Anaplan allows planning at different level of detail using its multi-level master data. Is there functionality like automatic aggregation/disaggregation? Is there data available over a time horizon?
Pooja,
Using list hieararchies, Anaplan will aggregate to all levels of the hierarchy and you can add time as a dimension to modules to see the accumulation by time in addition to the hierarchy level. Think of it as a rubiks cube. All you have to do is make sure you have applied the Summary settings on each of your line items to get these aggregations and also make sure you are using lists that are parented to each other.
Thanks alot Keith. So if I understand correctly Anaplan is extremely customizable in how you want to slice and dice the planning data.
Can you help me understand how the planning functionality offered by Anaplan is different from order by order planning followed by SAP ?
Anaplan is totally flexible on how you set it up to do planning. There are good ways and bad ways of constructing models though. I would highly encourage you to spend some time taking some of the trainings available as well as reading the Planual for best practices within Anaplan construction. If you are new, they all may not make sense at first, but as you start building, the concepts will become clear for you. As for differences, I am not an SAP expert, but I do know that you can configure Anaplan to perform your planning process in whatever order you need, part of what makes it so great!
@rob_marshall I feel like you would be able to answer my question, and if you can't then no one can. My question is - using selective access on a hierarchy level I want to be able to look up the user that has access to a particular level within the hierarchy so that I can create a standardized e-mail using the mailto…

Hi! I'm currently trying to set up an example for the forecaster and I'm running into various issues. At first (and I managed to resolve it by now) my data collection creation failed without any error messages. Next, after I managed to create it, my forecaster model is stuck on status 'creating' for 1.5 hours already. Is…
