- Further limiting the key figures by period or cost element/cost element group/value category is not possible.
- The customer expected value type serves the same function as the SAP value type. It is intended to explain a key figure by its character. The customer value type can be supplied by the data collection program of the customer enhancement (SAP enhancement AAIP0002). Using this enhancement, you can store and evaluate special key figures that have not been provided by SAP for this purpose. (You can use either the customer value type or the value type.)
Key Figures
In conjunction with the "value type" characteristic, the summarization database offers the following "key figure types." The individual characteristic values that belong to these key figure types can be found under the value type characteristic in the above characteristic list.
- Plan (the individual characteristics are found under the characteristics "plan versions/variants" and/or "indicator new/old")
- Budget (the individual characteristics are found under the characteristic "accounting transaction")
