Tab: Planning

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 relevant for locking)	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 (relevant for locking)	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 (relevant for locking)	The data is locked for a user and is input-ready for manual planning.

Disaggregation

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: Disaggregation of Aggregated Values
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 newly 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 new one is distributed to all data records that contribute to the changed cell. The type of distribution depends on your entries, as described below.

Distribution

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 performed equally to all data records that contribute to the changed cell (including 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.
