Consequences of updating the TIme of a model on existing data ?

m.drancourt

Hi ,

 

Budget for fiscal year 2018 is used in several models .

 

In september 2018 , we will start the budget campaign for fiscal year 2019 .

 

Time in the models is defined as followed :

 

- Current fiscal year : FY17

- Number of past years : 1

- Number of future years : 1

- Current period : Week 35 FY17

 

What should i change in order to be able to import the real figures from 01 to 08  2018  and to be able to let users enter datas for simulating budget 2019 ?

 

I don't need to keep the real figures for 2017 and the budget datas for 2018 and i would like to save as much space as possible .

What are the consequences if i change "CURRENT FISCAL YEAR" to FY2018 and current period to Week 29 FY18 ? : Will i lose the datas ( real and budget) for 2017 ?

 

Thanks for your advice
