Activating Line Item and Planning Integration

Procedure

You have options for setting the Integrated planning indicator:

In version maintenance as part of fiscal-year-based parameters

Make the settings in the Implementation Guide (IMG) under Activity-Based Costing ® Planning ® Maintain versions by activating the Integrated planning indicator in the fiscal year settings.

Caution

You can set the Integrated planning indicator in version maintenance only before posting plan data in the R/3 System.

In planning

If plan data exists, set the Integrated planning indicator in the Activity-Based Costing initial screen by choosing Planning ® Planning aids ® Activate integration.

The function has the following effects:

All existing plan data records for controlling area/version/fiscal year are updated as line items. The R/3 System transfers the line items to the AC interface.
The R/3 System transfers any existing line items from plan allocation (assessment, distribution, or accrual calculation) to the AC interface.

Caution

You can deactivate integrated planning only if no plan data exists.

Note

To avoid system performance problems, schedule the processing run in the background for periods of low system use. To do so, set the Background processing indicator.
