Purpose: 

This enhancement allows constants to renew automatically for a set number of upcoming months. 

Access: 

This setting is located in Hierarchy and available only to users with the d2o role. 

What’s New? 

Two new chain-level settings are available in Hierarchy when the Planning module is selected in Settings: 

• • Enable constant auto-renewal 

• • Choose auto-renewal period (in months) 

When enabled, constants will automatically renew each period, based on the number of months set in Hierarchy. For example, if you’re in October 2024 and have set the period to 20 months, constants will be copied from November 2024 through June 2026. Constants are copied from the corresponding month of the previous year, so March 2025 will use data from March 2024, for example. 

Details: 

• • Renewal periods can be set between 1 and 24 months. 

• • The renewal process updates daily at 22:00 CET. 

Benefits: 

Constants are automatically updated in each new forecasting period, so users don’t have to remember to renew them manually. For more info on how constants are used, check out this article.
