Simple Aggregation Level

The following example demonstrates how the system works when a key figure value is changed (manually or automatically).

Assuming there is an basic InfoProvider suitable for planning with the characteristics product, product group, version and year, along with the key figure revenue. The aggregation level ALVL includes the same objects with the exception of the characteristic, product.

The key figure revenue includes the database aggregation SUM. Therefore, we get the following result when the transaction data for the aggregation level ALVL is read from the database without restriction:

If the revenue is changed from 30 to 40 and is saved as a new value, the system writes a new record with the difference of the key figure value to the basic InfoProvider:

In this type of delta records, all characteristics of the basic InfoProvider, that are not included in the aggregation level, are assigned the initial value (not assigned: #). (Here we assume that no derivations were used. For more information on this concept, see Characteristic Relationships).
