modules as categories

A questions came up on a support call the other day, asking how to insert a head office opex module into the Multi-Business Unit content.

As background to the issue: when inserting an opex module into a multi-BU model, the additional opex categories are added to the historial income statement, which also triggers the modules-as-categories mechanism, and adds three new business units.

The key to circumventing this is that you need to first insert spare categories into the historical income statement - via Insert rather than Insert Categories.

Hi

I'm currently developing a modular model for an organisation which has multiple business units (5) who each sell the same 4x product lines. I am building the model to be expandable as the organisation will likely open another 2x business units in the next year (with the same product lines) and more the following year
