SAP BW Planning Sequences Configuration Guide - Step-by-Step

To configure planning sequences in SAP BW, follow these steps:\n\n1. Open the Planning Modeler transaction (transaction code: RSPLAN).\n\n2. Create a new planning sequence or open an existing one.\n\n3. Define the sequence type by selecting the appropriate option from the drop-down menu. The available options are:\n\n - Planning Sequence for Single-Step Entry (for single-step input)\n - Planning Sequence for Multi-Step Entry (for multi-step input)\n - Planning Sequence for Reporting (for reporting purposes)\n\n4. Define the sequence description and assign it to a planning package.\n\n5. Define the sequence structure by adding planning functions to the sequence. Planning functions determine the operations to be performed in the sequence, such as data entry, calculations, aggregations, etc. To add a planning function, click on the "New Planning Function" button and select the appropriate function from the list.\n\n6. Configure the planning function by providing the necessary parameters and settings. This includes specifying the data provider (e.g., InfoCube, planning area), the characteristic values to be planned, the planning level, the aggregation method, etc.\n\n7. Define the sequence flow by arranging the planning functions in the desired order. You can use the arrow buttons to move functions up or down in the sequence.\n\n8. Set the sequence properties by clicking on the "Properties" button. Here, you can define settings such as the time-dependent behavior, authorization checks, scheduling, etc.\n\n9. Save the planning sequence and activate it.\n\n10. Test the planning sequence by executing it in the Planning Modeler or in the Integrated Planning (transaction code: RSPLAN).\n\nThese steps outline the basic configuration process for planning sequences in SAP BW. However, please note that the specific steps and options may vary depending on the version of SAP BW you are using.
