Merging of the Company names is one of the types of the cleansing rules we have and these rules are stored in the itfm_cleansing_condition table

We can select what columns/attributes we see there. It is dependent on our data source.
Navigate to Financial Modeling>Data Sources>Setup
Select the source you are using/want to modify
We then have our fields listed. Everything that is set to True in the column "Used by Cleansing" will show in the Data Cleansing chevron of the Workbench.

If I manually bucket an account, and then later create a condition on another bucket - will the newly created condition remove and rebucket the expenses, or would it only apply to the remaining, non-bucketed accounts?

Under Accounts > List Sorting > Advanced Actions > Uncategorize all accounts....if that open is selected, do the conditions on buckets automatically apply to the resulting list of uncategorized accounts? or is there an additional action required?

Advanced conditions are executed prior to the simple bucketing rules created by dragging and dropping. If an advanced condition is fully applicable to the entire account, then as a result there will be $0 left in the account. The simple bucketing rule would still be processed, but there wouldn't be any money left for it to allocate. Because advanced conditions are able to look at attributes other than Account Number, it is possible that only part of the money in an account would be moved to a bucket using an advanced condition, in that case simple conditions later would allocate any remaining amount.

You indicate there is an order of precedence: advanced conditions prior to simple conditions. In the exercise, we performed some simple conditions (i.e. drag and drop), and then created an advanced condition. Would the creation of the advanced condition apply to the already-bucketed accounts at this point, or would it remain where it was bucketed under the simple condition.

*this is assuming that the advanced and simple conditions will create a different outcome.

As this course only covers Financial Modeling and Financial Charging, where can I find in depth information about Financial Planning?

On tuesday there is a lab "ITBM 202: Financial Modeling the ServiceNow way!". Are there any further topics discussed, that are not covered in this preconference course?

There is a lab on Tuesday and Wednesday (same lab, 2 days/times) called something with "budgeting and forecasting" that will talk about financial planning

There will be a lot of overlap, but the lab is going to be using an OOTB ITFM prescribed cost model and metrics.

Benchmark Data Collection is the OOB scheduled job.  Open it up and it has 29 different "snapshots" of various data points

What was the answer to who can see ITFM OOB dashboard?  I heard pa_viewer, but wasn't sure what else was needed.

Users with the pa_viewer role can view scorecards and dashboards.

Are there training materials available for customers that do not have Performance Analytics?  The requirements indicated only a reporting plug in was required, although all materials are geared toward PA use.  Any help is appreciated!

Will we have the capability to export showback/chargeback detail to an xml or similar file to upload into our GL for financial transaction processing?

No official training that I am aware of, I would point you to or Docs site.

https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/kingston-it-business-management/page/product/it-finance/concept/c_ITFinance.html

 

We can still use the application to process our GL (datasource) into our expense line. (Then just use reporting I guess?)

 

Someone told me a SC told them that at least the Content Pack was a requirement. (I know, I know, that is how rumors start, sorry.) Check with your sc/rep.

Hello All,

I am planning to give my CIS for Financial Mgmt now and revising the participant guide and labs for the same.

Does anyone have a copy of the supporting documents/attachments required for the lab? I am not able to locate my folder 😞

Also has anyone appeared for the CIS? Any pointers or tips for the same?

I checked the training portal and this class didn't show up with the list of training sessions I have taken over the years. I have emailed SN to get assistance with this.
