global assumptions - Details

• 
  Key Concepts: 
  Global assumptions are a feature of SAP BusinessObjects Planning and Consolidation (EPM-PLA) that allow users to create a single set of assumptions that can be applied to multiple planning models. This helps to ensure consistency across models and reduces the amount of time spent on manual data entry. Global assumptions can be used for both financial and non-financial data, such as currency exchange rates, inflation rates, and sales forecasts. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use global assumptions in SAP BusinessObjects Planning and Consolidation, users must first create a global assumption set. This set can then be applied to multiple planning models, allowing users to quickly update assumptions across all models. Global assumptions can also be used to create scenarios, allowing users to quickly compare different sets of assumptions. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating global assumptions, it is important to ensure that the assumptions are consistent across all models. This will help to ensure accuracy and reduce the amount of time spent on manual data entry. Additionally, it is important to regularly review and update global assumptions as needed.
