Plan Level Permissions - need a way to remove permission from all/multiple plans

Currently if we add/change a line (to grant or modify a permission) it can be selected by a tickbox and Published To All Plans, allowing us to sync them easily. If we need to remove a permission, there's nothing to select once the item is removed,...

Plan-level permissions should have a way to sync with the global permissions

Currently (Planning v 1.x) when a Plan is created, it takes the global permission set as a temlate, and keeps it. When we do an update - adding a new user, removing users, changing who edits which Cost Object, etc - this has to be made in every op...

Add ability to apply cost object permissions for a user to all plans

When adding a new user, the global cost object permissions are setup and will apply to plans created afterward. When adding a new user, we always want to grant them access to existing plans. Currently, this involves editing each plan's settings to...

445 Calendar - "Other" expenses, spread per calendar days instead of evenly spread

Using a FisCal setup with 445 weeks per quarter, one would expect that spreading of amounts entered in a quarter is spread by 4-4-5 weeks in P(1-3) instead of evenly between the 3 periods.

View updated Line Items option at grouped department level in ITP

We noticed that the option to “View Updated” lines in ITP is currently available only at the cost object level, and not at the grouped department level. It could be helpful if this functionality were also available at the overall plan level and ac...

Tree view for Projects dropdown similar to Departments dropdown in ITP

Projects dropdown will display top-level nodes with expand/collapse options to drill into lower levels. Provides clear visibility of hierarchy, improves navigation, and ensures consistency with the Departments dropdown. It will save time for users...

Variance analysis in the Contracts tab

Variance analysis in the Contracts tab would be a useful feature to include, to mirror existing functionality in the Labor and Summary tabs. This would allow us to see what changed vs prior plans at the detailed contract level.

Ability to set default plan for all cost center owners

Most of the times, we have to close existing plan to make way for reference data updates before creating a new one. Old plan we will archived it with a different name but the problem is when cost center owners login to Apptio planning, they are st...

Ability to open select lines on 'external financials' to make small edits (Admin Only)

We use the 'external financials' function heavily in our Planning environment, and we find it is very helpful in maintaining transparency and data quality control, as the lines cannot be edited by the user. We have ~87,000 lines of centrally agree...

Ability to import 'external financials' for "Labour" and "Assets" tabs in the "Planned" section, just like "Other" tab

We complete a large amount of centralised loads of data for forecasting purposes into "Other" tab, and it allows for greater transparency and control of data quality as these lines are locked for editing by a user. Unfortunately, the same function...
