Documentation
Definition
This lets you set the maximum number of value fields which the operating concern can contain. The system uses this number to calculate the blocking factor. The blocking factor determines how many period values can be stored in the plan line items (Tabelle CE2xxxx) and in the segment level (Table CE3xxxx).
Use
Since the database system can only contain up to 255 fields in a database table, a large number of value fields requires a smaller blocking factor.
Examples
A blocking factor of 4 means that the months 1 to 4 of a year are stored in the first period block, months 5 to 8 in the second period block and months 9 to 12 in the third period block.
Instead of 12 records, the system only needs to read three records from the database to determine the monthly values for one year.
Procedure
Choose the number of value fields that you really want to define in the operating concern. A small blocking factor increases the data volume and consequently slows down the Information System.
Do not store value fields which you could also calculate from value fields!
Once you have created the tables in the database system, you can no longer change the blocking factor.
