You are designing a new Planning application. Which two requirements dictate multiple plan types in a single
Planning application?
A.
Multiple currencies are required.
B.
Currency rates must be kept in a separate database.
C.
Sales are planned by product and channel, and salary expenses are planned by position.
D.
Security is applied to the Entity dimension but can differ for users for accounts “sales” and “expenses”.
E.
You have decided to implement the Capital Expense planning module in addition to PSL budgeting.
F.
Data cannot be shared across the Organization dimension.
Explanation:
C: When you define an entity member, you assign a plan type for which it is valid. If you do not assign a plan
type to a member, that member’s children do not have access to that plan type. If you move a member, and the
new parent of that member is valid for different plan types, then the member remains valid only for the plan
types it has in common with the new parent.
Your organization may require that different entity members prepare different plans. For example, in your
organization all entity members may submit expense plans, but entity members that are cost centers do not
submit revenue plans. When you define entity members you specify the plan types for which they are valid.
Because data forms are associated with plan types, this allows you to control which entity members can enter
data for each plan type.
E: You would need two plan type. To add a Capital Expense plan type to an existing application see Note
below.
Note: To add the Capital Asset Planning plan type to a Planning application:
1 In Performance Management Architect, select Navigate, then Administer, then Application Library.
2 In the Application Library, right-click the application to which you want to add the Capital Asset Planning plan
type, select Initialize, then select Capital Asset or Workforce and Capital Asset if the application will use both
plan types.
3 To confirm the initialization, click Yes.
