Which statement is true regarding Data Management categories?

• A. Categories are defined on the Global Mapping tab and then the frequency is specified on the Application Mapping tab
• B. Categories must begin with FCCS_ to match their Financial Consolidation and Close counterparts.
• C. Application mapping is not required if the global mapping target category is exactly correct.
• D. The category's time frequency allows data to be loaded to daily, weekly, and monthly scenarios.

Answer: (C)

Data Management uses two mapping layers: Global Mapping and Application Mapping. The Global Mapping defines the target category in FCCS, and Application Mapping provides app-specific overrides if needed. If the global mapping already resolves to the exact target category used in FCCS, there is no need to add an Application Mapping. That is why this statement is true: you can omit Application Mapping when the global mapping target is exactly correct, and data will load to the intended FCCS category without extra overrides.

The other statements don’t fit because categories do not have to begin with FCCS_ as a naming requirement, and Application Mapping is not the place where a flag about the frequency is assigned if the global mapping already points to the correct target. Also, the category’s time frequency does not by itself enable loading data to multiple scenarios like daily, weekly, and monthly; the frequencies and data load options are governed by the model’s time dimensions and defined data load capabilities, not by a per-category setting that must be defined in App Mapping.
