Consequences of updating the TIme of a model on existing data ?

m.drancourt

Hi ,

Budget for fiscal year 2018 is used in several models .

In september 2018 , we will start the budget campaign for fiscal year 2019 .

Time in the models is defined as followed :

- Current fiscal year : FY17

- Number of past years : 1

- Number of future years : 1

- Current period : Week 35 FY17

What should i change in order to be able to import the real figures from 01 to 08 2018 and to be able to let users enter datas for simulating budget 2019 ?

I don't need to keep the real figures for 2017 and the budget datas for 2018 and i would like to save as much space as possible .

What are the consequences if i change "CURRENT FISCAL YEAR" to FY2018 and current period to Week 29 FY18 ? : Will i lose the datas ( real and budget) for 2017 ?

Thanks for your advice

Hi,

Given your settings, I'm guessing you have FY16 in your model.

If you shift to FY being FY18, then you will loose FY16, not FY17.

Have a look at the rime ranges functionality: if you need it you can create a time range that still has a past year on put some module on it so you keep the data.
