How to Move all Employees from One Scenario to Another?

To move all employees from one scenario to another in Planful, you need to seed the data from the source scenario to the target scenario. This process includes transferring Workforce Planning data such as employee details and compensation. Here's how you can do it using the Plan Scenario type.

1. Navigate to Maintenance > Administration > Scenario Setup.

2. Create a new scenario and choose Plan Scenario as the Scenario Type.

3. Go to the Data Seeding tab. The Enable Data Seeding checkbox is selected by default and is read-only for Plan Scenarios.

4. Choose a Reference Scenario (the one from which you want to move the employee data).

5. Overlapping periods are automatically mapped; for out-periods, you can select the source period manually.

6. Workforce Planning data (including employee records and compensation) will be transferred along with other templates.

7. After seeding, execute the Simulation Engine to ensure all data and formulas, including sublines, are properly recalculated and saved.

8. You can verify the transfer by reviewing the templates or running a Seeding Exception Report from the Scenario List page.

This process essentially replicates employee data into the new scenario, allowing continued planning without manual re-entry.
