Why Scenario Planning is a Must-Have Skill for Today’s FP&A Teams

August 7, 2025 by Revelwood

In today’s fast-changing business environment, agility is everything—and that’s where scenario planning becomes indispensable. In a recent episode of FP&A Done Right – The Podcast, titled Scenario Planning: Critical for Today’s FP&A Professionals, we unpack why this strategic tool is no longer optional for finance teams looking to stay ahead.

From Forecasting to Future-Proofing

Traditional forecasting often relies on a single set of assumptions, which can leave organizations vulnerable when the unexpected happens. Scenario planning, by contrast, allows FP&A professionals to explore multiple “what if” scenarios—ranging from best-case to worst-case—and understand the impact of various drivers on business performance. This proactive mindset transforms finance from reactive scorekeepers to strategic advisors.

Embedding Scenario Planning into the FP&A Process

The episode offers practical advice on how to build scenario planning into everyday FP&A workflows. It’s not just about having the right tools—it’s about having the right mindset and processes in place. The hosts emphasize that companies that make scenario planning a core part of their planning cadence are better equipped to respond to disruption, adjust course quickly, and make more confident decisions.

Real-World Lessons and Examples

Listeners will hear how companies are using scenario planning to navigate challenges like inflation, supply chain volatility, and changing customer behavior. By testing different assumptions and modeling potential outcomes, finance teams can guide their organizations through uncertainty with greater clarity and confidence.

Bottom Line? Be Prepared.

Scenario planning is more than a buzzword—it’s a critical capability for modern FP&A teams. If your finance organization isn’t already prioritizing it, this episode might just change your mind.

Understanding Drill Down in Web Reporting

August 6, 2025 by Sarah Hildenbrand

Drill down reporting is a powerful feature in Workday Adaptive Planning Web Reporting. It allows businesses to dive deeper into data for more precise insights. Here’s a quick guide to understanding its benefits and how to use it effectively.

Why Drill Down Reporting is Crucial

  • Uncover Hidden Insights: Identify trends or issues not visible at a high level (Can see variances or changes at children levels, accounts, dimensions and attributes).
  • Better Decision-Making: Understand why performance changes, helping refine strategies.
  • Targeted Reporting: Focus on specific metrics relevant to your department or team (marketing, sales, product, expenses, personnel).

How to Use Drill Down in Web Reporting

1. Go to Web Reporting and click on the “Edit” button on the report you are working on.

2. Select the “Report Properties” gear on the back end of the report.

3. Choose which Adaptive elements you want available for the drill down and click “Apply” (levels, accounts, attributes, dimensions). This also helps clean up the drill down options.

4. Save and run the report and go to the front end and click the component you want to drill.

Workday Adaptive Planning for Managing Cash Flow

July 25, 2025 by Revelwood

This post continues our series on how we use Workday Adaptive Planning to solve problems. Each blog post focuses on a real-world client experience where Revelwood was presented with a unique or thorny problem.  We’ll explain our approach to how we solved it.

Revelwood Client: A construction company that prides itself on building homes that “just feel right.” They build quality-made homes across Easter Pennsylvania, in Berks County, Chester County, Lancaster County, Lebanon County and more. 

Problem: Managing Cash Flow

Scenario: Cash flow is one of the biggest challenges facing home builders. A home building company will get a down payment from a client, after which the construction company relies on bank loans per project to cover the labor and material costs until the home is finished and turned over to the new homeowner. It sounds simple – except when faced with variable costs for labor and goods, delays for materials and a multitude of new projects at various levels of completion. This company needed insight into how the increasing costs and delays impact any one project. They also wanted to understand how the sum of the current projects relate to cash flow and the company’s ability to sign contracts with new clients.  

How We Helped: Revelwood integrated Workday Adaptive Planning with MarkSystems Home Builder Software. Revelwood built a cash flow model that incorporates detailed loan information. The cash flow modeling, analysis and reporting solution relies on data sets for “draws.” A draw schedule is a detailed payment plan that determines when a bank will disburse funds to the home building company. The company how has a sophisticated and comprehensive view of cash flow based on projects, payments and milestones.

Using Integration to Hard Code Calculated Values

July 23, 2025 by Mary Luchs

While it’s super helpful to have the ability to lock your plan versions in Workday Adaptive Planning, it’s not a perfect solution all the time. A “locked” version will prevent users from entering new data or updating formulas, but the formulas themselves are not prevented from recalculating when the formula input values change. This becomes particularly problematic when we are using time modifiers in our formulas. 

The most common example I encounter is when we’re using some sort of trailing average calculation to populate a budget. For example, if you’re creating a 2026 budget with trailing 12 month average calculations for your operating expenses, those 2026 values will continue to change until 2025 is closed. While there are many formulaic ways around this, I like the option to use an Adaptive data source integration to hard code the values and prevent future changes to the data. 

