Hi-Definition Transformation Problems > Application-specific Data Transformation > Sell a Part of Your Business

You are selling a part of your business and need to separate out the data.

Problem

A large entertainment company is selling their “Stores” division to another company. They don’t want the new company to be able to see the proprietary data from the other segments of the business, that aren’t being sold.

Solution

Using the eprentise divestiture software, the company created a filter rule to separate and delete data from the accounting flexfield in the Oracle E-Business Suite. Once the rule was created, they quickly and easily ran a report to show what data met the criteria set out in the rule. They then deleted all transactions not related to the “Stores” division.

The eprentise method maintained all relational integrity, and adjusted all totals to reflect the deleted transactions.
