Scenario-Wide Settings (SAP Library - Merchandise and Assortment Planning)

Scenario-Wide Settings

Use

The following settings need to be determined for the whole planning scenario:

Database currency:

All plan data is stored in the database in this currency. Make sure that actual data is also stored in the database currency.

Special planning levels:

Use these settings to allocate particular semantics (for example, planning level "article") to the selected planning levels . This information is, for example, necessary

within Article / Characteristic Planning

for using the master data attributes supplied (also see Defining Planning Layouts under Definining an attribute column - Supplied planning attributes)

within Listing from manual planning.

SAP BW Connection:

This switch determines whether the function "Read from BW actual data" is available within the selected planning scenario.

For more information,see Connection to SAP Business Information Warehouse.

A prerequisite for this is that the connection to the SAP BW is also activated in the cross-scenario settings.

SAP BW configuration:

If the connection to the SAP BW is active you need to establish the assignment of planning scenario fields in SAP R/3 to the InfoObjects in SAP BW. This mapping is necessary to be able to read the SAP BW data in the database tables for planning.

Article / Characteristics Planning

This switch determines whether the function "Article / Characteristics Planning" is available within the selected planning scenario.

For more information, see Article and Characteristics Planning.
