Background documentation Sources for Characteristic Selection and Variables  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

The following overview illustrates the extent to which you can select which source is to fill characteristics and variables when you use the following commands: Execute a Planning Function (Simple), Execute a Planning Function, and Execute a Planning Sequence (Simple)

Characteristic selection

For all characteristics, the selection is determined from the specified data provider (of type filter or query view).

For each characteristic, you can specify the source from which values are to be taken. You use the Selection Binding Type parameter (SELECTION_BINDING_TYPE) to select from the following options:

      Web Item Selection (ITEM_CHARACTERISTIC): The Analysis Web item is suitable for the analysis.

      Variable (VARIABLE)

      Web Item with Manual Input (Input Field Web item) (ITEM_INPUT)

      Selections (SELECTIONS)

      Data Provider Selection (DATA_PROVIDER_SELECTION)

Note

Depending on the source you select, you must set additional parameters. More information: Set Filter Values Using Different Sources.

Variable selection

Variables associated with types:

      Characteristic Value Variable (INFO_OBJECT_MEMBER_VARIABLE)

      Hierarchy Variable (HIERARCHY_VARIABLE)

      Value Set Variable (VALUE_SET_VARIABLE)

      Text Variable (TEXT_VARIABLE)

      Formula Variable (FORMULAR_VARIABLE)

      Input String for Variable (VARIABLE_INPUT_STRING)

Variable types that are filled dynamically can be filled by other sources at the runtime of the Web application:

      Selection Binding Type (SELECTION_BINDING_TYPE)

The Selection Binding Type variable type provides the same sources that are available for characteristic selection for the Execute a Planning Function command.

      Web Item Input Field (ITEM_INPUT)

Note

Depending on the variable type you select, you must set additional parameters. For more information, see Set Variable Values.
