53 week calendars

Paul

Hi all,

 

Two part question this, for anyone using a 53 week calendar:
1. Does Anaplan's 53 week calendar align with your company's calendar? 

2. When using weeks, do you use Anaplan's native time functionality or use Fake time lists?

I'm interested to hear not only your answers but any challenges you might have faced too.

In my previous company weeks were the timescale of choice and the main issue was about prior year comparative where it would go out of sync so would need to create a mapping module and "fix" the ones where the logic didn't work.

There is one model currently that we use where fake-time is being used but this is mostly because of needing to roll-up to real months and we haven't had the bandwidth to actually fix it so that we can use model time and all the benefits that brings (it's an internal team model so doesn't impact anyone)
