Scenario Service
Description
The Scenario Service is focused on the management of scenarios. All forecasts in the system are directly related to one or more scenarios. The default scenario is the COMMON scenario. Users have the ability to copy to and from the COMMON scenario. Users enter forecasts by manipulating speculations, including adding or removing allocations.For any given combination (CO/GL/(Line Item/Person/Rate)/SpecType) only one speculation is allowed in a scenario. Speculations can also focus on CO or person Metadata.
Assumptions are used to track global information that effects all cost objects/people in the scenario and can include: Merit Increases (By employee category), Inflation (to handle tuition/stipend inflation) and adjustments to Global base rates.
