Analysis dimensions: BPDANALYSIS_nn

Analysis dimension are custom or industry-specific dimensions used for reporting. Some of these dimensions are pre-defined for industry-specific Budgeting & Planning applications such as public sector and healthcare.

Analysis dimensions are distinct from financial segments involved in statutory consolidations.

Infor EPM provides 12 analysis dimensions (BPDANALYSIS_01 through BPDANALYSIS_12). Within industry-specific Budgeting & Planning applications, some are reserved, and the remaining ones are available for customer specific usage.

This table describes the analysis dimensions:

Dimension name Reserved Public section purpose Health care purpose Description
BPDANALYSIS_01 N Grant
BPDANALYSIS_02 Y Fund
BPDANALYSIS_03 Y Appropriation Pool Used to track allotments of resources. Pool can be used within Capital Planning.
BPDANALYSIS_04 N Program
BPDANALYSIS_05 N Project
BPDANALYSIS_06 Y Decision Package Decision Package Reserved for Decision Package.
BPDANALYSIS_07 N Physician
BPDANALYSIS_08 N Payer
BPDANALYSIS_09 N Service Line May be reserved for Product.
BPDANALYSIS_10 N Cost Type
BPDANALYSIS_11 N Cost Category
BPDANALYSIS_12 Y Strategy Strategy Reserved for Strategy Management.

There are no separate staging tables for the BPDANALYSIS_nn dimensions and there is no integration stored procedure to validate the data. You load source system data directly into the Elements and Parents dimension tables that Designer can import.

The DIM_BPDANALYSIS_01_ELEMENTS - DIM_BPDANALYSIS_12_ELEMENTS tables provide basic information, including translated names, for each analysis dimension element but do not contain parent-child information.

This table describes DIM_BPDANALYSIS_nn_ELEMENTS:

N (numeric, this is the typical value)

S (string)
