Model: Revenue Recognition - Specifications for Fact Table: FORECAST CUT OFF PERIOD

On this page you will find the specifications regarding the Model: Revenue Recognition and Fact Table: FORECAST CUT OFF PERIOD.

This model dimension is for selecting a forecast by reporting cut off period and is based on the IFS Cloud Parquet dimension DIM_BI_TIME_FINANCE_PQ.

Attributes

Attribute	Description (where applicable)
Forecast Cut Off Period	Forecast Cut Off Reporting Period in format YYYY-MM
Forecast Cut Off Year	The Reporting Year of Forecast Cut Off Period

Measures (table to be generated as far as possible)

Aggregation of measures is based on SUM if not explicitly noted.

This section describes the basic measures in the cube. These are either measures defined in the core Information Source, in the model itself or in the ETL process. The columns have the following meaning:

Core Measure: A measure that has its origin in a core Information Source
Calculated Y/N: A measure specifically defined for the model, e.g. percentages etc. These measures do not derive from the Information Source.
Contains Time Intelligence Y/N: Some measures do also have additional time intelligence measures like Year To Date (YTD) Se separate section.
Definition/Note: Specifies if there is a specific logic behind a measure. More information might also be found in documentation for Information Sources.
Aggregation Type: Specifies the aggregation type of a measure.
Hidden Y/N: Specifies if a measure is hidden and there by not visible to the end user when browsing the model.
Tabular Expression: The DAX expression in the measure definition.

Measure	Calculated Y/N	Contains Time Intelligence Y/N	Definition/Note (where applicable)	Aggregation Type	Hidden Y/N	Tabular Expression
FlagForecast	Y	Y	Value = 0 in reporting period showing ACTUALS and Value=1 in periods showing FORECAST amounts. Can be used to visulize which periods displays Actual and Forecast amount respectively.	N/A	N	IF( SELECTEDVALUE('REPORTING PERIOD'[Reporting Year Period])<= SELECTEDVALUE('FORECAST CUT OFF PERIOD'[Forecast Cut Off Period Num]),0,1) // This measure =1 for Reporting Periods after Forecast Cut Off Period and =0 for periods up to the cut off period.
SelectedCutOffPeriod	Y	N	The Reporting Period selected to be last with ACTUALS values, beyond that period showing FORECAST values.	N/A	N	SELECTEDVALUE('FORECAST CUT OFF PERIOD'[Forecast Cut Off Period Num]) // Measure to identify which Forecast Cut Off Period to be used. // In case of Forecast Type is review with only one version per reporting report selecting a Forecast Cut Off Period helps the report to filter on a single forecast version.

Time Intelligence Measures

Time based measures are calculated in the cube with respect to other measures. The table below defines the meaning/definition of the different time measures. These measures need to be used with a specific time dimension hierarchy [REPORTING_DATE].[RepDateMFHy].

Measure	Meaning
YTD	Aggregated value for current month in current year. E.g. for period 202010 Ytd represents sum of periods 202000-202010.
R12	For a given period, the sum all months from one year back up to the previous month. E.g. Rolling 12 for 202010 is the sum of months 201910 - 202009
PY	Previous Year The value of the corresponding month one year back. E.g. for month 202010, the value of month 201910.
YTD PY	Year to Date Previous Year Aggregated value for corresponding month one year back. E.g. for month 202010 YTD Previous Year represents sum of months 201901-201910.
R12 PY	Rolling 12 (completed) Months Previous Year For a given month, first going one year back, then taking the sum of all months from one (more) year back up to the previous month. E.g. for month 202010 the sum of month 201810-201909
Avg XXX Ytd	Sum XXX YTD/Count XXX YTD
Avg XXX R12	Sum XXX R12/Count XXX R12
XXX % YTD	Count XXX YTD/Count YYY YTD
XXX % R12	Count XXX R12/Count XXX R12

Data source Information

The data source for this object is defined using IFS Developer Tool. The data source contains a number of transformations where the model reads data from the last step, i.e. the Data source view name (DW Source View Name).

Additional information can be found in the online documentation of Information Sources.
