Best Practices and Recommendations

For optimizing consolidations:

Parent entities should never forecast variables accepting input based on funding options results.
To optimize consolidation speed at the cost of storage, activate Store outputs for all accounts in Scenario Manager for each entity to avoid recalculating unchanged values.

Tip: To maintain historical data, business units should begin their consolidation in the first forecast period, and the parent entity should preserve outputs for the non-consolidated time periods.
