⚠ Quoting Roadmap Items

GA vs. Coming Soon
| Feature | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Application Framework (PAF) — all 4 models | ✅ GA | Admin, FP, HC, CE models all generated via wizard |
| Anaplan Data Orchestrator (ADO) integration | ✅ GA | Replaces data hub; 5 links require manual creation post-generation |
| Polaris engine — all 4 models | ✅ GA | Optimized for large data volumes; 8-dimension limit applies |
| Revenue & COGS Planning | ✅ GA | All planning methods available |
| Operating Expenses | ✅ GA | Including allocations (basic methods only) |
| Headcount (job-level) | ✅ GA | Employee-level requires OWP |
| CapEx Planning | ✅ GA | Entity-level only; no employee-level |
| Balance Sheet & Cash Flow | ✅ GA | Including indirect cash flow, sub-schedules |
| Top-Down Planning | ✅ GA | Manual target entry only — disaggregation not yet available |
| Reporting & Analysis | ✅ GA | IS, BS, CF reports + variance analysis + management reporting |
| Currency Translation | ✅ GA | Spot, average, closing, historical, and blended rates |
| Multi-Currency (multi-entity) | ✅ GA | Configured at generation time |
| Top-Down dynamic disaggregation | 🔜 Coming Soon | Planned for future release; no date confirmed |
| Finance Analyst / CoPlanner | 🔜 Coming Soon | Embedded in UX but not GA; do not scope or demo until confirmed |
| Waterfall / reciprocal allocations | 🔜 Coming Soon | No timeline — custom development required for now |
| Employee-level CapEx | ❌ Not planned | By design — use CE model for asset-level, OWP for employee-level |
| End-user Excel import templates | ❌ Not planned | Removed in v2.0; all data entry via UX or ADO flat file |
Application Framework Roadmap
- Centralized upgrades via PAF — customers receive IFP improvements without manual rebuilds
- Order Management team takes over Application Delivery process once all apps are on AAF
- Partner enablement materials updated with each major release
- Generation issue fixes (dependent dropdowns, line item codes) targeted in future PAF releases
Ecosystem Integrations
These products are separate applications that integrate with IFP — they are not part of IFP itself.
| Product | Status | What It Adds | Integration Pattern |
|---|---|---|---|
| Operational Workforce Planning (OWP) | ✅ GA | Position and employee-level headcount detail | OWP → ADO → IFP HC DAT module |
| Consensus Margin Planning (CMP) | ✅ GA | Revenue and margin planning from commercial/sales lens | CMP → ADO → IFP Revenue DAT module |
| Financial Consolidation | ✅ GA | Statutory consolidation and disclosure management downstream of IFP | IFP → ADO → Financial Consolidation |
| Workforce Budgeting (WFB) | 🔜 Coming Soon | Extended workforce cost budgeting — name TBC | Confirm integration pattern with Apps team |
