Defining Business Cases for Scenario Rollups
Once you've built a scenario rollup structure, you must create one or more business cases to complete the scenario rollup definition. A business case defines how child node data is rolled up into the parent.
To create a business case:
- Select a model in the scenario rollup structure, and then click Add New Business Case.
- Enter a business case name.
The business case name can’t be the same as an existing scenario name.
- In Leaf Node Scenario to Contribute, select the default scenario to use
for the leaf nodes in this structure for rolling up data to the parent model during
scenario rollup, and then click Add.
You can change the scenario associated with individual leaf nodes later in the scenario rollup tree structure list in the Scenario column.
The business case is added and becomes the currently active business case.
- To add an additional business case, click the business case name next to Business Case, and then click Add Business Case. For example, you might want to add a business case that reflects a different default scenario or has different model characteristics.
-
To exclude a model from a business case during rollup, but keep it in the scenario rollup structure, select the model, and from the Actions
menu, click Exclude Model, and then select
whether to exclude From the Parent Business Case or
From All Parent Business Cases. When a model is
excluded from the parent business case, [Excluded] is
displayed next to the model name. When a model is excluded from all parent
business cases, [Excluded from All] is displayed next to
the model name.
For example, there could be a model where the additive process for rolling up does not apply. For example, non-currency accounts such as inflation rates and price/quantity relationships would not make sense to include in the scenario rollup.
- To remove a business case, select the business case from the Business Case list, and from the Actions menu, click Remove Business Case.
