Workday-Adaptive-Planning practice question 4 of 10

A company is using a Month > Quarter > Year rollup structure indicating that the month is the lowest level of budgeting. Why should an implementer ensure that every day of the calendar year is listed in the instance?

Full set: 61 questions

Answer options

A: This is to store daily exchange rates that will override any existing monthly amounts for daily transactions.

B: Multiple periods in the same stratum can contain the same day, so you must identify the gaps.

C: The goal is to ensure your instance knows where each individual day fits into your time structure. Correct answer

D: This is only for an instance where the company needs an alternate reporting calendar in days.

Correct Answer:

C. The goal is to ensure your instance knows where each individual day fits into your time structure.

Explanation

Time strata roll-ups rely on every calendar day being mapped so the system can determine to which month, quarter, and year each transaction or plan value belongs. Missing days break period aggregation and reporting integrity.

Why Incorrect

A. Daily FX rates are optional and unrelated to period mapping.
B. Duplicate-day overlaps are impossible when days are fully listed.
D. Applies to all instances using standard or custom time structures, not only alternate calendars.
