  • Implementation steps and best practices.
  • A review of Planning’s ASO limitations, including but not limited to:
    • Planning does not support running business rules against an ASO Plan Type.
    • Planning does not support member formulas in an ASO Plan Type.
    • Planning does not support dynamic time series in an ASO Plan Type.

    • Planning does not support Approvals in an ASO Plan Type if an approval dimension is missing.
    • Planning does not support ASO Plan Types in EPMA apps. “Limitation” or “Feature” . . . you decide.
    • ASO Plan Type licensing requirements.
  • Creative workarounds for these limitations.
    • How to simulate running a business rule against an ASO Plan Type.
    • How to load member formulas to an ASO Plan Type.
    • How to “roll your own” dynamic time series in an ASO Plan Type.
    • How to “roll your own” Essbase security filters AND keep them in sync with Hyperion Planning security.
    • How to accommodate Approvals with an ASO Plan Type.
    • There are no creative workarounds for the licensing requirements . . . unless you’re a thief.
  • How to correctly set end-user expectations with regard to these new features.
    • Getting “creative” is rarely cheap, fast or easy.

This presentation will present a solid understanding of Planning’s new ASO features and limitations, as well as a host of best practices. Attendees will receive documented code samples and a full LCM export of the demo application.
