Data storage

Use data storage elements to map your data into your Infor EPM business application.

When you create a sub plan,a group of four storage elements is created. These elements can be used for general data storage or to store opening balance values, for example. Each element is named with the unique name of the sub plan, plus the prefix CSP to indicate a custom sub plan. A suffix indicates the area to which each storage element applies.

Storage elements are published to the Level dimension in OLAP. The Level dimension is used to separate values that are generated in the budgeting and planning process. This enables you to identify whether data originates from, for example imports, inputs, or sub plans.

Values from data imports or entries are calculated and stored as differences.

If necessary, you can add further groups of storage elements.