Using an Adaptive data source integration works really well when we are using shared formulas, since they are natively able to be overridden. You can manually override these formulas by typing over them in a cell on a sheet in Adaptive, but you might not know that you can override them through an import as well. A general overview of the process is as follows:

  • Adding a new source to your Adaptive data source for the data you want to hard code (You will need to create a “Workday Adaptive Planning” data source as a planning data source if this hasn’t been done yet. A helpful walkthrough of this step can be found here). 
  • Creating a Planning Data Loader that takes that formulaic data from the staging table and pushes that same data back into the same data intersections as hard coded values.
  • Running that loader for the version and time periods you want it to run for. Running the loader is what triggers the formula overrides.
  • As the last step, lock the version you pushed into so that the hard coded values that were integrated cannot be changed in the future.

Once this loader is set up, it can be easily reused by changing the versions and the time periods it’s being run for. It is a great process to have in your back pocket for preventing changes in your budget versions.

Planning, Budgeting, and Reporting: The Tech Sector’s Imperative for Modernization

July 3, 2025 by Revelwood

Today’s competitive technology industry relies on more than innovation in products and services—it requires innovation in how companies plan, budget, and report. According to a recent IDC study sponsored by Workday, technology organizations are feeling the pressure to modernize these core finance processes to stay agile and competitive.

The Cost of Outdated Finance Processes

The report highlights that manual finance processes, such as budgeting, forecasting, consolidations and reporting, are holding many tech companies back. These outdated methods are time-consuming, costly, prone to inefficiency and have the potential for human error. Over a third of surveyed organizations reported that slow, rigid, and siloed planning and budgeting processes prevent them from responding effectively to rapidly changing market conditions.

The result? Limited visibility into financial performance, constrained ability to pivot and delayed decision-making. These factors can erode competitiveness in a fast-moving industry.

The Call for Connected, Cloud-Based Planning

To address these challenges, tech firms are prioritizing investments in modern, connected cloud services. The benefits of this approach are clear:

  • Faster, data-driven decision-making: Cloud-based systems offer real-time visibility into financial, operational and external data, improving forecasting accuracy and business agility.
  • Streamlined planning cycles: With automation and AI-powered insights, companies can shift from static annual budgeting to dynamic, continuous planning.
  • Improved reporting and compliance: Modern platforms reduce reliance on manual data entry, minimize errors and accelerate time to close, moving toward the vision of a zero-day close.

Why Modern Planning Technology Matters Now

The IDC study found that 56% of technology leaders consider finance their top priority for modernization. This underscores the urgency to transform planning and reporting systems. Tech leaders recognize that without modern, configurable technology, they risk falling behind in operational efficiency, decision velocity, and profitability.

Key drivers behind this push include:

  • The need for more agile processes that can keep pace with evolving business models.
  • The pursuit of better customer satisfaction, as accurate forecasting supports reliable delivery and service.
  • A commitment to innovative business models that require adaptable financial frameworks.

The Path Forward for Tech Companies

To compete effectively, technology companies must:

  • Replace manual processes with automated solutions that simplify complexity and reduce time to insight.
  • Standardize business processes across the enterprise to enable consistency, compliance, and faster decisions.
  • Prioritize continuous planning and forecasting to ensure resilience in the face of change.

Those that invest in these capabilities will not only enhance their financial operations but also position themselves for sustained growth and competitive advantage.

Revelwood is dedicated to helping the Office of Finance succeed through the strategic use of technology. For 30 years we have partnered with CFOs and FP&A leaders to modernize and transform the Office of Finance. Our approach is to focus on success, speak business first and to leverage best-in-class technology that suits your organization’s unique needs.

Workday Adaptive Planning Tips & Tricks: Replacing Nested If-Statements With The Use of SWITCH Formulas in Workday Adaptive Planning

July 2, 2025 by Cameron Burke

When writing out formulas in Workday Adaptive Planning, it is common to come across multiple conditions that require complex logic to calculate correctly. Many model builders rely on nested “if” statements to handle these scenarios, often resulting in a very long formula. As the number of conditions increases, these nested “if” statements quickly become difficult to read, maintain, and debug.

The “SWITCH” function is a great solution to offer a cleaner and more structured way to write this same logic. Let’s explore the benefits of using SWITCH formulas and compare them to the traditional nested “if” statements.

Consider this example

We’ll start out simple. Imagine you are creating a formula to calculate the price per doctor’s appointment, depending on different offices. Appointments cost $300 at office 1, $275 at office 2, and $250 at office 3.  

