Article summary

  • 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.

Note:
Use of the Simulation Engine is typically reserved for an Administrator. The Simulation Engine can be run locally or scheduled to run on the Planful server.
