"What-if" Planning With Version Builder
You can use Version Builder to create and manage multiple versions of a forecast. To use Version Builder, you must enable the Version Builder feature. For more information, see the help topic Enabling Planning and Budgeting Financials from the Planning and Budgeting Financials Integration Guide.
It is best practice to have only users with the Administrator role and budget owners use Version Builder.
Version Builder enables you to:
-
Model different possibilities, such as Best Case, Worst Case, and What-if scenarios.
-
Manage how you share your plan data to internal and external stakeholders.
-
Have multiple iterations on a plan.
You can either create a new forecast version, make adjustments to an existing forecast version, or assign a new alias to an existing forecast version.
The procedures for using Version Builder in this topic include:
In some cases, Version Builder may be a long running operation.
After you create a new version, adjust an existing version, or assign a new alias to an existing version, you should execute a database refresh. For more information, see Refreshing Application Databases in the Oracle Help Center.
