DATALOAD: Data from external sources such as spreadsheets, general ledgers and databases can be loaded directly into Hyperion Enterprise in the form of ASCII files. Conversion tables can be used to translate external entities and accounts to those used by Hyperion Enterprise system.


JOURNALS: These are audit entries that can be made to adjust the data in accounts for reporting entities in your organization that have journal adjustments. When journals are posted, the system stores the debit and credit entries.

Consolidation is the process wherein data values are rolled up from accounts in dependent entities to those in parent entities. As dara consolidates, a ser of user-defined logic rules performs calculations on the data. Hyperion Enterprise allows you to consolidate across a range of periods and entities, or only on specific periods or entities that have been “impacted” by changes in data.
