FCCS Update - Dec 16

In my blog post A Glimpse into FCCS I talked about haw alternate rollups are not allowed in the Entity dimension because of how Oracle is doing the elimination logic. Well, one of the big improvements with the latest patch is the ability to have alternate rollups.
From the read me

"One entity can have multiple parents, and contribute differently to each parent. These members are called “Partial Shared” entities, where only a part of input data is shared across all instances of the entities".

This patch/upgrade release also includes  a number of other enhancements including:

Currency translation for supplemental data. This data can now be entered in local currency and be translated

Move of rate override members from the Data source dimension to the Consolidation dimension. Although not spelled out, this was a bug we encountered where historical rates were not being applied properly. This change allows different override rates to be applied to different source members. Three new members have been added to the consolidation dimension FCCS_Overrides, FCCS_Rate Override, and FCCS_Amount Override.

In Data Management, FCCS is now a source system- With this change FCCS can be used as a source for other cloud systems like PBCS( Planning Cloud Service,) EPBCS(Enterprise Planning Cloud), ARCS(Account Reconciliation Cloud Service)  and PCMCS (Profitability and Cost Management Cloud Service). In addition, you can push data to a flat file for use in other systems.

Data Management now also supports multi-period loads. This allows you to have periods on the columns in your data file.

There were a couple of bug fixes as well. dealing with member tagged as saved assumptions and Flow not accumulating over time and Data entry intersections not always clearing for parent members.

As you can see the FCCS team has been very busy adding needed enhancements.  It just gets better and better.
