Entities

You must add the required entities to a model manually, upload them from a file or import them from the related table of the integration database.

The Entities business object is usually a flat list but for reporting purposes, entities can be hierarchical. You can assign an entity to multiple parents only during a file upload or file import.

Configuring the Entities business object involves setting up entity types. These entity types are available:

• Standard

  A default setting. A standard entity is both an entity and an intercompany. Other entities can have relationships with a standard entity.

• Intercompany Only

  This setting means that an entity is only an intercompany and cannot be a reporting entity or part of ownership. This setting is published to the Intercompany dimension. An Intercompany Only serves as an internal partner to store intercompany details.
