EPM Planning Forms 2.0 Issue with Percentage Input

EPM, EPM Forms, Hyperion, Oracle 1 Minute

Forms 2.0 was recently released and overall is a huge improvement. But a colleague of mine discovered an issue with percentages. The issue has been raised with Oracle and they are investigating. Until a resolution is provided, be aware of the following behavior.

When entering a value with the percentage character, the digits are moved such that .05% becomes 50%.

While unlikely one would enter a percent in this manner, it is possible and would result in the incorrect value being saved.

As of this writing, Oracle has replicated and acknowledged the issue. I will update this post with new information as we get it.

As always, happy EPM’ng!

Many thanks to Wayne Bates for making me aware of this issue.

I started working with Hyperion Planning back in 2008, first as an end user, then moving into an administrator role, and now for the last several years as a consultant. In February 2021, I became an Oracle ACE Associate, then in August 2021 I was promoted to ACE. This blog started as a way to keep track of my own thoughts, the issues I encounter and the solutions found. It has evolved into a way for me to share those thoughts and solutions with the EPM community.

  1. Great to know. What about showing decimals on forms like the exchange rate forms in FCC. I haven’t managed to find the setting for specific forms to show this.
