| Driver based | Multiply amount of customers with avarage spend, Plan salaries using hours and hourly salary, Use reference value like number of weekend days in a month multiplied with another value |
| Percentage planning models | Personel side costs with pre defined percentage, product category sales margin as a percent from planned sales, set a cost based on sales etc |
| Summary and info rows | can be used in the planning model to give user information how for example Gross Margin % will set, how many weekend days are in planning round. |
| Monthly or annual input | Plan on annual level and distribute values to monhts using pre-defined multipliers, previous year actuals, previous input or evenly. Or change individual month manually. |
| One account - multiple costcenters input | Set numbers to one account over multiple costcenters at once. |
