What is meant by Plan variants?

These variants can contain different assumptions, scenarios or parameters to reflect different possible developments or decisions. Plan variant software offers functions to create, compare, analyze and manage these alternative plans.

- Flexibility to change variables such as sales forecasts, cost assumptions or market factors.
- Comparison and analysis:
- Ability to compare plan variants directly with each other to identify differences in targets, costs, resources, etc.
- Analysis tools to understand the impact of changes in one variant on others.
- Versioning:
- Ability to version plan variants to track changes and revert to previous versions.
