Profitability is a major indicator of business performance. Unfortunately, the typical financial system manages expenses and revenues from different perspectives. As a result, finance teams often rely on large, complex allocation models (sometimes “black box” systems) to provide management with the strategic P&Ls by geographical area, business unit, product, segment, and more—all in an attempt to pivot from “what it is,” to “what it’s for.” Regardless of industry, company size, or function, more strategic insight into underlying cost structures and their impact on profitability is necessary.
Oracle Hyperion Profitability and Cost Management Cloud Service (PCMCS) is a performance management application that introduces a world of possibilities for organizations to enhance financial data generated through their general ledgers and EPM systems into meaningful, accurate, and consumable information. Unlike traditional profitability systems, which require a large investment in both infrastructure and related technical overhead, PCMCS allows business users to easily create and manage their profitability systems with unparalleled speed and efficiency, supporting numerous use cases in both the financial close and management reporting domains, including IT financial management, operational transfer pricing, expense allocations, fully allocated P&L, strategic P&Ls, and operational profitability.
Attend this session to learn how PCMCS is an effective solution with benefits for every industry—one that empowers business users to gain insight into hidden profit and cost across key business dimensions. The presentation provides an overview of business needs using a perspective around corporate and shared service allocations. You’ll also gain insight into the PCMCS solution capabilities and functionality, including a comparison to other EPM tools, and we’ll share specific use cases.

Changes in financial reporting requirements have transformed the fixed asset accounting framework. International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) require fixed assets to be recorded at cost, but there are two accounting models – the cost model and the revaluation model. So what’s the difference, and when should you use each? This session will address fixed asset accounting and reporting under both models and how each is accounted for in Release 12.

Bring Down Costs by Controlling Cloud Capacity Precisely
Chances are, your organization has made the move to a cloud-first IT strategy, or is thinking of doing so in the near future. Cost savings is often a prime motivation, but simply transferring your infrastructure to the cloud does not guarantee lower costs.
Just like your on-premises data center, the cloud requires a careful balance of resources. Too much capacity leads to escalating costs and overspending. Too little, and you can face outages that put your business at risk.
View this webcast to learn strategies for getting the most out of your cloud infrastructure with capacity management. We will cover:
Why capacity management is different for cloud
The top cloud capacity management questions you should be asking

Thrive in the World of Change (Joshua May and Richard Revis, Blackline and EY)Executive Leaders Network
Delivered at ELN's Finance Leaders Event on Thursday 10th November 2022.
"Change is the only constant. No words have rung truer over the past few years.
As the world faces continuing disruption, companies can expect an accelerating pace of change and will need to build greater organisational resilience to better respond and adapt to a changing landscape.
Finance automation solutions are helping accounting and finance teams embrace change to not only improve accuracy, execute tighter controls, and decrease risk, but also focus on complex and judgemental areas to help drive strategic business decisions.
This is what modern accounting looks like: processes are automated, data is connected, and the role of auditor and accountant is elevated. The overall accounting team’s role evolves beyond executing checklists and historical reporting to include proactive analytics and a seat at the decision-making table.
After this session, attendees will be able to:
• Employ best practices, resulting in a better utilised, more efficient organisation that focuses on risk management, compliance, and data analytics
• Transform the way accounting and audit departments work by reducing manual tasks, resulting in better attraction and engagement of top talent
• Understand the power of automation and how it strengthens accounting organisations"

Digital Transformation in Healthcare: Journey to Oracle Cloud for Integrated,...Alithya
Healthcare has always been a data-driven industry. Until recently, many healthcare institutions struggled with disparate data in siloed enterprise systems because an integrated Cloud solution wasn’t widely available across Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Human Capital Management (HCM), and Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) processes. Today more than ever, it is critical that health systems have the ability to deliver quality care at the right cost. Equally important is the ability to remain agile and adapt to events around them. Without the right foundation in place – these things are impossible. That is why digital transformation is the future of healthcare.

