02 Course Overview

This instructor-led curriculum develops practical capability in both Oracle Profitability and Cost Management Cloud Service (PCMCS) and Oracle Enterprise Profitability and Cost Management Cloud Service (EPCMCS, commonly documented by Oracle as Enterprise Profitability and Cost Management or EPCM). Learners progress from profitability concepts and application design through allocation modeling, calculation execution, traceability, reporting, integration, automation, security, migration, and production support.

03 Business Outcomes 1 topics
  • Design multidimensional profitability and cost allocation models for customers, products, services, channels, legal entities, regions, and shared-service functions. Build transparent allocation logic using sources, destinations, drivers, offsets, rule sets, rules, and calculation controls. Load, validate, reconcile, calculate, analyze, and publish profitability results with auditable traceability. Automate recurring operational processes using Data Integration, Smart View, EPM Automate, REST APIs, and migration tools. Assess and execute the transition from a classic PCMCS application to an EPCMCS application.
04 Target Audience 1 topics
  • Oracle EPM and Hyperion consultants Management accountants, cost accountants, FP&A professionals, and financial controllers Finance transformation and shared-services teams Solution architects, application administrators, and support analysts Professionals preparing for Oracle Cloud EPM profitability implementations
05 Prerequisites 1 topics

07 PCMCS and EPCMCS Positioning

Oracle describes Enterprise Profitability and Cost Management as an updated, separate application type from Profitability and Cost Management. The curriculum therefore teaches both the classic PCMCS operating model and the newer EPCMCS design, calculation, and analysis experience.

Area

PCMCS

EPCMCS / EPCM

 

Application approach

Classic Profitability and Cost Management application

Newer enterprise application type with enhanced model execution and analysis

 

Core modeling

Rule sets, allocation rules, custom rules, drivers, balances

Models, rule sets, allocation rules, custom calculation rules, POV-based execution

 

Calculation review

Calculation jobs, balancing and result analysis

Calculation control, history, model validation, rule balancing, performance statistics

 

Analysis

Dashboards, reports, Smart View, traceability and profitability views

Profit curves, allocation trace, dashboards, reports, forms, Smart View and model documentation

Implementation focus

Operate, optimize, support, and maintain existing PCMCS solutions

New implementations and migration from PCMCS where appropriate

Important naming note: Oracle documentation generally abbreviates the enterprise application as EPCM. “EPCMCS” is retained in this curriculum because it is widely used in training and project discussions.
