Booking layers help you keep different data layers cleanly separate in reporting. Instead of mixing every value in a single layer, you choose exactly which booking layers a report should include.

Overview of booking layers with type, forecast status, and snapshots

​
What booking layers are for

Booking layers are suited to, for example:
  • imported accounting values
  • manual additions or corrections
  • forecast-like values
  • values from the personnel-cost logic
In the report you select exactly the layers that matter for your question.

​
Upload values to booking layers

Booking layers can also be filled through the Excel add-in and the Google Sheets add-in. That way you can write values from a spreadsheet model back into a specific booking layer in Fyvel, for example for planning, forecast, or modelled additions. The guide is under Upload values to booking layers. Add-in setup is on Excel & Google add-ins.

​
Why this helps

With booking layers you can:
  • keep actuals and internal additions separate
  • manage different planning views side by side
  • assemble reports flexibly for different audiences or occasions

​
Snapshots

A snapshot is a locked booking layer that freezes a specific set of figures. A snapshot does not store the underlying individual bookings. It stores the aggregated values at category and reporting-section level, including cost centers. That is especially useful when you want to:
  • keep the state when a plan is finalised
  • compare changes since an earlier cutoff date
  • document preliminary estimates
Changes to category mappings or reporting sections do not apply retroactively to snapshots that already exist. Old snapshot data stays unchanged. After it is created, a snapshot can be selected in reports and in the add-ins like any other booking layer.
