• F2G Scope : Full for Growth scope is a subset of Anaplan scope. We exclude Internal Labor, Commission on sales and Warehouse & Log Rental

So for instance, for a JV integrated at 50%, the costs are 50% of the original company's figures

• (B) When the button OPEX is blue, only OPEX is displayed
• (C) When the button Capital Leases is blue, only Capital Leases are displayed
