What is the purpose of importing levels in Workday Adaptive Planning?

The purpose of importing levels in Workday Adaptive Planning is to adjust levels without impacting direct levels. This functionality allows users to modify or reorganize the structure of levels within their plan without altering the foundational layers that define the hierarchy or relationships in the data structure. By enabling adjustments to be made at the level of user-defined hierarchies, organizations can remain agile in their planning processes, ensuring that they can accommodate changes in business needs or strategies without disrupting the core data integrity.

This approach provides flexibility when businesses need to analyze different scenarios or when reporting requires changes to hierarchies. It empowers users to maintain accuracy in their planning without necessitating a complete overhaul of the underlying structure, highlighting the tool's efficiency in sustaining dynamic planning environments. The ability to adjust levels in this way contributes to more precise forecasting and resource allocation by allowing organizations to respond quickly to shifting conditions or requirements.
