Determining the Revaluation Factor 

Use

A revaluation factor is an optional planning aid that makes the entry of plan data in the automatic planning easier.

A revaluation factor defines increase and decrease percentage rates for the key figures of an aspect. When maintaining the revaluation factors, enter a revaluation factor for each key figure that should be increased. For each key figure that should be decreased you enter a negative revaluation factor.

You can assign a revaluation factor to certain combinations of characteristic values in Customizing in order to represent different planning scenarios in automatic planning. This assignment is done using an object-dependent parameter and a planning aid access. For each combination of characteristic values (for example, company code 0001, fiscal year 1999) you can portray several scenarios. You do this by storing several object-dependent parameters with different planning aid accesses. This enables you to store, for example, best-case and worst-case plans. For more information, see Customizing.
