Monthly View

Our Monthly View is designed to seamlessly and automatically distribute new values across segments and days. For this reason, an input here that exceeds available capacity cannot be saved.

If you input a Unit value in the monthly view that exceeds available capacity, FLYR will automatically redistribute your values up to the available capacity. The Unit total for that month will be capped at this available capacity and the value you see in the cell will be adjusted upon Save to your available capacity.

Detailed View

Our Detailed View is designed to support maximum flexibility across segments and days. For this reason, any Unit input here that exceeds available capacity can be saved, but will require manual redistribution to lowest granularity.

What does this mean for you?

If Unit values are updated via KPI edit:

OR at the unexpanded, parent data level in By Segment view:

OR at the unexpanded, parent data level in By Segment view:

... automatic redistribution will only happen up to the available capacity amount. Any remaining unit values will need to be manually updated at the By Day + By Segment level.

Example

This user has updated the Unit forecast in the KPI header to 1600, with a property capacity of 1470. User then selects Redistribute -> Distribute to Lowest Granularity. However, there remain 140 units above available capacity that FLYR cannot automatically redistribute.

To resolve this conflict, the user can now expand at the day or segment level and manually redistribute the remaining 130 units to the appropriate day/segment combinations.

Updates can now be saved and forecasted (or budgeted) units will reflect above the property capacity.
