Financial planning systems: plan versus actual without another export

Planning tools hold the budget and forecast versions; the ERP and warehouse hold actuals. Most variance questions need both, at the same grain and for the same version.

These connectors will read plan versions, dimensions and line items under each planner's access, so a variance answer can name the version it compared.
