Configuration after importing the Budget

Configure this forecast execution group after importing the budget:

DFT FORECAST WORKSHEET EXEC GRP 2

Ensure that this data in the following columns is calculated accurately:

  • Payroll Percent - 60% Rule
  • Payroll Percent - Leverage
  • Sales - % Change from Budget

Budget Management compares the actual budget numbers against the adjusted values when it creates the budget. To do this, you configure the rules in DFT FORECAST WORKSHEET EXEC GRP 2 to use the sourceName parameter to reference it.

The following table displays the default values for rules in the DFT FORECAST WORKSHEET EXEC GRP 2:

Rule Name Rule Parameter
PAYROLL PERCENT LEVERAGE sourceVersionName=SYSFORECAST|targetVersionName=WORKING
SALES PERCENT CHANGE sourceVersionName=SYSFORECAST|targetVersionName=WORKING
PAYROLL ADJUST RULE sourceVersionName=SYSFORECAST|targetVersionName=WORKING| payrollAdjustment=0.6
PAYROLL PERCENT TREND sourceVersionName=MASTER|targetVersionName=WORKING
PAYROLL PERCENT TREND LEVERAGE sourceVersionName=MASTER|targetVersionName=WORKING
SALES TREND VARIANCE sourceVersionName=MASTER|targetVersionName=WORKING
