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!

This shows all comments across all data to all users with access to the UX page. This is not appropriate for any UX which might contain security access sensitive data. Comments on grids and cards ARE security dependent. That works fine. But anyone with access to the page can open this Summary Panel and see ALL comments…
If anyone is aware of idea exchange ideas that are currently being evaluated by the product team, if you don't mind linking them here, would love to give them an upvote. Thanks!
