To set up weekly planning for 18 continuous months in Oracle Planning 2024's Financials module, specific options must be selected when initially enabling features via the Configure card. The three required options are:
A . Time Frame Granularity: Incorrect. This is not a specific option in the Enable Features page; granularity (e.g., weeks) is controlled by Weekly Planning, not a separate setting.
B . Rolling Forecast: Correct. Enabling Rolling Forecast allows planning over a continuous 18-month horizon, dynamically updating as time progresses, which aligns with the requirement for ongoing weekly planning.
C . Weeks to Months Mapping: Correct. This option defines how weekly data rolls up into monthly totals, essential for reporting and analysis over the 18-month period in a weekly planning setup.
D . Weekly Planning: Correct. Enabling Weekly Planning sets the periodicity to weeks instead of months, allowing budgeting and forecasting at a weekly level for the 18 months.
E . Custom Periods: Incorrect. Custom Periods allow defining non-standard time periods, but they are not required for weekly planning over 18 months---Weekly Planning and standard calendar setups suffice.
The Oracle documentation confirms that Rolling Forecast, Weeks to Months Mapping, and Weekly Planning are the key features to enable for weekly planning over an extended horizon like 18 months, making B, C, and D the correct answers.
