Cancellation Feature

CANCEL_ACTIVE

The functionality of Flexible Planning to address data records in the satellites allows high flexibility but also bears certain risks. What happens to data records in the satellite that are completely deleted or whose key data are modified after posting data in SAP?

If the user adjusts data in Excel, he/she also expects full adjustment of the respective data in SAP. This means that not only the new data record must be posted, but that adjusting the posting for the old data record may also be required. This functionality is implemented by a cancellation feature running in the background.

In order to activate the cancellation feature, the constant CANCEL_ACTIVE must be created or activated (X in the field Value from) in the relevant execution scheme.

Note

See also detailed notes in the section „Cancellation of Rows Modified or Deleted in Excel“ of the FP manual.

Observe:

Activating this feature should be considered carefully. It is highly recommended to activate the feature only if the complete process executed by Allevo FP has been well tested and the constants of the scheme have been verified. If the cancellation feature is already activated, modifying the scheme has consequences that must be considered in detail! Cancellation features are not supported with the satellite included (see constant SATELLITE_INCL.).
