  2. Select Start of the navigation path Edit Next navigation step Comparisons Next navigation step Planned/Actual Next navigation step . End of the navigation path

  3. A dialog box appears in which you have to enter the planning version. In addition, the selected key figure is displayed along with the information structure from which the planned data is read and which thus provides the basis for planning.

  4. Enter the number of the planning version you want to use in the Version field.

  5. PressENTER.

A dialog box appears which compares the planned and actual data for the selected key figure for all characteristic values.

Additional Functions in the Dialog Box Containing the Comparison Data

You can use the function Send to send the list containing all the key figures via SAPoffice. You can find the procedure this in Sending Lists .

You can use the Graphics function to view a graph of all the key figure values that are shown in the list, i.e, both the values of the key figures that are compared and their difference are displayed graphically.

If you use the function Other version, a dialog box will appear in which you can specify a different planning version. The planned/actual comparison will then be created for the same key figure based on this planning version.
