This blog post describes the steps involved in the loading of
Finance transaction data which is in the form of a Flat file to a BPC 10.0 NW system.
Prerequisites:
Before the transaction data load we must create an environment with dimensions and models. Here are the dimensions used in the Finance Model:
Account Dimension:
Entity Dimension:
Category Dimension:
Time Dimension:
Intercompany Dimension:
Rptcurrency Dimension:
Data load steps:
1. Upload the data:
Log into BPC Excel Add-In to upload data file from the desktop to the BPC environment.
Select the Finance Model in the Connection Manager. If you don't see your Finance Model here, ensure that you have configured the Data Access Profiles in your Security.
A conversion file is used when there is a difference between the format of master data and transaction data. In our example the transaction data in stored as 2008.JAN while the master data is 2008.01.
A transformation file has 3 parts - Options, Mapping and Conversion
Select Account dimension in the row axis and Time dimension in the column axis to build a simple report.
