Which areas should be considered when designing a workflow?

• A. How data is loaded, Scenario Types, and Entities and their relationship to Workflow Profiles
• B. Accounts and their relationship to Workflow Profiles; Scenario Types; Performance of Calculations and Consolidations
• C. How data is loaded, Scenario Types, and Accounts and their relationship to Workflow Profiles
• D. Data Security, User Roles, and Archive Procedures

Answer: (A)

When designing a workflow, focus on how data moves through the system, the planning or scenario contexts you’ll use, and how accounts map to workflow governance. How data is loaded defines the sources, timing, and validation that feed the workflow, setting up input quality and timing for every step that follows. Scenario Types establish the data context for the workflow—whether you’re processing planning scenarios or actual data—which drives which steps run and which calculations apply. Accounts and their relationship to Workflow Profiles determine what data elements participate in each workflow stage and how routing, security, and consolidations are applied, ensuring the right accounts trigger the correct approvals and processing. Other options include items like performance of calculations and security or archiving procedures. Those are important in broader governance and optimization, but they’re not the core design areas that shape how a workflow operates, flows, and is controlled.
