• Enter the following query: select_physical * from "FscmTopModelAM.AccountBIAM.flex_tree_vs_gl_account_vi"
• Select Issue SQL.

The Incorta GLSegmentHier materialized view uses the following VOs:

• Fusion_FIN_COMMON.flex_tree_vs_gl_account_vi gcf
• Fusion_FIN_COMMON.fndtreeversiontlp1 tvt

Here are some sample OTBI issue SQL queries:

Natural account

Copy
FscmTopModelAM.AccountBIAM.FLEX_TREE_VS_GL_ACCOUNT_VI
FscmTopModelAM.AccountBIAM.FLEX_TREECODE_VS_GL_ACCOUNT_VI

select_physical * from FscmTopModelAM.AccountBIAM.FLEX_VS_GL_ACCOUNT_VI
select_physical * from "FscmTopModelAM.AccountBIAM.flex_tree_vs_gl_account_vi"

Cost center

Copy
select_physical * from "FscmTopModelAM.AccountBIAM.FLEX_VS_FA_COST_CTR_VI"
select_physical * from "FscmTopModelAM.AccountBIAM.FLEX_TREE_VS_FA_COST_CTR_VI"
