Switching Display Formats in Flexible Planning 

In flexible planning, you can view the planning table in a number of different display formats:

This takes you to the aggregate view on your data.

If the planning method is consistent planning and the Aggr. planning indicator has been set in the planning type, you drill up one level in the planning hierarchy. If the planning method is consistent planning and the Aggr. planning indicator has not been set in the planning type, you see the total key figure values for all selected characteristic value combinations.

If the planning method is level-by-level planning, you see the total key figure values at owner level. The owner characteristic value is the last characteristic value you specified in the Characteristics box before entering the planning table. You can also use the pushbutton Owner to carry out this function.

If the planning method is delta planning, you see the total key figure values at the level above the detailed level.

This takes you to the detailed view on your data.

If the planning method is consistent planning and the Aggr. planning indicator has been set in the planning type, you drill down one level in the planning hierarchy. If the planning method is consistent planning and the Aggr. planning indicator has not been set in the planning type, you see the key figure values at the most detailed level of the characteristic values combination. This is often the material level.

If the planning method is level-by-level planning, you see the key figure values at member level. The member level is one level below the owner level in a planning hierarchy. You can also use the pushbutton Member to carry out this function.

If the planning method is delta planning, you see the key figure values at the detailed level. This is the last characteristic value you specified in the characteristics box before entering the planning table.

This takes you from the current characteristic values combination at this hierarchy level to the next characteristic values combination.

In level-by-level planning, you can also use the pushbutton Next member to carry out this function.

This takes you from the current characteristic values combination at this hierarchy level to the preceding characteristic values combination.

In level-by-level planning, you can also use the pushbutton Previous member to carry out this function.

Place your cursor on a key figure before you choose this option.

If the planning method is level-by-level planning, or if the planning method is consistent planning and the Aggr. planning indicator has been set in the planning type, you see the values of the key figure for characterisic values at the next lower level. If the planning method is consistent planning and the Aggr. planning indicator has not been set in the planning type, you see the values of this key figure for all characteristic values at the detailed level. In either case, the sum of the key figure values appears in the top line of the input matrix.

You can view the characteristic values in the left column as either numbers or texts: choose Settings ® Characteristic display ® Description or Settings ® Characteristic display ® Number.
