This webinar showcases how Opus Group® leveraged Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud Service (PBCS) to create a custom project-driven financial planning solution that is used for short and long-term capital, revenue, margin, and expense planning. This PBCS application incorporates key concepts required for financial planning from the real estate and construction industry, such as project capital structure and equity, capital roll-forwards, rolling forecasts, and revenue recognition by different capital structures. The session includes a live demo to illustrate how the planning model integrates a project-level proforma to short and long-term capital and P&L planning tools to generate a variety of financial reports. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlYJheRkucU

The new Oracle EPBCS Workforce business process has a complex framework which allows for planning at both the employee and job level. Through a live demo, the session will demonstrate how this framework can be configured in three scenarios—configuring what comes out of the box "as-is", post configuration and customization using the custom expense property, and finally and more importantly a methodology to scale the workforce framework by adding another custom dimension (please note that the assumptions plan type doesn't allow the adding of dimensions). Learning Objectives: Learn what is happening between the three plan types being spawned when Workforce business process and all its features are enabled. Learn what happens with only job or employee-based planning enablement. Learn the value proposition of the features. See and learn from salaries, taxes, and benefits cases. Webinar sponsored by ODTUG on 5/2/19 and hosted by Vatsal Gaonkar, Product Manager at Alithya. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jv_7Mze_Dqg

Want to empower users or yourself with more flexible, more advanced packaged Essbase queries? Essbase and Planning have many great reporting options, but so much of the time users still just want to work with their data in Excel. Smart View does a great job of basic zooming and pivoting. However, there are still things you just can’t do with the usual Smart View features, things like top and bottom reports, custom grouping, custom sorting, and filters. With MDX, you can! Users can execute MDX from Smart View. The MDX Library extension makes it user friendly, and there are other advantages. It’s fast, it respects security settings, and you can avoid some of the limits on query size. Most importantly, it dramatically extends what users can do with their Essbase data in Excel. MDX can be complicated; attend this webinar to better understand the code, script files, and a step-by-step approach on how to customize them. Specifically, the webinar review covers: • Top and bottom reports • Sorting and filtering • Custom grouping • Calculated columns • Custom time-based analytical calculations • How to customize the queries • Using variables for customization Whether you're an admin, developer, power user, or an adventurous end user with no knowledge of MDX, you'll gain insight into MDX during this webinar.
