主要概念
Adaptive Planning

這些基本概念可幫助您了解規劃的作業方式。

實例和模型

An
instance
is the collection of structural components that define a fully-functional planning entity. Sometimes called an
installation
, an instance consists of a single set of accounts, organization structure, versions, dimensions, attributes, sheets, versions, permissions, fiscal years, integrations. Workday allows multiple planning instances.
Think of your
instance
as how your business exists within
Adaptive Planning
. It includes all your company's actuals and planning versions and all the related data, levels, and so on. The
model
of your instance refers to the building blocks, (the accounts, levels, assumptions and formulas).

Versions

There are 2 types of versions: actuals and plan versions. Actuals display real numbers of sales and costs that have already happened. Most instances have 1 root actuals. Your actuals can have more than 1 sub-version. Sub-versions roll up to the root actuals.
Plan versions contain forecasted or budgeted data. You can have more than 1 plan version.

假設

An
assumption
is a
global value that is accessible to all users when writing formulas in their own plans. Assumptions can vary over time and have different values in different versions, but will have the same value at all levels and in every account.
Assumptions are often associated with user-assigned sheets. These sheets let you see and update data to which you normally do not have access. For example, expenses from the IT department are allocated to all other departments based on the number of computers in each department. The IT manager does not have access to enter data in departments outside of IT. With a user-assigned sheet, the IT manager can enter the number of computers for each departments. The data can be used to calculate the IT allocation.

層級

Levels
are the organizational structures of your business. For example, levels represent departments, profit centers, cost centers, or geographical regions.
Level access is the primary way your admin controls which users can see which data. The levels a user has permission to see dictates the data they can view and update. Levels also help you filter data displayed on sheets.

工作表

Data Interface
Adaptive Planning
stores information, such as general ledger actuals, forecasts, personnel information and budgets.
Sheets
provide the interface for you to view, enter and update that data. With
Excel Interface for Planning
, you access the online sheets through Excel.
Values and Calculations
Values you see in a sheet may be calculated with data that is not displayed on the sheet. Likewise, data you enter or calculate in a sheet can affect values displayed in other sheets.
Adaptive Planning
formulas can only be entered online. They are either embedded in the sheet's cell by an admin or you can enter the formulas yourself. You can also just enter data without calculations. In
Excel Interface for Planning
, you can tell that a value is calculated with an
Adaptive Planning
formula when the text is italicized and you can drill down to see how it was calculated.
You can't enter
Adaptive Planning
formulas with
Excel Interface for Planning
for your sheet, but you can use Excel formulas to calculate data. Although the end value is saved the online sheets, the formula you used will not be saved. You can add them to a cell note instead.
Sheet Access
Sheets or portions of sheets can be restricted, so you may not have access to all sheets within your organization. Or, you may see a sheet, but you may not see the rows or columns that other users can see on the same sheet. Or you may see the columns and rows and their data, but you cannot edit the cells. For example, a sales-related user may have access to the sheet's expenses, travel, and other sales-related data, but not the data used by the marketing department.
If you think you should be able to enter or edit data that appears locked, be sure you are accessing the correct version and the correct level of the sheet. If the problem persists, get clarification with your admin on your user permissions.
