Setting the Period Frequency is an mandatory step during the initial roll-out of CXO-Cockpit on free models.
You need to define the Period dimension members to be used and map them to the parent members of the Period hierarchy.
Attributes
Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
Path | The path of a particular Period dimension member to the highest level of the Period hierarchy. The path is derived automatically bases on the defined Parent members. |
Period Member | Select a member from the list of Period dimension members. List all the Period members which need to be present in CXO-Cockpit. |
Frequency | The time frequency of the related Period dimension member. You need to map all Period members to the related frequency (e.g. Year -> Y, Quarter -> Q, Month ->M) |
Order | The Order in which Period dimension member should appear within the hierarchy level. |
Parent | The Parent member of the related Period dimension member. Define the Parent member for every Period member under the highest level of Period hierarchy. |
Example of SAP BPC
In SAP BPC the Time dimension often contains the Year and the Period dimension in one. To use this in CXO it is often splitted to a seperate Year en Period dimension. To do so use the following instructions.
Open the source system manager and go to the dimension split
open the mapping of the Time dimension to map the years an periods
After saving the changes the mapped years and periods will be available in CXO.
