Waterfall Analysis
Use waterfall analysis in a table or graph to compare key measures in the current plan with the archived versions of the measures.
Select the Create a waterfall analysis check box from the Comparisons Options tab when you are creating or editing a table or graph. After you select the check box, make a selection in Measure Archives to Use. You can select any number of archives.
Select the Use MAPE calculations check box to use the archives created by your Supply Chain Planning Application Administrator on a scheduled basis. These archives contain the measures required to calculate the Mean Absolute Percentage Error. If the check box is deselected, then archives created by the planner are used.
Select the Automatically display waterfall analysis check box when you want to automatically display the table or graph in the waterfall format. The waterfall format includes the archived versions of the measure in the table or graph. If the check box is deselected, then the table or graph displays without the archived version of the measures. In such cases, the Analysis icon on the table or graph toolbar is used to display the waterfall analysis.
