Copying Planning/Budget Data (SAP Library - Budget Control System (BCS))

Copying Planning/Budget Data

Use

Using the program Create Planning Data, you can copy the budget or planning data of a budget version or plan version to a version that you want to use for planning. You use this program to:

make the planning data available in one version available in a number of plan versions
use the budget data of a closed fiscal year as a basis for the planning of the new fiscal year.

In principle, you can only generate (budget) planning data in the target version using the process Preparation.

Integration

Deleting Planning Data

If a version already contains planning data by mistake which must be deleted before the new planning data is created, you can delete this data from the database using the program Reset Planning Data.

Creating Budget Data

If you want to use planning data as budget data for budget execution in planning, execute the program Create Budget Data. You can find more information under Creating Budget Entry Documents from Planning/Budget Data.

Prerequisites

Activities

You create and reset planning data in the Funds Management menu under Budgeting ® Budget Control System (BCS) ® Tools ® Planning ® Create Planning Data or Reset Planning Data.
