Overview of Simulations

You can perform simulations directly in a sales and operations plan. Make demand and supply changes in a sales and operations plan and run the plan. You can then analyze plan output coming from these changes.

You can make adjustments to editable measures and entity attribute values within the same plan, or make a plan copy that references a base plan. When you make a copy, you can use the plan comparison feature to analyze the differences between plan runs.

If you use the same plan to simulate plan changes rather than making a copy, use the Archive plan action to create an ad hoc archive. Then, use plan comparison to analyze the differences between the plan and the archived version.
