Abstract
A method for managing plan problems across planning cycles includes accessing a first plan generated in a first planning session of a first planning cycle, identifying one or more first plan problems reflected in the first plan, and storing and persisting plan problem data associated with the one or more first plan problems for access in one or more successive planning cycles. The method includes accessing a second plan generated in a second planning session of a second planning cycle subsequent to the first planning cycle, identifying one or more second plan problems reflected in the second plan, and comparing the one or more first plan problems identified for the first planning cycle with the one or more second plan problems identified for the second planning cycle. The method includes determining, for each second plan problem identified for the second planning cycle, whether the second plan problem corresponds to any first plan problem identified for the first planning cycle. The method includes updating the plan problem data for the corresponding first plan problem to reflect the identification of the second plan problem for the second planning cycle if a second plan problem id…
