Copying Scenarios

Only scenario properties are copied. Data values and access rights associated with the original scenario are not copied to the new scenario.

To copy scenarios:

  1. From the Home page, click Application, and then click Overview.
  2. Click Dimensions, click the Scenario dimension, and then click the Edit Member Properties tab.
  3. In the Edit Member Properties grid, select the scenario to copy.
  4. Click Duplicate icon.

    The duplicate scenario is added to the grid and _copy is appended after the member name.

  5. In the Member Name column, enter a new name for the duplicate scenario.
  6. In the Start Yr., End Yr., Start Period, and End Period columns, define the time periods to associate with the scenario.
  7. You can also perform these optional steps:
    • In the Description column, enter a description for the scenario.

    • To update the alias, select one of the Alias Table columns (choose default or a language) to associate with the scenario, and enter an alias name.

    • In the Beg.Bal. as Time Period column, specify whether to include the BegBalance time period in this scenario for currency conversion.

    • In the Enabled for Approvals column, specify whether to include this scenario in approvals.

    • In the Exchange Rate Table, select an exchange rate table to associate with the scenario.

      Note:

      If an application uses multiple currencies, associate a scenario with an exchange rate table to enable currency conversions.

      Tip:

      To display the Beg.Bal. as Time Period, Enabled for Approvals, and Exchange Rate Table columns in the grid, you'll need to select them in the Select Columns dialog. To do so, click Select Columns icon, expand Scenario, select Beg.Bal. as Time Period, Enabled for Approvals, and Exchange Rate Table, and then click OK.

  8. Click Save.
