What's the best way to build a model to track and forecast the amoritization of deferred commissions? We know the amortization periods, deferred commssions on the balance sheet, and want to track the amortization over time in Anaplan.
I've resolved this in a much easier way using periods.
Your question is very large, but here's one thing: I'd say the "trick" is to have an additional time list (that you create) that you can cross with the anaplan time dimension in a module.

We've been building a tool called aplan4sheets and we'd genuinely like input from this community — both on what we've built so far and on what we should prioritize next. The problem we set out to solve: Anaplan's Excel add-in is Windows-centric, and there's no real native way to pivot Anaplan data in Google Sheets. We…
We are looking for Anaplan end-users to provide feedback on their experiences with the Excel add-in. Interested individuals will respond to this 5-minute survey to help us understand personal needs and behavior when using the add-in. The feedback provided by survey takers is essential to the roadmap of Anaplan's products.…
