People Planning Calculations
Hello, I am wondering if anyone would be will to help me with a business rule for our people planning. I am not sure how to read these, but I am trying to determine where in the rule it's tellin...
so now, are you seeing the employees in those departments getting numbers for all periods? Also your calc is getting data from the cube, so could it be that there is no data there in the cube for those periods?
Hi aorange,
Can you not share more detail here? This is what the community forums are for rather than taking things offline. Help, if offered, is offered with the understanding that it is free for all with access to the forums to learn from.
There are a few places your period limitation could be coming from:
1. People Planning settings, e.g., default plan start/end period, plan period scenario settings. This might be the case if it is the start or end periods not getting calculated.
2. Calculation Plan Period Filter or Conditional Execution Statement conditions
3. If it is a BR being used in the allocation method (which it sounds like it is), then the logic in that BR. It might be a period limitation or it might be that the calculations in certain periods just equate to 0.
If you have ruled out the first 2 options I would suggest sharing the code that is being executed (ensuring to remove anything confidential)

Hi Daniel,
Thank you for the reply. The calculation is pointing to a business rule. I wasn't sure what to look for in the rule and didn't want to post the entire rule, it's quite long.
How it's currently working is it's calculating period 1 and then skipping periods that would be actuals. There is a period filter, but it's always calculated all 12 periods in the past. We moved to a rolling forecast and I think something was overlooked in the process.
Here is the period filter:
Are there some keywords or expressions I should look for in the business rule? I am wondering if it has something to do with this? I apologize I don't know business rules. Any push in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
