11. HPCM has currently 3 separate modules:
Standard Profitability (since Version 11.1.1.1)
Focuses on contribution analysis, following the flow of cost and revenue data through
multiple stages of the allocation process to determine where data is coming from, and where
it is being allocated to.
HPCM Modules
it is being allocated to.
Detailed Profitability (since Version 11.1.2.2)
Provides a single-step allocation of pools or rates from a single source to a destination for
the purpose of analyzing profitability. Used for highly granular hierarchies and data sets.
Management Ledger (since Version 11.1.2.4)
Designed for use by analysts who have deep domain experience in the computation and
reporting methods of management reporting, but who may not have much experience with
Essbase and scripting syntax or programming languages.

12. HPCM Modules comparison
Standard Profitability stands out as the
module that caters for highly complex
allocations models and offers the widest
range of reporting capabilities.
Detailed Profitability stands out as theDetailed Profitability stands out as the
“heavy-lifter” of the 3 modules, enabling
users to define simple allocation models
with a wide range of dimensions and
metadata granularity.
Management Ledger combines both the
metadata granularity as well as the logics
complexity enabling users to define
custom models without restricting or
limiting the level of detail required for
reporting.

18. Standard Profitability – Assignments & Rules
Rules can be defined as combinations of Level 0 and
Upper level members.
Direct assignments can be created only between Level0
Members on both Source and Target stages.
You can have unlimited number of rules/assignments.
Direct assignments and Assignment rules are defined per
stage using only Dimensions within that Stage
Rules be applied selectively based on Business
requirements.
Assignments and rules selections can differ by POV.
Users can define or modify rules and assignments in HPCM web.
Artifacts can be loaded in bulk through Import Profiles from the Staging Area and can be fully automated through
HPCM batch client.

19. Standard Profitability – Stage and Product Repository

the model that have not
been selected in any of
the allocation stages.
List of members that
received a cost or revenue

will reside in the repository.

will reside in the repository.
In order to enable the data transfer
between the Detailed Profitability
HPCM application and the Essbase
applications, an ODBC must be
created on the application server
and the DSN must be called
PROFITABILITY_DS. After creating
the ODBC it is advised to perform a
Profitability service restart.

38. Detailed Profitability – Stage and Product Repository
Views in Product RepositoryTables in Model data schema
Use the repository objects in order to find out available
POVs per application, applications in the system and their
type, determine POV ids, application preferences, driver
defined in each model, stage balancing report data,
hierarchies used etc.

39. Detailed Profitability – Stage Balancing
Total Input – Total Output– Idle + OverDriven = Unassigned Values
Sum of all monetary or balance data loaded to the source stage = Input
Sum of unassigned values + Idle - OverDriven = Input

41. HPCM vs Planning/Essbase
HPCM Planning/Essbase
Designed specifically for cost allocations and scenario
modelling.
Designed for use in the Budgeting and Forecasting processes.
Allocations are designed in a modelling environment; and
Calc Scripts/Allocation SQL scripts/MDX scripts are generated
automatically based on Stages/Maps/Rules defined.
Allocations can be done through the use of Calc Scripts/Business Rules which
must be developed and maintained manually, or via Calc Manager (Designer).
automatically based on Stages/Maps/Rules defined.
No Essbase/SQL/MDX knowledge required to maintain/
redesign allocations as these are built automatically by the
system.
Essbase knowledge required to maintain allocations(manually changing the
scripts or building them).
All allocation logic, intermediate steps and results are visible
through the web interface. (allocations, driver definition,
driver intersection, rules, rule sets and traceability)
Only the results of allocations are visible through the web interface. (there is no
out of the box traceability option available in Planning or Essbase).
Allocation validation immediately available (balancing
reports, traceability)
Allocation validation must be manually written. Audit must be custom.
Optimized for multi-step, multi-stage, highly granular,
reciprocal, simple and complex allocations.
Optimized for simpler, single or reduced step allocations & calculations.

66. Detailed Profitability - Setup
Model data schema is mandatory for Detailed Profitability applications
The product schema requires permissions on the Model data schema in
order for the model to run. If permissions have not been set or they are
not appropriate, you will not be able to select the Model data schema in
the Preference tab.
Permissions for Product schema:
CREATE TABLE
CREATE VIEW
CREATE ANY SYNONYM DROP
ANY SYNONYM.

67. Detailed Profitability – Driver selection
- The driver selection can be
made only on the Source Stage
- Default driver selection can be
made at the top node and will
be populated on all members
that do not have a specific
driver selected

68. Detailed Profitability – Assignment Rule selection

69. Detailed Profitability – Calculation Rules
Pre and post custom calculation scripts can be
set-up but. These must be written directly to the
HPM_SQL_SCRIPT table by a user with DBA
rights on the Product schema in the SCRIPT
column.
Setting up custom scripts requires knowledge of
SQL syntax as well as familiarity with the Detailed
profitability business model.
update my_table set my_column =5
/
update your_table set your_column =6
/
begin execute my_proc end
/

70. Detailed Profitability – Manage Calculation
Running the Model Calculation creates two views for
use within Reports, which you can use to
create custom reports:
HPMD_DEMO_STAGE_BALANCE_V—Contains the
stage balance information viewed within the Stagestage balance information viewed within the Stage
Balance Report.
HPMD_DEMO_LEVEL_0_CONTRIB_V—Contains
the contribution information for each source and
destination combination at Level0.
