Question: In relation to allocation methods in People Planning, is it possible to show some examples of dynamically pulling data from the cube using a Business Rule or Xfcell? When would one be used over the other?

Answer

•There are a number of substitution variables available which can be used within the allocation methods. These can be used to create the allocation (e.g |Wage| * |Bonus|), however, they can also be used with XFCell and XFBR strings to retrieve data from a cube for use in the calculation:

•XFBR string provides the ability to call a business rule and pass in arguments.  These should be used where logic is required or conditions need to be processed.
