This page displays the planning periods, defined time intervals that are used for all planning data, and their descriptive names, used in the app. It also allows you to adjust the periods to match your business calendar.

Seasonal Periods

The setup of seasonal periods is managed by Anaplan at system setup. However, you may need to remove periods to match your calendar.

Every period displays in a grid, with its Period Number and DisplayName. A Delete? check box displays to the right of each period.

Steps

To delete one or more seasonal periods:

  1. In the Seasonal Periods table, check the Delete? field for any period you want to delete.
  2. Select the Delete Seasonal Periods button to start the action.
  3. A confirmation dialogue displays to initiate the process. Select Run process.

Additional information

The number of seasonal periods should match the calendar. If the model is using a Calendar type of ‘Months/Quarters/years’, then the number of periods to be set up will be 12. If the model is using a calendar type relating to Weeks, the number of periods set up would be 52/53.

This is a one-time task at system setup.
