Plan data handling profile

[jeno_nemeth]

Dear Gurus,

There is a customzing point under Project System -> Costs -> Planned Costs -> Maintain plan data handling profile.

Does anyone have any idea about:

- where can it be used?

- what is it used for?

I was looking for any tool which makes plan figures on WBS elements out of purchase orders and I found this but there is no info at all, no where.

Thanks in advance,

Jeno

This profile is aimed to be used in transaction AD31 (and associated Tcode AD32). Those belongs to an add-on of IS A&D solution.

The purpose is to provide a functionality to calculate the plan cost at completion by adding the actuals costs (including or not the commitments form PO and/or PR) to the cost to complete entered in a specific planning version.

This functionality can also be used to calculate the cost to complete by calculating the difference between the plan costs at completion stored on a dedicated planning version, and actuals costs (including or not the commitments form PO and/or PR).

As SAP provides, independently, the possibility to copy actual to plan, the profile gives the flexibility to calculate the cost to complete by adding 2 planning versions.
