IBP Snasphot functionality internal processing

[former_member222993]

We are implementing IBP Demand and have a question about systemic internal processing during snapshot execution

Scenario:

Key figure 1: KF1

Key Figure 2: KF2

Key Figure 3: SNKF2_1

KF1 has a calculation written to always default from SNKF2_1. KF2 has a calculation written to always default from KF1. Input in to snapshot operator is KF2 and output is SNKF2_1

After running the snapshot operator, what we are observing is that all 3 key figures are getting blanked out (all the 3 KF's had values prior to running the snapshot operator).

Given this scenario, question is...During the execution of a snapshot operator, is there a systematic internal blanking out of the snapshot output KF (SNKF2_1 in this example) at any moment before the actual snapshot runs?

Hi Mimi,

That is true, Snapshots are always replace action.

It first deletes the previous value and then captures from Input key figure.

Thanks,

Thanks for confirming the internal behavior Rohit.
