Creating the Review Structure

You can create the review structure for end users, reviewers, and administrators for the distributed forecasting process on the Review Structure setup page.

To watch a training video that explains this process, enroll in the FPS Distributed Forecasting - Creating a Review Structure training video course on Jack Henry University. You can also enroll in the Distributed Forecasting in Financial Performance Suite learning plan.

If you are licensed for Distributed Forecasting, then there are several ways for end users, reviewers, and administrators to communicate regarding the status of the organizational forecasts that they are responsible for.

When adding a model on Setup > What If Models, if you set Review Structure to Yes, then you must set up a review structure hierarchy. This hierarchy defines who users must submit their budgets to for approval. You can also set up multiple review chains for your financial institution if your review process requires it.

Select Setup > Review Structure from the menu.
Select Add to begin the process of adding a review structure.
Select the user who is the final reviewer and has the final review authority for this review chain.

Users are grouped by user roles.
Select Add.
The new final reviewer appears in the hierarchy panel. You can repeat the final reviewer selection process if you are setting up multiple review chains.
Select the check box next to a user for the next level of review in the Reviewees field.

When you select the check box, the user appears in the hierarchy panel as a reviewee under the reviewer that you currently have selected.
Continue to add users to the review chain to build the review structure.
You can only add each user to one place in one review chain to prevent circular referencing problems.
