan (one-year) and Creative Cloud single-app membership for Photoshop (one-year), I only use photoshop occasionally and for very basic things, are these two plans required for basic photoshop use or am I able to go with one or the other ?

PS is part of the photography plan, so your single app plan is redundant.

Planning Sales Target and Budget

Hi Gurus,
Our client is Planning to do Account and Contact Management.How can we plan Oveall Sales Target and budget in BI, What settings have to be done?
many thanks,
Muralidhar Prasad chatna

Hi
thisis theprocess or budget/account planning in crm according to Accounts andContact Management.
1.      Plan overall sales target and budget (BI system)
It is possible for company headquarters to set sales targets at product-brand level, and then to distribute these targets top-down.
This must be set up separately in the BI system.
2.      System receives sales targets (CRM Server)
3.      Plan sales figures and promotions by account (CRM Server)
Planning is driven from past sales as well as from target information. Account planning enables you to do total sales forecasting, and includes discount and rebate planning. In addition, trade promotions that are related to the account plan are displayed.
4.      System receives plan data (BI system)
Account Planner sends planning data to the BI system. The data is therefore available for reporting, and for integration with other planning applications.
5.      System generates pricing conditions (CRM Server)
The system generates pricing conditions from the discounts or rebates that you enter in the account plan.
6.      System receives pricing conditions (SAP ECC)
Account Planner sends pricing conditions to SAP ERP Central Component (SAP ECC). When a customer orders a product, the system includes the discounts agreed in the account plan in the sales order.
Hope it helps

Questions on Enterprise Planning and Budgeting

Hi,
First of all: this may be a very wrong place for posting these questions. However, I could not find a forum that seemed closer to the matter so I try it anyway.
With EPB close to hitting the streets, some questions starting popping up - especially now that Oracle has recommended one of my customers - who is just starting out with Business Intelligence and are not E-Business Suite users - to embark on the EPB course.
It is stated by Oracle that EPB - although it is an integrated component of the Oracle EBusiness Suite â can be used as stand-alone product. You can load data into interface tables. Questions:
Does EPB work on its own Data Warehouse and if so, is this DWH also available to other OLAP tools for Analysis? Or should organizations doing Analysis and Reporting apart from EPB have a separate DWH for those OLAP queries?
Does Oracle recommend loading data directly from operational sources into the FEM Interface Tables or does Oracle think it best for non-EBusiness Suite customers to set up a Data Warehouse independently of EPB and in a later stage implement processes to extract data from that DWH into the FEM Interface. Are the FEM Interfaces tables at the operational (fact) level or do they already have some sort of consolidation in them?
Can Oracle somehow convince us that while EPB does not provide hooks for customization it will offer reports desired by non-EBusiness Suite customers with potentially very varied businesses? How much of EPB benefits are you missing out on if you do not have the E-Business Suite? What is EPB then giving you that with OWB and BI Beans/Discoverer you can not easily build yourself?
The specific case of my customer: they have clear requirements for Management Information. Most of these are about analyzing histrical data (the classic slicing and dicing); forecasting and budgeting would be a nice to have in the longer run. They currently do not have a proper Data Warehouse. They have a consolidation point for some operational data. No dimensions have been defined, no data cleansing is performed and some data is not available at all. I am wondering whether EPB would be the proper tool for them to start with. Given their requirements as well as their lack of current experience with BI as well as the relative uncertain situation with regard to the data sources, I would feel more comfortable with a more down-to-earth approach: start designing a DWH and the processes to populate it as well as developing the most urgently needed reports. In that case, EPB would be brought in at a later stage â when the organization as well as the data management is ready for more advanced stuff.
Is there anyone, especially from Oracle, who would care to comment? Also on my feeling that Oracleâs recommendation to use EPB is perhaps somewhat influenced by Oracleâs desire to build up references and experience with this brand new tool â that, as I understand it, is not even generally available â only a âcontroller releaseâ is available right now.
Thanks for anyone for your insights.
best regards,
Lucas