Without the right foundation in place – these things are impossible. That is why digital transformation is the future of healthcare.
In this session, attendees learn:
• Establishing the foundation in the chart of accounts. Visualize how the right COA design can provide actionable analytics.
• Gain an understanding of how financials can directly connect with an EPM-focused solution like Planning to reduce manual processes and increase the efficiency of financial operations teams, therefore, assisting in bringing about real cost transparency to your organization.
• Finally, see how a Human Capital Management (HCM) and Payroll solution integrates seamlessly with the Planning process to provide better visibility into and reporting capabilities on the organization’s employees.
Join us as we embark on the Oracle Cloud digital transformation journey in pursuit of improving healthcare outcomes and bending the cost curve.
nter-pod Revolutions: Connected Enterprise Solution in Oracle EPM Cloud Alithya
The session will discuss a library of solutions implemented at clients for transferring between applications in separate pods. Each configuration has its own merits and use case. The four main categories that will be discussed are -
1. Trickle Feed - uses a combination of inter-pod REST API connection, data management load rule, groovy scripting and scheduled EPM Automate job on a jump server to pick-up the files from source and push to target.
2. Focused On-save Push - pushes an intersection from source to target using inter-pod REST API connection, data management load rule and groovy scripting.
3. Scheduled Push- uses a combination of windows or Linux job, inter-pod REST API connection, groovy scripting, data management load rule and EPM Automate commands to extract and push data en masse from source to target.
4. Json Extract and Load - uses a combination of groovy scripting and inter-pod REST API connection to extract and push an intersection on-save.
The audience will walk-away with learnings and understanding of inter-pod configurations, mainly for EPM Cloud planning applications. Snippets of code will form the "gold dust" takeaway from the session.
Oracle Cloud Time and Labor: Default Payroll Rate, Override Rate and Flat Dol...Alithya
Presentation was given at ODTUG & OHUG HCM Week. Recorded on 11/6/2020 given by Karen N. Settembrino.
Review the configuration required to support showing the default rate on the Responsive UI and the Classic UI time card along with configuring the manager’s ability to override the rate when necessary. In addition, show the setup necessary to support flat dollar amount entries on the time card to pass to payroll.
So, you can write basic calculations or maybe even intermediate. Nearly every Essbase and Planning applications requires calculations. The better you are at calculations, the more business value your applications deliver. But what makes the difference between good enough and great? What makes your code more reliable, faster, and easier to understand and debug? What techniques can you use to think through challenges and come up with solutions? This session offers some time-tested approaches to writing better calc scripts. Topics include:
Getting the requirements straight, thoroughly but without wasting time
Taking advantage of dimensionality and block structure
Variables and parameterization
One script or two?
What needs to be commented?
Alternative approaches to some common challenges
This session is intended for Essbase BSO developers who want to think about what “better code” means and how to write it. It requires at least some knowledge of Essbase BSO calculations.

Interstellar - The Thomas Jefferson Enterprise EPM Cloud JourneyAlithya
It’s a story of an interstellar journey where Thomas Jefferson (TJ) unravels the capabilities of Oracle EPM Cloud to benefit their cloud digital transformation across its academic and clinical pillars. TJ has six entities which were on separate platforms ranging from on-premises Oracle EPM systems to elaborate MS Excel models. This made it difficult to execute enterprise-wide planning and performance reporting standards. Planning scenarios for what-ifs, enterprise initiatives, and allocations were not swift nor robust across all businesses. Oracle EPM Cloud has provided a uniform platform with entity, business unit, and department level scalable capabilities, resulting in a robust and repeatable Enterprise Planning and Reporting process.

But here’s the secret: this isn’t just a Financial Close narrative. It’s a common tale across all domains—but can we give them the same fairytale ending? Using Profitability & Costing as a launching pad, explore what it looks like to move other financial processes towards being trustworthy and compliant, not just actuals data. Join us as we look at how EPM Cloud Account Reconciliation can move “outside the close.”

Taking Off to Flying Solo: Tracing Wright Medical’s Flight Plan into the CloudAlithya
After the first successful cloud project, many clients are tempted to sit back and relax. But for Wright Medical, “go-live” was just the beginning. In 2018, Wright took the first step with their Account Reconciliation implementation for the US business units. The following year they elevated their Planning and Master Data Management business processes to the cloud. Their journey culminated in a partnerless global rollout of Account Reconciliation—now that’s “flying solo”! Join us as we trace the plan that led to Wright’s successful takeoff into the cloud. We will discuss how they capitalized on the initial implementation investment with Alithya, launched best practices on an international scale, and continued their cloud evolution.

