Analyzing business data for planning applications
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for analyzing business data for planning applications, comprising:
- generating, by operation of at least one computer, a business object containing parameters and plan data of a business plan, wherein the plan data is represented by a hierarchical plurality of aggregation levels and logically grouped at different levels of granularity at each aggregation level;
identifying a change to a particular item in the plan data, the change associated with a particular aggregation level; and
distributing the change to the particular item to a lowest level of granularity of the plan data of at least one aggregation level above and of at least one aggregation level below the particular aggregation level.

Abstract
The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for providing efficient planning through analyzing data. One process includes operations for generating a business object containing parameters and plan data of a business plan, the plan data represented by a plurality of aggregation levels. A change to a particular item in the plan data is identified, the change associated with a particular aggregation level. The change to the particular item is automatically propagated to a lowest level of granularity of the plan data, and the change to the particular item is available to each of the plurality of aggregation levels.
