You can use planned results analysis to calculate planned results analysis data for the following purposes:
To simulate future results analysis data
To settle the planned results analysis data to
Profitability Analysis
(CO-PA) in integrated planning
This type of planned results analysis can only be used for
projects
and
internal orders
.
Planned results analysis is
not
appropriate for sales order items because the system must access periodic planned data, and such data is not available for sales order items. Planned results analysis is therefore not applicable to
Product Cost by Sales Order
.
If you want to calculate planned results analysis data, you must have period-specific planning data.
For planned results analysis with internal orders, you can make the necessary settings in Customizing for
Define Results Analysis Versions
and
Define Valuation Methods for Results Analysis
.
For planned results analysis with projects, go into Customizing for the
Project System
under
Proceed as follows:
Do
not
use results analysis version 0 for planned results analysis. Instead, define a separate results analysis version for planned results analysis. In the new results analysis version, turn on the
Extended Control
.
In the results analysis version, select the indicator
Actual and plan RA
.
Note
The
Actual and plan RA
indicator also includes the functionality of the
Simulate actual w/ plan
indicator. If you have not yet calculated any results analysis data with the
Simulate actual w/ plan
indicator, then you should
always
calculate the planned results analysis data with the
Actual and plan RA
indicator. For information on the indicators, use the F1 help function.
If you want to settle the planned results analysis data to CO-PA in integrated planning, select the indicator
Version relevant to settlement
under
Planned Results Analysis
.
Under
Planned Results Analysis
, enter a plan version. For information on the purpose of the plan version specified in the results analysis version, refer to
Features
.
Under
Planned Results Analysis
, enter a cutoff period for planned results analysis. For detailed information, refer to the F1 help
.
Then go into Customizing for
Product Cost by Sales Order
under
in the step
Define Valuation Methods for Results Analysis
. Proceed as follows:
Specify a valuation method for the results analysis version.
Make the required settings in the
simplified maintenance of valuation methods
.
Then go into the Expert Mode and enter a plan version there. For information on the purpose of the plan version specified in the valuation method, refer to
Features
.
If the
Actual and plan RA
indicator is set, two different types of results analysis data are generated:
Actual results analysis data is generated in a process that valuates actual data on the basis of plan data. This process is the same as the results analysis process performed on the basis of the settings made for actual results analysis. <DS:DE.KKA_VERW_A>Istergebnisermittlung This means that to calculate the planned results analysis data, the system accesses the same Customizing settings as with the calculation of actual results analysis data.
Planned results analysis data is generated in a process that valuates plan data on the basis of plan data:
First the plan data that replaces the actual data is determined. This plan data is determined by the plan version specified in the results analysis version under
Planned Results Analysis
in the
plan version
field.
In addition, the plan data on the basis of which the plan data determined under (1) are valuated must be determined. This plan data is determined by the plan version specified in the Expert Mode of the valuation method in the
plan version
field.
Note
Constraints: If the results analysis version is defined as the version relevant to settlement for planned settlement in Customizing for results analysis in the results analysis version, the plan version entered here must have the same number as the results analysis version used for planned results analysis.
Planned results analysis data
cannot
be transferred to
Financial Accounting
(FI).
The planned results analysis data is updated under a separate value type.
If you want to generate planned results analysis data, you must set the indicator
planned results analysis
before performing results analysis in the application.
