Use
In this IMG activity you define a planning scenario that you use for planning with Express Planning in the SAP NetWeaver Portal . You can find additional information on using Express Planning in the SAP library under Cross-Application Components -> Express Planning.
For each planning scenario you create at least one Express Planning instance. If you create several instances, you can use the planning scenario for more than one planning round. You can additionally define a context area in which information for the planner can be displayed in the portal.
Requirements
The plan versions defined in the instance are available in the IMG activity Maintain Versions.
Standard settings
The planning scenario Express Planning: Cost Center Planning (0_CC_EXP) is contained in the standard delivery, which you can use an example. For additional information on this example, see the SAP library under Cross-Application Components -> Express Planning -> Example Scenario for Cost Center Planning.
Activities
You create a planning scenario under Scenario -> Create.
Under the Specification Work Area node you can then define the steps and substeps of the planning scenario. To do this, place the cursor on the higher-level node and from the context menu choose Insert Step/Substep.
You can also use all steps and substeps across a range of scenarios. When you do this, you have the option of either creating the subordinate elements of a scenario again by copying, or including them as a reference of the original.
You make the basic settings for a substep. You use this to include a planning service and define its parameters. If you want to change the standard selection of the object types for the planning service, enter a personalization dialog at the level of the planning scenario that contains the required object types.
You can enter an RFC Destination for some substeps. You can specify a different system in the RFC destination than the one that is linked in the portal. The planning service then determines the data in the system specified in the RFC destination when you execute planning.
To define an instance for the planning scenario, place the cursor on the Specification Instance node, and from the context menu choose Insert Instance.
Under the Specification Context Area node you can assign steps and substeps of a planning scenario an explanatory text, a document or a URL. To create a new entry, place the cursor on the higher-level element and from the context menu choose Insert Section/Item. You can change the sequence of the context area sections using the arrow keys.
For additional information regarding the settings options, see either the documentation for the fields, or the SAP library under Cross-Application Components -> Express Planning -> Configuring a Planning Scenario. You can also access this documentation by choosing Help -> Application Help.
