Description

Required Dimensions

Rate

A rate application is a supporting application for financial and consolidation reporting applications. It is used to store exchange rates that support currency conversion in financial applications.

The time dimension must be identical to the dimension used by the applications using the rate application to store their foreign currency exchange rates and must have the same category member IDs.

This application must include a currency dimension detailing the exchange rates by each input currency. The currency dimension in a rate application does not need to have the REPORTING property.

Generic

A generic application has no special requirements other than the four required dimensions. Generic applications have no default business intelligence. Therefore, to apply logic, create it using script logic.
