GL Summary Refresh Cube

The GL Summary data model provides high-level, summarized, and performance-optimized financial data for fast dashboards and management reporting. Because this data is not updated in real-time, the GL Summary Refresh cube must be regularly built and loaded to ensure your reports and analytics reflect the latest data.

Benefits of refreshing the GL Summary cube

  • Improving reporting accuracy: Ensure dashboards and summary reports always reflect the latest available financial data.
  • Optimizing performance: Provide high-level analysis with fast-loading, pre-aggregated data rather than live transactional queries.
