With Planning and Consolidation reporting, you can retrieve requested data from the database into the Excel interface. You can analyze your multidimensional data using the current view, which is available on the action pane. The system provides a variety of report templates to help you design your own reports.

Input schedules allow you to send data directly from your spreadsheet to the databases. Input schedules contain all of the same formatting and functionality as reports. The difference is that reports are used for analysis purposes, and input schedules are used for writing data to the database. Data can be written to base-level members to which you have write access.
