Planning Layout

Definition

Form that determines how planning is carried out based on the characteristics and key figures of a summary table and how the screen is set up for completing planning.

Use

Since the tables you installed serve as the basis in the Special Purpose Ledger, you have to specify the tables on which the planning layout is based.

With a planning layout, you define:

How you want to carry out planning, based on the characteristics and key figures
How the screen is set up for planning, that is, you define how the characteristics and key figures are arranged
Whether you want to enter default values of intervals for selected characteristics and key figures
Whether you want to include actual key figures in your planning

You define planning layouts in Customizing under Accounting ® Financial Accounting ® Special Purpose Ledger ® Planning ® Define Planning Layout.

Planning layouts are created using the Report Painter. You can use all the functions of the Report Painter when editing your planning layouts.

You cannot use sets for periods in your planning layout.

Structure

A planning layout consists of the following parts:

Header area

The header area is defined by the general selection criteria.

Key column(s)

The key columns contain the characteristics that identify the individual lines in the planning layout, such as account or cost center.

Value columns

The value columns contain the key figures to be planned, that is, the plan values.
