Documentation

Definition

The planning parameters define various data, values, and options which form part of planning. The system includes various transactions with which you can maintain these parameters.

The planning parameters are divided into one general part, and application-specific parts for General Ledger and Controlling. In the general part, you define the following data:

• Dividing your planning parameters into classes ensures that certain planning parameters can only by used for particular applications, such as General Ledger, Cost Center Accounting, or Orders.
• Start and finish of the periods you want to plan
• You can define a period interval. If you enter 1, planning takes place in every period between the from and to periods. However, if, for example, you want to plan only every third period, enter period 3-12 with interval 3 instead of period 1-12 with interval 1.
• You can enter a rate type here, so that you can carry out currency translation at rates applying only to planning. This rate type defines the type of translation in the rate table. SAP delivers the bank buying rate, bank selling rate, and average rate as standard. However, you can define your own rate types and include them in the planning process.
• In the planning parameters, you can define various options - such as distribution keys. You can split these by quantity and value field groups. For the characteristics of a dimension (such as cost centers 4711, 4712, or cost elements 400000, 420000), you can also define whether only values (e.g in cost elements 400000, 420000), only texts (e.g. in cost elements Consumption, Raw Materials, Production Wages), or both are to displayed.

The special part of the General Ledger contains the following information:

• The set name defines the dimensions to be planned. You can enter basic, single, or multi-dimension sets. Create and maintain the relevant set in the set maintenance transaction.
• In planning, you can enter both plan values and plan quantities. Depending on the ledger, the plan values can be in transaction, company, and/or group currency. If you plan such a value-field group manually, the other field groups, which are not to be planned manually, are determined automatically. You can use additional quality fields as well as the normal ones. You also define which of the field groups appears first in the overview or period screen.

The special part contains the following information for controlling, split by planning area:

• In direct cost planning, you can maintain both cost and usage values. You can manage your costs in various currencies. In these fields, you determine which of the cost field groups are planned manually: all the others are calculated automatically. An exception is the transaction currency, which you must plan manually or not at all. The planning parameters also determine which of the field groups appears first in the period/overview screens.
• In activity type planning, you can maintain the activity quantity, capacity, output, and the unit price in company currency, and the unit price in object currency manually. As in direct cost planning, the other group in each case is calculated automatically from the rate field group maintained manually.
• When planning CO activity input, you can plan the overall consumption only. In addition, you can display the rates defined in the sender as part of activity type planning. The debits, taken from the activity input and the rates, then appear in the various currency field groups. You can display them.
• When planning statistical ratios, you can plan the current value and a maximum quantity. Here too, you can display only the field groups which you can plan manually with this parameter.
