Using the Strategic Ledger data mart

This chapter describes the reporting and analysis functionality available to you through the Strategic Ledger data mart. You can use this multidimensional database to view your Strategic Ledger data from a variety of angles for analysis and decision making. Lawson delivers several pre-defined data mart types that you can use to define data marts that contain your multidimensional data; this chapter focuses only on the Strategic Ledger data mart.

For complete information about defining data marts and using the Analytic Architect application, see the Analytic Architect User Guide. For a detailed description of other data mart types, refer to the documentation for the application that is associated with the data mart type.

Before you can define data marts, you must have strategic ledgers defined and transactions posted. See Strategic Ledger processing cycle.
