How does Smart Predict Support Currencies Defined in Planning Model?

Smart Predict supports the currencies defined in a planning model.

The planning model used as a data source might contain currencies. But how does Smart Predict support these currencies? It depends on how they are configured in your planning model data source.

When currency conversion is enabled, you can generate predictions in Smart Predict using the default currency or local currency to read and write data. Depending on your selection, the report for all your model entities are consistently expressed in one default currency, or multiple local currencies. For example, if the default currency is USD, you always see numbers expressed in USD in the Smart Predict report. If there are multiple local currencies in your planning model, the numbers in the Smart Predict report reflect these multiple local currencies.

When you select the Default Currency setting, you can only write to planning versions configured to receive default currencies.

When you select the Local Currency setting, you can only write to planning versions configured to receive local currencies.

Note

To understand the currency displayed in the report, you can check the Smart Predict settings, and the currency definition in your planning model. The default currency is indicated in the planning model.

Example

If you deal in Japanese yen, you would understand that your report is in Japanese yen, as your Smart Predict currency setting is Local Currency.

To learn more about how currencies can be set up in a planning model, see Planning with Currency Conversion.

Smart Predict can support currencies when they are set at the planning model level in the following cases:
