FDMEE Overview
Financial Data Quality Differentiated

Financial Data Quality Management (FDM) is a business
issue, and is defined as the practice by which companies can
effectively and consistently combine the following factors:
Financial data collection and transformation
Repeatable financial processes
Internal controls
Audit trails with dynamic drill through
Write-back capability
FDM helps finance users increase their confidence in the numbers and lowers their cost of compliance by eliminating data integrity
risks associated with collecting, mapping, validating, and moving critical financial data from across the enterprise.
Significant Business Challenges
Disparate Source Systems
Inconsistent account structure
Errors in financial data & metadata collection
Financial restatements
No audit trails back to the ERP/GL/Source data
Weak controls around data & meta data collection
Lack of visibility and transparent processes
Issues in synchronizing data between EPM and ERP
Oracle EPM System Delivers Confidence with FDM

Audit Trails
Integrate Controls questions
Store current and historical
mapping definitions, docs
Allow dynamic drill through
to source ERP and files
Repeatable Processes
Single standard and
defined solution for any
target application
Standard upward data
certification process
Standardized database
schema
Data Collection and Transformation

Read and interpret GL trial balance
files and ERP
Mapping validation against
Target dimensions
Data & Metadata integrity checking
against data validation rules

FDM Benefits
Confidence in the numbers FDM provides robust audit trails
from source systems to target and back, with robust validation
capabilities, providing transparency into the numbers
Decrease cost of compliance FDM with its internal control
checks over the process ensure adherence to company policies
and procedures, enhancing controls while lowering costs
Speed and agility Improve the EPM cycle by days with a
Finance owned and maintained application that is quick to
implement and supports a simple, easy to follow, repeatable
process

Data Load Options for Essbase/Planning

Two methods to load data
to Essbase
File FDMEE will create a file
in loaded directly by Essbase.
SQL In-Memory loading of
data to Essbase
Default is SQL
For example The current
Essbase SQL driver does

not support an encrypted
database, and the file
method is required
33
Prefix Duplicate Dimension Members

Dimension name added to
member name during

export ([dim]@[member])
Added for all dimensions
Only use this option if
members are duplicated

across dimensions
If duplicates within a
dimension, then this option

is not applicable and
should be set to No

files only. Header not

required.
The expression field in the

FDMEE Best Practices
41
Best Practices All Application Types
Define efficient mapping rules

Use fewest necessary
Define with an eye towards maintenance
Use workbench to find mapping errors before loading

Options for Valid, Invalid, Ignored and All data
Ensure all rows are mapped
Use Incremental load when available

EBS and Fusion sources only
Set log level to 5 to debug issues

Process log available from FDMEE UI
Also search for ERPIntegrator0.log on FDMEE server
42
Best Practices Other Application Types
Financial Management
Use intersection validation report as
needed
Identifies invalid cells on target
Resource intensive be careful
with large data sets

Will stop partial loads if target
metadata missing
Planning
Include currency dimension in import
format
Invalid cells will show in FDMEE log
as Essbase errors
43
Account Reconciliation Manager

All data is loaded to ARM mapped or
unmapped
Limit the number of unmapped sources
Use IGNORE rule type as needed
Analyze data in workbench before
loading to ARM
Concatenate source fields for easy mapping
to profile dimension
Use new #FORMAT Mask feature as
needed
Mapping only required for Profile and Source
Type dimensions
44
Profitability and Cost

Management
Load BSO cube within the model
Explicit support in 11.1.2.4
Duplicate members used across
dimensions
Handle via mapping or with Prefix
Dimension for Duplicate Members

option
Use @ to append dimension name
to member
Use . between members to define
full path
