SNP Planning book - Period Information Setting Issue

[satish_waghmare3]

Dear All,

In SNP Planning book we have issue related to "Period Information" for

the buckets. The period labelling is not working properly.

Actually when we go to the SNP planning book and change the Period

Information Settings(refer attachment). Once Period Setting is changed,

it gets changed to all the users(globally). So it is behaving as if it is not

user specific settings.

Scenario is - Suppose I changed the Period information in SNP Planning

book to appear in particular format, and when other users goto SNP

Planning book their Period Information Setting gets automatically

set to the same format which was I changed to, and vice-versa.

FYI - We do not have - Use-Exit implemented for Period Setting.

Appreciate any input in this regard.

Thank you

Hi Satish,

yes,this period setting in planning book is not user specific.When one user changes period indicator then it will effect to all users who opens this planning book and data view.Using note 1451494 you can restrict users to change this indicator.

Thanks Sunitha. Apprciate your quick reply.

One question on the same topic, When you goto Design of the Planning Book, inside Dataview Tab, Period Labelling filed shows value as "A", However F4 drop-down list do not contain u201CAu201D value for the selection. Only possible values as F4 drop-down list are Blank, U, Z, B and E.

Could you please share any input if you have any in this regard.

Thank you

Hi Satish,

I also see this A setting for some planning views.

Can't help you with the explanation, but since I don't really see any impact of this, I guess you could also ignore this.

Hi Pawan

Thanks for the reply.

Here is what SAP has to say, this is as per reply to my OSS message.

Question- The period information settings cannot be

made user-specific; there is no customization possible. right?

SAP Says-------> Regarding the period information settings, there is really no

customization to achieve the result, unfortunately.

Question- When you goto Design of the Planning Book, inside the Dataview Tab,

Period Labelling field shows value as "A", However F4 drop-down list do

not contain u201CAu201D value for the selection. Only possible values in F4 drop-

down list are Blank, U, Z, B and E. Could you please clarify this?

SAP Says -

---

> Regarding the period labeling values, the 'A' value is blank in the

selection because you can also leave it blank for the system to use the

'standard labeling' option.

Sharing it for for everyone's benefit.

Thank you

Satish.

Hello,

The newest note for this issue is 1549610 and 1613720, could you please apply these two notes too?

If you still have period labeling as 'A' in any planning book setting, you can just change it to the one you want (though 'A' will do no harm to your system).

The above two notes will avoid changing it to 'A' any more.

Best Regards,

Ada

Hello Satish,

I know the two notes because I have worked on a same issue as yours, and the notes solved the problem.

I think they should also work for your issue.

Hope this helps.

Best Regards,

Ada
