Management sets
-
a direction.
-
Grow revenue 5%.
-
What nobody has decided
-
is which products,
-
which customers
-
and which entities
-
that lands on.
-
Translating
-
that direction
-
is the planners job
-
and it sits in no report.
-
That's where the Board
-
FP&A agent comes in.
-
It proposes
-
the adjustment
-
and it writes it
-
back to the plan
-
with you in control.
-
A plan
-
only means something
-
when you compare it.
-
In Board,
-
we do that for you.
-
Open your plan
-
and see it against
-
last year's
-
actuals,
-
your current plan,
-
your operational
-
forecasts
-
and an external
-
economic forecast
-
all at once.
-
Alongside the numbers,
-
it explains
-
what's behind them.
-
Like software
-
demand in one region
-
or cost pressure
-
limiting shipments
-
elsewhere.
-
Still deciding
-
how to manage
-
such a multitude of data
-
and comparisons
-
can be overwhelming.
-
The agent lays out
-
the gap
-
between your plan
-
and the model, segment
-
by segment,
-
with the
-
suggested adjustment
-
for each one
-
below the numbers.
-
It tells you
-
what to check before
-
you act like,
-
whether the biggest
-
uplift
-
still makes sense,
-
or leans to
-
heavy on one segment.
-
When you're ready,
-
select Send
-
to Smart Import
-
and the suggested values
-
move straight
-
in your planning
-
workflow.
-
Your plan now
-
shows the agent
-
suggested quantity
-
right next to
-
your own target.
-
Nothing changes
-
until you select
-
Apply Agent Suggestion
-
and save it yourself.
-
Drill
-
down to the product level
-
to visualize
-
the distribution
-
of the newly suggested
-
quantity
-
by single product.
-
Apply
-
the agent suggestions
-
and open your PNL.
-
You'll find it in the
-
Agent Adjustment layer,
-
kept separate
-
from what
-
you submitted, ready
-
whenever you need it
-
to check it again.
-
So the plan moved
-
and every number
-
the agent
-
touched sits in its own
-
auditable layer,
-
separate from anything
-
a person typed.
-
The planner
-
still made the decision.
-
An agent that proposes
-
a human
-
who approves a plan
-
that stays auditable.
-
That’s what makes writing
-
back to the plan
-
something a CFO can
-
sign off.
-

-
you decide
-
what to changed,
-
,and defend it later,
