Hyperion System 9 Financial Management
System 9 Financial Management is the culmination of more than 25+ years of leadership in the Financial Consolidation and Reporting domain.
Hyperion was first to market with the DOS-based Micro Control product in the 1980s. Micro Control was the first PC-based Financial Consolidation application on the market.
Hyperion then developed Hyperion Enterprise in the 1990s when Windows Client/Server technology replaced DOS technology. More than 2500 companies use Hyperion Enterprise to consolidate their results and close their books. How many Hyperion Enterprise customers do we have here today?
System 9 Financial Management was launched 5 years ago when Web Application Server software began to replace Windows Client/Server software. We now have more than 1000 Financial Management customers. System 9 Financial Management represents significant improvements in global functionality (SOX audit trails, IFRS, operational details) and scalability (in terms of both database size and dimensionality and user counts).
Key Points:

Common interface to design calculation rules
Easy way to create complex financial calculations
Graphical flow provides better understanding of calculation process
Re-usable rules to share among applications
Central repository of all calculation objects
One place to maintain all calculation rules

26. Calculation Types
The existing HFM application supports the different SUB sections within a VB script. Each SUB section is used for different purpose. For example, Sub Calculate is used for regular calculation while Sub Translate is used during the currency translation process. Each SUB serves a purpose within HFM calculation process.
Today in HFM, we support the following pre-defined calculation type:
Allocate
Calculate
Consolidate
Dynamic
EquityPickUp (EPU)
Input
NoInput
Transactions
Translate
Generic (new for Calc Mgr)

27. Calculation Manager – Level of Objects
3 levels of objects: Rule Set, Rule, Components
Rule Set contains a collection of rules.
Rule contains a collection of formula components or script components, as well as conditional and loop objects
Component contains a collection of formula or script statements

28. Rule Sets
A Rule Set is a collections of rules. A rule set can also consist of other rule sets. These rules / rule sets will be executed in the order it appears in the Rule Set Designer.
A rule set is equivalent of the current “Major” SUB in VB script. (i.e. SUB Calculate, SUB Consolidate, SUB Translate) Therefore, each SUB is considered as a rule set.
Rules may be used in more than one calculation types (i.e. used in both Calculate or Consolidate). These rules are created as a “Generic” calculation type.

29. Rules
A Rule is an object which consists of many different calculations. These complex formula calculations are group together in a component.
A Rule consists of either Formula Component or Script Component. It also can contain Conditional Object or Loop Object.
Conditional object tests if condition is met. Nested conditions is supported (IF … THEN … ELSE IF…)
Loop object supports Member Range loop (member list), Data loop (OpenDataUnit), and Fixed loop (for i = 1 to 10)
The calculation flow of a rule is represented in a graphical flow chart.

30. Components
A Component object can be a Formula component or Script component.
A Formula Component consists of a collection of formula calculation statements. The Formula Calculations are represented in a “grid” like UI so that one can easily see the collection of formula statements for that component.
A Script Component consists of a collection of valid VB script statements. In most cases, the script component should be self-contained where it should include all of the variables, functions and subs needed to execute.

31. Navigation within Calculation Manager
Three views available for navigation of calculation objects:
System View – a hierarchical view of objects by application and by calculation type.
Custom View – one can organize rules objects into various custom folders. Support multiple levels of custom folders. A folder can contain rules objects from any applications.
List View – a list view containing filter objects. Many options are available to allow user to filter the types of objects. Sorting by object type, by name, by application is available in the list view.

32. Calculation Manager System View
Central repository of all calculation objects
Objects are organized by Application and by Calculation Type
Within each object type (i.e. Rule set, Rule, Component) user can easily drill down to next level of objects.
