About Detailed Profitability Validation

A model must be validated multiple times during its lifecycle.

• After completing Model Data Registration, perform Model Validation for Model Data Registration to ensure that all tables have been properly registered for usage in the model before you proceed to define the rest of the model.

• After the model is built, perform Model Validation to ensure that the model structure conforms to modeling rules.

• After calculating the model, generate Source and Destination Stage Balancing Reports to balance all in and out entries for the model.

The tabs available on the Model Validation screen are read-only, and highlight issues with the Detailed Profitability model structure:

• Model Data Registration

• Drivers

• Calculation Rules

• Unused Drivers

• Missing Driver Assignments

• Assignment Rules

Any errors and missing information are displayed, along with the associated severity. You must correct errors encountered during the model structural validation cycle before you can continue to build or calculate the model.

See these sections to perform the appropriate validation on the model:
