Use the Anaplan Financial Consolidation API to synchronize dimension information with an external application, such as a planning solution.

By obtaining dimension details via the API, other applications, such as reporting tools or planning applications, gain access to the financial structure and hierarchy used for actuals data in the Financial Consolidation solution. This improves the accuracy and reliability of management reporting, planning, and forecasting within the planning software. The predefined dimensions and relationships facilitate proper data alignment and analysis, eliminating manual upkeep. This way, there is less chance of structural differences or inconsistencies between the two systems. This makes system management easier.

This integration facilitates data sharing, synchronization, and real-time updates across different systems, enhancing overall operational efficiency and accuracy of financial information.

You can use the metadata endpoints to retrieve information about:

  • Dimensions and their properties within the entire tenant.
  • Dimensions and their associated properties within a specific model. 
  • Members and their associated properties within a specific dimension.  

Member keys can be included in queries, although they might not be relevant outside Anaplan.
