Tab: PlanningLocate this document in the navigation structure

On the Planning tab, you can make the structural element in question input-ready, meaning that it can be changed at runtime. If you also want to make aggregated values input-ready, you can set the disaggregation behaviour here, together with how aggregated values are distributed.

If you have defined a query on an input-ready InfoProvider, the system displays the Planning tab.

Input-Readiness of a Structural Element

The Input-Ready field allows you to define whether the structural element in question should be input ready when an input-ready query is run With structural elements that are not input ready, you can also set whether their values are viewed as reference data or are simply protected against manual entry.

Table 1: Input-Readiness of a Structural Element

Option

Description

No: Not input ready (not lock relevant)

The structural element is not protected by data locks for exclusive use by just one user, as these values serves as a reference for a large number of users.

This is the default setting.

No (Data Relevant for Locking): Not input ready (lock relevant)

If you only want to protect a structural element against manual entries from multiple users, but want it to be modifiable by planning functions for example, you can use this option to protect the data for a user with locks. This allows you to ensure that the planning function works with the displayed data only and not with data that has been changed by other users.

Yes: Input ready (lock relevant)

This data is locked for a user and is input ready for manual planning.

Planning on Cells with Aggregated Values

Disaggregation also allows you to changes values that are aggregated in terms of the aggregation level. To do this, the changed values must be distributed top-down to all data records that contribute to the aggregated values of the cell. We call this top-down distribution disaggregation.

Disaggregation for input-ready structural elements that contain a basis key figure with aggregation SUM

In the Disaggregation field, you can define when and how an aggregated value is disaggregated to all data records that contribute to this aggregated value.

Table 2: Distribution Option

Option

Description

No Disaggregation: No disaggregation

The values in the structural element are not disaggregated. Cells containing values that are aggregated for the aggregation level cannot be changed.

This is the default setting.

Disaggragate Entered Value: Disaggregate entered value

Cells containing values that are aggregated for the aggregation level can be changed. The new entered value is distributed to all data records that contribute to the changed cell. The type of distribution depends on your entries, as described below.

Disaggregate Difference to Entered Value: Disaggregate difference

Cells containing values that are aggregated for the aggregation level can be changed. The difference between the old entered value and the hew one is distributed to all data records that contribute to the changed cell. The type of distribution depends on your entries, as described below.

Once you have selected a type of disaggregation, the Distribution field allows you to define how an aggregated value is distributed to the data records that contribute to this aggregated value.

Table 3: Type of Distribution

Option

Description

Equally: Equal distribution

Distribution is peformed equally to all data records that contribute to the changed cell (inclusing data records with zero values).

This is the default setting.

Same as in reference object (self reference): Analogous distribution (to self)

Distribution is performed analogously to all data records that contribute to the changed cell.

Same as in reference object: Analogous distribution (a different structural element)

You can specify a structural element as a reference. Distribution is performed analogously to all data records that contribute to the relevant cell of this referenced structural element. You can choose a structural element from the same structure as the reference for the analogous distribution.

Disaggregation for structural elements that contains a basis key figure with the standard (and exception) aggregation NO2

If the structural element contains a basis key figure with the standard (and exception) aggregation NO2, you have the following options:

Table 4: Distribution Option

Option

Description

No Disaggregation: No disaggregation

The values in the structural element are not disaggregated. Cells containing values that are aggregated for the aggregation level cannot be changed.

This is the default setting.

Disaggregate Copy: Copy the entered value

Cells containing values that are aggregated for the aggregation level can be changed. The newly entered value is copied to all data records that contribute to the changed cell.
