    • start year for planning/budgeting

  • Decimal places and scaling factor as default values
  • Detail planning (CO orders and projects)

Supplementary Documentation - BP_PROFIL 0001

Use

You can use the following parameters to control budget planning in cost center accounting:

  • Fix the past or future periods for which budgeting is possible
  • Define the start year, in which budgeting is to start
  • Define the scaling and decimal places for the value display in budget planning
  • Fix period or year planning
  • Define default values for the distribution key

Procedure

Enter a valid profile (use function "Input help" to display all the profiles) or enter a profile in cost center accounting customizing, under -> Planning -> Planning help -> Budget planning profile, and branch from there to -> Detail input -> Cost centers, to define your parameters.

Examples

Dependencies

If you carried out your initial budget planning with the "annual values" parameter activated, and later activate the "Period values" parameter in the profile, the system continues to display the annual values. Similarly, if you carried out your initial planning with parameter "Period values" activated, the system continues to display the period values if you later activate the annual values parameter.
