Open balance for the upcoming list item

Hello,

I have to build a module in anaplan where I have to calculate the remaining hours in a month after an employee is working on a project.

Let me to explain more:

I have this "X" Persona that in a month is working for 3 different projects. This persona has been allocated on the first project with 5 days, then will be a balance of 15 days. Then, this balance needs to be the availability for the next project.

There is an idea how can we build this in anaplan?

  • Hi @fpopa,

    For this case you can create 5 line items:

    Initial Availability: refer to 20 in your example ( doesn't apply to projects)
    Availability: Balance + Allocation
    Allocation: input field or refer to existing data
    Cumulative allocation: cumulate (Allocation, TRUE, ***Name of projects list***)
    Balance: Initial availability - Cumulative allocation

    All Line Items should apply to persons and projects

    Kind regards,
