Generating a Model Snapshot Documentation Report

Enterprise Profitability and Cost Management keeps snapshots of your models when you calculate them. If you make changes to a model later, you still have a compelete record of the rules that generated each calculation.

The Model Snapshot Documentation report gives you a historical printout of the rules in a model at the time the model was calculated. The report shows the name and sequence of the rules used in the model and gives an explanation of the purpose of each rule. If you click a hyperlink for a rule, it will show you detailed information about the rule and the actual rule definition. The hyperlinks enable you to easily navigate through the different areas in the report. For example, you can navigate from the overview of a rule and the sequence in which it occures to the actual rule definition.

You can save the report locally and distribute it to others, or attach it to other reports to help explain the allocation process to internal or external reviewers and auditors.
