For the Make Period and Movement Dense feature, which Data Storage option must be set for Movement parent members?

• A. Dynamic Calc
• B. Store
• C. Never Share
• D. Ignore

Answer: (A)

Make Period and Movement Dense relies on dynamic calculation for the Movement parent so values can be propagated and recalculated on the fly across periods without relying on pre-stored data. Setting Movement parent members to Dynamic Calc means those members aren’t stored themselves; instead, their values are computed as needed during dense processing. This enables the dense layout to function correctly and efficiently, especially when moving or distributing values across periods.

If you chose Store for the Movement parent, the data would be persisted for the parent, which conflicts with the on-demand, calculated nature of dense movement processing and can lead to incorrect results or reduced performance. The other options don’t support the required on-the-fly calculation behavior needed for this feature.