Recipes for the Oracle Cloud: Cooking with OneCloud in Your EPM KitchenAlithya
Ever get frustrated with EPM Automate? Curious about why all the good solutions to your EPM Cloud project have a bunch of shell scripts and command-line functions? Well, during the next few minutes we will cover a few case studies and solutions to those questions and more. We will cover how the product OneCloud fills in the gap and truly offers a total "cloud-based solution" for your EPM Cloud purchase.
OneCloud was built with a non-technical foundation in mind and was built around a graphic interface. It puts control of the EPM Cloud back into the hands of finance. Not only does OneCloud work with Oracle EPM products, it works with a bunch of other "sources/targets" as well.
I will also be comparing the time/cost of using EPM Automate and shell scripts versus OneCloud. Time is valuable and being able to quickly and easily perform daily functions is important. Sit back, relax, and let's dive into how this tool has helped others and start to think about how it could help you.

Lights-Out EPM Cloud Automation at Thomas Jefferson Using REST APIAlithya
The session will showcase how Thomas Jefferson automates the load of its PeopleSoft GL data eight times a day via a process across six business entities. The process is "lights-out" automation and runs based on the availability of file(s). The process automation uses EPM Automate, Data Management REST API, and custom PowerShell utilities that provide automation which starts with availability of file(s) and culminates in sending email communication to the business user with exceptions handling.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

8. EPM Complements ERP
• Core General Ledgers typically contain
some built-in intercompany processing
• Examples: Intercompany Hub in Cloud ERP,
AGIS in EBS, etc.
• Good for single ledger, non-complex
matching
• Requires an efficiently rolled out ERP
• Simplicity with Cloud ERP
Example within Oracle Cloud ERP

21. Typical reasons for mismatches
• Timing issues
• One side booked before end of month but
has not been received by the other side
• Translation differences
• Rates may not be consistently applied by
both sides of the transaction
• Booked incorrectly
• Entry may hit an account that is not
designated for intercompany
• Entry may not include trading partner details
• Missed items
• Simple omissions in entries
22. Understanding the ICP Dimension in
Financial Consolidation
• Generated in conjunction with the Entity
dimension – flagged at lowest level
• Captures intercompany values at the trial
balance (activity) level
• Allows for matching of reciprocal values
• Enables the mapping of data from multiple
sources into a common dimensional structure
• Facilitates eliminations with an audit trail of
values by partner
• Can also be used to track transactions with
other parties that do not need to be
eliminated
23. Other I/C Elements in Financial Consolidation
• Relevant I/C members are flagged within Account dimension
• Plug Accounts are assigned
• This should match what is configured within the G/L
• The combination of the two of these facilitates both the matching and
elimination process
24. I/C Matching Configuration
• Matching can be done by plug
or specified accounts
• Can be focused or broad
based for analysis
• Other dimensions can be
included or excluded as
needed for reverence
• Additional display options for
threshold based suppression,
reversals, and format
25. Better Together
• Ultimately the reconciliation detail is
needed to resolve true differences
• The intercompany matching report then
helps confirm any residual values that
are rolling through the statements
• In FCC this should align with TM (since
FCC has the Periodic activity)
26. Better Together
• The aggregate value of all unmatched
transactions will equal what is shown in
the compliance view
• This should match the plug amount in
consolidation
• This is a useful investigative tool during
the close process
27. Iterative Process
• Transactions matched between sources
• Initial G/L values loaded
• Matching may be identified within the
consolidation process
• Adjustments can be made and loaded back to
the ledger
• Data can be reloaded and reconsolidated
• Rinse and repeat until differences are resolved
or supported
28. User Interaction
• Use Navigation Flows to create a
seamless process
• The reconciliation elements can
be surfaced alongside the FCC
components
• Task Manager integrations can
also be leveraged to either
automate or track the
reconciliations as part of the
overall close process
30. When should I consider intercompany
matching?
• Connected pieces
• Smooth Account Reconciliations makes closing the
books easier
• Understanding what’s available in the data (and
what will need to be enriched)
• Volume of intercompany activity
• Single vs multiple source systems
• Modularly implement rules

Editor's Notes
If intercompany is setup efficiently within ERP (i.e, within subledgers), then intercompany is a relatively straightforward process
But that’s not always the case…
Or this could be a secondary check
**But that’s not why you’re here!
Residual difference is tucked away in BS (plug account in FCC)
Blackline’s proposal is an ERP implementation equivalent*** AND SUPER EXPENSIVE
- If you’re going to look at this, you might as well look at an actual ERP reevaluation

Security purposes
Such as in an acquisition
Centralized v decentralized
In FCC this should align with TM (since FCC has the Periodic activity)
This approach works with multiple ledgers / instances of Oracle Cloud ERP
