Define Key Figure Schemes (SAP Library - Entry title was not found)

Define Key Figure Schemes

In this activity, you define the schemes you want to use in the information system. In a key figure scheme, you can define any number of interrelated key figures, referred to as elements of the key figure scheme.

Activities

1. To create a new element of a key figure scheme, choose New entries . Enter a number between 1 and 8999 and a suitable text. If you wish, you can also enter special display parameters.

1. You can use two functions to define the content of a key figure:

a) To define an element that simply represents the addition and subtraction of different values, choose Basic formula. The system displays a list of all the elements to be added or subtracted to define that element. Choose Choose entries and select all the value fields that you want to use in the element. This formula will then become available when you define the next element of the scheme, and will therefore appear in the list of elements under Choose entries.

b) If you want to define a more complex formula, choose Formula editor . Here you can link constants and any elements of the scheme using standard mathematical operators (+, -, *, /) as well as your own ABAP functions. For a detailed description of the functions available in the formula editor, see the section "Information System" in the online documentation for Profitability Analysis.

1. Using the function Check key figure scheme, you can check all the elements of the scheme for syntactical errors.

2. Using the function Overview list, you can obtain an overview of all the formulas in a key figure scheme. The status of the individual formulas - no error, warning, or error - is indicated by the colors green, yellow and red respectively.

You can also print a key figure scheme from the overview list.
