Additional Planning application features are supported for Planning dimensions. You can add children and siblings to Scenario, Version, and Period dimensions, and you can use the cut, paste, expand, and collapse features to work with their dimension hierarchies (see Working with Dimension Hierarchies). You can also use shared members for these dimensions, and can set two pass calculations at the root level for all dimensions. For example, you can:
Feature | More Information |
---|---|
In Scenario and Version dimensions, create hierarchies and use shared members. If you assign children to bottom-up versions, these versions display as read-only parents on forms. | See Setting Up Scenarios and Specifying Versions. |
In the Period dimension, create alternate hierarchies and use shared descendants. Data Storage for all time periods can be set to any valid Data Storage value. The Consolidation operator for all time periods, including BegBalance, can be set to any valid consolidation operator. For example, it can be set to + instead of ~ (ignore). | See Working with the Years Dimension, Editing the BegBalance Member, and Editing Exchange Rate Tables. |
Turn on two pass calculation at the root level, for example, for Account. | |
