Execute a Planning Function (Simple) 

Use

Using the Execute a Planning Function (Simple) command (EXEC_PLANNING_FUNCTION_SIMPLE), you can trigger the execution of a planning function.

All characteristic selections are determined by specifying one single data provider. The type for the data provider can be Filter or Query View. If the data provider is of type Query View, only the fixed filter of the query is used to restrict the selection. Additional restrictions, such as restricted key figures, are not used. When you use this command, you should note which restrictions were defined in the filter for the query so that the planning function does not change more data than required.

If you want to individually specify for each characteristic how the selection is to be determined, use the Execute a Planning Function command.

Command Parameters

The following information lists the command parameters in the same sequence that they appear in the command wizard when you insert the command:

Parameter	Description
Variable Screen	You use this parameter to specify whether a variable screen is to be displayed. If you do not select this option, the variable screen is displayed only if mandatory variables are not filled.
Data Binding: Reference to Data Provider of Type Filter	You use this parameter to specify the data on which the planning function is to be executed. (See Sources for Characteristic Selection and Variables.)
Data Binding: Variant	If the planning function uses variables, you can use this parameter to specify how they are to be filled. Using a variable variant, you therefore specify the parameterization of the planning function. (See Sources for Characteristic Selection and Variables.)
Data Binding: Variables	You use this parameter to specify the values for individual variables of the planning function. If a variant is also selected, a value assigned using this parameter is given precedence. (See Sources for Characteristic Selection and Variables.)
Planning Function (PLANNING_FUNCTION)	Technical name of the planning function. You use this parameter to specify which planning function is to be executed.

The following figure illustrates how the options outlined in this table can be used to parameterize a simple planning function.
