Description

Flexibility when distributing the periods: Equally over twelve periods or by reference dates

Determine period distribution for the history-based scenario

History-Based: Distribute data to periods (STS)

4MCBSTS4

The distribution to reference data is provided. To convert, you must change the planning function and the parameter group.

For the status and tracking service (STS) the planning functions refer to the version sent for approval.

History-based: Distribute data to periods

4MCBPS02

The distribution to reference data is provided, to convert, you must change the planning function and the parameter group.

Here the planning functions refer to the current planning version of the planner in the Web UI.

Compilation of functions into corresponding groups

Prepare automatic period distribution

Total period distribution (STS)

4MCBSTS6

Here all the STS period distribution functions are linked with one another. The planning functions refer to the version sent for approval.

Total period distribution

4MCBPS06

Here all the period distribution functions are linked with one another. The planning functions refer to the current planning version of the planner in the Web UI.

This sequence contains the period distribution and creates the manager's data.

Submit for approval

4MCBPS03

This sequence contains the following functions:

·        A status check, whether the submitting is allowed

·        The period distribution for the Web UI

·        A copy function of the current planner data from the current version into the version sent for approval

·        A create function for the data of the version sent to the manager for approval

·        A function that changes the status
