Can anyone guide me as where have I gone wrong in this activity
Hello @Winter01 ,
You are actually quite close to the correct solution.
Regarding the 1st week period, I recommend you to read the link below:
https://help.anaplan.com/3b64fe69-0d31-49b8-ab40-e7c1a3d01137-INPERIOD
In essence, " INPERIOD(Date to test, Time period) ". Note that the Time period is optional. By using the INPERIOD you obtain directly a boolean response (e.g., TRUE or FALSE). When using this, alongside the CURRENTPERIODSTART(), (e.g., INPERIOD(CURRENTPERIODSTART()) ), you would be defining when the 1st week of the period took place.
If you combine this, with a similar formula to the one you provided," IF NOT 'SYS01 Time Settings By Week'.'1st Week of Timescale?' THEN PREVIOUS(Ending Inventory) ELSE 'DAT01 Beginning Inventory'.Beginning Inventory ". It should work, while it would allow you to reduce one of your line items.
Hope it helps, please let us know if that is not the case.
Kind regards,
Bruno Rodriguez
@BrunoRodriguez Still stuck...
Hey!
Beginning inventory: IF NOT 'SYS01 Time Settings By Week'.'1st Week of Timescale?' THEN PREVIOUS(Ending Inventory) ELSE 'DAT01 Beginning Inventory'.Beginning Inventory
1st week of Timescale?: INPERIOD(CURRENTPERIODSTART())
Please remember that your line items had a slight different name, such as "First Week of Timescale?". Once you amend this - better to enter the formulas manually rather than copy and pasting- it should work.
Hope that clarifies it!
I don't think it's working for me
Hello!
It is actually working. As you can see Beginning inventory is "Ending Inventory" -in this case 0, when is not the 1st week of timescale.
If you were to add the equation for this line item " Beginning Inventory - Forecast Demand + Confirm Purchase Order Receipt ", this should automatically fill up once all the information is in there.
Apologies it took me a while to realise about this too!
Hello Bruno
This post of yours was very informative, Thank you so much for sharing. I am facing issue with Confirm purchase order receipt line item formula. Please throw some light. Thank you.
I think the issue is actually in your DEM03 Module. I notice your Forecast Demand is zero. That shouldn't be.
If you select the Candyate account, is there a forecast demand amount?
If you select "All Accounts" in DEM03 is there a forecast demand amount?
If you answers are Yes and No, then check the summary method for forecast demand in blueprint view.
I am trying to create a Net Debt / EBITDA formula at the bottom of one of our P&L income statements where, i have tried the MOVINGSUM function. However this does not work for summary line items which EBITDA is. What i would like is to be able to sum the previous 12 months EBITDA (Including the current period) numbers in a…
Hi I'm looking to speak to people who have used/are using the Docusign integration in their business. We are exploring the possibility, but we find the current setup quite limiting in terms of how an end user would interact with the integration, but also issues with concurrency and number field formats. Would appreciate…
A quick reminder of the Bulk Copy functionality. Bulk Copy allows you copy large volumes of data from one slice of a model to another in a single, optimised operation, instead of using formulas or imports. Use case: copy a version (RF1) into a prior year version (PY RF1) using a versions list to allow for year-on-year…
