Dependency Planning

Prerequisites

If you want to carry out dependency planning without using the standard planner profile SAPR&R and the standard planning layouts that this contains, you must define your own planner profile and planning layouts for value-based and quantity-based dependency planning.

Procedure

To plan primary costs at dependency level, proceed as follows:

  1. Select a planner profile for dependency planning, for example the standard planner profile SAPR&R .

To do so, choose Start of the navigation path Accounting Next navigation step Controlling Next navigation step Cost centers Next navigation step Planning Next navigation step Set planner profile End of the navigation path .

  1. Choose Start of the navigation path Planning Next navigation step Cost element/activity input Next navigation step Change. End of the navigation path

  2. Choose a planning layout for value-based or quantity-based dependency planning.

To change existing plans or create new ones, choose Change .

You use a distribution key to distribute the plan values to the fiscal year periods. You can either select a standard distribution key or define your own. On the period screen, you can also distribute your period values manually to the individual periods.

If you change the dependency quantity or the dependency source quantity (quantity of a statistical key figure or an activity quantity) the system revaluates costs and consumption (see also Revaluating Dependency Planning ).
