Hey there, the beautiful thing about Anaplan is that it isn't an out of the box solution but rather a modeling platform that you can configure based on your company's processes and needs. There is no prescribed best way to forecast SG&A - the answer is always "it depends".

Curious to hear how comfortable people would be with AI-generated Anaplan models and what level of validation you would expect before using the output.
The July and August releases added several useful capabilities to Anaplan AI, including the ability to create and retrieve saved views and create list import actions. It would be valuable to extend these capabilities to support the full end-to-end user story: creating a saved view and using it as the source for an importβ¦
