Using 0RSPL_REPOST_DSO for InfoObject w/o Master Data

[schweizer_benjamin]

Hi everyone,

for our planning application we have the requirement to copy planning values from one element of an InfoObject to another and delete the old data afterwards.

The InfoObject we are using does not have any master data, because it should be possible to use any key/text the user wants.

For this requirement, I created a planning function using the planning function type 0RSPL_REPOST_DSO since we are planning on a DSO.

As parameters for both the "from table" and "to table", I use # as the sequential number and two input variable to distinguish between the from and to element from the InfoObject.

Somehow this does not work as expected.

Does this function type even work for InfoObjects without master data or is there any other problem in the way I want to use it?

Thanks in advance for any feedback or help.

Hello Benjamin,

what do you mean by

"parameters for both the "from table" and "to table", I use # as the sequential number"?

what is the table? Is it a char you have defined?

Bevause if I have a look at this function it does not ask for any table definitions.

Hi Benjamin,

We also have similar requirement for comment Functionality.

I am trying in below way:

1. Created DSO(Planning mode Checked) -

   having Key - comp_code,BG

             data part - Comment(without master data),KF

2. aggregation level - comp_code,BG,comment,KF

3. Filter:

       Comp_code=1129

       BG = 29

      Comment= '#'

4. Planning sequence (same filter is used in both steps)

    step1 - create combination with

               Comp_code- 1129

                BG-              29

                Comment-   '#'

  i.e data get generated in DSO as below

       1129   29    ' '     0

   step2- PF-0RSPL_REPOST_DSO

             field to be changed - comment

               from val - '#''  

               to val - "test" (which exist in SID table of Comment)

after executing step2, its show below messages:

"0 records read, 0 generated, 0 changed, 0 deleted"

"Repost executed without errors"

So data did not get changed, even repost PF executed successfully.

Could you please let me know, how to make work repost planning function.

Thanks in advance !!!

Best Regards,

Abhishek

Hi,

characteristics as key figures are only supported in some planning function types, cf.

Planning Functions - Planning Business Data with BW Integrated Planning - SAP Library

The reason is that the characteristics are exposed as key figures, in fact internally as SID values, and thus - by now - all planning functions that change key figure values (coming from characteristics) are not supported (as SID values would be changed, and this i.g. makes no sense).

Hello Cornelia,

sorry for my late response.

I was talking about the following parameters.

But, I guess, as Gregor mentioned, this is not possible, due to the fact, that we are using characteristics as key figures.

Hi Gregor,

thanks for the clarification.

I was not aware of the fact that only the mentioned planning function types support the characteristic as key figure functionality by now.

I've built a workaround with multiple single steps.

It is not as nice as it would be with the single planning function, but it works.

Regards,

Benjamin
