Overview

Starting with SAC QRC2 2025, the Compass Monte Carlo modeling tool allows users to use drivers to influence outputs like revenue, expenses, headcount, etc. Not all drivers support value configuration (e.g., they can’t participate in random sampling or dynamic value testing).

Compass provides the following Value Configuration labels

  • Deactivated
  • Restricted Drivers Attached
  • Unsupported Aggregation Configuration
  • 0 or Unbooked Baseline
  • Mixed Currencies or Units

A new “Value Configuration” column has been added with specific labels, which help users understand which drivers are supported and which are not supported and why they are not supported.

Here is an example:

Driver Name Value Configuration Value Configuration Status
Price Inflation Rate
Supported
Active
FX rate USD to EUR
Mixed Currencies or Units
Warning
Volume Baseline Q1
0 or Unbooked Baseline
Inactive
Sales Rate
Supported
Deactivated
Labor Cost Multiplier
Restricted Drivers Attached
Limited
Energy Cost Index
Unsupported Aggregation Configuration
Warning

Drivers not supported can be removed by:

  1. Selecting the Select Drivers icon
  2. Choosing Remove Drivers Not Supporting Value Configuration
