Oracle EPM Cloud Planning 2018 Implementation Essentials — Question 17

What would be the recommended Enterprise Planning and Budgeting Cloud (EPBC) cube architecture for a company wanting to enable the Financials and Capital frameworks, as create a Detailed Sales Forecasting cube with complex allocations and calculations, corresponding sales reporting cube, and consolidated reporting cube?

Answer options

• A. 2 BSO cubes (1 required for the frameworks + 1 custom BSO cube), 2 ASO cubes
• B. 3 custom BSO cubes, 2 ASO cubes
• C. 3 BSO cubes (1 required for the frameworks + 2 custom BSO cubes), 2 ASO cubes
• D. 3 BSO cubes (2 required for the frameworks + 1 custom BSO cube), 2 ASO cubes

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because it includes one BSO cube for the frameworks and two custom BSO cubes for detailed forecasting and reporting, along with two ASO cubes for consolidated reporting. Option A lacks a custom BSO cube for detailed forecasting, while option B does not account for the required frameworks. Option D incorrectly suggests needing two BSO cubes for the frameworks, which is excessive for the requirements stated.
