Approving changes to a scenario part

You can inspect all the sales activities from the sales activity list. If a forecaster has changed a scenario part in a package and uploaded the changes to the M3 DMP server, the action status of the affected sales activities describes the suggested modification of the scenario part. You can inspect the effects on a scenario part by selecting Scenario Part Properties .

You can also inspect the sales activities in the pivot sheet by selecting Sales Activities > View Scenario Part . The scenario part with different activity state is colored differently if Coloring on Scenario Part View setting is selected.

  1. To make decisions on the suggested changes, you can accept or reject the suggestions.
    This table shows the description of the actions:
    Option Description
    Accept Action Select one or more scenario parts and accept the requested changes using Accept Action . The accept action updates the information on the scenario part in the change list and makes the corresponding updates in the database to the forecast. Once the action is accepted, the action status is cleared.
    Reject Action Select one or more scenario parts and reject the requested changes using Reject Action . The reject action updates the information on the scenario part in the list to its original values. The corresponding updates in the database to the forecast are deleted. Once the action is accepted, the action status is cleared.
  2. During the following forecast cycles the updated scenario parts are included in the packages. If the scenario parts are not accepted or rejected by the administrator, they are not included in the package until the administrator accepts or rejects them. During package creation, the administrator is informed if this occurs.
  3. To remove scenario parts from the list, select the scenario part and click Revoke and Delete Scenario Part .
