September 2024 Release Notes

Predict: Support to Enable Predict with 2 years of Historical Actuals

With this release, we have extended the support for enabling Predict to work with 2 years of historical actuals data, down from the previous requirement of 3 years. However, having 3 years of data is still advised for improved accuracy of Signals and Projections.

In Practice: Enabling Predict with 2 years of Historical Actuals

1. Go to Maintenance > Administration > Configuration Tasks > Planful: Predict.
   The Planful: Predict configuration page appears. 
2. In the General Settings pane, enable the Include GLs with 2 Years of Historical Actuals toggle.
   
3. Once done, click Save to trigger the Modal Training process.

Integration: Update BME support role via REST and SOAP API

With this release, developers can now use the IsBMEUser parameter to restrict or allow access to the Budget Manager Experience when creating a new user or updating user information via REST and SOAP APIs. This allows developers to control access to the BME, Full Experience, or both during user creation or modification.

Refer to the following articles for detailed instructions on using the APIs, which now include the IsBMEUser parameter.

• User Creation using REST API
• Update Support Role via REST API
