When to Use Simulation Engine

• Use the Simulation process when the following occurs:

  • Change to Allocation Mappings

  • Changes in Segment Hierarchies

  • Change in Reference Templates

  • Change in Spreads

  • Change in Scenario Seed/Seed Scenario Changes

  • Completion of sub-line formula adjustments as part of the Seeding process (when using a Plan Scenario type)

The Simulation Engine processes templates automatically instead of manually opening and saving the templates in order of dependency. The changes made to the templates are permanent. If a template is marked "Complete" or "Forwarded", the Simulation engine will override these settings.
