Scenario Dimension

The Scenario dimension represents a set of data such as Actual, Budget, or Forecast. For example, the Actual scenario can contain data that reflects current business operations. The Budget scenario can contain data that reflects targeted business operations. The Forecast scenario typically contains data that corresponds to predictions for upcoming periods. A Legal scenario can contain data calculated according to legal GAAP format and rules.

By default, the system creates the Actual system Scenario member. You can create additional Scenario members.
