Documentation

Definition

If you set this indicator, you improve performance. However, the system cannot save two planning types of an information structure simultaneously because ALL the key figures in the information structure are read when a planning type based on the information structure is saved.

If you do not set this indicator, the system automatically locks and saves only those key figures that are contained in one planning type. This means that two or more planning types of an information structure can be saved at the same time. Here is an example of where you would not set this indicator.

Example

Two planners are working on the same information structure, but in two planning types. They are planning the same periods and the same characteristic value combinations. They both save at the same time. One saves the key figure "sales." The other saves the key figure "production."

Use

If the situation described in the above example does not apply in your company, SAP recommends that you set this indicator.
