What is a stratum in terms of planning time units?

A stratum refers to an individual time unit with a specific name and code within the context of planning time units. In Workday Adaptive Planning, a stratum helps to categorize and manage different time periods for various planning purposes. Each stratum is typically defined to represent distinct intervals, such as days, weeks, months, or fiscal years, allowing for structured and organized planning and analysis.

By assigning a specific name and code to each stratum, users can easily identify and utilize them in models, reports, and forecasts. This organization enhances both the clarity and effectiveness of the planning process, as it allows for precise time-based data segmentation and reporting.