In a traditional “if” statement, the formula might look something like this:

    iff(this.Office.code = “Office 1”, 300,

    iff(this.Office.code = “Office 2”, 275,

    iff(this.Office.code = “Office 3”, 250, 0)))

How a SWITCH Formula Works

While this “if” statement isn’t too long, a SWITCH can clean it up a bit. Here’s how it would look:

SWITCH(this.Office.code,

            “Office 1”, 300,

            “Office 2”, 275,

            “Office 3”, 250, 0)

The first value in the formula is what you want to compare against the list of values that follow.  In this example, the office code is the value we want the formula to look for. Next, the values of office codes are listed, followed by their respective appointment costs. This formula essentially reads the exact same logic as the “if” statement: if the office is office 1, the appointment cost is 300; if it’s office 2, then 275, and if it’s office 3, then 250, and if it’s none of those, then 0.

Now let’s add some more complexity.

Consider this example

Imagine you are creating a formula to calculate the price per doctor’s appointment, this time dependent on both different offices and different doctor types. Dentist appointments cost $300 at office 1, $275 at office 2, and $250 at office 3. Let’s say orthodontist appointments cost $250 at office 1, $300 at office 2, and $350 at office 3…. and so on for multiple combinations of doctor type and office number.

In a traditional nested “if” statement, the formula might look something like this:

    iff(this.Doctor_Type.code = “dentist” and this.Office.code = “Office 1”, 300,

    iff(this.Doctor_Type.code = “dentist” and this.Office.code = “Office 2”, 275,

    iff(this.Doctor_Type.code = “dentist” and this.Office.code = “Office 3”, 250,

    iff(this.Doctor_Type.code = “orthodontist” and this.Office.code = “Office 1”, 250,

    iff(this.Doctor_Type.code = “orthodontist” and this.Office.code = “Office 2”, 300,

    iff(this.Doctor_Type.code = “orthodontist” and this.Office.code = “Office 3”, 350,

    0))))))

While this formula does work, it is:

  • Difficult to read
    • Repetition can make it hard to follow the logic.
  • Hard to debug
    • If one condition is incorrect or an additional condition needs to be added, finding the right spot can be frustrating.
  • Error prone
    • Long nested formulas are more likely to contain syntax or logical errors.

The Solution: a SWITCH Formula

Workday Adaptive Planning’s SWITCH function would work much better to create a formula handling multiple conditions like this. A switch formula relaying the same logic could look something like the following:

 SWITCH(this.Doctor_Type.code,

        “dentist”, SWITCH(this.Office.code,

            “Office 1”, 300,

            “Office 2”, 275,

            “Office 3”, 250,

            0

        ),

        “orthodontist”, SWITCH(this.Office.code,

            “Office 1”, 250,

            “Office 2”, 300,

            “Office 3”, 350,

            0

        )

)

How it Works

The first value in the formula is what you want to compare against the list of values that follow.  In this example, the doctor type is the first value we want the formula to look for.  

  • For doctor type “dentist,” we have another SWITCH embedded, this time looking at the office code.  
  • Next, the values of office code are listed, followed by their respective appointment costs.
  • This formula essentially reads the exact same logic as the nested if: if the doctor type is dentist AND the office is office 1 (the second SWITCH looks for office code after the doctor type), the appointment cost is 300; if it’s dentist and office 2, then 275, and so on!
  • Then, once all of the offices are listed under the “Dentist” SWITCH, the same is written out for orthodontists, with the respective offices and price per appointment.

Why SWITCH Is Better

  • Improved Readability
    • SWITCH formulas are cleaner and easier to read. The logical flow is clear: first check the Doctor_Type.code, then check the Office.code. Each block is neatly separated, making the formula less overwhelming.
  • Easier Maintenance
    • Adding or modifying conditions is much simpler with SWITCH. For example, if a new condition for “Office 4” needs to be added, you can insert it directly into the relevant block without reworking the entire formula.
  • Reduced Errors
    • With SWITCH, there’s less nesting and fewer opportunities for syntax errors (e.g., missing parentheses). Each condition is self-contained, making the formula more robust.
  • Logical Separation
    • The SWITCH function inherently separates different parts of the logic into manageable sections. In the example above, you can clearly see separate blocks for “dentist,” and “orthodontist,” which improves clarity.

Real-World Benefits for Model Builders

As a Workday Adaptive Planning model builder, using SWITCH formulas can save you significant time and effort, particularly when:

  • Handling complex logic with many conditions.
  • Working on models that require frequent updates or changes.
  • Collaborating with other team members who need to understand your formulas.

Switching to SWITCH will make your models easier to maintain and improve overall performance. While nested “if” statements have their place, they can quickly become unwieldy as your formulas grow in complexity.  The next time you’re faced with a complex decision tree in your model, give the SWITCH function a try. You’ll wonder why you didn’t make the switch sooner!
