difference between winter tree and summer tree 1

[satinsilhouette]

I am trying to understand the trees in PSFT EPM 8.9. I am making some assumptions, I am hoping someone can tell me if I am correct or not.

A winter tree would be pretty simple, not have any leaves on it as opposed to the summer tree which would be pretty full with lots of leaves?

Thanks!

Thanks so much!

Hi Satinsilhouette,

You are right - and Peoplebooks does not really provide much more detail than this. Summer trees do have leaves (and are referred to as 'detail-oriented' trees) - these usually have the lowest level of detail in the hierarchy recorded as leaves - usually used with GL reporting. Winter trees are also referred to as 'node-oriented' trees - these are most usually department trees - i.e you have the department hierarchy, level structure - but not using leaves to represent positions or account codes etc.

Probably not that useful an explanation - but there are a few examples in the Tree Manager Peoplebook.

Hope that helps

notadba Thank you for your response. This seems to be a slow moving forum. Which surprises me for how many companies are implementing PSFT. Is there another forum somewhere else someone could direct me to?

Thanks for your answer!

Thanks so much!
