I am looking for documentation on the calculations done and details behind the Copy Master Plan Between Scenarios session

I have a scenario with monthly buckets, and one with weekly buckets. I want to copy my demand forecast from the monthly scenario to the weekly one, but before I do that, I want to make sure it is going to copy it over correctly, look at calendar lines etc.

The copying is quite simple.

First all demand is distributed over the working days and then the new periods are filled with the demand again.....

For example: monthly periods with 20 workable days and DF of 20 results in daily DF of 1.........(1 on a workable day and 0 on non workable days)
Copy this into a new scenario with weekly periods (with 5 workable days) and you will get weekly DF of 5

When you have different DF per month, this will result in a 'gradual' rise/drop in weekly DF in the 'breaking' week....

(at least this is how I made it 2 years ago.......don't know if someone changed it.........)
