New on the Shelf: Growth Factors Cannibalization + Planning Group Pivot

Fresh from Confido: new visibility into cannibalization within growth factors, smarter planning pivots, and a couple UI updates to make day-to-day forecasting smoother.

📈 See Cannibalization on the Growth Factors Page

You can now view cannibalization directly on the Growth Factors page.

Until now, cannibalizations weren’t visible outside of their linked opportunities — making it tricky to review or roll back adjustments. With this update, you’ll have full access to view and manage cannibalizations directly within Growth Factors, giving you a clearer understanding of impact and a streamlined way to roll things back, when necessary.

📊 Planning Group Pivot in Net Sales View

We’ve added the ability to pivot the Ship-To Net Sales View by Planning Group — giving you new ways to compare consumption and forecasted revenue side by side.

See consumption data displayed alongside Planning Group rows, mirroring the structure of your forecast.
A new Adjustment Row now captures order adjustments, distributor accruals, and other revenue differences — keeping everything reconciled in one view.
We also pass through the Planning Group on the forecasted revenue side to ensure apportioning and pipefills appear accurately.

In short: easier to analyze, cleaner to compare, and far more flexible for planning discussions.

✨ UI Updates that Just Make Life Easier

Hide Distribution Centers When Not in Use — Distribution Center rows will no longer appear in forecasts unless DC apportioning is enabled. Keeps your Ship-To grids cleaner and focused on the data that matters.
Standardized Forecast Export File Names — Exports now include key identifiers (version name, units, detailed timestamp, and company name) to make file comparison and sharing much easier. No more duplicate file names or manual renaming post-export.

ICYMI: Trade Calendar Preview in Scenarios 🗓

Reviewing promotions just got easier. Instead of clicking line by line, you can now preview an entire Scenario’s Trade Calendar in a single calendar view — making it simple to spot date or overlap issues before finalizing your plan.
