Excluding LFSO Internal Location Types

LFSO internal location types determine how LFSO processes data for different types of locations. The following table lists the default LFSO location types and their IDs:


LFSO Location Type	ID
CORPORATE ENTITY	0
STORE	10
DEPARTMENT	11
DRIVER	12

The application uses the EXCLUDE_SO_INTERNAL_TYPE_IDS registry parameter to determine which LFSO internal location types to exclude from the budgeting modules. This parameter also controls which forecast methods are displayed in the Forecast Generation page.

Do not change this parameter after setting it up.

By default, the value of this parameter is 12, because the budgeting process includes both the STORE and DEPARTMENT LFSO location types and excludes drivers. The budgeting process never uses the DRIVER location, so it must always be excluded. For Labor Budgeting, the EXCLUDE_SO_INTERNAL_TYPE_IDS registry parameter must have one of the values from this table:


Module	Supported Plans	Uses Data from These LFSO Location Types	Displays These Forecast Methods	Value of EXCLUDE_ SO_ INTERNAL_ TYPE_IDS
Budget Management	top-down forecasts	STORE	Budget Adjusted Trend Growth Adjusted Trend Trend of Historic Averages	11,12
Budget Creation	bottom-up projections	STORE DEPARTMENT	Bottom Up - Growth Adjusted Trend BUP - Trend of Historic Averages Budget Adjusted Trend Growth Adjusted Trend Trend of Historic Averages Note: Even though all forecast methods are displayed, only the Budget Creation forecast methods are supported.	12

For a list and descriptions of forecast methods, see Forecast Methods.
