Override Management

Use this view to edit overrides that have already been submitted or to resolve conflicts between overrides. You can also remove overrides that have already been applied or resubmit overrides that have been impacted by other activity.

Filter

Provides a way to show a subset of the overrides based on the values in the table. This is useful when working with more overrides than can be viewed in the height of the window. For columns with character values, you can filtera set of specified criteria that are applied to data in order to identify the subset of data for a subsequent operation, such as continued processing. the results based on any string in a cell. This includes the formatted date values in the Time Period column.

For numerical values in the Forecast, Override, Number of Series, and Final Forecast columns, you can filter based on the first digits in the cells. For example, entering 10 can display rows with values like 104,663.00 or 1,000. For cells with numerical values that do not start with 10 (for example, 510.00), these rows are not displayed when the filter value is 10.

Including the comma separator for numerical values is optional.

Use the following actions to manage overrides. All of these actions are also available when you right-click in the Override Management table.

Submit pending

Submits all pending overrides listed in Override Management. This performs the same action as submitting pending overrides in the Forecasts and Overrides table. After the values are disaggregated to the lower levels in the filter, the overrides are moved to applied status if no conflicts are found. If conflicts are found in any overrides, they are moved to conflict status and you must resolve the conflict before you can proceed any further with overrides.

Undo last submitted

The last submitted overrides are in Applied status. Click this button to move the last submitted overrides to Pending status. After performing this action, you can either delete or resubmit specific pending overrides.

• If the last submitted override has been archived, this action is disabled.
• If you have any overrides with Pending status, they must be removed before you can undo the last submission.

If you have selected a single override in the table, this opens the Override Calculator with the settings for the selected override. You can make changes to these settings using the Override Calculator. For more information, see Override Calculator.
