Enable demand currency view

Switch to the demand currency view to track the planned costs of a demand in the selected currency.

Important:

Demands are available in the Next Experience for Demand Management. For more information, see Next Experience for Demand Management.

The workspace provides additional value beyond the legacy experience, including Playbook, Docs, and the ability to define different governance processes using playbooks.

If you have Portfolio Planning Workspace or Strategic Planning Workspace, you can use the Next Experience for Demand Management to create and manage your demands.

  • New customers: Use Next Experience for Demand Management to create and manage your demands.
  • Existing customers: If you already have demands in the classic UI, you can continue using it. However, we recommend moving to the Next Experience for Demand Management, as your existing demands are automatically available there.

Before you begin

Activate the PPM Standard Multicurrency (com.snc.ppm_multicurrency) plugin.

Role required: admin or it_demand_manager

  • Multicurrency fields in demand-related forms
    When you enable the Demand Currency view in a Demand, Cost Plan, and Cost Plan Breakdown forms, you can observe the multicurrency fields in the Financials section of the forms.
  • Allocate demand budget in demand currency
    Set the capital expense (Capex) and operating expense (Opex) budgets in demand or functional currency according to the fiscal years. The sum of the Capex and Opex budgets is calculated as the total budget in demand currency.
  • Cost plan updates and cost recalculation in demand currency
    Updating the unit cost, quantity, or fiscal period of a cost plan updates all the related amount fields in the cost plan and its breakdowns. Also, the amounts in the related fields of the demand, to which the cost plan is rolling up, are recalculated and reflected in the demand currency.
  • Benefit plan updates and recalculation in demand currency
    Updating the entered currency, entered benefit, offset type, or the fiscal period of a benefit plan also updates all related amount fields in the benefit plan and its breakdowns. Also, the amounts in the related fields of the demand, to which the benefit plan is rolling up, are recalculated and reflected in demand currency.
