  • Consistent planning has been set for the information structure on which this planning type is based (in Set parameters of info structures and key figures of Customizing for Sales & Operations Planning).
  • A technical fiscal year variant has been generated for the information structure on which this planning type is based (in Set parameters of info structures and key figures of Customizing for Sales & Operations Planning).
