Urgent Issue!! Forecast at Month level to split across week

Question

Hi,
I have a requirement where user will enter forecast at month level and they wish to split the value at week level automatically in the input schedule / reports.
For e.g.
        Jan      Feb     Mar

Answer 1

Ok, here is a code example.  This assumes that we're only interested in the EXTSALES account but works for any requirement.  The time and category dimesion properties are used to limit the scope and perform the time redirection.
Properties
In the category the property [YEAR] gives the yyyy value for the budget input category NBUDGET
In the time dimension the property [WEEKSINPERIOD] give the number of weeks in each of the month input members.  This is the denominator to spread to the weeks.  The [INPUTPERIOD] property is used to associate a week with the monthly input member.
Dimension Members
In the time dimension the hierarchy is Weeks > Months > Quarters > Year.
To perform the monthly input there is a dummy hierarchy that holds the input members.  Remember, the hierarchy has to be balances so dummy rollups are setup to put the input members at the month.  A partial hierarchy for this is:
YEAR.INP
+ QTR.INP
++ 2007.INP
+++ 2007.JAN.INP
+++ 2007.FEB.INP
+++ 2007.MAR.INP
In the real time members, 2007.WK1 would rollup to 2007.JAN and so on.  The INPUTPERIOD property on 2007.WK1 would be 2007.JAN.INP
With that as a background, here is the code example:
//Build the list of weeks in the current budget year and get thier input member property
*SELECT(%BUD_YEAR%,"[YEAR]","CATEGORY","[ID]='NBUDGET'")
*SELECT(%WEEK_LST%,"[ID]","TIME","[LEVEL]='WEEK' AND [YEAR]='%BUD_YEAR%' AND [GROUP] <<>>'INPUT'")
*SELECT(%MTH_INP%,"[INPUTPERIOD]","TIME","[LEVEL]='WEEK' AND [YEAR]='%BUD_YEAR%' AND [GROUP] <<>>INPUT'")
//only look at records in the scope for sales and monthly input members
*XDIM_FILTER ACCOUNT=EXTSALE
*XDIM_FILTER TIME = %MTH_INP%
//only run for the budget input category
*WHEN CATEGORY
*IS "NBUDGET"
     //loop through the weeks in the budget year
     *FOR %WEEKS%=%WEEK_LST% AND %MTHS%=%MTH_INP%
          //when the time of the current record equals the input value on the week
          *WHEN TIME
          *IS %MTHS%
               //take sales divided by the weeks in the month and write the value to the week
               *REC(FACTOR=1/FLD(TIME.WEEKSINMONTH),TIME=%WEEKS%)
          *ENDWHEN
     *NEXT
*ENDWHEN
*COMMIT

I just noticed that the forum posting read my not equal signs in my select statements as control characters and displayed nothing.  I've inserted <<>> into the code for the not equal operator however, the actual symbol should be the standard left arrow right arrow with no space.
