Which data does a Clear Data Management Step clear?

The reason "Data Unit and Origin Member" is the correct choice lies in the specific functions of the Clear Data Management Step within the OneStream platform. This step is designed to clear data at a defined level of granularity.

When applied, it not only clears the numerical data stored under the Data Unit but also removes any associations with Origin Members. This means that if you have a contextual framework where data is tied to specific origins—such as different departments, time periods, or geographical locations—this step ensures that both the quantitative data and its contextual affiliations are reset.

Clearing data is essential for preparing datasets for fresh inputs or adjustments without carrying over any historical inaccuracies or irrelevant data associations. This is particularly crucial in financial reporting and analysis where precise data integrity is critical.

In contrast, the other choices focus on different aspects of data management but do not encompass the specific combination that the Clear Data Management Step handles. The function of this step is clearly defined and understood in terms of its clearing capabilities, which is why "Data Unit and Origin Member" is accurate.
