Multiple Years Planning: Quantity Fix

FD_QNTY_FIXy

Often, a display with multiple planned quantities entered in a single Excel row (across multiple columns) is desired. This constant realizes two application cases:

· Multiple years planning and

· Posting to different cost elements (column by column)

These FP planning functions can be realized for up to 10 columns.

Note:

In both cases, the parameters FD_QNTY_FIXy and YEARy or COLDEFy (y from 0 to 9) form a unit that is to be maintained in the constants. If the corresponding mapping for VERSION0-9 is missing, the version of the main planning year will be used. This is beneficial e.g. for budget planning, with the version usually being irrelevant anyway.

1^st Application: Multiple years planning with Quantity fixed

Name of the fields containing the fixed quantities for the years 0 – 9.

2^nd Application: Assign primary cost elements via columns

As an alternative to multiple years planning, the quantity fields may also be permanently attached to a primary cost element. In this case, the information on the cost element will not be taken from the data record via FD_KSTAR but from the constants.

Enter the respective primary cost element in the constants FD_QNTY_FIX0 to FD_QNTY_FIX9 in the field Value to.

New from version 3.1:

Using fixed primary costs on quantity columns (Value to of FD_QNTY_FIX0 to FD_QNTY_FIX9) is in principle possible for all allocation types and not only for primary costs. If the respective Value to field is empty, the cost element will be read from the field FD_KSTAR.

Note:

Both procedures differ only in the entry for Value to: an entry must involve a valid cost element.
