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.
