Planning QueriesLocate this document in the navigation structure

Planning queries can be consumed in the same way as read-only queries.

The difference is that in planning queries the UIBB reacts to the transactional events of the overview page (OVP) floorplan, for example, FPM_EDIT, FPM_CANCEL and FPM_SAVE. The processing of these events is achieved using an implementation of the wire model transaction interface.

If you use a planning query, the wire model transaction class must be used. The default delivery contains the class CL_FPM_BICS_MODEL_TRANSACTION for this purpose.

If a query is in edit-mode, fields for currency and quantity amounts do not display the corresponding unit next to the number; these are only displayed in the same cell in read-only mode.

Note

Manual data entries, planning functions and planning sequences are supported for planning queries. For planning functions, a re-useable filter can be specified to restrict the amount of data the planning function is working with. For planning functions and planning sequences using variables requiring user input, the system displays a dialog box.
