Financial Data Quality Management

Oracle Hyperion FDM is a packaged application for Financial Data movement from any data source to any Hyperion
application (Enterprise, HFM, Essbase, Planning, etc.)

Six steps comprise the basic FDM process:

1. Import source data.

2. Validate source data against mapping tables.
3. Export source data to target system.
4. Consolidate target system data.
5. Validate target system data.
6. Review and validate internal financial control.