Please note these are not official Oracle or my employers answers, just my interpretation. Hope this might help though.
"Does EPB work on its own Data Warehouse and if so, is this DWH also available to other OLAP tools for Analysis? Or should organizations doing Analysis and Reporting apart from EPB have a separate DWH for those OLAP queries?"
EPB has it's own EPF schema, which it shares with Oracle's other CPM applications, but it's not a traditional warehouse schema arranged as a star schema, you're not supposed to load data directly into it, and it's really designed for storing data that needs to be loaded into AWs for analysis. You'll therefore still need to build your own warehouse schema, and then load data (through the interface tables) into the EPF schema for use with EPB.
"Does Oracle recommend loading data directly from operational sources into the FEM Interface Tables or does Oracle think it best for non-EBusiness Suite customers to set up a Data Warehouse independently of EPB and in a later stage implement processes to extract data from that DWH into the FEM Interface. Are the FEM Interfaces tables at the operational (fact) level or do they already have some sort of consolidation in them?"
It depends. Data can be loaded directly into the EPF (new name for FEM) schema, but you'll probably want to cleanse and transform it first, most probably in a data warehouse. The data that goes into the EPF schema is at transaction level, and EPB will perform any aggregations as it loads data into it's AW. Of course data in the form of balances - that goes into the EPF balances table - will be to an extent already summarised (or at least snapshotted) but the twenty user data tables are just regular fact tables, with the granularity set to whatever you require.
"Can Oracle somehow convince us that while EPB does not provide hooks for customization it will offer reports desired by non-EBusiness Suite customers with potentially very varied businesses? How much of EPB benefits are you missing out on if you do not have the E-Business Suite? What is EPB then giving you that with OWB and BI Beans/Discoverer you can not easily build yourself?"
Too early to see really, especially as no-one apart from Oracle has done an EPB implementation yet. With regard to the question about what EPB gives you that OWB and BI Beans don't already give you, I think the relevant bit is "you cannot easily build yourself". EPB is an application, not a toolset, and it'll appeal to those people that want to buy a supported planning and budgeting application from Oracle, that integrates with e-Business Suite and doesn't require them to build everything from the ground upwards. With OFA and OSA you could have course build a similar application yourself, using Visual Basic or Express Objects and Express Server, but for most people buying it from Oracle was a more sensible solution.
"The specific case of my customer: they have clear requirements for Management Information. Most of these are about analyzing historical data (the classic slicing and dicing); forecasting and budgeting would be a nice to have in the longer run.

Yes, I'd agree with this approach. EPB isn't the place to start integrating and consolidating data, and the EPF schema isn't where you'd want to store your complete data warehouse. You could of course, using the twenty data tables and the user defined dimension tables, but you'd pretty much be limited to querying via EPB (the schema isn't really suitable for querying directly using tools such as Discoverer) and the AW that EPB creates wouldn't be suitable/supported/documented for use by regular OLAP API tools such as Drake or the BI Beans. If it was down to me, I'd build the warehouse as normal, using OWB or any other ETL tool, create my dimensional model as normal, then take selected data out and put it in the EPF schema, and then carry out my planning & budgeting using EPB. I'd then still run Discoverer / Discoverer "Drake", or BI Beans or any other ad-hoc query tool against my warehouse schema for the warehouse "power users", and use EPB as the application for my finance and planning department,

Report Internal Order needed - showing Plan and Budget Values?

Hello,
I want to create a report (Report Writer/Painter) which shows for example in one column the planned values and in another column the budget value of an order group.
I know the standard reports S_ALR_87012993 - Orders: Actual/Plan/Variance and the other standard report S_ALR_87013019 - List: Budget/Actual/Commitments.
My question: Is it possible at all to have these both values plan and budget by order/order group in one report? - Or it is not possbile because these values are stored in different tables and different libraries?
If it is possible with Report Writer, I would be very glad - if not, is there any other chance (e.g. individual programmed report)?
For any comments or hints thank you in advance.
Regards,
VCG

HI,
both are report painter reports for libraries 6O1 and 6O2 which are based on reporting tables CCSS and RWCOOM.
Try to find all value fields that you need in 6O2 / RWCOOM as this is the "big brother" of 6O1/ CCSS.
Best regards, Christian

This has nothing to do with your pictures. As long as LR works, nothing happens. The CC app merely has lost an entry in the installer database. Would a reinstall fix it? Sure. Is it necessary? Not really (until the next version or update). So unless you have too much time to spend or something isn't working, I'm sure you can find more interesting things to do with your tiem. Otherwise use the cleaner tool and get to it:

Enterprise Planning and Budgeting

Dear All
Does the Module enterprise planning and budgeting provides controlling functionality similar to encumbrance accounting in GL, or any other control functionality on transactions like Requisition/PO/Invoice Item Wise...?

Oracle Hyperion Planning, including PBCS, does not include built in functionality for pre-expenditures (a.k.a. encumbrances) or most other accounting controls you would find in PeopleSoft / Fusion Financials. However, you can build this type of functionality into your Planning application.
For example, you could use the Version dimension in Planning (or create a seperate dimension for this purpose) to contain children members which would hold multiple entry types:
Version
     + Approved
     + Encumbrances
     + Adjustments
Version would equal Approved + Encumbrances + Adjustments. Then you could create a Business Rule to do the following: 1) Approved = Approved + Encumbrances 2) Clear Encumbrances. You could build the security in Planning to control who can input into "Approved" and who can run the Business Rule. You could even use the Hyperion Planning workflow capabilities to incorporate work-flow controls into this process.
Hyperion Planning, and PBCS, provides the flexibility to build most financial processes and controls, but it is certainly not out-of-the-box functionality.
Hope this helps.

When to prefer Financial Plan Vs Form base budgets? Adv and Dis-advantage?

Hello Experts,
Can any one explain me the difference between Oracle projects financial plan vs oracle projects form based budgets?
What is advantages of each of them and when to provide preference over each other?
is it possible to use both of them simltaneously?
Does forecasting functionality available in both of them?
Need insight on this
Thanks
will Really appreciate ur response.
Thanks

Hi
Form based budgets are the only supported budgets for Budgetary Control and integration of project budget with GL budget.
If you are not using those functions, there is no advantage for the form based budget.
With financial plan you can load budgets using Web ADI.
You can use more robust resource lists.
You can use multi currency amounts
You can generate budgets and forecasts based on various sources like workplans, actuals, commitments and any customized logic using client extension.
You can report on financial plans using the HTML project performance reporting.
You can rollup budgets and forecasts amounts on a program.
Summarizations are done immediately and you don't need to run a batch process.

Planning and Budgeting application

Hi Folks,
I new to Hyperion and currently i am learning. If i say end to end implementation of Hyperion Planning and Budgeting application....what does that exactly mean in real time of perspective? I have sales database so please explain me keeping sales database in your mind.
Edited by: user11145584 on Apr 14, 2010 5:51 AM

Sorry, I misunderstood the below:
what does that exactly mean in real time of perspective^^^ I thought you meant "How long does it take?"
I don't think a Planning implementation is any different than any other IT project:
1) Requirements gathering
2) Tool selection
3) Development environment install (concurrent with 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8) Install prod whenever 3 works
4) Design sessions
5) Design docs
6) Prototypes
7) Metadata and data sourcing
8) Repeat of 4 thorugh 7 as required
9) Sign-off
10) Build in prod
11) UATs/Assembly Test/whatever test
12) Happy shiny day -- lo, the project is complete
Lots of other steps but again, is the above any different than anything else? Just specialized skills (business, tool(s)) on the analysis and implementation side.
As to that:
Essbase
Some hint about the way a Chart of Accounts works
Data sourcing
Metadata sourcing
Planning "quirks" knowledge
Hopefully others will chime in, but I've given you at least a straw man view of it.

hi, guy
to achieve this, you need to implement the BPS in BW, and make the BPS and CRM integration.
In standard, CRM Marketing is integrated with BPS, you can login the CRM and open the BPS windows in Marketing object screen, fill your cost plan or trade plan or sale plan.
For WBS elment, you need to activate the configuration in PS mode and middleware between CRM and ERP.
If you don't need to use PS, maybe you can use Claim in CRM to manage the expense and cost in campaign.
