FCR: run calculations over multiple months

Today we can select within our Date dimension Total Year or Quarter. We would expect that the system with apply the calculation on the related months underneath. But this seems not to be the case. Only when we specify a single month the calculation will be applied. During year-end close we have to adjust certain movements over the full year. It would be much more efficient if we can select Total Year to execute a calculation from Jan-Dec instead of running the calculation month for month.

We are experiencing the same pain point when running calculations in FCR.

For the Run All process, the support team advised us that, by adding the parameter below, we would be able to run the process across multiple months. However, for other calculation processes, we are still waiting for a feature enhancement.

Many thanks Xian for sharing this!

Although I have admin rights I am not allow to edit the RunAll. I have requested the support desk for help. This change would be a great benefit! Next I will ask Anaplan to allow this parameter for other calculations too. I have also submitted another feature request for remaining parameter values for the calculations of the prior run.
