This tool provides a blueprint for the nuances of a ZBB model to allow an expedited implementation process. Within the model, pre-existing structures such as metadata, cost center mapping structures, and reports can be customized for a company’s framework, but the skeleton provided paves the path for the complex build requirements of a ZBB model within Anaplan. There is room for enhancement to launch further functionality within Phase 2.
