What's New in Lucanet xP&A?

In Lucanet xP&A, you can now select two data levels for each currency relation when using exchange rates from Consolidation & Financial Planning for currency translation: one for the periods up to and including the last actual date of a model, and one for the periods after it. This lets you translate actual periods with your actual exchange rates and forecast periods with your planning exchange rates.

You can configure this in the Exchange rates section: in your organization's currency settings in the columns Before last actual and After last actual, and in the model settings in the columns Before and After. At model level, the columns are only available if the model has a last actual date.

For more information, see Using Currency and Currency Translation.

The HiBob connection in Lucanet xP&A now provides the new FTE (timeseries) variable, which contains the FTE (full-time equivalent) percentage of each employee per month, based on the employment history in HiBob. The new variable lets you report actuals correctly when an employee's FTE percentage changes over time.

The existing FTE variable is unchanged and still contains the FTE percentage that is currently in effect. Existing HiBob data sources receive the new variable with their next refresh.

For more information, see Connecting to an HRIS/Payroll System.

When exporting a model, you can now include its linked dimensions in the export.

To do so, select Export linked dimensions on the Content page of the export dialog:

To change your number format, open your user account at the bottom of the main menu and select Formatting preferences:
